to carry into effec :. provisions or
the law At the Il ,gislature when
the law was passe L ,e advocaes Of
the measure were ling to accept
anything to get 1t statute books.
1t seems that legislatures are SLOW to
pass acts that require money to enforce
them. In numerous cases such acts
have been passed with the pro vision
that they shall not cost the state any
thing. 1t is usually expected tn: t the
succeeding legislature will see the need
of the law and it's worthlessness with
out an appropriation to carry 1T along
and will make an appropriation for
it. The deficiency in the present law
is that it requires the sheriffs to pro-
vide places for the temporary detention
of juveniles, but makes no provision
whatever as to who shall pay for the
said temporary quarters.
The death of John M. Rockwell in
this city yesterday afternoon at o.

most prominent characters of north

In his honor Rockwell City was nam

sometime in this city on West Grand
avenue.
The first movement of corn for ex-

In sln opinion to Game Warden Lin
coin Attorney General Mullan holds
that the warden has authority t'y law
to enter express cars either at termi-
nails or in transit and seize and exam
Inc any boxes or packages that he
may think contains birds contr ary to
law. 1t is further held that such seiz-
ures can be made without warrant.
The game warden asked a series of
questions touching these points, and
the attorney general in his answer
states that the railroads are common
carriers and hold possession of freight
subject to the conditions of the law.
1t is held that the authority IF the
warden to seize and examine without
warrant can be exercised at terminal
points as we'll as elsewhere.

The eloquent Rabbi Joseph Silver

comparison between two historical per-
sonages:
''Sir Walter Raleigh made a voyage

other voyage and discovered Virginia;

that tobacco In his latter days of

marked to his servant. BE Of good

CONVERT EMPRESS
Minister coneer and Wife Said to Have
Won the Dowaser Empress of China
to the Christian Science Faith.

Sioux City, Jan. 5.-That the dow
ager empress of China has been con-
verted to Christianity and Christian
Science thru the influence of Minister
e. III. Conger and wife, who have been
almost eight years in Pekin, is the
claim made by relatives of the min
lister who recently have received letters
from him direct from Pekin.
1t is also declared that the empress
has given substantial promises that
her conversion shall be announced in
the most public way before Minister
Conger leaves Pekin.
This public. announcement, which is
to be made soon, is to be followed by
steps by the empress that will inaug-
urate a great era Of reform thruout
the Chinese empire.
Christian Science Claims Victory.
The Christian Science friends of the
Congers in Iowa claim it all as great
victory for Christian Science.
1t will be recalled that when the for
eign legations We're besieged in Picking
during the boxer uprising four years
ago. Christian Scientists all over the
world organized conspiracy of prayer
for the colony. the Congers being ar
dent Scientists.
When the legations at last were res
cued the claim was boldly advanced
that it was in answer to the prapers
of the Scientists, or rather the result
of an overpowering rush of thought
waves in their direction. which had
pushed off the unthinking barbarians.
Mrs. Conger's Many Meetings.
Since then the Congers have be-
come friendly with the dowager, Mrs.
Conger often having been given private
audiences with the old woman. AS a
result it is said the dowager empress
has been converted to Christianity, and
she has promised great things.
Minister Conger believes that as the
result of her casting her tremendous
power and ability into the scale on the
side of progressiveness, China will op-
en- it's gates to western people, ideas.
and institutions, and the empire will
rapidly be ChristiantZed.
In short, there is just dawning the
day of the rehabilitation of the en-
pire, which will compare only with the
regeneration of Japan when the ancient
empire was transformed into a thor
oughly modern power.

ST. Petersburg, Jan. 5.-Few incidents
of the war have aroused more bitter
criticism than the blunt announcement
officially issued by the general staff,
that Stoe.ssel will have to come home
and stand court martial for surrender
ing the fortress of Port Arthur.
While this Is an ancient regulation
and quite according to law, it Is bit
terly resented ON all sides that such
an announcement should have been
xratuously rnade in the same bulletin
containing, s;toessel's appeal to the
emperor for "lenient judgment on a
garrison reduced to shadows. who have
done Ill that was possible for human
beings to uphold the honor of Russia
In the face of her enemies"
Novoe vremya, despite the example
made by suspension of Russ yesterday
says:
.tBy all means let US have court mar
fial, and make it, if possible, severe.
The cruel Judge will, perhaps, deal
aeniently with those who have given
their blood and lives for their country.
Perhaps, also, the court will determine
why fortress, known to be threatened
with a blockade, is not supplied with
necessary food and munitions to en-
able them to hold out. Perhaps sucn
q court will bring light to many dark
hidden things and expose the creep
ing. underground enemies of Russia
who are infinitely more dangerous to
the nation than a foe who fights in the

The emperor returned today to

believed that the whole situation WIZ

called upon to telegraph his OPINION
pf the situation at home, which can
