Des Moines. April s-The state must
pay the costs in the capitol extension
cases, relieving John ". Rowley, of
Keosauqqua, according to the ruling of
the Iowa supreme court today. The
decision came on an application from
Rowley. The expense Of the two cases
is a little less than $500. The court,
when it held the capitol extension law
to be constitutional, ordered Rowley
70 pay the costs, Rowley objected ana
fled a petition asking that the e1-
pense be transferred to the stat,. At.
torney General CUsson fought his claim
on the ground that he had had his fun
and should pay the fiddler The court
today did not set forth the grounds Of
its decision.
One OF the most stuhbornly contest
&c cases brought to the attention of
the Iowa supreme court for several
terms was that of the State VS.. Glenn
Gulliver OF Usage, which was passed
upon this morning. With the decision
Of the court Attorney William H Sails
bury won a notable victory against
almost certain odds. CULVER was
lighting 70 save himself from prison
sentence for an alleged attack on E.
c. Clapper, banker OF Orchard, Iowa.
The supreme court finally permitted
him 70 pay a fine OF $500 or go to jail
for fifty days. The prior sentence had
been much heavier.
The city of Harlan lost in test
case before the supreme court this
week. An automobile left standing on
the streets OF a town or city is not be-
ing operated or driven" and does not
come under the requirements of the
city ordinances governing lights. the
supreme court ruled. The case was
on appeal from the decision o. Judge
4. B. Thornell. Shelby county district.
which dismissed the action brought by
the city against \. G. Kraschel. Attor-
aeys for Harlan contended that a car
when left standing should display two
lights IN front and one IN the rear OF
the car. The court said there was no
more reason for standing motor
driven vehicle to display lights than
any other vehicle.
TIE conspicuous feature Of the next

made a study Of this subject not only
as to Iowa but as to the entire contin-
ent and his paper will be illustrated by
pictures of various specimens that
have been found. During the glacial
epoch there were many animals that
roamed over what is now Iowa. These
included the elephant-like animals
such as the mammoth, and 1t is said
the wild horse was very common. The
evidences OF these animals are found
with great frequency in Iowa, and In
fact there is no part OF the country
where the glacial epoch witt its four
or Ave periods can be so well studied
as in Iowa. The report will also have
histories OF the Des Moines valley andn
the Cedar valley, as gathered from the
geological story.
| The PENNSYLVANIA railroad thru its
Iowa representative, z. NJ. Wentworth,
has made inquiry OF the legal depart
nent of the state as 70 responsibility
! of the carrier IN the matter OF ship
ments OF liquor consigned to persons
| in Iowa. Il was found that fnasmuch
as the Pennsylvania does not ship into
Iowa, but turns ali consisnments o!
whisky over to other railroads. il need
not be concerned about whether the
consignees are legally entitled to re-
ceive liquors in Iowa The laws o!
Iowa. under the license of the Webb
Kenyon interstate law. require thai
| shipments of liquor must be 10 person:
authorized to sell. They DO not for
bid shipments but only such ship
ments as are for illegal use. The rail
roads and express companies deliver
ling liquors in Iowa are insisting. II
all cases. upon some evidence accom-
panying the shipment. that the per
son who will receive the same is en-
titled to sell, but it is held that thu
connecting roads don't have TO look GU
for this little matter, as It is only a
the point Of delivery that the trouble
commences and prosecutions may fol
