CAN'T PROSECUTE THEM.
Judge J. II. Richard Reverses State
Board of Health

podT0 OF rtSdIIns
Webster City, Feb. 29.-Judge J.
H. Richard of this city at Clarion re-
Gently held squarely against the con-
tention of the state BOARD Of hea
that drugless nealerS came within the
provisions Of the laws of Iowa, rela-
tive to the practice Of medicine. 1t
is now up to the state board to do
one of two things, take an appeal to
the supreme court, thus getting a de-
Cision in the court of last resort, or
to cease prosecuting magnetic healers,
spectacle vendors and numerous
others.
The case in which the decision was
rendered by Judge Richard was the
State of Iowa VS.. DR.. J. Whom of Ed
murds, who was indicted by the gr>
jury of that county for practicing med
icine by dieting his patients, causing
them to take certain exercise and
causing them to wear certain glasses
prescribed by him. The case was
prosecuted by the state board OF
health. DR.. Sans a member of the.
board residing at Clarion, was the
prosecuting witness and DR.. Kennedy,
the secretarv OF the board, was also
present at the trial.
The defendants counsel cited q de-
murrer to the indictment as contain
ing no assignments. The ruling OF
the court stated sQuarely that those
who profess or undertake to treat or
cure diseases without the use of drugs
are not liable to indictment under the
chapter Of the Iowa code relating to
the practice of medicine. The decis-
ion affects several thousands of peo-
pie In Iowa and the supreme court
will doubtless be given a chance to
rule on this matter.

The Statesman's Year Book for
1903 gives the following details Of the
Korean army: @
The standing army now consists
Of about 1900 men with European
methods. In 1896 it was taken in
hand by a Russian colonel with three
commissioned and ten non-commis-
stoned officers, who retired, however
in 1898. A royal bodyguard of 1000
men was formed and has been well
drilled, and periodically a draft of
wen trained men is transferred
from 1t to the other regiments of the
standing army" ..-..
The port OF WIFI was opened to for

London, Feb. 27.-Oficial Russian
and other dispatches show that there
has been a succession of attacks or
demonstrations by the Japanese at
Port Arthur, probably undertaken
with the intention of covering or pre-
pairing for Japanese landing else
where, and possibly with the hope of
tnflicting further damage on the Rus
sian warships and increasing the de.
moralization of the Russian forces. 1t
would seem apparent that little dam
age was inflicted on either side, al.
though the dispatches leave the ex.
act situation at Port Arthur in some
obscurity.
The reported landing of Japanese
at Possieetet bay, near Vladivostock,
has not yet been confirmed. Their
movement, however. is considered not
improbable. -..,.

boast that they have mined the break

there in order to prevent the Japan.

that the Russians have only supplies
for five months at Port Arthur, and
says a large number of Japanese
transports have returned to Nagasali
where they are busily engaged in EN-.

forty transports have left Nagasaki

Paris. Feb. 25.-Rumors of negotia-

Giles are declared to be untrue. The

would entail, can hardly be a matter

relations between the two countries
are as satisfactory as before the out
break of the war. On this channel
it unquestionably is the general wish
that the good understanding continue,

Practically the Entire Building Was
Destroyed.
Madison, Feb. 29.--Wisconson's pic
turesque capitol, the pride Of the
state for decades, Is in ruins. All that
remains intact from the devastating
flames which started early Saturday
morning, Is the extreme north extern
sion, the contents of which are prac.
tically ruined by water. i
Jagged walls, from which every yes.
tige of inflammable material has been
eaten by the fury of the flames. are all
that mark what was the center OF
Wisconsin's executive headquarters.
The loss will be about 100000, en-
elusive of the relics. There was little
or no insurance, the state having
changed to . system Of state insur-
ance.
Governor LaFollette issued O state,
ment tonight as follows: ;..
II have summoned the state officers
to meet tomorrow to consider the dis
aster that has befallen us and make
some provision for carrying on the
states business. From general ap
pearance should say that the north
and south extensions OF the building
which were built in the early eight
les are not damaged much and can
be replaced easily. The wings from
the main portion of the building to
the extensions at the extreme ends
are much damaged, but only part Of
one of the walls probably will have
TO be rebuilt.
"The reason why the old portion OF
the building burned so much more
rapidly than the newer part was be
cause it was more inflammable ma
terial than the newer portions.
Il am unable to venture an esth
mate of the total loss on the building
or the contents"

Russian Victory Is Laughed at BY
Japanese.

Paris, Feb. 26.-Additional details
of the Japanese attempt to close the
entrance of the harbor of Port Arthur
have been received from most author
tive quarters. These say the Jap
anese sent five or six old transport
hulks, conveyed by torpedo boats, to
Port Arthur. with the evident purpose
of sinking the hulks at the entrance
of the harbor. The battleship Retvi-
Fan discovered their approach and her
fire on them was strongly seconded
by that of the shore batteries north OF
Port Arthur. The report adds that
two Japanese ships were damaged
and lie in Tager bay, that along the
shore another Japanese ship was burn
ed, and that fourth lies wrecked on
the shore outside lager bay. 1t is be-
lieved that these wrecks are not war
ships but hulks, designed to be sunk
at the entrance of the harbor. The
wrecks are said to be at considerable
distances from the harbor entrance.

FEELING AGAINST AMERICA.

Russian Feeling Against Americans
Is Increasing.
st. Petersburg. Feb. 29.-The repore
that the United States had assented
to the extension of the Pacific cable
to Japan. still further aggravated the,
popular belief that the United States
is siding with Japan against Russia.
The few Americans in st. Petersburg
have all remarked upon the changed
demeanor of their Russian friends.
Formerly they were treated with
the greatest cordially, but now the
Russians greet them with the cues.
ton: is America our secret enemy.
and will we have to fight her also be-
fore the war comes to an end?"
How deeply the Russians are wound
ed by the belief, destined, unless
checked, soon to become a conviction.
that America has spurned her old
friend and is now playing hostile
role, Is shown by this severance of
personalities, of which striking In.
stance occurred this week in promi-
nent drawing room, when the most in.
innate Russian friend of an American
lady declined her proffered hand.
Upon the lady's exclamation Of aston.
ishment, her friend burst into tears
and said she felt aggrieved at all
Americans since the reported action OF
the commander of the United States
gunboat Vicksburg at Chemulpo.
The recently reported cancellation
OF American contracts indicates how
the resentment of Americas supposed
hostility has invaded business affairs.
Popular feeling is, of course, to be
largely attributed to certain OF the
Russian newspapers, which have sud.
denly turned their batteries from
Great Britain to- the United States,
and have seized every rumor to place
the worst possible Interpretation upon
1t.
