SHY OF LIQUOR LAWS
Iowa Druggists Will Offer No sugges-
lions for Changes.

EDES MONIES, IOWA-The Iowa druggists In
session here have decided not to discuss liquor
laws or pass any resolutions on the subject.
They admit that the liquor laws of the state
are complicated that no druggist is able
to tell just to what extent he is a violator.
The druggists will pass resolution asking for
pure food law and law prohibiting the use
of cocaine in any nostrum unless statement
of contents is marked on the package or bottle.
Judge William II. McHenry of Des Moines
before the State Bar association yesterday cor
demned the Iowa jury system, and asked the
lawyers to secure the passage of law making
wife desertion penitentiary offense. Judge
McHenry said that juries are made up from
politicians and that the same in every
county sit on juries year in and year out. He
suggested a jury commission to be chosen by
the judges of. the district courts. His plan
is that member of the commission shall
know of his appointment until he is called
into the courtroom to be charged by the judge.
The commissioners would then retire and make
up from the county poolbooks a list from which
the grand and petit jurors would be drawn.
From the time the men were charged by the
judge until their duties had been completed.
Judge McHenry would make it crime for them
to see or talk with any person, and crime for
person to attempt to communicate with them
on any pretext whatever. Judge McHenry be-
lieves that under this system juries would be
bettered as to character, mentally and morally.

ICING CHARGES STAND
Fruit Mems Suit to Recover from
Omaha Road Fails.

DULUTH, M1NN.-Judge sanborn. sitting in
federal court at Superior, directed verdict
yesterday for the defendant in the case Of
Acknowledgment Fruit company Of Duluth
against the Omaha road.
The suit was one whereby the plaintiff sought
to recover $45 for icing charges paid on a
car of peaches shipped from South Haven,
Mich, to Duluth in September, 1903. 1t con-
tended that no mention was made in the rail-
road company's freight tariffs for extra service
other than the regular. freight rate, and that
it should not be obliged to bear the burden OF
any extra expense while caring for the ship
ment route.
In charging the jury Judge sanborn said:
.'The $45 was paid without objection after the
car Of peaches had been delivered, and it was
eighteen months afterward before the action
for the recovery of the money was commenced,
and further, 1t must have been known that the
money would not be retained by the Omaha
road, but would be turned over to the refr fri
orator people. By agreeing to pay the $45 with
such knowledge, the plaintiff acquiesced in the
manner Of doing. business thru the Armour cal
lines, and In view of such acquiescence and
action on Its part and the practical construc'
ton given the act by the railroads and refrig,
orator lines do not think that the plaintiff
should recover from the defendant"

Duluth, MINI, July 14-The number Of steam
shovels employed in stripping Mesabi range mines
at the present time is greater than ever in the
history Of the range. There are not less than
thirty three of them, nearly all of large size
ana great power. 1t is probable that the aver
age work Of these shovels for ten hours is 5000
tons each, and they will employ not far from
seyenty-fve men for every machine. That makes
100000 tons every ten hours. Some of these
,shovels sre worked day and night, the amount
of earth being moved it something enormous.
Rains of the past two weeks have been very
severe at many mines. Most of them have over

but it will still be some time before all can
be active as they would like, or as they were.
These rains sure to have an effect upon

Friday Evening,

provided the new rate were held in
allegiance until the railroads had had an
opportunity to appeal to the courts. If
such appeal means prolonged litigation
and means carrying it thru in the reg
ular order to the supreme court, with
all the delay usually incident thereto,
of course the whole purpose of the adj
ministration will have been defeated
If such appeal means simply a refer
erence to a special court constituted
for the purpose of hearing controversies
of this kind promptly and without APP
peal, the proposition may be agreed to
as compromise.
The Chicago Record Herald has been
raising the question as to whether
during the interval Of appeal the rail
road should not be required to deposit
in escrow the difference between the old
rate and the one named by the COM
mission, this deposit to be disposed OF
according to the decision of the court
as to whether it belongs to the shipper
by reason Of having been charged an
unreasonable rate OF whether it be-
longs to the RAILROAD company, the rate
having been declared just one. The
trouble with this arrangement is that
the money held in trust for such de-
cision and paid back to the shipper
does not remedy the injustice originally
inflicted because the producer gets no
benefit. It simply means that the ship
per is able to buy upon the basis Of the
rate fixed by the railroad company and
to appropriate to himself later on the
amount Of overcharge awarded to him
by the courts. The distribution of this
overcharge goes no further than the
shipper, whereas his proper proportion
of it should revert to the producer.
