ILLEGAL LIQUOR PERMITS.
Webster County Druggists Are Fearful
of Comma Prosecution.

Webster City, Ia, April S.-The fact
has just come to light that there are
seven or eight illegal permits to sell
intoxicating liquors held in this county.
They are permits which We're granted
previous to 1897 and have in them no
expiration clause, but are made to ex-
.pire when revoked by proper author
ity." Under the provision of the new
code in 1897 all permits of this character
expired in 1900, when it was specified
that all permits should have in them a
certain and specific date of expiration.
The discovery that there are illegal
permits in the county has caused con-
siderable uneasiness upon the part of
the druggists who held them, as it APP
pears that several of the druggists hold
these permits through bad faith, while
1t seems TO be admitted that one or two
Of Thorn are held through lack of knowl-
edge of what the law requires. AS to
what the outcome may be cannot be
said. County Attorney Blake expects to
bring the matter to the attention of the
district court, when 1T seems probable
that some of the druggists will have the
mulct tax imposed upon them for the
years 1900, 1901, 1902 and 1903 Drug
gists all overthe country are thoroughly
frightened and several of them have
voluntarily surrendered their permits
pending settlement OF the matter.

NEW GERMAN MARRIAGE LAW.
Going Back to FatherIand to Marry
Attended With Difficulties.

Des Moines, Ia, April 8.-Governor
Cummins today replied to an inquiry
from Secretary of State John Hay on
matter of great interest to all German
people in this country. Secretary Hay
had received letter from Consul
Mason at Frankfort giving the text of
a new German marriage law which
went into effect January 1, 1900, which
requires among other things, before
a marriage certificate can issue to u
resident of some foreign country "a
certificate by the proper authorities
of his native home or state to the effect
that the authorities know of no lust
cause or impeachment why the mar
r1age should not take place." There are
many Germans who go back to the
fatherland to marry The consul re-
have experienced trouble in getting
married under this new German law
All the certificate they could produce
would be one from reputable person ac-
quainted with them stating personal
knowledge that the applicant for mar
riage is eligible, but the German magis-
trates have refused to accept these GER
tlflcates unless consular officer GER
titles that no other certifcatei is possible
and that the United States laws do not
provide for court records in such mat
tiers. But Secretary Hay points out that
under the regulations consuls are for
hidden to make any such certificates.
Secretary Hay wrote Governor Cum
Minis to ask il there was any official in
Iowa who has the power to certify as
to the eligibility to marriage of any
person, and the governor informed him
that there is no such officer. 1t Is ex-
pected this will form the basis of an
application to congress for an amend
ment to the consular regulations Civ
ing consuls the power in Germany to
certify as to the facts. But until this
is done, Americans planning to we'd in
Germany, would do we'll to change their

sEW CHANGES in CITIES
As Rule. Ohio Towns Remain in the
Same Hands as Beforc-Michiaan
Carried by the Republican,
ingalls, Badly Beaten.

Cincinnati, o., April S.-While the re
municipal elections in Ohio yesterday
they did rot secure many changes in
the administration of the cities The
most notable exception was at Column
bus, where Mayor liinkle, democrat, is
succeeded by Jeffrys, republican.
The mayors of all the leading cities
except Columbus We're reelected. The
republicans retained control of Gin
cinnati. and the democrats of Cleve-
land. and Samuel M. Jones was elected
as an independent for the fourth time
IS mayor of Toledo. The democrats re-
elected their tickets at Dayton, San
iusky, Chilicothe, Hamilton and other
cities normally democratic and the re-
puolicans at SteuDenNille, Youngstown,
Warren, 1ronton, Portsmouth and other
towns that they have heretofore con-
trolled.
The winning tickets were of either of
the dominant parties. The fusion
tickets as a rule We're defeated in
dozen or more cities where they We're
in the field. One of the most noted
gains of the republicans was at Mans
held, and of the democrats at Spring.
field, whore local issues controlled re-
suits and was the case in most changes.
There is much diversity of opinion as
to the effect of these municipal
elections upon the next republican NOM
nation for governor, but it is con-
coded that Mayor Tom john
son of Cleveland will now become
a formidable candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination for governor a few
months hence. and the Ingalls, organ
ization Will be continued with view
of making him the democratic opponent
of Hanna for the senatorship. There
is considerable gossip here about the
incipient boom of Mayor Fleschmann
for the republican nomination for gov
ernor. 1t is conceded that the indorse-
ment of Mayor Fieschmann's admins
trattcn mainly produced the result in
Cincinnati. the largest plurality on the
largest vote in the history of the city.
Owing to his large business interests
he had declined denomination, but after
the fusionists nominated Melville e.
Ingalls, the nominal ton was forced upon
Fleischmann. The republican gains in
Cincinnati We're not maintained in the
numerous suburbs here. About the
usual party results were reported.
The election yesterday was the first
under the new Ohio municipal code,
which reorganized all cities with diff
ierent system of officers, and none are
holding over from previous elections.

1T is not true that 1 went to the

PULLED SEVENTEEN TEETH.
Tired the Dentist Out, but the Woman
Didn't Mind IL.

Fort Dodge. Ia, April S.-As a per-
spring dentist. after considerable mus
cular effort, jerked out three or four
husky molars, Mrs. Lennon of Glare,
who had climbed into the chair with the
prospect of having seventeen teeth ex-
tractcd at sitting, looked up in his
face with kindly anxiety, and asked,
Don't it make you tired to work so
hard, doctor?" The perspiring dentist
suppressed his sense of the ludicrous,
and resumed his teeth pulling.
Mrs. Lennon did not seem to feel that
she was doing anything out of the Or
binary. When she was In the chair
her sympathy was more for the dem
fist than for herself. Mrs. Lennon re-
turned to her home entirely unsuspect-
ing that she had broken a record in
Fort Dodge dental annals.
