MUST HOLD SPECIAL SESSION.
Judge McHenry Raises Important Point
In Connection With New Law.

Des Moines, Nov. 12.-Passage of
the holding of the biennial election bill
in Iowa may necessitate a special SEES
sion Of the legislature within the next
year to make arrangements for the pro-
visions of juries for the courts.
According to the present law, the
judges of elections return to the jury
commission, composed of the county
clerk, auditor and recorder, names of
men to serve as jurors during court.
The law provides these are for the en-
suing year. Now that the biennial bill
has passed, there will be no election
next year and consequently no names
can be supplied for jury service.
Judge VIM. H. McHenry Of the dis
trict court, stated In an interview that
there will be no other remedy but the
holding of a special session BY the
nature of the law, he says, the same
names cannot be used for second
year. The com mission he claims is but
clerical body and has no right to use
its own discretion in selecting names
from poll books. A jury can be picked
by the sheriff at random from the
streets only by consent of both parties
to the action, so litigation might be
indefinitely delayed should this plan
be relied upon.
The courts are looked upon as the
greatest safeguard to the protection Of
life, property and personal rights. The
jury system cannot be corrupted in any
manner and according to the judges OF
the local courts there is but one relief
for the strange situation into which
the state has been thrown and that is
a special session of the legislature.

the west side of Alba's public square,
destroying nearly 100000 worth OF
property. With commendable zeal and
energy, the owners of the buildings
Immediately took steps toward the
erection of new structures to take the
place of those destroyed and today it
would be difficult to find finer or more
commodious business blocks than the
four recently completed ones on the
west side of the square. The Love
Wilkin and State, bank blocks together
with the /. o. O. F. temple make an ap-

are the residences of Mrs. Schrader
now almost completed and the lumber

brought much evil to the city, has
ultimately wrought good.
