Act 20 Il Stands ID Detective.

Des Moines. April 3o.--Attorney
General George Cosson announced
to the federal. court at Keokuk
that he, will seek the repeal or re-
vision OF the state sterilization law. at
the next session Of the general assem-
bly,. He declares the law is not prop
erly construed, and. as 1t is now he
has no use for It, He refused to de-
fen6 the law in the court as.he told
the judges there is no necessity of pase.
ing upon the constitutionality of ~
law. Then he read from decision
which condemned courts which go ouo.
side of their sphere to pass upoo
statutes.
That the prisoners at the Fort Madi-
son penitentiary may be assured that
the state will not attempt to operate
upon them to render them sterile, j.
c. Sanders. warden. and Dr. Philpott.
prison physician, filed statements in
the federal court that they will abide
by the decision Of the attorney general
that the law does not apply to any OF
the prisoners now in the penitentiaries
of the state. The attorneys for the
prisoners insisted that the Jaw be tested
out anyway.
Mr.. Cosson declared that he has no
objection to the issuance of an injunc-
ton to prevent the operation of the
law, but he sees no necessity for it. as
the state has already agreed not to en-
force the statute.
The law Is defective in that it pro-
vides that every prisoner who has been
twice convicted of a felony shall be-
rendered sterile. Attorney General Cos
son says. He does not approve of this
section, for he says that men may
be twice convicted of crime and yet
not be an enemy to society. But an
operation OF the kind intended hy tho
law would prevent such men from
gaining homes and raising families, and
this is the influence which the state
says plays heavy part in the redemp-
ton OF men.
The court did not announce decfs-
ion in either the blue sky or the sterili-
zation law case.

REPRESENTATIVE Cattle Sales.
Stockers and Feeders.

Chicago. April 20.-Opening of the
grazing season in the southeastern
states and the appearance of grass ana
prospects of excellent pasturage thru
out the midwest, together with rgnt
receipts has stimulated the trade IN
stock and feeding cattle and given the
price list another boost that has car
rted most everything in the hsht
stocker and heavier stuff of grazing
class up to the best levels of the year.
Advances over a week ago measure
from 10 625 cents, fleshy strong weight
feeders showing the least GAIN White
all the light and medium priced steers
weighing from 900 pounds down are
fully 1925 cents higher, mostly IS
cents up.
The awakened demand gives strong
evidence of big shortage OF young
cattle for grazing the country over, and
tho prices are near record levels. the
situation is one that appears likely to
call for q continuance Of extravagant
prices for some time ahead. Young
| cattle Of desirable grazing class are
now in strong hands and with the

Little Rock, July 30.-A set
Element of the long-standing con-
troversy between the city of Lit
tie Rock and the water company
seems nearer contamination.
The company agrees to all the de-
mands that have been made by
the city for the improvement of
its plant to provide an adequate
supply of water for public and
domestic consumption. But it is
asking seventeen months in
which to install its new machin-
cry and this is causing some
complaints among the citizens
who ask immediate relief. There
are some, also, who think that
the company should be forced to
seek some other source of supply
than the Arkansas river. 1t has
mot been demonstrated whether
Ia sufficient supply can be gotten
from deep wells, and opinions
differ upon that subject. 1t is pre-
dicted that the time is coming
when the city will be obliged to
look elsewhere for it's water sup
|ply. The present franchise has
seventeen years to run yet.

DUCkER-SCHOTT
Prominent Young Couple We're
Married at Arlington Hotel
Tuesday Night.

A pretty romance was brought
to a happy elimination in Bates
vile at the Arlington Hotel on
Tuesday night, when Mr.. Walter
Quicker and Miss Carrie Schott
were united in marriage, j. A.
Holmes officiating, who delivered
a beautiful nuptial ceremony.
Miss Carrie Schott came to
Batesville a few days ago from
her home at Little Rock and was
a guest at the Arlington Hotel of
her uncle, Herman Schott, lead
ing Batesville merchant, during
which time she was greeted by
her many friends in this city.
Tuesday night Mr.. Ducker arriv-
ed in the city on the 1920 train
from Newport, coming from his
home at Poplar Bluff, Mo.
Nearly at the midnight hour
last night Mr.. Holmes was called
to the hotel and in the presence
of Miss Lula Hardy, Mr.. Ducker
and Miss Schott were married.
The happy young couple left on
the early train for their future
home at Poplar Bluff, leaving the
news of the quiet romantic mar
riage behind as a surprise for
their friends.
Miss Schott formerly resided
in Batesville, her father, Max
Schott, having been associated in
business here a few years ago
with his brother, Herman Schott,
and previous to that time con-
Quoting a mercantile business at
Newport. Miss Schott is an ac-
complished, beautiful and most
estimable young woman.
Mr.. Ducker, who is to be con-
graduated upon his choice, is a
prosperous and prominent young
business man of Poplar Bluff,
and is proprietor of the popular
Hotel Wright at that place.

shooters who retired quickly.
