Justice Jones here last evening for a
rule to show cause in a case involving
an attack on the constitutionality of
the recent statute closing the dispen-
saries and providing for an election on
August II, added third ground to-
day to their charge Of unconstitution-
ality, namely, that the Act is class
legislation. in that "a counties are
given the right to hold election auto
matically every four years, while the
one election only is given the remain
ing counties. The two grounds urged
last evening, as published in today's
News and Courier, 1t will be recalled,
are: 1st, that the statute in question
violates the article in the constitution
requiring the subject Of an Act to be
expressed in the title. I'd. That it is
special legislation"
1t Is stated that the courts may de-
clare that section of the Act relating
to the election of August II uncon-
stitutional without invalidating the
rest of the Act, In which event State

Rev. Hanna. This was two-story
wooden structure and while it had
been raining the greater portion of
the night, 1t did not seem to have
much effect, and the fire was under
strong headway, when the depart
ment arrived. But their usual good
work kept the flames within it's
bounds. Had 1t not been for such
quick response, no doubt, several
buildings would have been burned, in
Guiding the oil mill, as it was only a
few feet from the burning building.
A good portion of the furniture was
saved. Some insurance was carried
also. The origin of the fire is not
known.

at the same time answered all ques-
tions relative to the manner In which
the commission had conducted the
work of construction. The experience
Of this city In building a sewerage
system cannot but be of great value
to Florence for the reason that the
conditions In Florence as well as in
all other towns In this section of the

applies to one applies to all. The

Centres in the Vote on the Report
Today.
Washington. August 4.-small IN
terest was shown in the tariff debate
in tn senate today, but a night ses-
sion vas necessary to allow "progrAs-
sive" senators an opportunity to ex-
rress their views on the tariff bill.
Most of the speeches during the
day were heard by only handful Of
senator's. while the galleries had but
sprinkling of visitors. Interest now
seems to centre on the vote on the
confer ence report which will be talk
en- at 2 p. m. tomorrow.
onferences among senators were
numerous. Several times Vice Presi-
dent Sherman found it necessary to
call the body to order and to insist
that conversation be discontinued.
The effect of the maximum and
minimum provision of the measure,
as agreed upon by the conferees, was
the chief subject Of discussion during
the afternoon. Senator Beveridge
undertook to show that Senator Aid
rich interpreted the language as re-
ported by the conferees as practical
ly guaranteeing all the results that
could be obtained through the instru-
mentality of tariff commission. SEN
ator Hale argued that exactly the op-
posite purpose was in the minds of
the house cOnferees, whose views had
carefully avoided giving any author
ity to the president by which he could
gather information on which another
revision Of the tariff could be based.
From the committee on finance Mr..
Aldrich reported resolution by
which, as soon as the conference re-
pOTt mas Deen VOteU on, the niue ana
leather schedule will be corrected; it
is intended to meet the views of
Western senators, who demanded
lower duties on products manufacture
ed from leather.
1t looked as If the senate had gone
on strike" when the hour to reas-
semble arrived tonight. Senator
SmOot at once called for a quorum
1t was the first time during the long
tariff debate that difficulty was ex-
perienced in the senate in obtaining
q quorum. Senator Aldrich was
among the absent.
After nearly half an hour had pass
ed with quorum still lacking, SEN
ator Nelson moved that the sergeant
alarms be instructed to send for alb
sentees.
Senator Lodge finally entered the
chamber, making a quorum, and the
croer to bring in the absentees was
aorogated.
Senator Cummins, Of Iowa, was the
tlrsT speaker at the evening session.

Gilbert Edge Gets Leg Broken.

While working with the special
pile driver screw, on fill west of
Grand River, S. G. Edge had the mis-
fortune to get his leg broken. The
high derrick that carries the hammer
used in driving piling into the
ground, was being raised to perpin-
dicular position and when almost to
the proper position the ropes broke
allowing 1T to fall back to the
ground Unfortunately Gilbert was
standing under it and did not notice
the accident in time to get out of the
way. Realizing that if any part of
the falling machinery should strike
him fair, it meant sure death. Gill
bert quickly squatted on the track,
not knowing what else to do. A cross
rung caught his left knee and pinned
him down SO that he could not move
until it was chopped away. The men
quickly raised him to his feet when
he discovered that the left leg was
broken at point about half way be-
tween the ankle and the knee. The
fracture was set by DR.. Lands at
Grand River, after which he was
brought home.-Van Vert Record.

Divorce.

What God has joined together
let no man put asunder," seems to
be in the eye of the public law to
be ignored. Especially those who
have taken the VOW to live by one
another through thick and thin, and
be living example to their children
and the public in general.
Yet, when the contracting parties
discover that they have made sad
mistake, little do they think of these
children whom they love and cherish
and who are depending upon them
for help and guidance through this
old crooked world. The children
should above all else create in their
hearts deeper love for each other
and cause them to overlook the many
obstacles that appear along life's
pathway. Try to make life worth
living instead of a drudge and bur-
den, look on the bright side and the
dark side will take care of itself.
| 1t would appear that there were
more unhappy people in Decatur
county than there should be, judging
from the number that have gathered
at the court house in the past few
months, telling their troubles and
seeking for dissolution of the vow
that should be as sacred to them as
the Bible itself. Little did they
think at the time when they were
joined together that life was full of
many stumbling blocks that would
tax them to the utmost to endure
1t seems as though in many of the
cases those who took the marriage
vow look at the present and let the
future take care of itself. Every
thing should be taken into consider
alton and see if the nature of one
could be adapted to the other. II
more people would analyze the mar.
riage vow and study it's meaning
thoroughly, we believe there would
be fewer divorce cases in our courts

HUNTING ON ANOTHER'S PLACE.
Inquiry and Reply Concerning Pro-
visions OF Hunters License

Editor Reporter For the benefit
of the readers OF your paper l would
ask you to state in The Reporter
another persons premises with per-
mission of the land owner without a
hunters license. Subscriber.
We have looked up the law on this
question and it is our opinion that it
license to hunt anywhere except on
land which you own or control. In
Guided in the Iowa resident and nom
resident hunters license law is the
following:
hunt, pursue, kill or take any wild
animal, bird, or game in this state,
with a gun, without first procuring a
license as herein provided.
Part of Section 4 of the same law
says: The license shall authorize
it's holder to hunt in accordance with
the provisions of this act in any
county of the state, but not on en-
closed or cultivated lands without
permission of the owner, or tenant
or upon any public highway"
Section 9 of the same act says in
part: "The license " shall not
entitle the person to whom issued,
to hunt. pursue and kill wild an
imals, birds, or game in this state
without being prepared at the time
of so doing to exhibit it for inspec-
ton and permitting it, on demand,
to be examined by any person. All
licenses shall be void after the first
day of July next succeeding issue:
Provided, however. that owners OF
farm lands, their children and ten
ants, shall have the right, without
procuring license. to hunt, and kill
wild animals, birds or game upon
the land owned or occupied by
them
F, Another portion of the same sec.
ton declares: ANY person found
guilty of violating any of the pro
visions of this section shall be deem
ed guilty of misdemeanor, and up
on conviction thereof shall be fined
in any sum not less than twenty-five
dollars ($25) or more than fifty dol
lars ($5O) for each offense, and
shall stand committed to the county
Jail until such costs and fines are
paid, but such Imprisonment shall
not exceed thirty days for each of
fense."
Section 10 of the act says: -
license in the possession of any per
son other than to whom first issued
and on complaint, the license OF an.
person hunting on enclosed or cult
waited lands, without permission 0
the owner or tenant may be revoked
by the county auditor
