Cutting ARRAY at Council Bluffs.

Council Bluffs, Dec. 2S.-Bierwirth's
saloon at SOS West Broadway was the
scene of serious cutting affray yes
terday morning about 4 o'clock. Charles
Bierwirth, the proprietor of the saloon
as result has deep cut on the back
of his neck inflicted by William Dol
son, who used an ordinary pocket knife
to carve his victim. The wound ex-
tends five inches across the back of
Bierwirth's neck and nearly severed
the heavy muscles. Had the knife pen
etrated trifle deeper a murder would
have resulted. Bierwirth was able to
be about yesterday, but the seriousness
of his wound has not fully developed rs
yet.
The whereabouts of Dolson, Bier
wirth's assailant, is not now known,
the police having made no effort what
ever to apprehend and place him un-
der arrest, altho one of the officers
was at the scene Of the affair only
few minutes after it happened. The
police claim that they have no occasion
to arrest Dolson unless Bierwirth files
an information against him, which he
had not done up to late last night
Dolson is reported to have left the
city, which he has had every oppor-
tunity of doing. He was formerly a
bartender.

coming year. Mr.. Jones has been play
ing With the normal eleven for the past

fenced football men having determined

expect to have the new 100000 gymnas-
ium completed and ready for use at the
opening of the fall session of 1903, and
it is thought the completion of this new
structure will have a strong tendency
to attract those students who have
desire for special instruction In gym
nasium work, and the football follow
ers are hopeful that among the num-
Der will be some husky candidates for
the football aggregation.
Guy Lowinan has been appointed
manager of the base ball team for the

a schedule. Joe Johnson has been made

Special to Times-Republican.


Keokuk, Iowa, Dec. 2.-Judge Nc
Pherson, of the federal court has just
handed down an opinion in the case of
the United States VS.. the Adams Ex-
press company, in which the corpora
ton was indicted for carrying on the
business of a retail liquor business
without having paid the special tax as
required by law. The federal court in
it's opinion holds that the express COM
pany is only an agent of the vendors
in carrying liquors and collecting and
returning the money.
AS the express company did not sell
liquors it was not engaged in the bust
ness of liquor dealer. The court in
this opinion has overridden the decis-
ions of the supreme courts of Iowa.
The packages of liquor We're sent by
liquor house at Dallas, ILL.,, to parties
at Birmingham, G. o. d. The express
company was indicted, the government
claiming title was transferred to the
company when it received G. Q. D.
packages: Judge Mcpherson in his
opinion says:
''The only question to be considered
in the case is where and by whom the
liquor was sold. If in Illinois, the
court is without Jurisdiction. If by the
Dallas company in Iowa, then the
grand jury has erred in naming the de-
PENDANT in the Indictment. Did the
Adams Express company carry on the
business of liquor dealer in Iowa?
'eThe defendant as a common carrier
may exact carrying charges in advance.
Or it may waive prepayment of such
charges, in which event it has a lien
on such merchandise, for carry
charges, by payment of which consig-
nee removes the lien. In such case the
carrier has no interest or profit in the
transaction, other than a carrier. 1t
receives no commission for the sale of
the liquor
Judge Mcpherson holds that the title
to the liquors passed from the Dallas
company to the consignees when they
were deposited in the express Office at
Dallas.

Waterloo, Dec. 23-In his cross Pc
tition and answer to his wife's petition
for divorce, which was filed Nov %.
Rev. Joseph Cook makes some serious
allegations against his wife of few
months.
Catherine Cook in her petition ac-
cused the retired minister of being
misery, cruel and hard-hearted. In his
answer, Rev. Cook denies the allega-
ton in toto. He says that altho she
may have been i'll and suffered, it was
all on account of her insane greed
for money and that in order to ac-
cumulate she deprived herself of even
the necessities Of life. He states that
he was formerly a minister of the
Methodist church, being appointed a
pastor In 1854. On account of failing
health he was retired and received a
small annuity from the church.
Rev. Cook alleges that his wife COM

havior. During all this time he treated
her with love, kindness, respect and
Christian charity that is due a wife.

Mary e. Poisall, wife of George Z.
Poisall, formerly editor of the Mason
City Times Herald, has been holding
the position since the death OF her
husband Recently the office was raised
to a presidential Office and the salary
correspondingly increased and this
has put the six other applicants IN
the field. The business of the Z. u.
Locke Mafg. Co., is what has raised
the office to the presidential list and
this firm is in favor of the retention
of Mrs. Poisall. The Scandinavian ele-
ment is strong in the town and sur
rounding country and they will bring
all sorts of pressure to bear on the
congressman, who is himself Scand-
inavian for the appointment of one OF
his kinsmen. The contest is not likely
to cool down much between this time
and the final settlement

THE WEDDING CAKE.
A Fine, Rich Homemade Connection,
Handsomely Iced.

A Fine, Rich Homemade Connection,
Handsomely Iced.
Given our grandmothers' careful re-
GARD to mixing, making and baking
and q slow oyen-no hotter, in fact,
than is required for the bean pot
then close watching until the cake Is
ready to be taken out, there is no rea-
son why, with good recipe, a home
made wedding cake cannot be the
proudest achievement in the bridal
preparations. According to Good House
keeping, such is the case, and 1t gives
Instructions, about as follows, for Sc
curing this result:
Cream till very light one pound of
butter; gradually add one pound OF
sugar and beat il well together. Sepa-
rate the yolks and whites of twelve
at the, work, it will hasten matters if
one beats the yolks till thick and lem
on colored while the other whips the
whites to dry froth. 1t will do no
harm If, during the same time, one
cook continues the steady Dreaming OF
the butter and sugar. To this add the
yolks of the eggs, then the whites.
Add one pound of -four, saving from
this quantity one-third of cupful to
dredge the fruit, which Is added later.
Now put in two teaspoonfuls of Gin
namon. I1Snr,ee-fourths of teaspoonful
each of nutmeg. aiiiissnniice and mace, half
a teaspoonful of cloves and quarter
of cupful or a little more Of milk, II
your principles forbid the use of the
brandy which allows the traditional
wedding cake to be made month or
six weeks before it is needed that it
may improve with age.
The fruit mixture required to enrich
this batter is three pounds of raisins
seeded and cut in halves, one pound
Of currants, one pound of citron cut in
very thin slices and one pound of fine
ly chopped figs. Dredge the raisins,
figs and currants with flour and add
to the cake. Butter and flour a large
round pan and into this put layer of
the cake mixture. Dredge the citron
with -four and lay it carefully over the
batter. Cover with the remainder Of
the mixture; lay the rest of the citron
on top. Cover the pan with buttered
paper, tying it down about the rim;
then steam for three hours. Afterward
bake for one and a half hours in a
very slow oven.
II you are not an expert on the use
of the pastry bag in icing, the cake
might be given caterer for finishing
touches, or take private lesson on
ornamental frosting at a cooking
school. This would cost no more than
the baker would charge, and you
would obtain knowledge that would
enable you to be prepared for second
wedding In the family.
A pastry bag is made Of half yard
square of rubber cloth folded into a
three cornered bag. The end is cut off,
andx into it is slipped an icing tube,
which can be bought for 1b cents at
any kitchen furnishing house. FIJI the
point Of the bag with the thick frost
ing and squeeze it through in any pat
tern desired. Roses, stars or hearts
can be achieved according to the shape
of the tube. Hold the point of the bag
In the left hand while using and
squeeze the frosting through.
