Iowa Has a Toy Pistol Law.

In view of the fact that great many
lives were sacrificed in Iowa, July 4th,
by toy pistols it might be we'll for the
public to be conversant with the law
and see that it was enforced. 1t is sec
tion 1904, page 195hvof the code and
reads as follows:
! "No person shall knowingly sell, pre-
sent or give any pistol, revolver or toy
pistol to any minor. Any violation of
this section shall be punished by fine
of not less than Sa5, per more than 800,
or by imprisonment III tile county jail
not less than ten or more than thirty
days.

Northern Missouri to trade for Iowa

ent Governor of this state.

One thing is certain, the candidates
for legislative Office, in Decatur county
and the fifth senatorial district must
define their position relative to the
candidacy of Mr.. Blythe for the United
States senate. Again we call on Mr..
Stookcy for an expression of what he
will do in this matter. He cannot evade
it. He MUST answer. 1t is true he
answered it in his issue of May IA, but
he may want to modify it or have his
Pennypacker do it. If not, JACTA EST
ALEA. A REPUBLICAN.

Whose Business is it to PROSECUTED

The booze joint which has been run
ming at intervals for the past year in
the old hotel building south of the de-
pot, has been opened up again the past
week with a new man in charge. 1t
seems passing strange that this joint is
allowed to run in open defiance to the
law, but nobody wants to take up the
matter of prosecuting. The city author
tiles claim it is the county attorneys
place to prosecute, and the county
attorney says it is not his place to file
an information and he has nothing to do
with the enforcement OF the law until
an information has been flied, and then
he will prosecute. 1t certainly seems
that it is somebody's business to see
that this place is closed up and kept
closed
| Section 242S of the Code in speaking
about the enforcement of the state law
in regard to selling liquor reads:
| "Peace officers shall see that all pro-
visions of this chapter are faithfully
executed within their respective juris-
dictions, and when informed, or they
have reason to believe, that the law has
been violated, and that proof thereof
can be had, they shall file an informa-
tion to that effect against the offending
party before magistrate, who shall
thereupon proceed according to law.
Upon trial of such causes, the county
attorney shall appear for the state, ull-
less some other attorney, selected by
the peace officer who filed the informa-
ton, shall have previously appeared
Amy peace officer failing to comply with
the provisions of this section shall pay
a fine of not less than ten nor more than
fifty dollars, and a conviction shall work
a forfeiture of his Office"
The Code also specifies who are peace
|ofiicem, naming sheritfs and their depu-
ties, eonstables, marshals and policemen
of cities and towns.
This paper has frequently expressed
itself as in favor of a license saloon as
lagainst open joints and bootIeggers
and we have not changed our opinion
And we are decidedly opposed to hooze
Joints running in this town which VIC
late the law and pay neither city or
state license.

KISSED HANDS AND FEET.

All kissed his hand and foot, while he
saluted each on the cheek, with the kiss
of peace. Then all broke into the tc
deum with such effect that scarcely an
eye was dry.
Plus Y then arose and in, at first, a
voice tremulous, but gradually becoming
full and firm, administered the papal
blessing to all of the members of the
sacred college. 1t was received with
bowed heads uncovered.
The fisherman's S ring, not yet having
been found, new one, designed by
Camcrlengo Oreglia, was placed on the
pope's finger as a symbol of renewed
power and evidence that the Catholic
church has once more a sovereign head.
Sarto bore himself with becoming
dignity and gave no outward sign of
exultation in this, the supreme moment
of his life.
BUT LITTLE IS KNOWN OF NEW POPE.
Very Rev. NJ Flavin, of Des Moines,
ON being shown telegram announcing
the election of Cardinal Sarto, said:
Cardinal 4Sarto was compromise can
didate," said he, land | know almost
nothing of him. l looked for the cleo
tion of Rampolla or one of the others
and had no thought of Sarto. l was in
Venice few years ago but have no
recollection of who was cardinal there
at that time. The hand of God is in the
selection, we can rest assured of that
and that ut will be well for the church
and the world

STAYS ALL IN FAMILY
OHIO MAN KILLS HIS WIFE, BABES
AND HIMSELF.
TWO DIE WHILE ASLEEP
Inability to Buy Christmas Toys
Causes Tragsdy-R. w. Derby Loses
On Horses, Then Turns to Murder
Children of and Try to Escape,
bat He Chases and Shoots.

| Cleveland, o., Dec. 21.-Because he
had lost in betting On horse races and
had no money with which to buy
Christmas toys Roscoe w. Derby ex-
terminated his family and killed him
self early Sunday morning. He shot
his wife as she lay asleep beside him.
Then he chased two of his children
around the house in the darkness I'M
I'll he could shoot them to death. AT
terward he shot his youngest child as
! it lay asleep in bed and finally he blew
cut his own brains. The corpses were
found by friend to whom Derby the
night before had written a letter say
ing that when 1t was received the en-
tire family would be dead. All about
were evidences of a desperate chase
and struggle between Derby and his
eldest children before bullets ended the
little Cnes' lives.
The exact hour of the quintuple
tragedy is not known. The results
were discovered, however, as soon as
the friend who received the warning
letter could reach the house. Follow
lowing are the dead:
Derby, Roscoe, machinist, about IS
years old.
Derby, Mrs. Della, wife of Roscoe.
Derby, Harold, age years.
Derby, Alice, age z years.
Derby, Thomas, age years.
Derby was downtown until IL o'clock
Saturday night, ostensibly shopping,
hut in all probability securing ammu-
milton for his revolver. When he got
home mis- wife and he talked with a
neighbor over the approaching holt
day festival. Derby seemed pale and
nervous. Shortly after his arrival the
neighbor left and the Derby family
went to bed.
The crime is believed to have been
committed about 4 o'clock. Mrs.
Derby was shot to death in bed, two
bullets having been fired into her fore
head, and a third, probably fired after
the children had been exterminated, in
the back of the neck. The expression
on Mrs. Derbys face showed no sign
of struggle and it was calm and
peaceful. Two of the children, how
ever. must have had a struggle with
their Infatuated parent after being
awakened by the noise of the first re-
volver shots. Apparently they sought
TO escape him, but without avail.
After the extraordinary crimes had
been committed the perpetrator OF
them went into the bedroom where his
wife had been killed and, lying down
at her side, fired a bullet into his own
brain and died.
A number of pOolroom race checks
were found about the house, showing
that Derby had been vainly trying his
luck in betting On the races.
