hibitor in the fat stock classes since
the conception Of the show in 1900
"A most gratifying feature OF the col
lege exhibits is the fact that over So
per cent of all the animals shown were
bred on the college farm, and with one
possible exception. every animal not
bred by the college was owned by the
college over five months previous to the
opening of the show. That good equip

Des Moines, Dec 16.-Of more than

priety of an election judge sitting as a
grand juror in district court, handed
down yesterday.
hibits the serving on the grand jury
by any man who requested to be made
a member of that body or to have his
name reported as a judge. In Ala
makee county, w. c. Anderson, who
was indicted, asked that the indictment
be quashed because one of the grand
jurors had been an election judge and
had evidently sent in his own name
for jury service. The lower court re-
fused to quash the Indictment and he
appealed. Now the supreme court sus-
tains, the lower court, saying that as
there are several election judges in
each precinct. the fact that one name
is sent in does not signify that the
1t might be included by the other two
judges against his protest. The court
holds that were the names of all three
judges returned then 1t would appear
they had sought the place, but ona
name is not evidence per Sc that the
election sought or even asked jury
service.
Prohibition interests received a set
back at the hands of the supreme court
in its decision that the state has p
right to amend and modify the prohi-
bition statute by fixing license. The
charge that the mulct law is uncon-
stitutional and Illegal because in con-
fiict with the prohibition statute was
made in the case of j. H, Campbell VS..
Jackman Brothers in Blackhawk c6un-
ty, wherein an effort was sought to en-
joiE the defendants from operating, a
saloon. The petitioners claimed the
state had no right in face of the pro-
hibition statute to provide for license.
The sapreme court held directly oppo-
site to them, saying that if the state
has the discretion to enact a prohibit
tory law it surely has right to mod
ify it by providing for a license. Tho
mulct tax, it held, Is neither unconsti-
tutional nor void.
This decision will probably be taken
as basis for argument before the COM
ing legislature. by those who favor
providing for local option laws
