tel, must answer certain questions
asked him in the district court or 90
to Jail. The state supreme court to.
day dismissed his petition for re-
view of the action of the district
court in ordering HIM to jail for con,
tempt of court because he refused to
answer questions propounded to him
on the trial of an appeal from the
county treasurer on assessments for
delinquent taxes in the sum of $25,
575.49 for the years 1904 to 1908, in
elusive.
These taxes were on stock in the
American Type Founders company.
Mr.. Wilmer said that he held the
stock in trust, but would not tell for
whom. The district court found him
guilty of contempt and ordered him
to Jail until he should answer. The
sentence was suspended, however
pending a decision of the supreme
court as to the justice of the order.
Since the high court has dismissed
the petition the order of the lower
court stands and Mr.. Wilmer must
answer the questions or go to Jail.
The appeal made by the state OF
Iowa to the supreme court for a re-
versal of Judge Theophilus' decision
in the Scott county district court,
declaring that the Moon law, regulat.
ing the number of. saloons, does not
apply to special charter cities has
been filed.
The lower court held that the Moon
law did not apply to Davenport, a
special charter city, because the law
did not so state in it's contest. The
state claimed in the mulct law, and
as the latter applies to special chart.
err cities the amendment also applies,
Whether Davenport shall have over
100 or only forty-three saloons de-
ponds on the courts decision.

Jokes With Husband, Ends Life.

Des Moines, May Special: Five
minutes after she had been joking
and evidently having good time
with her husband, Mrs. Marie O'Neil,
last night drank the entire contents
of an ounce vial of carbolic acid and
died one hour later at Mercy hospital.
She left no notes that could be found
nor any clue that would give any mo-
tive for suicide. From what little could
be cleaned from her husband, she
gave no warning of taking the acid
and the first he knew she had taken
almost the entire contents. He rushed
to her and dashed the bottle from her
hands, but too late to save her life.
