company that corporation will have to
pay into the countys Golfers the sum
$25 900 back taxes on personal prop

MAY LET CASE REST.
Attorney General Not Decided as 10
Course in Esston Case.

Des Moines, Feb. 4.-Attorney Gen
eral Mullan said yesterday he had mol
fully determined whether to ask for
rehearing in the case Of the state VS.
Easton, recently decided by the Unit
ed States supreme court. The deci-
sion involved the question whether the
statutes Of Iowa relative to banks can
be made to apply TO national BANKS.
Mr.. Mullan indicated that he might
ask for rehearing. but said he would
take no action until he had secured a
copy of the fulfil opinion from Wash
ington.
TIE question is one with which A..
torney General Mullan is thoroughly
familiar. as he is probably the first
man in the country to raise 1t. The
point first came up in the case OF the
state VS.. Fields. The defendant IN
this case was cashier of the First Ma
tional bank of Cedar Falls and like
Easton he was charged with receiving
cepoGits when he was aware the bank
was insolyent.
Mr.. MuIlan was attorney for Fields
and on a demurrer to the indictment
be raised the question whether Fields
being ar officer of a national bank. was
amenable to the criminal statutes OF
Iowa relative to banking. Judge Ney
sustained Mr.. Mullan's contention, bu'
when the case was annealad to be- 81
preme court of the state that body held
the Iowa statute with reference to re
ceiying deposits when insolvent ap

Young Girls apt Description OF Cham

Mr.. J. has great and growing rep
utation for snoring-his intimate
friends say he is in class all by him

A few summers ago, while J. and
his wife were On driving trip, they
stopped overnight at a hotel in Sulli-
van county, says the New York Trib-
une. The hotel was a frame building,
the bedrooms were divided by thic
beard partitions. and the acoustic
properties were so good that any
sound much louder than whisper in
one room could be distinctly heard in
the room adjoining.
Shortly after ]. and his wife were
shown to their room another party,
consisting Of mother and two young
daughters, arrived and were put in tie
room adjoining that OF the is.
That night, j., being very tired.
slept soundly and-his wife says
nobly sustained his reputation as a
sound producer.
The next morning, while they were
seated at breakfast, the new arrivals
Oh the night before were ushered into
the dining room and were given seats
at the same table, opposite J. and his
wife.
The younger daughter was Of a very
laxative disposition, and after giving
her views on things in general sud-
denly broke out with:
"Oh mamma! this place is just like
the real country-every time | woke
up last night could hear the pigs"

Des Moines, Feb. 4.-Goyernor Cum
Minis has announced that after con-
ference with Attorney General Mullan
he has decided not to call an election
in the Second district for member Of
congress.
Taking into consideration, he
said 'the notice that must be given for
a special election and the ordinary de-
lays incident to the publication Of the
proclamation, the return Of the judges,
the canvas OF the returns by the
county and state boards, and the issr-
ance Of the certificates, / am OF the
opinion that before the newly elected
representative could reach the seat OF
government the term for which Mr..
Rumple was elected would have ex-
pired; therefore, am of the opinion
that the law does not require ne to
call special election, and / shall not
do SO. BY this course the counties OF
the Second congressional district will
be saved very large expense, which,
II made, could be of no benefit what.
