WILL PROSECUTE
SPARKS CANDY CO.
Authorities Aroused by Distri-
button of Debasing Leaden
Figures Among Children.
LEGAL POINTS INVOLVED
CITY ORDINANCE is QUOTED AS
COVERING OFFENSE.

The Sparks Candy company is accused
OF distributing little leaden images, or
figures, which are conspcuously sugges-
tive, and which have found their way
INTO the possession of the school children
of The city in large numbers. Both girls
and boys have the casts in their posses
sion. and the school authorities are
aroused, and so is the juvenile court, AMI
1 so IS the county attorney.
Attention was first called TO the pres
ence OF the nude figures Friday. Juven-
| lie court officials took cogniZance of the
matter and yesterday the attention u
the county attorney was directed 10 the
state of affairs. All agree that the mat
Ter IS TOO serious by far TO pass without
action,
| 1t is the contention of the Sparks Candy
/ company people that while the images
are distributed by them, there is no law
| prohibiting such distributoin. They hold,
in substance, that while the state law
/ prohibits the manufacture of articles of
| the kind, their distribution is not -prehib-
| tied by that law.
The statute on the question is admitted
1 ~ vague. and there is much doubt as to
whether it is sufficiently specific to cover
| the case.
There is a city ordinance on the books
which. on the face of il seems TO cover
the case in point absolutely. That is
/ 449. chapter 20, and reaus:
1T shall be unlawful for any person
/ to offer for sale, sell, exl bit, pass, give
I
or indecent book. pamphlet. picture. card
/ print, paper. mould. cast or 1lguTe.'
! The penalty for rIOiaticn. upon convic-
| ton, is a maximum fine of 500
| Now. there are others who say the city
council has not the power to pass any
| ordinance of the kind. for the reason that
( in doing so it exceeds the power dele
gated it by legislative act.
No End of Law.
| They who claim for the city authority
/ to prosecute in cases of this kind will
| give one the final ultimatum, when they
call attention 10 section 20l of the revised
/ statutes, which says:
| Powers to be enforced by ordinance
| When by this title power is conferred
/ upon the city council 10 do and perform
any act or thing. and the manner of ex-
! ercisins the same is not specifically
! pointed out, the city council may pro-
vide by ordinance the manner and de-
! tails necessary for the full exercise of
such power"
During all the talk that this matter has
/ caused. il has been suggested that there
| may be more than one way of approach
\ ing the problem. There is the state law,
there is the city ordinance, there is the
| possibility of making the Sparks Candy
( company amenable on the ground that it
/ contributed toward delinquency.

.s FORGOT WHAT He FORGOT.

Suburbanite, However, Finally Re.
membered What He Forgot.
"Wait minute" said the subur5
banite. "I've forgotten something"
"What?" asked the man who was
generally his running mate.
"I forgot what I've forgotten"
That's plain enough
"Too bad I can't remember it."
my dear fellow, can't you see how
impossible it is to remember what we
forget or what we forget we've for
gotten?'
That's all right, but what'll my
wife say when I tell her I forgot to
get what she told me to? And she'll
still be sore if I tell her I didn't for
get to get it, but that l had forgotten
what l was to get. I can't tell her
knew I had forgotten to get what
had forgotten, but that I remembered
I forgot, can 1? She'll tell me should
have forgotten to forget it." .
"Oh, come on. Forget it,
"You mean that should forget that
I forgot l had forgotten"
But just then the car came along,
and as he took his seat near the
stove, he remarked to his neighbor:
81 remember now"
Remember what?"
81 remember what I've forgotten"
''Look at the impossibiity of that
proposition. How can you remember
what you have forgotten. any more
than you can forget what you remem-
ber?"
But l do remember. 1t was coffee
Can't you see how I've forgotten what
/ remember? And remember what I
forgot, too. And I remember what l
had forgotten l had forgotten"

Many Wolves in Upper Michigan.

Estimates by the Federal Biological
survey, to the effect that there are per-
haps 200 timber wolves in upper Michi-
gan, are declared by woodsmen to be
far under the mark.
There are fifteen counties in the
peninsula, and there are wolves in ev-
cry one of them, particularly in the
great stretches of wilderness with
which the region abounds. Probably
as many as 500 wolves have been
killed the last year it is figured still
there appears to be as many of the
animals in the woods now as twelve
months ago.
The Luce county board recently ap.
proved the payment the payment of
bounties on thirty wolves, amounting
at $50 head to 5000, and in Dickin-
son county bounties were paid on sew
enteen wolves and nineteen wild cats.

Genius and OheSitu-

The annals of genius are filled to
overfloWing with the names of men
who toiled and achieved fame under
a full habit. Nothing can be more un-
just than the give about "fat and
folly" and fatness and indolence.
Martin Luther was as fat as Calvin
was thin; Ernest Remains obesity did
not obscure his insight and brilliancy.
Many writer's and speakers have too
long spoken invidiously of fatness, but
the best retort We have been able to
CLEAN in our researches into this
weighty subject is that of G. H. pur-
geon, the famous preacher. People"
said Spurgeon, "say I am fat. I am
not fat. l am bone and flesh. My
limbs, thank God, are amply clothed,
and am in my right mind"

London's Last Private Garden.

1t is sad to hear that the last of
the private gardens in the city Of
London is coming to an end. No. 4
Crosby square, with it's beautiful old
staircase and pleasant rooms, is to be
pulled down. Ripe figs were gathered
in the summer of 1893 from the fig
tree on the wall and other trees grew
near the fountain in the middle of the
garden. An 1850 edition of Murray's
London" states that the present
houses in Crosby square were built
in 1877. This was the year in which
the Lady Mary was married to Will
lam of Orange.

OPENS UP ALBA
CELEBRATES.

Abba. Dec. 1S.-(Special.)--Here is
a news item that it will do we'll for the
people in all the towns of southern
Iowa where there has been interurban
talk. to read. One year ago yesterday
the interurban between Abba and
Hooking was put in commission. BY
that It is meant that the line was
opened for public travel. YESTERDAY
the anniversary of the opening of Al
bias first interurban was celebrated
BY the opening of the line between
Abba and Hiteman. a new line that
has been constructed during the year
which covers a distance Of six miles.
In the two years while other towns
have been doing building on paper AL
bia has gone ahead with her lines and
has constructed ten miles of line in
reality. These lines are now bring
ing hundreds Of holiday shoppers to
the city. and they have been paying
investments from the start. The AL
bia people who subscribed stock in the
lines were given their first taste Of a
proposition in which they had invested
their money Yesterday by receiving
checks as a dividend on their stock.
Repeated efforts lave been made by
various parties to purchase what stock
is held by Abba people but they have
refused to sell. The interurban stock
in Abba is away above par in the
minds of the >eoplc. A party of
paper men, bankers and others We're
invited to go over the line to Hooking
yesterday and it was the first trip
which had been made with passen-
gers. Today a schedule of running
time will go into effect. Cars will run
from Hfternan every thirty minutes
and from Hooking every fifteen min
utes. The people of the southern Iowa
towns who have been talking inter
urban are invited to come to Abba
and take a ride. Now the talk is on
to Buxton and it is expected to nave
such a line in operation in another
year.
