pie and the Exposition grounds and
nearby resorts were thronged with yisi-
tors.
The Exposition is growing more beau
tiful every day. and now that tho
weather is making out of-door life 50
very attractive, the authorities are pro-
viding continuous performances for the
visitors. Every afternoon and evening

At the foot of Broad street is the "Cid

PLASTIC ART IN IVORY CITY


American art is: as everything Ameri-
can it advances. In no department has
this advance been more rapid than in
sculpture, and as the South Carolina H.
terstate and West Indian Exposition is
the latest Exposition, it has the advant-
age of all the others.
In all parts of the art and Natural
Sections" of the Ivory City are to be
seen beautiful statues. most of which
represent incidents allied to Southern
history.
Artists with high ideals have con-
tributed from their talent, and in five
groups seen in the Court of Palaces this
is evident The Aztec Group, by Louis
A. Gudebrod of New York Exposition
Director of Sculpture. The piece bears its
inspiration in the life of the Children
o. the Sun and is in two statues, one the
great Inca Atahuallpa, who with face
and hands uplifted to the rising sun
towers above a reverent figure of his
race and to Pizarro. who calls for his
vassalage to the King of Spain and bids
him avow the error of his faith he de-
clares his faith in his own god 1t is Il

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Oct. 9.-The Iowa SUI
preme court did not decide the appeal
case Of Phillips and Brooks, from Buena
Vista county, virtually in advance. It
was expected that in rendering an opin-
ion in the case of the state VS.. King,
from Buena Vista, the case against the
condemned men would be practically
the King case was that the jury panel
was imperfect In that the names of
staleSmen from one precinct of Storm
Lake were enormously omitted from
the box, the judges of election having
failed to make q return of names Of
electors suitable for talesmen. The at
torneys for the defendant contended
that, because of this error and omis-
sion, the jury was illegal and the trial
without effect. and therefore new trial
should be granted. The identical same
questions appear In the record on the
Phillips and Brooks case. But the SUE
preme court in deciding the King case
yesterday found other errors sufficient
to make new trial necessary and fails
ed to mention the jury error. So the
case Of the two men condemned to
death will be submitted and stand on
its own bottom. But it is somewhat pc.
culiar that while this question OF the
alleged error in the jury is made most,
conspicuous in the Phillips Brooks
case in the abstract and assignment Of
errors, 1T is not argued by the attor-
neys in the printed arguments. They
will likely. take 1t up on the oral argu-
ment.
In the King case the court entered
upon a discussion of the value of testi-
mony of witness under IA years of
age The court made 1t plain that
while one over IA is presumed to be a
good witness one under that age must
be shown to be competent, and thus
the sole question as to witness is not
age but competency. In this case the
child 10 years old on whose testimony
the case rested showed herself to fully
understand that she was to tell the
truth or she would be punished, but in
the view of the court she should have
shown some knowledge of the nature

Third Annual Meeting Of Grand coun-

Cedar Rapids, Oct. 10.-Wednesday
afternoon at the Masonic Temple oc-
CURED the third annual meeting of the
grand council of Iowa Royal and Select
Masters This is counted since the
cryptic degrees were divorced or spir-
tied from the grand chapter. The
grand councils of Iowa many years ago
had a separate organization, but in the
,7O's were absorbed into the grand
chapter and until three years ago
were wodked and controlled by that
body.
The annual address of the Most II
lustrious Grand Master #. w. Cleve-
land, of Harlan, was listened to with
close attention. 1t showed a very flat
tering condition of cryptic Masonry in
Iowa. During the past year five new
councils have been instituted and there
is every indication of a greater growth
in the future The address was couch
ed turnout in the most optimistic lang
uage, and the grand master and his
efficient officers are certainly to be con-
graduated for the showing made.
