The Good Old Summer Time

has arrived and it's the most ratural habit on earth for us Christians to drink considerable more n hot weather than when the climate IS cool. Therefore, we should be very careful as to what beverage we par take. Goodness knows that intox- icating drinks are just what all good Christians should not use, partiCu- larly in the good old summer tune. And soda with the different faVors is almost as bad. Now, if you take our advice you'l drink fresh churned buttcrmilk, and kindly remember We receive it fresh every day. We refer you to any of the hundreds Of peo- pie who drink the kind we sell as to the quality we dispense. Doctors order it lately when they wish to cure you quickly, and any doctor who says it's not healthy, look out for him, he's liable to be bad egg."

PERSONAL ASSAULT CASE AT MT.
PLEASANT IS DECIDED IN
FAVOR OF ATTORNEY

Mt. Pleasant, Mar. 2.-The McCoid-
Faulkner case went to the jury about
8 o'clock Saturday morning and after
being out about seven hours the jury
returned a verdict in favor of the de-
fendant allowing him 81 damages, and
costs. McCoid was suing for $3.50
damages for injuries he claimed to
have received in personal encounter
with Faulkner last April. Faulkner
claimed that he acted only in self de-
fense, but admitted to having knock
ed him down several times. McCoid
was badly cut at the back of his head
and also on his forehead and was not
able to be at his office for several
weeks after the fight.
This has been one of the hardest
fought cases that has been tried in
the district court here for several
years, it taking the entire week Nc
Cold is an attorney here and we'll
known through this part of the state,
and Faulkner is land agent from
Texas. w. M. Walker of Keosauqua
assisted in the defense and Mr.. Car

The personal encounter which they
had last spring grew out of land
deal in which Faulkner had sold Nc,

went into his Office one day and

GAMBLERS Are
NOT in JAIL
APPEALS MAY BE TAKEN BY A.
MAJORITY OF THEM
BONDS GIVEN.

None Of the gamblers have yet been
incarcerated in the county jail on the
sentences handed down by Judge

ner. who was assessed fine of so
days in Jail and fine of 5000 and
costs have filed notice of appeal from
the judgment given.
Herm Davis also has filed a notice
Of motion objecting to the length
of his sentence. Both are under sp-
peal bonds, Davis of $1,000 and Sum-
ner Of $500.
1t is reported about the court house

WINSTON CHURCHILL.

he will essay the herculean task of
combining the premiership with the
chancellorship of the eXchequer. Mr..
Gladstone held these two offices at
one time. But even in the event of
effect being given to this arrange
ment a considerable reshuffiing of the
cabinet posts is inevitable, and the
certainty of this once more brings the
name of Winston Churchill into promf-
nence.
Churchill to the Fore.
With Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-
mann's impending retirement Mr..
Churchill's admittance to the charmed
circle may be taken to be a moral
certainty. 1t is not yet decided where
he shall go, but it is very we'll known
that Mr.. Birrell would not be sorry to
abandon the office Of Irish secretary,
while Churchill would enjoy being in
a place where fighting could be forced.
Lord Elgin, who Is comparatively
poor man with large family, is not
likely to give up $4,000 year at the
colonial office to oblige Mr.. Churchill
unless offered better place, and that
it is stated, may be forthcoming by
giving him the Office of lord privy seal
and the Duchy of Lancaster on the
retirement of Sir Henry Fowler.
1t is in the colonial Office that Mr.
Churchill would undoubtedly like to
rise to the position of cabinet mini
ster. He has spent all his spare time
in studying colonial questions in the
light of history, political and economic
Young Man In Cabinet.
Anyhow it is felt that room in the
cabinet must be made for younger
man, and if the minister will not &C
there are means of shifting him.

York city and later Lady Randolph

JUDGE UNDER

ROOSEVELT AND ROOT DECLARE
SHANGHAI JURIST TO BE
WORTHY OF CREDIT.

Washington, D. c., Mar. 2.-Judge
Lebens R. Wiley, who was sent to
Shanghai for the express purpose of
reversing the lax administration of
justice in the American quarter and
against whom charge has been filed
in the house as basis for impeach-
ment proceedings is vindicated by
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Root in correspondence made public
today. Both the officials say Wilhey
was attacked solely because of his
fearlessness and integrity and is en-
titled to commentator and high cred
it for his conduct in Office and that
the charge against him should be dis
missed.

PETITIONS FOR AN EXTENSION
OF TIME WITHIN WHICH TO
COMPLY WITH s-HouR LAW is
oVERRULED TODAY.
ROADS ARE FAVORED
IN SECOND RULING
PASSING OF FULTON MEASURE
COMMISSION OPPOSES IDEA OF
GIVING SINGLE SHIPPER POW
Err TO DELAY RATES.

Washington, D. c., Mar. 2.-The in
terstate commerce commission de-
cided today by unanimous vote to
deny all petitions for extensions of
time within which to comply with the
so-caIled hours of service law, the nine
in report which is now in prepara-
tion and which will be announced in
few days.
Another Ruling Favors Roads.
The commission has written a letter
taking position in opposition to Sen
ator Fulton's bill prohibiting railroad
companies from advancing rates in
the face of protest made by ship
per until the commission shall have
passed upon the reasonableness of the
Increase.
"To give to the protest of single
shipper the effect of preventing the
advance of any rate until the reason
ableness of that advance was affirma-
lively determined by the commission" ;"
says the letter. would establish
hard and fast rule of doubtful fair
ness to the railroads and questions able
advantage to the public.
Measure Held Up as Unwise.
"Under existing conditions we are
of the opinion that it would be unwise
to adopt the arbitrary limitations
which this bill proposes, whatever
may be found desirable or necessary
in this regard in the future"
The commission also finds an OBJ
lection to the bill in a possibility Of
increased burdens unon the commits
sion On this point they say: eff ev-
cry proposed advance had to be in
vestigated by the. commission and Of
ficially sanctioned before it could take
effect, the number of cases to be con-
sidered would presumably be so great
as to render their prompt disposition
almost impossible.
Would be Unfair to Carriers.
"In instances of justifable increase
the necessity of delay resulting from
the probable volume of cases would
work injustice to the carriers Until
conditions become more stable and
the substantive provisions of the act
are more completely observed in rail
road tariffs and policies, we entertain
the belief that wider latitude of dis
cretion on the part Of carriers than
this measure allows should be per
mitted'
The commission also suggests as q
possible effect of the bill the prevent
ing of voluntary reductions of rates
If, they say "the rate could be in
creased without the approval of the
commission after aft rnative chowipe
by the carrier it might happen thai
many reductions now voluntarily
accorded would not be made"
