JEFFRRsoNvILLE, IND, February 20.
The determined and persistent war
upon saloon keepers in this city by the
women continues. Every day. they are
out revisiting them, singing hymns,
praying, and pleading with them to
abandon the business. Two weeks
have passed since their warfare began,
and yet not one saloon has been closed.
The ladies. however, believe they are
arousing a moral sentiment that will
reap rich reward before long.
