The neighboring village Of Vienna has
license and anti. license contest on hand.
The question will be decided by the cleo
ton Tuesday If the temperance men are
victorious, no more saloons will be licensed
within the village limits. The contest is a

| We saw more men under the influence
of liquor, yesterday, than We have seen
during any whole week of the year past.
Among these were two or three men who
always lose their wits when excited by
liquor and make themselves obnoxious to al
