Druggiats Illegally FineJ.

The supreme court has reversed the de-
cision of the Boone county district court,
which was that John p ONeill and B. A.
Baldwin, druggists be fined $500 for hav-
ing liquor in their possession for the pur-
pose of selling the same unlawfully. The
evidence, the court said, showed that
couple of barrels Of wine had been shipped
to them. The drayman at Albion had
taken the liquor and put It in the ware
house owned by the two men and the next
day had taken bill TO the druggists The
latter objected to paying the same and the
liquor was taken back to the railroad COM
pany. After 1t had been turned back to the
company the complaints were filed against
the men and the liquor was seized Under
the circumstances the court holds the pre-
sumption could not be that the men had
bought the liquor to sell unlawfully.

WAR DECLARED
ON THE SENATE
Campaign Begun to Give People the
Power to Choose Members of
the Upper House.

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. S.--A de-
termined campaign to force congress
to call u constitutional convention was
launched by the interstate senatorial
amendment conference. The move
ment for the popular election of Uni
ted States senators now is well under
way, and the fight will be carried on
in every part of the country.
The convention made known its at
tt'lde in Il manner which left no doubt
that the delegates We're convinced the
support of the senate could not be en-
listed The resolutions adopted say
that while, in the opinion of the dele
gates, there is Il grounded demand
for the popular election of senator's,
the senate has refused persistently to
assent to the proposition to submit the
matter to the states 10 pass upon.
Little hope is seen of any change of
heart on the part of the upper branch
OF congress. and the cony ention ac-
cordingly adopted the alternative of
carrying the battle into each state, in
the attempt to induce the required pro.
portion of states to join in call for

SYMPATHY WITH THE WOMAN
Offers of Money for Defense and Her
Meals Free.

Mrs. Bradley was hysterical all day.
She made frequent inquiries as to the
condition of her victim. Her attorneys
say she is on the verge of collapse.
According to the police several west
ern politicians have notified her that
they are willing to furnish money for
her defense. Several local restaurants
telephoned the matron at the house of
detention that they would gladly serve
Mrs. Bradley's meals free of cost. A
representative OF the Salvation Army
also offered assistance.
There is no doubt Of the adulterous
connection of the two. kilograms from
Salt Lake City confirm the woman's
story in that respect. They were both
arrested three years ago for immoral
conduct, on charges filed by Browns
wife, who has since died. She, how
ever, withdrew her charge, although
Mrs. Bradley pleaded guilty. Brown
Is a native Of Kalamazoo, Mich, and
left there for Utah thirty years ago
His late wife was Miss Cameron, Of
Kalamazoo.

remarked and is living in Nevada with
his second wife. While Brown was
fighting for his life at the hospital,

afternoon, lies in very critical condi-

Brown was shot by the woman aft

Perseverance and backbone wins
out every time.
This may be said of Prof. Eek
lund, of the Oelwein Business Uni
yersity. During the past few days
Prof. R. z. Ecklund purchased
from Messrs. Wachtel and Wing the
brick building in the northeast part
of town known as the 'Iowa Nor
NAL College" which for a time has
been occupied by families.
Realizing that his present quar-
ters were not large enough for his
increasing business, Mr.. Ecklund
commenced to look about him for a
large place, dreading the thoughts
of his being compelled to remove to
another place for larger facilities.
He was bordering over the matter
when it was suggested to him that
this building was what he wanted,
as the interior suited in nearly ev-
cry particular to his business, and
after due thought he concluded to
purchase it.
For the past few months Mr.. Eek
lund was cognizant of the fact that
the fame of his school of commercial
training was not confined to Fayette
and adjoining counties as his judi
cious advertising as we'll as the
thoroughness of his educational
principles was winning him fame.
Realizing the things that had been
done also that what can be done
once can be duplicated. With de.
termination to enlarge, also to place
Oelwein before the world as an edu.
cational center as we'll as railroad
town, he made the venture, pur.
chased the building and with this
resolve he has branched out into the
world on a larger and more pre-
tentious scale.
The enrolment Of students at the
o. B. u, this season is phenomenal
The membership has gone beyond
the century mark in numbers and
still there are those who are receiv.
ing literature from his hands with q
view of adding their names to the
roster.
There are many of Mr.. Ecklund's
students holding responsible and
lucrative positions with large bust.
ness houses in Chicago and other
large cities, carrying with them the
fundamental principles of business
life from the o. B. U.
He has also added another course
to his school of learning, which is
known as a Farmers Business
Course" that will enable the farm
er to keep accurate accounts of all
his industries of farm, and thu
prospects are that there will be q
larger attendance during the win.
ter months.
Mr.. Ecklund will proceed at once
to make the necessary improvements
and expects to occupy his new home
by Jan. l, 1907.
The purchase OF this building by
Mr.. Ecklund tells good story fol-
the o. B. u. 1t puts this institu
ton upon a firm and sound basis
It shows it to be stable and success
full. 1t shows further that the Del
vein Business University is a fix
ture.
Mr.. Ecklund may expect greater
success henceforth. Oelwein Dali,
