TEST CASE.

| An agreed case has been made up to test
the legality of the prohibition amendment
which was recently passed in Iowa. which
will prove of genuine interest. 1t will be
| heard before the District Court, which
convenes at Davenport early in September.
The case is entitled Kolhlert LANCE versus
John Hill, and is to recover $113. The
petition recites:
That between the Sd day of August and
the 18th of the same month 1889, tire
plaintiff did, at the city of Davenport
county of Scott, and State of Iowa, at the
request of the defendant sell and deliver to
him, the defendant, from time to time,
beer, in the quantities and at the prices and
at the dates stated in the bill of particulars
That the purchase price of the beer was
and is the sum of S113. That the defen-
dant, though often requested to do so has
neglected and refused to pay for the beer
or any part thereof; that the amount is
still due and unpaid. Suit is therefore
brought to recover the sum named, with
interest and cost of suit.
The answer of the defendant admits t's
sale of the beer as shown and stated in the
petition, and says that the plaintiffs ought
not to recover in this action, for they at the
time the beer was sold were the proprietorS
of a brewery situated in Davenport and
were then and there engaged In the bust
ness of brewing and selling beer, and that
the beer sold by plaintiff was sold as bey
efage, and with the intent that it should be
sold in Davenport by the defendant as n
beverage, contrary to the provision of sec
ton 20, article l, of the constitution of the
state of Iowa, which reads as follows:
No person shall manufacture for sale or sell, or
aE hava inav
whateyer, including ale, wine and beer.
Wherefore the defendant alleges that the
contracts for the beer are and were abso
lutely void and of no effect For these
reasons Mr.. Hill asks judgment for his
costs.

Tonser was the first case, and the accusation
was that of drunkenness. Timothy dis

upon his refined tympanun. He woui dpre-
fer to have it disorderly conduct. The court
thought that $5 and costs would pay the bill
and that amount was imposed. John Lam
bert was likewise suffering from an over
dose of liquid poison, and for this indiscre-
ton he was fined So and costs. Tom O'Hara
was comfortably full of the liquid destroyer

teen years old. but in spite of his youth
he has fondness for strong drink that
will surely bring him into trouble. His
mother complains that her brother has
been in the habit of sending the boy for
liquor, and that the boy often makes use
of this we'll known fact to secure liquor
on his own account. Last Friday he WIS.,
tied saloon, and purchased fifteen cents
worth of poor whisky. He carried not to
his uncle, but slipped the contents of the
bottle as becomes the habit of an old to-
per. After indulging in the liquor, he be
came intoxicated, and made fool of him
self generally. His maternal ancestor
was naturally troubled about the affair,
and visited the States Attorney to know

THE cnNcERr.

The band concert last Saturday evening
in Union Park as rendered by BiehPs band
was a most enjoyable affair, and attracted
1000 people to that square. The people
now recognize the fact that the evening
concerts are an established institution, and
their liberal patronage testifies their hearty
appreciation of the musical entertainment.
The concert caused the street to be crowd
ed, and the business men and all classes of
citizens were convinced that the affair is of
great benefit to the place. Too much
praise cannot be awarded to the few ener-
getic men who took hold of the matter and
made it success In the same connection
it should be mentioned that the electric
lamps used in the park were generously do
mated by Nj. G. Mills, who is always ready
to do his share of any work in prospect
that is for the benefit of the city. The
next concert will probably be given next
Wednesday evening.

as named in the certificate are G. Spiedel,
M. G. Mills, T. Gait, A. C. Dart. Oliver

asked in a few days to put in bids for the
work Oliver Alison, president of the new
company will leave for Chicago and Ell
gin this evening, where he viii complete
the contracts for the towers and
the electrical generator and other
apparatus. The managers of the company
state that they will be ready to commence
work on the towers during the present
week, and express wish that the location
of the different towers may be decided
upon at once. The only disputed towers
are those on Seventh and Twenty first
streets. and it only requires meeting of
the county to settle the trouble. 1t has
been suggested that it would prove good
thing if the large engine at the Cable water
works could be utilized in furnishing pow

of WEIGH for completely in the same, is the
second sensation of the affair. 1t will be
remembered that the bank robbers were

HIS ARREST
1t is learned through police circles that
the arrest of WEIGH was effectedin a rather
peculiar manner. He arrived in Peoria inn
mediately after the crime, and instead of
visiting his wife he took up his abode with
woman of the town. This conduct nat
urally incensed his wife, and led to quar-
rel between them The wife is reported to
have said that Welch was not true to his
marriage. A detective from Chicago who
was working up the case around Peoria,
learned that Welch was paying his atten-
tons to certain woman of the town, and
had reasons to suspect that a correspon-
dence was carried on between them. The
detective soon became an admirer of the
woman. and by spending a considerable
amount of money soon became one of her
prime favorites. A letter was secured by
her from her absent admirer Welch, and
from this the detective learned where he
was located. He left that night and ar
rived at the little town in New York, where
WEIGH was rusticating. The arrest was
Immediately effected, and they are now on
the way to Kewanee. 1t is said that when
arrested WEIGH had large amount of
money in his possession.
