well as subsistence officers. They do

ga that $25 would furnish prizes for

Town Marshal Arrested.

Maquoketa, July psf. j. Lancaster,
city marshal, was arrested yesterday
by Constable Jamison on complaint of
Charles Martin, the charge being as
sault and battery. Martin and the
marshal had an alteration Friday af-
ternoon, and Martin claims that the
latter lost his temper, and in addition
to using language that was more forci-
bic than polite, slapped Martin in the
face. Martin, however, was too wise
to hit back but invited the marshal to
lay off his star and accompany him
outside the city limits. This Lancaster
refused to do. so Martin had him arr
rested. He was brought before Jus
tice Fletcher. where he pleaded guilty
and was assessed 81 and costs. He
paid the 81. but refused to stand for
the costs, and the tax payers will have
to settle that part of the wrangle.
Mayor Gregory stated that he will
neither dismiss nor suspend the erring
official holding that he was unduly
provoked by Martin.

MONKS BIG APPLE CROP.
Visitors Allowed to Help Themselves
at Monastery, Dubuque.

special 10 1meS-Repuhllcan.
Dubuque, July 2S.-Bushels of APP
pies are given away daily at the New
Melleray monastery. The monks or
chards are weighed down with their
burden of early spring fruit and visit
ors are permitted to eat all they de-
sire. The ground is fairly covered
with ripe apples and every day many
basketfuls are carried away. The
monks were busy Thursday helping
neighbors to gather the fruit that
had fallen during the day. In other
orchards hogs were permitted to feed
beneath the trees.
The apples are of the early summer
variety, and are very tempting. There
is IA big crop at the monastery and the
monks are generous to fault Visitors
remember this and do not abuse their
hospitality.
The monks make cider of the apples,
but during the summer they give away
many barrels of fruit. Picnic parties
are permitted to enter the orchards
and help themselves. They are only
molested when they begin to destroy
property.
The monastery farm of more than
1000 acres is In splendid condition.
There is big crop and the brothers
will be enriched because of their toll
which extends from early morn till
late at night.
Twenty-Five additional men are en-
ployed during the summer to assist in
cultivation. These men live in the

Chance That Legislature I'm

Preference Law
Many Who Hold Jobs Are lnqurins
Into the Status of the Law Since
Passage of Certain Joint Resolu-

News.
Special to Republican.

Special to Republican.
Des Moines, July 2s.-Has the leg
islature unwittingly repealed the old
soldiers preference law?
ing the attorneys Of Iowa and Is CIV
ing some concern to the numerous
old soldier janitors, clerks and other
employees about the state house. The
old soldiers preference law provides
that an old soldier can be discharged
only after a hearing on written
charges. The soldiers law was en-
acted at the session of the Thirtieth
General Assembly and the law is con-
sidered as giving a life lease on a
position in the state employe to any
old soldier holding a position for it is
almost impossible to prove such
charges as incapacity or negligence Of
duty.
The question now is whether or not
the legislature did not repeal this in
the enactment of Joint resolution No.
provides for the compensation of
the various janitors and clerks about
the state house and the last three
lines read: Any head of a depart
ment may at any time discharge any
clerk or other employee in such de-
partment for negligence Of duty. in
subordination or incapacity."
Joint Resolution No. S.
1t is recognized that law passed
subsequent to another law and IN
conflict with 1t repeats the first law.
A joint resolution has the same force
and effect OF law and joint resolu-
ton No. seems to provide that an
employee can be discharged at any
time without hearing as required by
the old soldiers preference law. II
this is the case the janitor's and
clerks positions at the state house are
not as secure as heretofore imagined.
Since the enactment Of the old SOL
diers' preference law some heads Of
departments have complained that
employees believing that they had life
leases on their positions have become
less anxious to do their work thor
oughly. This section of Joint Resolu-
ton No. 5 may change the situation.
StHl aHolHeT seClioH VI eHs JoiHl
resolution is in conflict with the pref
erence law in giving heads Of depart
ments full authority to transfer a
clerk or janitor or other employe to
any other department. Employees who
fail to do their work well may thus
be given less desirable work, a thing
employees have tho impossible under
the old soldier law.

OLD MAN FORSAKEN
Relatives of Daniel MCGOWAN, Who
Has Been Inmate of st. Bernard's
Hospital for Insane at Council Bluffs
Three Years, Decline to Care for
Him

Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, July 2S.-Daniel Nc
Gowan, for three years an inmate of
st. Demands hospital had himself
brought before the commissioners of
insanity, for the purpose of ascertain
ing If some other disposition might not
be made Of him. He had been always
accustomed to the open air and liber-
ty, he said, and found the confinement
very undesirable 1t was decided that
he should be sent on to San Francisco,
where he has a sister who, however,
has steadfastly declined to carry on
any correspondence with the county
officials or listen to any proposals they
have made looking toward her being
obliged to take charge OF him.
1t was June %, 1902, when Nc
Gowan first reached Council Bluffs, a
passenger on the Rock Island road en-
route from his home in Dublin, where
his wife and other relatives are said to
reside, to San Francisco. He was aged
and not used to travel In Philadelphia
he lost his luggage, and this SO preyed
upon his mind that by the time he
reached the Uuion Pacific depot in this
city he was plainly unbalanced in
mind. He was taken from the train
and after an examination by the com
missioners was sent to St Bernard's
hospital until his relatives could be
communicated with.
The latter declined to have anything
to do with the old man, and for lack
Of any thing better to do with him he
was allowed to remain in the hospital.
All signs of mental weakness have left
him now, and almost his sole thought
seems to be of his desire to be released.
He will remain at st. Demands for a
few days until arrangements can be
made with the railway company for
the renewal of his ticket to San Fran
cisco. 1t is the belief of the authorities
that his Dublin relatives sent him
away for the mere purpose of getting
rid of him, caring very little what be-
came of him after he was out of their
hands.
