WAVE Of MORALITY
OVER IDA COUNTY
Section Of Iowa Where
Prison Is Empty.
ONE IN TWENTY MONTHS
This Saved Jail From Being Rented
Out for Some Purpose Of
Revenue.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Nov. 15.-One
prisoner in twenty months is the record
Of the county Jail of Ida county, this
State. 1t is tho best showing made by
any of the ninety-nine counties of Iowa.
and is being duiy boasted about by cit
liens of Ida county, as showing the high
moral standard of its people. William
Mohler. in fer Petty larceny, is the man
TO break the long period of inaction
about the lookup.
The other day when Sheriff Mcleod
made his biennial report and showed
that in the two years the county had
been called upon to pay but $3.50 for
boarding prisoners, * was suggested by
the board of supervisors that the jail
be rented for some purpose, store house
o. meeting room.
II a Jail was not to have any prison-
ers, then it ought to be turned into a
revenue getter for the county. But
Mohler swiped a farmers laprobe just
in time to head off the plan of renting
the jail. Mohler IT is pointed out, is not
resident of the county. but came in
there recently 70 husk corn.
1t has been a simple task, being
sheriff, reports Sherin Mcleod. In the
four years of his tenure he has been
called upon to make but twenty-seven
arrests. Ida county is one OF the richest,
agr1cul turaily, in Iowa, and its financial
condition Is first class.

BEAL LAW CASES.
Higher Courts Without Authority
To Review Evidence.

The decision of the Circuit Court
last week in the Beal law cases which
had been appealed was distinct VIC
tory for the Anti-Saloon League.
There we're ten of these cases, all
practically the same, though four
had been appealed by the State and
six by the defendants. Judge Wal
ters delivered the opinion of the
court, holding that under the law they
had no right to hear the evidence that
had been introduced in the trial.
That the verdict was contrary to the
weight of the evidence was almost
the sole ground for appeal and of this
evidence the trial court was sole
Judge. Only on error could appeals
be taken and the court refused to al
low the evidence read.
In the four cases appealed by the
State it was held that the State had
no right to prosecute error. This
leaves the decision of Judge Newly
in these cases final, though he had re-
versed all of them on the ground that
they were contrary to the weight OF
evidence. Yet, according to the Cir.
cult Court he had no right whatever ia
pass on the evidence. While the four
defendants 60 free, the decision leaves
no hope of successful appeal to parties
convicted of violating the Beal law
In the future.
Requests of six oon.keepers fol
suspension of sentence until they
could prosecute error In the Supreme
Court was refused, as the court in
formed them 1t was powerless to de
this. 1t is reported that the saloon
lists have made arrangements to have
execution delayed thirty days and II
the meantime they expect to reacf
the Supreme Court.

elated over a change in plans slated
last week by the B. & o. S.-W. Rail-
road. The road from Midland to Blan-

ter made Observation-Disclosures, or
junction point. In 1888, when fhe
Midland was built, Blanchester offered
o. 900 to the railroad company to have
the road continued to that point, but
the offer was refused. The change
will be of great benefit to Blanchester
but a decided detriment to Midland,
taking away number of her citizens
and depriving her of satisfactory train
service. Work on the double track
will begin In May.
