A New One About Napoleon.

A new story about Napoleon is
necessarily doubtful; the probability
is that it is simply so old that it has
been forgotten. However, here is one
that Arthur M. Chuquet prints in
L'Opinion as never before published.
1t relatesto Napoleon and Butcher.
The emperor received the general
at the castle of Finkenstein, while he
was preparing for the siege of Danzig.
He drew him to a window in an upper
story and paid him compliments on
his military gifts, and Butcher, going
away delighted, described the inter
view to his aide-de-camp. What
chance you missed" exclaimed the
latter.
You might have changed the whole
course of history"
"How?"
Why, you might have thrown him
out of the window"
"Confound it," replied Butcher. $50
I might! If only l had thought of it."

he repeated the expression more often

Buckingham palace, given by Queen
Victoria, his royal highness remarked
to him humorously: Il like sitting next

you prefer thinking TO talking"
The prince, 1t is well known, has a
very great dislike to ceremonial, and
wishes to be treated, as far as is con.
sistent with etiquette, as an ordinary
guest wherever he stays. A rather
characteristic story is told OF his royal
highness when he was guest at a
country house-party some yearc ago.

Vince Sitting Bull Was.

Doane Robinson, head of the depart.
ment of history of the state of South
Dakota, says of Sitting Bull and the
Custer massacre: "The Indians tell
me that Sitting Bull was a medicine
chief; that he was the greatest infiu-
ence among the Sioux at that time by
reason of his constant agitation
against the whites, and that he did
not personally engage in the fight
against Custer, but that he was back
on an elevation between the Little
Big Horn and the Big Horn making
medicine. Indian School Journal.

bank robberies in central Iowa this season
and the inability OF the officials to get
even a clue to the persons responsible
therefor, bankers are said to be organ

up the cases. The bank robbery at Car

SUDDEN DEATH OF PIONEER
George IT. West, SRI, OF Enamet
County Found Dead by 4
of Road.

ESTHERvILJE. Ia, Dec. 12.-(Special.)-
George II. West. ST., a pioneer resident OF
Emmett county. was found dead by the
roadside yesterday. West hitched a team
to a sled and started to Baskerville. When
about a half mile from home, in order
to avoid the rough road, he turned to the
side where about a foot of water had
frozen over. This not being strong enough
to bear up the horses, they broke through
and became ~entsngled in the harness. Mr..
West unhitched one horse and It went
back home, but the other ne never UNI
hitched, as he was found with one foot
broken through the ice, where he had
fallen backward. II Is thought that either
heart failure or the bursting OF a blood
vessel cased his death, as the doctor found
no scratch or bruise on his body. Mr..
West was 70 years OF age at the time OF
his death and has lived in Emmett county
forty-three years, having homesteaded his
farm, which is three and one-half miles
east Of the city, ana he has lived on the
same place all these years, Seven boys,

against Mrs. Ben Teal, wife of the stage
manager for subornation of perjury in

Milk Ordinance
Up to the Court
Judge Snyder Must Decide on Merits
of the Fight for Pure
Article.

The question OF the validity of the pure
milk ordinance requiring dairymen and
dealers of milk to take cut a license is
now up to Judge Snyder of the superior
court TO determine. The case against
]. w. Taylor, one of the dairymen
charged with selling milk without a
license was submitted Saturday to Judge
Snyder. This is a test case and Taylor
is backed by the Dairymen's association.
At the conclusion of the arguments Judge
Snyder took his decision under advisement
and will hand down his ruling Monday
morning.
The case was submitted on an agreed
statement of facts. Attorney ]. J.
Stewart counsel for the Dairymen's as
ISOLATION admitted all the facts set forth
in the information filed by City Solicitor
Kimball with the exception that the de-
PENDANT was ~unlawfully selling milk.
Attorney Stewart in his argument adj
mitted that the municipality had the right
under the police laws to take measures TO
insure the health of it's citizens, but he
contended that under the Iowa laws a
license could not be imposed by a NUM-
cipality except where the law specifically
stated that a city could compel GER
tain trades and professions to take
aut a license. The statute, he said,
did not include milk dealers or dairymen
as occupations that a city could license
and therefore the requirement under the
ordinance of a license was Illegal.
If a license can be imposed on dairy
men when they-are not specifically named
by the statutes as people whom the city
can compel to take out a license, what is
there to prevent the city from compelling
newspaper reporters, grocerymen or any
one from taking out a license?' Attorney
Stewart asked. Mr.. Stewart said If the
court ruled against him he would appeal

having recently experienced, while they
slept. the departure OF Rev. Mr.. Long, who
his creditors say, took much with him
when he left tina had not been paid for.
The appointee assigned to the Plainfield
charge at the recent conference, for some
unknown reason, did not come to AXE
charge. A few weeks later a Rev. W. NJ.
Long, carrying apparently satisfactory
credentials, but short of ready money, and
presentable clerical garb, applied to Dis
trict Superintendent Bissel for a pastor
ate. The Rev. Mr.. Long said he came
from Missouri, where his credentials were
dated.

he might improve his personal appearance

people,
This hi did in due season, bringing with
him his family. and all the Longs were
duly installed in the parsonage. Rev.
Mr.. Long entered upon his work with
spiritual zeal and enthusiasm, and so won
the people of his congregation that an in
crease in salary was allowed without delay.
A few days ago Rev, Mr., Blssell heard
disquieting reports from southern Iowa,
which concerned one Rev. Mr.. Long. Fol-
lowing up the investigation 1t was learned
that the Rev. Mr.. Long OF southern Iowa,
had mixed a number Of people. ARMED
with information which It was believed
was authentic, Rev. Mr., Bissell sent Rev.
Frank Cole to Plainfield. He confronted
and accused Rev. Mr.. Ions OF being the
Long Of southern Iowa. The latter at first
denied. attempted to establish an alibi, then
confessed. He promised to make good his
outstanding obligations and resign.
