The law was passed by tbe lowa legislature last ■winter, and went into effect ou July 4. 1896. and prohibited absolutely the manufacture or sale of cigarettes in the State, or their importation into the .State, McGregor was arrested for importing cigarettes and selling them in.the original packages. and an application for a writ of habeas corpus was made to Judge Sanborn. The attorneys for the petitioner rested tbei* hrgumcnts on the decision of the Supreme Court'Of the United States in tbe famous prohibition case that weat up from the same State some years ago. after the prohibition law was enacted there. That decisWn is to the effect that the Federal constitution, having delegated to Congress the power to regulate commerce betweeh’'tttO several States, the Legislature had' fio power to prohibit the importation of liquors into the State, or their sale in the original packages by the importer. Attorney General Remley argued that the Legislature had power to prohibit the importation and sale of cigarettes. and cited other authorities to sustain his view. Judge Sanborn followed the decision of the Supreme Court ami granted the writ.

Col? It. Grey and Col. H. F. White to five months’ imprisonment each. The court was packed with people. Lord Russell's remarks were distinctly hostile to the defendants, lie Itegan by pointing out that there was no doubt the prisoners liad taken part in or abetted the proceedings at I’itsani and Mafeking. where the invading forces were mustered preparatory to entering the Transvaal. There was no doubt the-' expedition was of a military character, aitd whether it was aimed to overthrow the Transvaal government or to force a change of the laws in the interests of others; it was equally an expedition against a friendly State. SCARED TREASURY GUARDS. Two Explosions of Goh Brought the Guards Out in a Hurrv. Intense excitement was created in "Washington about 10 o'clock Monday night by two successive explosions at the east front of tbe treasury building. The noise was equal to the discharge of a 13-inch gun. ami the concus-iou was felt all along the opposite side of I'ifeentn street. The treasury guards turned out folly armed, thinking an attempt was beIng made to blow up the building. Within five minutes the second explosion occurred. and for a sow minutes there was considerable alarm. A conduit containin? electric wires extends beneath the sidewalk beside the treasury. Workmen hare been making excavations just within the exterior basement wall of the building for the location of elevator engines. By some means illuminating gas. perhaps from an old rusted pipe, had filled The conduit. The method of ignition of the gas has not been explained, but at all events it was set off.

The military infotmation division of the War Department has just issued a volume devoted principally to a description in great detail of the large military schools of Europe. It also includes a topical paper by Ix>rd Wolseley discussing the possibility of a hostile invasion of the British isles, and a curious publication of the regulatjoim for thg use oj war dogs jjj the German army. From the latter it appears that there are really such things as “dogs of war" and that it is a part of the functions of the German soldier to train carefully certain breeds of dogs to aid him in both hostile and defensive operations. The dogs are not intended actually to fight, but by training they are made of value in watching camp, in picket duty, in carrying dispatches and in looking for missing men. k Graia Rates Aire Cut in Half.

Richard Kingdon, an aged Wilkcsbqrre, Fa., man, went into tbe woods Monday to pick berries and lost his way. The forest is alive with wildcats, and his only protection was to keep continually moving.

His faithful dog remained with him and guided him toward a mountain stream that flowed under the rocks and bowlders. While resting nt this spot a shrill whistle of a locomotive came to his ears and he wearily tramped toward the sound. He reached the edge of tlnforest at length and was found by fishermen in an exhausted condition. It is doubtful if he recovers.
