SALOONS REHEARING

Des Moines, Jan. 2S.-The supreme
court of Iowa definitely and finally set
tied the famous Des Moines saloon
case when it ruled Tuesday afternoon
that it would not grant rehearing.

vigorous effort to have the supreme
court grant a rehearing Of the old case
claiming that the decision had been
based on proposition which had not
been argued.
This ruling makes certain the legal
victory won by the drys last Nov. e.

Illinois Statesman Passes
Away After Lingering
for a Whole Week
COULDN'T RECOGNIZE
KIN TOWARD LAST
Made Record in Serving His
Country That Few Men
Have Approached

Washington, D. c., Jan. 2S.-Former
Senator Shelby NJ Cullom of Illinois
died here today after an illness OF
more than a week. during which he
hovered between life and death. His
last words were wish that he might
have lived to see the completion Of the
national memorial to Abraham Lincoln
who was his personal friend.
Shelby Moore Cullom's death ended
fifty years of continuous public SER
vice that had made him a figure in
American national life and brought
him into official relations with every
president from Abraham Lincoln to
Woodrow Wilson, President Taft once
said of him:
why, here's my old friend Uncle
Shelby; he comes nearer connecting
the present with the days of Washing
ton than any one else whom | know
AS a ploughboy driving his fathers
oxen over the fresh prairie of Illinois
he had known and talked with surviv-
ors of the revolution and on the rug

pioneer hardships of family of twelve
children had built career that took
him to the Illinois legislature as a
member; speaker of the assembly, two
terms in the governors chair, service
in the national house of representa-
tives. and thirty consecutive years in
the United States senate.
His nearest living contemporary
probably is ''Uncle joe Cannon, whose
!. senior he was some seven years by
birth and some three years in national
service.
A product of the backwoods, Cul,
lom scraped together the rudiments of
an education gained by toiling over
rough primeval roads he became sue
cessively student at Mount Morris
academy, country school teacher and
a lawyer. being admitted to the bar at
Springfield in 1855.
When he became city attorney of
Springfield he launched upon a polite
al career, which for record of unbrok-
en- service, is unchallenged as exceed
ing that of any other American.
Amcng his first political experiences
was the novelty of being elected and
defeated at the same election. He
was elected to the legislature and de-
feated as an elector on the Fillmore
ticket. Then came the historic Lin
coin and Douglas debates and Cul-
lom's intimate association with Lin
coin, whom he followed into the ranks
of the republican party. He presided
over the session of the Illinois house
at which after Fort Sumter had been
fired upon. Stephen A. Douglas ap-
peared and made his dramatic plea for
the preservation of the union. During
the first of President Lincoln's second
term Mr.. Cullom came to the national
house Of representatives and began a
work which was practically interrupt
ed only when he served two terms as
governor of Illinois. Lincoln was as
sassinated soon after Cullom entered

was a member of the committee that
demanded the return of the presidents
body to Springfield. Then when the
country began to recover from what
