Search and Seizure Act Declared to
Be Unconstitutional

Austin, Texas, May 20.-The SUI
preme court yesterday in an cN-
haustive opinion, written by Associ-
ate Justice Williams, held unconsti-
utional the act of the thirtieth leg
islature which contemplated the
making Of anti-liQuor laws in local
option districts more effective and
generally known as the search and
seizure act
This opinion was in the case of
j. NJ. Dupree, ct al agains the state
of Texas, on certified questions from
Brown county
The opinion, which covers many
pages of typewriter matter goes

the court held the act unconstitu-
tional is that the writ authorized by
the law confers authority upon a
sheriff or constable to enter and
search not only "such place as af-
hant has reason to believe that the
party named has secreted liquor kept
for sale, but also TO enter and
search "any place" whore affiant be.

"A GOOD CITIZEN GONE

In the sudden death, at Kenton on
October 10Th, of Mr. Joshua M. Arthurs,
his community and state lost an upright
and valuable citizen.
Mr.. Arthurs came to Kenton when but
lad and CIerked in one OF the village
stores; later and until short time before
his death he kept general store, bought
grain, etc. Though TOO generous trust
in his fellows cost him thousands of
dollars, never in his whole career did lie
himself wrong anyone out Of penny.
His unimpeachable integrity had almost
passed into local proverb; it was uniyer-
sally admitted clean 60 his latest hour by
all who knew him personally or merely
by reputation. He led rarely gentle and
blameIess life filled with deeds OF kind.
ness and charity, not only to his own
human kind but even to the dumb ami
mails about him. His character, alike in
private and public station, was a noble
one, singularly unmarried by tile little de-
feCts that too often alloy otherwise ad /.
mirable natures.
In 1874 he married Miss Nancy NJ.
Wright, eldest daughter Of the late John
w. Wright, E,q Of Midd!etown. Three
daughters and two sons came to .adorn u
home spot that was nearly ideal.
Right well did the two clergymen, who
spoke many appreciative words to the
friends and neighbors met to pay their
last respects to the honored dead, descant
with feeling eloquence upon the beauty of
that home! delightful ingIeside not only
beautified by artistic bits from the already
well known brush Of his son, Stanley NJ.
Arthurs, but made SO by the divine adorn-
ment of an ever present loving courtesy
and family affection mutually paid BY
parents and children. One may Justly
pronounce over the ashes Of this good man
gone, the eulogy spoken by Antony over
Brutus:
