BURTON CASE WORRIES SENATORS.

In considerable embarrassment for the upper
house.
1t appears that Mr. Burton's attorneys maxi

St Louis court had no Jurisdiction; second. that
the evidence presented was insufficient to convict
II is explained that under the English common
law crime begun in shire and completed in
another was without the jurisdiction of any court.
To remedy this defect the English Parliament
passed a law making it possible to prosecute in
either shire Congress also passed statute max
ing such a crime subject trial in either county
and subsequently amended the statute by sub
stituting the words judicial district for county
The first contention OF Senator Burtons attor-
neys is that the crime OF which he stands con-
yieted was begun in the District OF Columbia and
completed In the judicial district OF which ST. Louis
is a part; that the District Of Columbia is not in
any judicial district, and that. therefore the ST.
Louis court lacked Jurisdiction
Should the Supreme Court seems entirely pos
nible decide that the st. Louis court lacked uris-
diction, II would not II It follows it's usual custom

insufficient. Mr.. Burton would go free a tech

A Successful UnyeiIin6.

The unveiling of Thomas Woods
monument Sunday afternoon was
successful in every respect. Prompt.
ly at the appointed hour the assem-.
bled members of the Woodmen of the
World and their auxiliary, the Wood
men Circle, marched from their hall
to the conveyances in waiting to take
them to the cemetery, the procession
being formed and the exercises in
charge by Sow. John McHugh.
Arriving at the cemetery wedge
was formed about the monument
which was draped with large flag,
the grave being beautifully decorated
with evergreen and flowers with a
large w. o. W. in white flowers in
the center.
The beautiful and impressive un-
yelling and dedicatory exercises were
carried out to the letter, while the
addresses of Rev. @. A. Marshall, a
member of the order, and of Rev. g.
d Schleh, of Omaha, were calculated
to impress more deeply upon the
hearts of those present the meaning
of true fraternity, and the. benevolent
features that has made this order a
young giant among fraternals-the
the only order whose proud boast it
is that not one of its members-how-
ever poor or humble, rests in an un-
marked and forgotten grave. The
principal address was by Rev. Schleh,
who is always welcome visitor in
Cresco, and who always brings mes
sage worthy of delivery.
Visiting Sovereigns gave the Camp
and its officers high credit for its at
tendance and conduct of the cere-
monies, declaring it to be one of the
most complete unveiling ceremonies
ever had in the state of Iowa.
