TELEGRAMS
ST. CROIX STATION.

London. Nov. 2Sth-The Education act
passed it's second reading in the House of
Commons yesterday by 1923 votes against
I57, the Nationalist being among the
minority.
The Lords have rejected the licensing bill
on its second reading by 272 votes against
81. The Liberals contend that the Lords, IN
defeating the will of the people, are also
usurping jurisdiction over the Revenue BIlI,
but the Conservatives contend that its rel &c
ton is in accordance with popular sentiment,
as a general election would develop, the
Government, however, are indispo8ed for an
immediate test.
A Melbourne Telegram states that in the

Germany has called Turkey attention to
the fact that the Turkish boycott OF Ger
man and Austrian goods endangers inter
national relations. In Paris Austria's asSer-
ton that England influences Turkey to
maintain the boycott and that she will ask
France to intervene causes surprise, Austria

boycott is her weapon against Servla. ana IL
would be absurd to ask for help to compel
Turkey to buy unpopular goods which ether

CHRISTMAS DRAWETH NIGH.

The Christmas Season. draweth nigh
All, yes! And with It JOY and sorrow.
Methinks ] hear some mother sigh
"What can / give my child Tomorrow
The stores will be all decorated
With novelties - attractive TOYS,
But parents will feel broken hearted,
Who have nought to give their boys.
Not only boys, but girls more so,
Think they've been I'M Justly treated.
When to the"bag'on Christmas morn they 80
And iud that ii has been neglected.
But why can't they be happy stil,
As nh Christian chilureu should g?
But even cry and fret they will.
'Cau3 Father G.. didn't treat them good.
Some have lost a friend or relative
Whose memory they can ne'er erase,
And would rather die than live,
For there is none to take that place.
Others may have all that they may need
OF this worlds material wealth,
Yet they arc not huppy-no, indoedl
For their money can't regain lost health.
But oil should hail with JOY this season,
Which reminds us Of that day of days,
For which Ill Christians have a reason
To render their most heartfelt praise.

in a cornfield near Chaplin Sunday
morning with over s26 of the funds of
the Chicago Great Western on his per-

money belonged to the road which ems
ployed him, but says that he did not
steal the same. Williams claims that
he had not left the employ Of the
road when captured and that he had
instructions from the road not to leave
money in the station. Also that he
went to Sheffield to attend a dance
and that he was half crazed by whis-
ky and morphine when he started on
his trip from this city Saturday NOR
ming Another part of his story IS
that he was Influenced by Mayer, the
man who was with him and who told
the story which enabled the authori-
ties to track Williams to the cornfield
in which he was sleeping.

MILLS COUNTY Fight
Trouble Over County Seat Re-

Of Malvern
SUES BOARD AND AUDITOR
Asks That Supervisor Districts as at
Present Established, Be Abolished,
Giving Various Reasons for the De-
sired Change Details of Rivalry
Between Malvern and Glenwood.
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Malvern, Sept. 19.-Some county seat
fights are finally settled. but 1t would
be a. difficult matter to convince the
average Mills county person that such
is the fact; leastwise they are quite
sure that the one in this county will
never come to an end. The last round,
in which Malvern sought to prevent
the board Of supervisors from issuing
bonds to raise money with which to
build an addition onto the old court
house at Glenwood, was decided in fav-
or of the latter place. Taking advan-
tage of their supposed superior
strength. and presumably to strengthen
Glenwood's hold on the county seat,
Glenwood, which has the most friends
on the board, saw to it that the SUI
pervisor districts were rearranged SO
that there might never be any doubt
about her continuing to control. The
arrangement Of the district would
cause the persons who are responsible
for the Iowa congressional districts, to
turn green with envy.
But the trouble is now renewed by
James T. Ward, of this city. who Is
PLAINTIFF in a suit against the county
board and the auditor, asking that the
districts as established be abolished
on the grounds thai the territory OF
the districts is not contiguous, that It
unlawfully extends the terms Of some
members of the board, and that it
makes it impossible for the nominees
for supervisor to have their names ap-
pear upon the official ballot The trial
is scheduled to, come off at the COM
ing term of the district court, and
lively contest is anticipated

REBEL AGAINST ORDER.
Increased Cost Of Military Suits Blow

Special to Times Republican.
Ames. Sept 19.-Folowing the order
that excuses from drill are not to be
granted to students in the junior col
lege, comes the notice that the price Of
military suits has been raised to $3.50.
At the same time, notices have been
posted and letters sent to all students
who passed up drill last term. stating
that the sale or use of second hand
suits will not be allowed. This ruling
has been made before. but has never
been enforced. The new students who
have already purchased SECONDHAND
suits, are determined nt, to pay out
more money for new ones. and the old
students who have not yet sold their
suits, claim that the college authorities
have no right to forbid them doing
so.
