OPPIOIAL PAPER OF CITY AND OOUNTY
It Is to be regretted that at this
Christmas time, when there should be
peace on earth and good will toward
men, the two great English speaking
nations of the world should be engaged
in wars of conquest.
During the past week the English
armies in South Africa have been get
tingiibeir breath. They have not at
tempted to molest the Boers who are
Btill besieging the English garrisons at
Ladysmith^Kimberleyand^Uafinking.
The supreme court of Illinois has
decided that the ordinance of the city
,'ofChicogo, which prohibited depart
A ment stores from Belling meats, grocer
ies, provisions and liquors, is unconsti
tutional and void. This is certainly a
big victory for the big stores.
Some are In favor of amending Sena
tor Mason's resolution expressing BJRCN
patby for the Boers. They argue that
the Boers are not In need of sympathy
and that if we believe that they are
fighting for what is right, we Bhoula
tend congratulations.
their
do atr with
safety. He is a great beast
of burden, sure footed and strong, but
the English will find that it will require
more than his weight in wild cats to
keep him within range of the Boer ar
tillery.
The supreme court of Illinois has de
cided that the ordinances of the city
council of Chicago regulating the busi
ness of department stores are not con
stitutional and are void. One of the
ordinances prohibited the sale of meats,
butter, lard, vegetables and other pro
visions in the same building where dry
goods, clothing, jewelry and other arti
cles-were 'sold. The other ordinance
prohibited the sale of spirituous and
malt liquors in stores where dry goods
were sold. The cases against several
.. proprietors of department Btores were
tried before a justice of the peace, from
whose judgment an appeal was taken
to the criminal court. From the judg
ment in that court an appeal was taken
to the supreme court, which holdB that
the multifarious business of depart
ment stores is legitimate and i° entitled
to the protection of the courts.
Bight the Wrong.
The Waterloo Reporter sizes up En
gland's position in South Africa in thib
way:
The canker that is gnawing' at her
vitals Js the lust of money. If she sees
additional gupremecy for her commerce
in the possessions of other- and weaker
a tpeoplea lands under the name of cbris
tianity,-progress and civilization she
marshals her ships and proceeds to
their conquest. If lt la gold that is in
sight,-under the samtf -banner of pro
gress and civilization she goes forth to
war,regardless of right, asin the case
of South Africa. It is the lust of
money.

DWIGHT L, MOODY &EAD.
Fbe Famous Evangelist Succumbs to
Ifeart Trouble.
East Northfield, Mass.. Dec. 23.—
The death of DwightL. Moody, the
great
evangelist, which occurred here at
noon yesterday will wake a sense of
torrow In the hearts of thousands of
people in many lands. His death was
caused by weakness of the heart, his
serious illness dating from his break
flown at Kansas City some weeks ago.
But it was not expected until Thurs
day by the members of Moody's fam
ily and immediate circle of frlendsthat
death would be the result of his ill
uess. The cause of death was a gen*
eral breaking down due to overwork.
Moody's heart had been weak for a
long time, and exertions put forth in
connection with meetings in the west
last month brought on a collapse from
which he failed to rally.
New York, Dec. 23.—Ira D. Sankey,
who for twenty-seven years was asso
ciated in evangelist work with Moody,
was greatly affected at the news of
bis death. To a reporter Sankey told
of his work with Moody from the time
they Urst met, of their tour through
England in 1873, and of their preach
ing and singing in the United States.
"You may say," said Sankey, "that in
the death of Mr. Moody the world has
lost one of the greatest and noblest
men of the age. I have labored with
him for the lust twenty-seven years,
traveling with him by land and
and

Des Moines, la., Dec. 23.—Wilson L.
Ogden, of Woodbury county, has be
gun mandamus proceedings to compel
Governor Shaw to request the federal
goverment to patent to the state cer
tain lands in Woodbury county which
Ogden claims are swamp lands within
the meaning of the law. If these are
held to be swamp lands the state must
give them to the county in which they
are located and Ogden has arranged to
buy them from the county in case it
secures them. The governor's de
mand that they be set off as swamp
lands Is the only thing needed.
The governor has refused to take
this action, claiming that such lands
are not swamp and should belong to
the state 'rather than to the counties.
The matter will be tried to the highest
courts and-it-will be decided wheth
er ail the partially dried lakes in the
state belong to the state or the coun.
ties. Speculators have done an im
