INQUEST ORDERED
N CYANIDE CASE;
ARRESTS LIKELY
Double Murder, Officials Now
Believe, and Third Person
Saw Lovers Die.

CUMBERLAND, Nd, Jan. s.-An in
quest will be held tonight in the we'd
ding eve poison mystery. in which Miss
Grace Elosser and Charles Edward
| Twigg met death. The county officials
are convinced it was a craftily planned
| and executed double murder. Sum-
monses have been issued for nearly a
! score of witnesses. and the outcome
may be an arrest and a direct accu-
sation of murder.
Every development in the case has
made 1t more Inc more certain that
there existed no suicide agreement be-
tween Grace Elosser and her fance,
and the idea hat either was induced
to drink poison unknowingly by the
other OF that either had any desire to
end the lives of both is considered
equally improbable.
No Motive for Suicide.
Every action for days before their
death indicated both to be In the hap
piest frame of mind, very much in love
with each other, and joyously alive to
the future. There are a score of facts
that prove this to have been their cor
dition of mind when they entered the
parlor of Miss Elosser's house, out of
which they were not TO come alive.
Murder was done I am convinced"
said States Attorney Robb, land I
have hope that the testimony that l
will be able to bring out at the inquest
will solve his unparalleled mystery"
The greatest Importance Is attached
by the authorities to the statement UNI
qualifedly made by DR.. Foard regard
ing the condition in which he found
the bodies and the form In which the
deadly cyanide reached the lips of the
a and girl. From this statement, 1t
Is believed to be certain that a third
person had knowledge of the deaths of
Twigg and his sweetheart long before
the discovery made by the girls
mother of the couple sitting side by
side in death upon the sofa In the var
Tor.
Death Was Swift.
Death came so swiftly that neither
the man nor woman was able to arise
from the sofa. Some third person must
have removed the glasses or bottles or
coth from their hands before the dis
covery Of the bodies, and even before
they were dead, otherwise their hands
would not have been tightly clenched.
If anything had been taken from their
hands after death the hands would
have been flaccidly open.
This can only mean one thing, the
officials say--that some third person
was In the room with them looking
upon their dying agony. A very few
seconds after they had taken the
poison his person must have has
tened to remove from the room all evil
dence of the glasses used and the
bottle or vessel that contained the
poison.
Little Harlan Norris still maintains
that when he first looked into the room
he saw Twigg and Miss Elosscr with
glasses In their hands. other lads who
ran up to the door and peeked in and
ran away frightened have been sum-
moned to testify.
1t was learned today that the big
dye works here use pounds of cyanide
| of potassium, and subpoenaes have
been issued for men employed there.
These may produce startling evidence
OF the source from which the poison
was obtained.

LAW STILL IN EFFECT.
All Incorporated Companies Must
Again Report to Internal Revenue
Department by March list.

Regardless of reports that the cor
poration tax law is unconstitutional,
the law is still in effect, and requires
all incorporated companies of what
ever nature to report again to the
collector of internal revenue of the
district in which the company has it's
principal place of business.
Already blanks and full informa-
ton have been mailed by the differ
ent collectors to all incorporated
companies whose names and addresses
can be learned, but it is probable that
some have been missed. Since failure
to receive blanks does not relieve any
company of liability for not reporting,
any that have not received such
blanks should apply for them at once

must transport this magazine con-
siderable distance, employ clerical
force at both ends OF the line to handle
it, and in the majority Of cases de-
liver it by rural carrier, for the sum
of six cents per year. Sixty cents

THE STATE NORMAL FIGHT.

Denison has gone into the race for
the location OF state normal school.
The people offer the college grounds
and buildings free to the state. Our
competitors are Tabor and Shenan-
doah, Iowa. Both are close to the
Missouri line, are poorly located and
have poor railroad facilities. In their
immediate vicinity the state now has
located three institutions, the hospital
for the insane at Clarinda, the home
for the feeble minded at Glenwood
and the school for the deaf at Council
Bluffs. This would seem to be fair
share for the southwestern part of the
state.
The only trouble with Denison's
case is that we did not plan our cam
paign early enough. Under the cir
cumstances it is possible that the best
we can hope at this session is that
there will be no legislation. If there
is none and Denison is in earnest, a
CdulpdlSu Ue dD-
pointed to have full charge, to get in
touch with senators and represent
atives all over the state and to make
such preparations that we shall enter
the next assembly with we'll organ
lied plan of procedure and strong
body of supporters behind us. Such
an institution is we'll worth great
effort 1t would add, in the course of a
few years. not only large number Of
students but at least two thousand
permanent residents who would be at
tracted to Denison by it's superior ed
ucational advantages. The situation
is not at all discouraging. On the con-
trary, Denison has the best rail facil-
tiles, the best location and the most
to offer of any of the towns mentioned.
By being early in the field and max
ing an organized effort we earnestly
believe Denison can win.

THE DEADLOCK.

Last week it was reported that the
famous senatorial deadlock was about
to end, that the name of Judge Deemer
had been presented and that an cleo
ton would speedily follow. The ed
itor thought he would like to see how
it was done, so the next day found him
in Des Moines. The report proved to
be false one, the deadlock is as tight
as ever and the senatorial succession
is as much problem as it ever was.
However, we were present at the TAX
ing of the ballot and as many OF our
readers have never attended a "joint
convention" it may be interesting to
tell exactly what takes place.
The joint convention of the house
and senate is held under authority of
the constitution of the United States.
For the moment the state legislators
are national officers and are an in
tegral part of the constitutional ma
chinery of the union. The sessions in
Iowa are held in the chamber of the
house as that is the more commodious.
The morning work of the two
branches drones along during the fore
noon with but little to indicate that
senatorial ballot is at hand save here
and there knot of members earnest
| ly talking. About eleven o'clock it
will be noticed, however, that the Wis,
itors are all drifting toward the house
side of the capitol. AS the hands of
the big clock near twelve the senate
chamber is we'll nigh deserted, save
OF it's members, while the press CALLER
les and lobbies of the house are crowd
ed. Just at noon the sergeant at
arms OF the senate appears before the
speaker OF the house, is recognized,
and states that the senate is waiting
in readiness to join with the house in
joint convention for the purpose of
the election OF a senator to the senate
Of the United States. The speaker
makes this announcement in turn to
the house and states that the house is
now adjourned, that the members of
the house will take seats upon the left
and the members of the senate on the
right. Thereupon there is a scramble
upon the part Of the members whose
regular seats are to be occupied by the
senators and then the senate files in,
two by two, many of them bringing
their wives and friends so that they
can occupy choice seats during the bal
lotng Lieutenant Governor Clarke |
proceeds to the speakers desk, sitting
beside the speaker and presiding over
the proceedings. The clerk at once
commences to call joint roll of the |
assembly, each member responding as
his name is called. The roll of alb |
sentees is recalled and the final num-
Der present is reported to the chair,
who makes the announcement and
states the number of votes, a major
ity of those present, which will be
necessary for an election. The lieu
tenant-governor then announces that
the joint convention will proceed to
ballot for the Office of United States
senator. The clerk calls the roll
Adams"
Mr.. Adams responds that he votes
fer Deemer.
The clerk then announces, Adams
votes for Deemer."
In this manner the entire roll is
callei and the vote of each member is
clearly announced by the clerk. Dur
ing the roll call there is almost abso Il

publisher not less than three cents
per pound, even in large quantities.
Thus the actual cost to the publisher
for the two items of postage and blank
paper alone is 60c plus $3.50 or $2.4O.
All the cost of soliciting, of editing,
printing, mailing; all the overhead
charges" OF every description are borne
by someone else-the advertiser. He
in turn gets his return from the pur-
chaser who gets "bit" nine times out
of ten and who is induced by specious
advertising to spend his money for
Inferior and in many cases for posi-
lively injurious goods. All this is at
the expense of the local merchants
who are being more and more injured
by this unfair competition which is
made possible largely on account of
the government subsidy in the shape
of postage at one-fourth cost.
The postottice department now pro-
poses to ask these magazine to pay
cost on their advertising pages at
least. 1t is ready to carry reading mat
ter at the old rate, but asks that the
advertiser pay at least cost price.
This is the bill against which Sen
ator Cummins is leading the fight. The
bill is directly in the interest of every
local merchant and is also in the in.
toract Of ovorv oit;1op DC ~ will x,,;,o
out the postal deficit which must now
be paid yearly from the public purse.
No magazine of worth or standing
would be injured by this new law. No
magazine that has real mission
would be affected. 1t would benefit
them by cutting off a lot OF inferior
competition, but it would drive some
of the miserable little catch-penny one
dOllar-for-ten-years magazines off the
map and it would be good radiance
Of extremely bad rubbish. For our
own part We believe that every tub
should stand on it's own bottom in the
postal service. We believe that the
local paper should pay at least cost
for the service rendered, especially
do we believe that the cheap maya
zine which has no mission save to at
tract dollars, should not be subsidized
by the government.
The very argument, that these pub
locations create large amount of
first and fourth class mail upon which
a profit is made by the government,
goes to prove that these magazines
are detrimental to the interests of
every small town and city in the coun-
try. We think our local merchants
and business men should join in ask
ing Senator Cummins to drop for a
time his hostility to the president and
vote for this meritorious bill.
