Rural Carrier is in Trouble.

SHENANDOAH, Ia, March 26.-(Special.)
Charles @. Leonard, a rural mail carrier of
this place, who was arrested some time
ago for d~efrauding the government by re-
moving uncanceled stamps from letters
picked up by him while at work and re-
placing them with cancelled stamps, was
taken before the Page County Board Of In
sanity for examination. The board declined
to act in the matter prior to his being ex-
amined by the federal court at Creston.
and he was taken to that place, where the
grand jury promptly indicted him. His
bondsmen then represented to Judge Nc
Pherson that they desired to file a charge
Of insanity against him and the case was
continued until the September term Of
court. Leonard was brought back to
Clarinda and there examined as to his san
ity. the grounds for the examination being
that his mind had been upset by domestic
troubles. his wife having secured a divorce;
by business reverses, he having lost a farm
in Nebraska recently, and also by reason of
excessive drinking, the man formerly hav-
ing been subject to excessive spells Of in
toxication. His father died insane when
he was quite young.

MAYOR MORGAN HAS PERMIT
Said to Be Only Council Bluffs Druggist
Who Complies with Law.
ALSO FILES REPORTS WITH AUDITOR
investigation Started by saloon Men
since sunday Closing order Re-
suits in Bringing Out
These Facts.

OF all the druggists In Council Bluffs
Mayor Morgan is said to have the distinc-
ton Of being the only one to have com
piled with the law relative to securing the
necessary permit to sell liquors. The
records OF both the district and superior
courts. IL is said, fail to show where any
druggist in the city, with the exception Of
Mayor Morgan. has obtained the necessary
permit to sell liquor, although 1t is alleged
they all do and that their business in this
respect has greatly increased since County
Attorney Killpack issued his manifesto to
the saloons to clase on Sundays.
This led the saloon men to investigate,
with the result, as they allege. that Mayor
Morgan is the only druggist in Council
Bluffs who has a legal permit to sell liquor.
Not only has Mayor Morgan obtained in
the legal manner the necessary permit, but
he has further complied with the law by
making the requisite reports to the county
auditor OF all liquor sold by him and to
whom.
Before a druggist can obtain a permit
to sell liquor he Is required to file the
proper application in either the district
or superior court at least ten days before
the following term of court and also must
publish for three consecutive weeks in a
newspaper published In the city notice Of
his intention to make such application. The
application then comes before the Judge Of
the court and il the requirements Of the
law have been complied with and no objec-
tions are filed the permit is issued.
Records of the district court at Avoca
show that all druggists in the east end of
the county who SELF liquor have compiled
with the law and obtained the necessary
permits, but a careful Investigation OF the
records of the courts in Council Bluffs show
that with the exception Of Mayor Morgan,
who secured his permit shortly after being
elected chief executive of the city. this
law has not been observed.
With the exception of a government
license. druggists are not required to pay
any license to the municipality for selling
liquor.

Giles II is the general opinion that the tex
tile council at Lowell will vote tonight to
declare a general strike in the seven big

This action lie believed certain because OF
the failure Of the conference yesterday be-
tween the mill agents and their operatives

the employees for a 10 per cent increase.
The trouble at lowell II Is believed will
be more than a local issue and the officials
Of mills in northern New England, outside
Of Lowell, and the 10000 or more operatives
employed, are intensely interested In the
outcome Of the controversy at that place.
TIL interests which control the Lowell
mills largely control the mills Of Manches-
ter, Dover, Nashau, Lawrence and else
where.
The president Of one Lowell corporation
is the leading factor in New Hampshire
mills. employing a total OF nearly 5000
hands.
According to the statistics OF a public
official who has been investigating affairs
in Lowell, the total number of operatives
who would be directly affected by a strike
is about $4,000, about 5000 Of whom are
