certain gambling devices, and State
Tvs. Wilbur Johnson and certain intox-

which action is sought to be main
tanned is unconstitutional in that 1t
lis a violation OF article of amend
ments to the constitution of the Unit

deprives the defendant Of speedy
public trial by an impartial jury.
Third, the act is unconstitutional
in that It depr1ves the defendant OF
his property without due process OF
law.
The grounds given for the demurrer
Il the second case are that the court
has no jurisdiction to try or determine
the case for the reason that the de-
PENDANT Is entitled to jury trial and
that the same cannot be granted by

Deck Hand Who Fell off keokuk Near
Warsaw Last Night
Not Heard
From. ~.
BELIEVE HE DROWNED
Man Was Known to be Strong SWIM
mer But Is Feared He Perished
ed Last
Night.

A roustabout known as "Tony," a
white man employed on the steamer
Keokuk, is believed to have fallen
overheard while sleeping, and to have
drowned In the river few miles be-
low Warsaw, last night. The boat
reached Warsaw at about midnight.
Before reaching the landing yony"
had loaded a truck with key Of nails
and pushed it to the edge Of the boat
on the lower deck, waiting for the boat
to land.
The last time any one remembers
Of having seen him he was sitting on
the edge of this lower deck asleep.
He was not missed until the boat
reached the landing. 1t was then dis
covered that not only was the man
missing, but the truck and key OF
nails had also gone overheard. No
one saw the man go over the side
Of the boat, but just before reaching
the landing all the employees were on
the other eide of the boat and the
man could have fallen off in his sleep
without being seen or without the
sound Of the splash being heard.
When the man wis missed careful
search for him was made on the boat
and on the shore near where he is be-
lieved to have gone overheard. The
boat then came on to this city, stay
ing here during the remainder of the
night. So far as is known none OF the
officials of the company has heard any
thing further concerning him.
The man was strongly built and had
been employed on the boats for num-
Der Of years. He was known to be a
strong swimmer and it is believed
that if he did fall off the boat in his
sleep that he would have been able
to reach the shore without any trou-
BILE.
He was on the steamer Majestic at
the time It went down recently near
st. Louis, and was one OF those who
swan to shore at that time, a very
hard swimming feat. 1t is hoped that
the man will turn up within few days
safe and sound.

FOODS FOR HOT WEATHER
Matter That Is Worthy of the Most
Careful Attention That Can Be
Given IL.

Much Of the irritability of the human
race is caused by overindulgence in
unbalanced meals composed of badly
cooked foods.
The modern. thrifty housewife plans
her meals so as to secure the best diet
for her family. During the hot months
heat-producing foods-fats, sugar,
starches, heavy puddings and pies
and fried things should not be eaten,
but rather those which are easily di.
gested and cooling to the blood
The business in which the bread
winner of the family is engaged must
be considered when planning the
meals. The man or woman leading
sedentary life requires foods easy
of digestion and assimilation. This
class of people does not require as
much food as that engaged in muscu-
lar labor The latter class needs heav-
Ter meals, but these should be less bur
densome than in winter.
For both classes too much cannot
be said about masticating ones food.
The teeth were made for this purpose
and many ills would disappear if food
was not bolted into the stomach, which
is too often overtaxed.
Salads rich with mayonnaise or
boiled dressing should never appear
at dinner, but be served for luncheon
or supper. Green or fresh vegetable
salads with a simple oil and vinegar
dressing are the proper thing for din
ner at all seasons. Potatoes can be
eliminated from the menu some days
and in their place substitute macaroni,
rice, hominy, beans, peas and other
starchy getables.-Woman's World

Practically Only Workers of the East

1t is said that embroidery is the
mother of all needlecraft Some en-
thusiasts claim that it is as great an
art as painting or sculpture. There is
much in early history that has been
handed down to US in embroideries,
which have depicted upon them GER
tain events embracing historical per.
sons of olden times. When embroidery
was more or less young, the embroid-
erer was his own designer. AS many
men were interested some of the EN-.
broiderers. including both men and
women, frequently devoted their entire
lives to the work which authorities
have agreed in calling one of the. finest
of arts.
Now, however, in this rapidly twirl-
ing time. embroidery has degenerated
into nothing more than a pastime, and
rarely is there an embroiderer who
works lovingly and with thought of
posterity, except. perhaps, over a ba-
by's layette But for really artistic
embroidery, which is made with the
idea of its lasting more than one gen
