DIES MONIES, March 6.-(Special)-The
senate today passed the bill to provide
a way for removal OF a public official who
wilfully fails or neglects to do his duty.
The bill provides that on complaint of ten
persons the attorney general or governor
shall act and bring the matter before a
Judge OF the court and the officer may
be removed on showing as to his guilt. The
bill was debated for two days and a few
minor amendments added, but in the main
the bill was passed as drafted by the senate
committee on judiciary. This was the
only business done in the Legislature.
The house spent an hour airing the per
sonal grievances Of a few members in a
quarrel they had with the secretary Of
the State Board OF Health and several Of
the members denounced the secretary for
his alleged lack OF courtesy to them. He
was also accused Of having given out an
interview in a local paper which vas
false.
The, house reconsidered its vote in de-
feat OF the Hacker bill TO permit second
class cities TO try the commission form Of
government. after the reconsideration an
amendment was offered to fix the mini
mum population OF cities affected at 1000
and also to remove the objections which
had been made by Waterloo TO the bill.
II was then made a special order for next
week.
In the senate Hammill presented a bill
TO revise the law as to gambling and swind
ling and especially to strike at just such
a situation as that recently developed In
Council Bluffs, and to provide that where
persons have been swlndled by games OF
any kin6 they can recover the money.
Security Company Measure.
The Moore bill to require that county
companies shall file with the state aud
itor securities to back them up I'm their
business the same as Insurance companies
has feature tina are valuable. Some
time ago a surety company WHICH had
bonded about 200 notaries In Iowa went
out OF business, and after II had gone out
OF business several months it was discov-
cred by those who have a right to know
that these bonds are not good. Yet the
bonds had been accepted and nOtalies
were acting under them. There was no way
to compel the company to make good on
the bonds or provide new ones. The Moore
bin would prevent such things.

Daniel c. French. the noted sculp-
tor, was born in Exeter, n H., April

DOGS AND GROCERIES.

Regarding dogs and groceries from
an open Standpoint OF utility and
preference, the latter must, naturally,
take precedence in the public mind
Dogs are alright in a way; but groc-
cries are indispensable, essential and
cost more than dogs, always. The
dogs are popular. in a sentimental
way and have their uses, but, unlike
groceries, are rarely kept in place and
under control.
The passing Of an ordinance to com
pei merchants to so arrange and dis
play groceries as to save them from
invasion BY dogs, raises the issue Of
what is due. relatively, to both; we
claim that its passage puts the ami
NAL above the staple, and gives the
dog a right-of-way it does not deserve.
There are very few dogs of positive
value; while every edible on the mar
ket has a fixed, and usually, excessive
price. let alone the cardinal necessity
with which it figures in matters Of
health and sustenance. We can get
along forever, without dogs, il we
have to; but there is a short limit,
indeed, in the matter of foregoing
groceries and meats. Therefore, If
either are to be given preferential
status under the law, "our daily bread"
should command the situation, and
the dogs be kept out Of touch with
them, and upon the premises they are
supposed to adorn and protect.
The dog, (even the best of the
beasts is but incidental; it is not
primary adjunct to any home, or fam
lily: and is cherished only because it
is alive and belongs to someone; on
the other hand, groceries, fruits, veg
etables. all are Of stable use and value
to the community and should not re-
quire such protection as is given them
in this instance.
If the relation between the two is
to be finally determined by law, the
dog should be relegated to the home
premises and never be permitted
abroad except at the end of a leading
chain in the hands Of responsible
owner who would do better stunt
Of citizenship in controlling the con-
duct of the animal, than is now done
by those who permit them to run at
large as public nuisances. The dog
is not to blame. The blame lies with
the careless owner who does not
seek to check or regulate the nuis-
ance, but deliberately abets it.

SEVENTEEN BIRTHDAY,

VIENNA, April n Dispatches
| from Bucharest report that the seven
tieth birthday OF King Charles was
extensively and enthusiastically cc'e'
brated today not only in the Rouman'
ian capital, but throughout the eoun-
TRY, where the King enjoys unhounded
popularity, II caused universal re-
gret that the health Of the King
would not permit him to bear the
strain of attending the public ietes ar
ranged in his honor. Even to receive
the members OF the diplomatic corps
rendering their congratulations and
giving audience to the members OF
the Cabinet and the heads OF the par
liamentary bodies and the civil and
military authorities was a severe tax
upon the Kings feeble strength,
King Charles has probably the most
interesting history of all the rulers OF
Europe. He was born April 20 1880,
the secondson Of the late Prince
Charles OF Hohenzollern- -Simaringen
and was lieutenant in the Second
Regiment OF Prussian Dragons
when, in 1866 he was selected to ill
the throne OF Roumania which had be
come vacant by the expulsion Of
Prince Alexander John. From the
very beginning his reign was marked
by internal dissensions and parlia-
mentary crises, The persecution OF
the Jews in Roumania led to indign-
ant protests from various foreign gov
ernmeuts and the pro- Russian leaning
OF Prince Charles and his subjects
caused irritation to the powers OF the
Triple-Alliance. During the Tureo-
Russian war of 1877 Roumania
strongly supported Russia and the
Rumanian troops, gaffantly led BY
Prince Charles himself, fought gall
antly and won the day al Plevna. In
return for these valuable services
Prince Charles received from Alex.
ander II. the Cross of St. George and
a stretch of dreary waste in the Dob
rutscha, while one OF the most fertile
and important provinces was taken
away from Roumania. This led to A
complete arrangement between Rou-
mania and Russia, which continued
until Crown Prince Ferdinand of Rou-
mania married the beautiful Princess

PROHIBITION FIGHT.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex April 90
Statewide prohibition missed being
reality in Texas by an eyelash, failing
of carrying in the present session Of
the legislature by such narrow mar
gin as to give the liquor interests a
bad scare. 1t now develops that the
prohibition element Of Texas, far
from feeling the temporary defeat, are
elated at the close proximity to sue
cess which they attained, and are care
fully mapping out their plans to make
Texas a dry state within the next two
years.
Prohibition leaders who have visit
ed San Antonio within the past few
days express firm conviction that
victory will soon perch triumphantly
on their banner, and they make no
secret of their plans to force the fight
to a decisive conclusion in this state.
Chief among the measures which they
will seek to have enforced in the
meantime is the anti-treating law,
arguing that treating is largely re-
sponsible for such inebriety as exists,
The Rev. G. w. Eichelberger, one Of
the most prominent Of the anti-liquor
forces, has arrived here from a tour
Of the state. He says that five coun-
ties are already willing and anxious
to put the question Of wet and dry to
their voters in elections which will
very likely be held in July or August.
Mr. Eichelberger will devote two or
three months to Bexar county. Every
ward in the city Of San Antonio and
every precinct in the county will be
thoroughly organized, and prohibition
clubs started in all them.
