The Democratic convention to-
morrow Will proceed to denounce
the new tax laws. Notwithstanding
one of the best posted Democratic
cliquesters in the county admits
that the tax laws will materially
help the Republican party and the
people. but that will not prevent the
CLIQUE from denouncing the tax
laws in the hope of deceiving the
voters into voting against their best
interests. The Democrats NAV be
expected tomorrow to let the clique
make fools of them, at least that IS
what the clique expects to do, but If
the delegates are men of their own
minds and believe in the best inter
ests of the people, they will stand up
in solid phalanx tomorrow and rebel
against the clique and its deception,
and openly come out on the side OF
the people. But, they can not be on
the side of the people unless they
praise the new tax system and APP
prove it in resolution and acts.

may yet remain nation separate
and distinct from the United States

elect, but they must comply with
conditions that will bring about law
and order among themselves and re-

selection in majority vote given:
The Provisional government
hereby established will be maintain

Government of the republic should
b devoIved."
The promise is. given by Taft Of
continued independence, condition
ed on their willingness to preserve
good order and obedience to the
government they select. The act
of the United States is not selfish
one. nor is it designed TO bring
about the conquest and annexation
of the island. 1t is merely an act
.by= Cuba's best friend for Cuba's
best good.

she wants TO preserve her. independ-

without giving any time to the Re-
publicans of the county. That set
will be busy this year not to go into

intact and it is certain it will ac-

time and again that the Democratic

cratic party in Harrison county, but
since It has found Democratic of

For denying the right of appeal to
T. w. Castor, defeated litigant in his
court, Justice John W. Miller, of Nicola,
will be put to the necessity of defend
ing a suit brought by the former to col
lect $1,000 damages. The original no.
tice claiming that amount was filed in
district court to be served by the sher-
ifs office. An order was ISSUED by
Judge Wheeler at the same time, on
Casters application, directing the JUS
tice to allow an appeal from his Judg-
ment of S24.99 against Castor and In
favor of Clyde Granger.
The basis of the damage suit is the
trouble and expense which Castor says
has been caused him by the arbitrary
action of the Nicola magistrate. He
does not claim that he has been thus
injured to the extent of $1,000, but
wants the court to assess exemplary
as well az actual damages.

WIFE AFFIRMS STORY
Climax of Whistler Murder Trial at
Bloomfield, Reached Saturday, When
Defendant Took the stand-claims
self-Defense.

Special to Times-Republican.
Ottumwa, April 2.-In the murder
trial at Bloomfield. the climax came
Saturday. when Claude Whistler, de-
PENDANT, took the stand in his own be-
half, claiming self-defense as his eX-
cuse. An immense crowd of spectators
filled the court room to hear the prisi-
!oner tell of the tragedy that took place
at his home on the night of April l.,
1905. in which Frank Ogden met his
death. The story was frank one, and
seemed to create very favoraple mi
preston on those who heard him.
The defendants story of the AFFAIR
was substantially as follows:
Whistler was returning home with a
load of hay on the afternoon of April
/, 1905, when he met Ogden,
who was drunk Ogden climbed on
the wagon and went home with Whis-
Ter. After Whistler had done some
chores about the yard he and Ogden
went to the house. Ogden was very
drunk, so the witness said, and when
at the supepr5 table used profane lang
uage and made insulting remarks IN
the presence of Mrs. Whistler. Whistler
said that Ogden went into the bed
room of Mrs. Whistler and that a fis'ht
ensued. Whistler claimed that Ogden
knocked him down twice and that he
shot while down. He said that he did
not take aim, but shot at random with
a view of protecting himself, as he
thought Ogden was going to kill him.
Mrs Whistler, wife of the defendant,
was on the stand also. Her story was
practically the same as that of her
husband

Val Blatz Brewing Company
Sued for 100000 In Court
at Emmetsburg
5 QUESTION OF PURCHASE
J. G. Mcnamara, Plaintiff, Claims He
Purchased In Emmetsburs the Beer
He Sold at Wholesale, While Com
pany Holds That Sale Was Made In
MiIwaukee-Details of Case.
Special to Times-Republican

Special to Times Republican
Emmetsburg, April 2.-District court
convened here today, Judge Quarton
presiding. The 100000 case of j. G.
Mcnamara VS.. the Val Blatz Brewing
Company is UP for trial. C. E. Cohoon,
of this city. and George E. Clark, of
Algona. represent Mr.. Mcnamara. B.
E. Kelly. E. A. Morling and Thomas
O'Connor are the local attorneys for the
brewing company. The Val Blatz peo-
pie have also secured the ablest attor-
neys in Milwaukee and two from Chi
cago to assist in the case.
Is Attracting Attention.
The suit is attracting attention thru
out the state on account of the issues
involved. The old prohibitory law
made the sale of intoxicating liquors in
Iowa illegal. When the present mulct
law was enacted this feature of the old
Jaw was not repealed. In the case of
Hamilton, of Cedar Rapids, VS.. the
Schlitz Brewing Company, recently de-
CluGu ny lile IOWA supreme court, luG
company lost, the court holding that
the Schlitz people must return to the
purchaser the amount paid by him for
liquors bought in the state. The case
has since been taken to the United
States courts, and has, we understand
been sent back to the lower court for
another hearing.
Question Of Purchase.
The points involved in this case and
the Mcnamara Blatz suit are quite
similar. The question arises, where did
Mr.. Mcnamara purchase the beer he
sold at wholesale, in Emmetsburg or in
milwaukee,? He claims of course, that
he bought it in Emmetsburg, while the
company holds that the sale was made
in Milwaukee. Should the court decide
that the various shipments, usually In
car load lots, were bought in Emmets-
burg, Mr.. Mcnamara will, under the
decision in the Cedar Rapids case, have
a fair chance of recovering the 100000
paid from time to time for number of
years for the beer he purchased and
sold. The Val Blatz people realize that
they have great deal at stake, as they
nave secured the best legal talent in
Emmetsburg and in Chicago and Mil
waukee to fight their battle. 1t is also
likely that other able attorneys will be
called in to assist Messrs. Cohoon and
