This act was prepared by Represen-

This act was prepared by Represen-
tative z. /. c. Bealer of Cedar Rap
ids. who was instrumental in securing
the services OF Colonel Clarke for the
Grand Army to present the soldiers
side of the case to the supreme court.
1t is the contention of the old sol
diers that the state had a right to
fix the qualifications for public en-
ployees: to fix service in the civil
war as one of the qualifications is as
legal as to fix stenography or any
other mark of ability or fitness for a
place. and as long as the law does
nit discriminate among those having
the qualifications listed by the law,
teh law must be valid.
For instance, the Legislature last
winter proposed a law requiring COM
mittee clerks to be stenographerS, but
it failed. Under the theory of those
who attack the soldiers preference
law, such an act would have been in
valid because it prevented anyone but
stenographers from holding the posi-
tons of committee clerks.

MADE HOST TAKE ICY BATH.
Logger Goes to Asylum Because He
Forced Friend to Swim.

HAMILTON, Jan. 2.-Just because
William Stuart, logger, with large
knife and an ak as persuacer., made
his host get out of bed at midnight
and take a twO-nour bath in a pool of
icy water, he has been committed to
the insane asylum.
No suspicious were entertained of
Stuart's sanity until a few days ago,
when he commenced acting in an
erratic manner. This at first was snp.
posed to be merely the result OF his
Christmas celebration, as he had been
imbibing more or less during the holt
days. His friends induced him to re-
main out of town at a cabin occupied
by Joe Goocher, which stands on the
margin of large pool of water
Stuart about midnight awoke and
attacked his host with butcher
knife and AK, threatening him with
instant death if he did not get up and
take bath in the pool. Poor old Joe,
finding it useless to demonstrate, COM
piled and plunged into the ice-cold
water, where he was held for two
hours. Laurence Miller. the town con-
stable, who had been summoned by
some nearby residents, finally arrived
on the scene and persuaded the crazy
good bath.
Since Stuart has been committed it
has been learned that he was patient
in an asylum in Pennsylvania for sew
eral years.

.ENJoINED BY SUPREME COURT.
Makes important Ruling in Sullivan
Estate Case.

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. BY a
writ of prohibition issued Monday by
the supreme court Judge Bell, of the
superior court of this county, is pro-
John Sullivan estate. This order is
returnable January Is Of next year. or
four days after Judge Bell retires
from Office, which means that he will
not sit any longer in matters affecting
the Sullivan estate.
At the time that the order was Sc
cured from the supreme court Judge
Bell was engaged in hearing an ap-
plication on the part of Administra-
tor O'Brien and his attorney, J. J..
McCafferty. for an allowance for SER
vices rendered from January 2, 1903,
made to Judge Bell fixing the COM
pensation on the ground that he was
biased and prejudiced and that a re-
cent decision of the supreme court,
which reversed a former ruling of his.
made him ineligible. This objection
was made by Attorney Howe, repre-
senting Edward Corcoran, one of the
principal claimants to the estate.
While the examination was in prog
ress Administrator O'Brien was at
tackled with vertigo. This put an end
to the proceedings for the day and an
adjournment was taken until 10 O'Clock
yesterday morning for further hear
ing. This was prevented by the rul-
ing Of the supreme court.

PROBING THE DODGE CASE
Rodge at Liberty, but He Has
Been Watched Closely.


NEW YORK. Jan. 2.-While Dis
trict Attorney Jerome and James w.
Osborne counsel for Charles F. Dodge
say that Dodge is no longer pris-
oner. Dodge is watched carefully.
Dodge seems to be faring as Well
here as in Texas, where he was sup
piled with unlimited cash.
Dodge, while 'he has told all he
knows about the conspiracy which, it
is expected, will result in the indict-
ment of some prominent men, occu-
pies the position of a self-confessed
perjurer, and every statement he
makes has to be followed out, verified
and corrobOrated.
1t has been learned that Mr.. Jerome
took the case before the Bar assoc1a-
ton by calling attention to several
bits of what he thought queer practice
on the part of certain prominent law
yers. Nothing was done. and as the
case now stands the Bar association
has no knowledge that any of its
members have been guilty of sharp
practice in the Dodge Morse divorce
suits.
That it is the intention of District
Attorney Jerome to bring the matter
| before the grand jury is conceded.
The case, however, is so involved that
weeks may elapse before any indict-
ments can issue, and the case may
go over to the January grand jury.
The exact position of Charles w
Morse in the entire scandal mas not
been fully explained. He is in Europe

PARDON HEARING ENDED.
Governor Mcbride Declines to Permit
New Applications.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 2.-Governor Nc
Bride has announced that he will not
hear any new applications for pardons
during the remainder Of his term OF
office.
The further consideration of the ap-
plication of Henry Craemer has been
postponed, at the request of Craemer's
attorneys, who claim to have unearth-
ed new evidence in Alaska. The ap-
plication will not come up again under
Governor McBrides administration.
Governor Mcbride still has under
consideration the application for the
pardon of Paul Underwood, who was
accused and convicted of killing his
infant child and throwing the body
on the Seattle tidehats.

OLD SOLDIERS FILE APPEAL.
Suprece Court to Decide Validity o
Preference.

DES MONIES, Iowa, Jan. 2.-Col-
anel Charles A. Clarke Of Cedar
Rapids has been commissioned by the
Grand Army, department of Iowa, to
plead the soldiers preference law be-
fore the Iowa supreme court.
1t is expected that a brilliant series
of speeches will be made on the sub
ject of validity of the act. A judge
at Marshalltown held it unconstitu-
tional because it favored class.
The abstract in the case fled in the
supreme court by Warren Walker for
C. H. Shaw, the old soldier who is
the plaintiff in the proceeding. seeking
to compel the council Of Marshalltown
to obey the law.

Spokane Wins Suit Against Con

tractor on Streets.
OLYMPIA, Jan. 2.-The state eight
hour law IS constitutional, according
to a decision handed down by the
state supreme court Saturday. The
decision settles vexed question be-
tween the city of Spokane and street
improvement contractors over whether
the city has the right to require the
contractors to limit the hours of men
employed by them to eight hours a
day.
The opinion is in a case arising in
Spokane county, where James C,
Broad was charged with violating an
eight-hour ordinance adopted by the
city in January, 1902. Broad applied
for a writ of habeas corpus in the
lower court, which was denied, and
he was remanied back to the custody
of the authorities. He appealed to
the supreme court, alleging that the
ordinance is antagonistic to the four
teenth amendment to the constitution
of the United States, and to the state
constitution The ordinance in ques-
ton is based on the state eight hour
law.

Rev. LOOMS Spoke.

The theme of the sermon of Rev.
Looms was For Such a Time as
This" and he took his text from
Isiah So: His line of thought was:
I'VE are entering upon a new era in
a religious sense. This means that
there are two features which must
characterize Christian effort.
First-There must be strength in all
our efforts-such as materials or
churches Strength inspires the con-
fidence of the world in the church
Our churches are not for exhibition
but for work. Greater effort in the
line of Bible instruction in the funda-
mental doctrines is also needed that
the church life may be stronger.
Second-Another quality is beauty
or attractiveness. The outward forms,
and methods by which men are made
to think of religious matters must be
oughly spiritual. Hearts are touched
by hear service not hollow service.
Sentiment without sacrifice has lost
it's attractive power. The church to-
day has a tremendous call to meet the
demands of this time. 1t has sleep
ing world to arouse The men of bus
mess, the young people. The instruct
ors in our schools both state and de-
nominational must be men with Gods
church must furnish these men. Per-
sonal conservation is demanded of

At the evening service the church
