the United States to the full extent of
his resources as commander-in-chief of
the state militia."
He is reported as having advised
resrstance to the order of the Supreme
Court, saying that the object of the
removal of the Wilsons as railroad
commissioners 'was to precipitate a
conflict between the State and Federal
judiciary. "I will go to jail," he is
quoted a saying, "to make the ques
tion of Federal usurpation the para
mount issue in the next State cam
paign." The Best Yet.

THE CZAR'S ULTIMATUM.
He Tells the Sultan Prince George
Must be Governor of Crete.
London, Feb. 2. The candidature
of Prince George of Greece for the
Governorship of Crete has been the
shuttlecock of the foreign correspond
ents for some time. A dispatch from
Berlin says that the Constantinople
correspondent of the Frankfurter Zei
tung now declares that.. M. Zinovleff ,
the Russian Ambassador v to "Turkey,
has handed the Porte a note received
from St. Petersburg declaring it to be
the unshakable will of the Czar that
Prince George be appointed. The note
added that his appointedhient was ne
cessary for urgent political reasons.
If the Sultan persists in his oppisition
to Prince George, Russia will re
nounce all further initiative at the
Yildiz Kiosk.
The note seems to have threatened
the withdrawal - of the warships at
Crete, by which withdrawal, it was
added, the lives of all the Mussulmans
there would be endangered, and, the
note continued, "Russia will know
how to prevent the landing of fresh
Turkish troops."
It has been already reported from
credible sources that the -Sultan has
twice positively refused to accept
Prince George as Governor of the is
land, basing his opposition on the
temper of the Turkish nation. ,It seems
that something must soon break. N.

No Law Against Bigamy.
Des Moies, la., Feb. 2 The discov
ery has been made that bigamy and
even polygamy are not prohibited un
der the Iowa laws. Of course there is
no sanction for a violation of the
laws that obtain in other states with
regard to matrimony, but as matters
now stand there is no provision here
for the prosecution of a bigamist.
The situation is due to a curious
omissiorr'in the revised Iowa code,
which prescribed no penalty for" big
amy and does not prohibit a plurality
of wives.. The defect will be remedied
by the legislature.
Spanked The School ma' am.
Joplin, Mo., Feb. 3 Miss Ollie

that the teacher failed to conquer him.
On Monday Miss Maddox again at
tempted to chastise the obstreperous
boy, when his 14-year old brother
went to his assistance-; The two then
gave their teacher a spanking. The
affair created a sensation at- Avilla
and the young woman concluded to
resign.

They Did Not Drink.
The story is told of two Mormons
elders as happeningin a town not far
distant, in which one of -their doctrines
was given a practical test. The story
relates that especial emphasis had
been made in their sermons upon the
doctrine that, if they drank any deadly
thing it should not hurt them; the
Lord being their especial protector.
At the end of the sermon the pastor,
who had courteously loaned them his
church, arose and said: "Now breth
ren, we have listened attentively to
this doctrine and if by practical test
you can demonstrate this we will ac
cept the doctrine. I have here a quan
tity of strchnine which I will mix in
water and if you drink it and survive
we will believe." It is reported that
they did not drink.- Winston Journal.
