a Supreme Court Decision.


The objections and opinion of Solicit
tor Craig were quite lengthy. In the
main he quoted from supreme court
decision in which one Markie, Of the
Dubuque police force, had made 4
similar appeal and the supreme court
held that the civil service commits
sioners had no jurisdiction in the
case. The opinion of Attorney Craig
was that Fuqua had not been reduced
In rank, and that he had not been
named night captain through the regu-
i lar channel, despite the fact that the
city ordinances do not make any
provision for any such an office, and
that such change in the force where
a higher efficiency was desired, was
perfectly legal The opinion of Attor-
ney Craig, in brief, was. that Fuqua
was only an officer. the same as the
other members. of the force, and that
he had not been reduced in rank, but
on the other hand, had merely been
transferred from one place on the
force to another.
But Attorney Miller and officer
Fuqua appeared satisfied with the turn.

Robert Strand, an employe off the

on, there to ride until the finish OF
the dam, providing Judge Mcnamara
would give him permission to do 1t,
along with his liberty. He got ten
days for his attempted filtration with

Strand was up for lntoxication and
presented 4 very touching plea for
his liberty. Strand looks like a
Scotchman, talks like an Irishman
acts like an Indian and claims to be
an American. "I'll sign the pledge
until the dam is finished" if you'n
let HE go this time he promised, but
as Strand has been fighting losing
battle with John Barleycorn for the
past two weeks. the judge thought
that ten days wouldn't hurt him.

be judged by dis-interested men
competent to act, and for the best

II you irrigate, do it early
enough to cultivate after wards

Thin out the stalks to two in

well filled at tips, with small butts.
Deep kernels that are close and

The New Washrag Hat

The latest in feminine headgear
is 'washrag'' hat, a simple top
piece without any trimming but
the band. All that is necessary is
to take a twenty five cent Turkish
toa-el, sew it into the shape of a
hat and charge two dallers for it.
the advantage of such hat is ap-
parent. If one is caught in a rain
storm, all that is necessary is to
run the hat through a wringer,
press it with hot iron and put it
on and wear it, 1t can also be used
as a bath towel in the evening,
hung up to dry during the night
and worn to a picnic the next day.
By being carfui with it pood
stand cover can be made from it
after it has outlived its usefulness
as headgear, and then after long
and faithful service as stand
cover it can be regulated to the
front hall as door mat. One of
the best features of the "washrag'
is that it quite becoems any
pretty woman.
