The failure of the prohibitory amendment
in Iowa has thrown the temperance people
back upon high license for the cities and local
prohibition in the smaller towns, as the only
solution of the question for the present.
Many of the more moderate and reasonable
men are disposed to accept this as really the
best that can be done. 1t greatly decreases
the number of drinking places, improves
their character, increases the responsibility of
those who keep them, and makes the licensed
sellers interested in preventing the unauthor
lied sale, besides adding largely to the public
revenues. The price of licenses for the sale
OF wine, ale and beer ranges from 5000 to
$1,000 year. In Des Mones the saloon
keepers rebelled at first against paying the
$1,000 fee but twenty of them have thought
better of it and applied for licenses. Now,
with 40 per cent less saloons, the city will re-
ceive so per cent. more from license fees. and
the men who pay the high licenses will have
personal interest in seeing that none of the
lower and meaner resorts are permitted to do
business.

Judge Duffy has decided in his court at
Baltimore that the sale of good will with
out anything moro does not prevent the sell
er from setting up similar business next
door to the business sold by him. To pre-
vent that the purchaser must have an ex-
press contract with the seller to that effect
The law, he says, will not imply such cove
nant because it is in restraint of trade, and
for the same reason the sale of sign with
the firm name on it gives no exclusive right
to the purchaser in the absence of an agree
ment for the use of the firm name.

mysterious rumors of possible Fenian at
tack Special policemen have been sworn in,
the public buildings are watched night and
day, and fifty tons of ammunition have been
removed from the ordnance stores to the cta-
del. The authorities are close mouthed and
refuse to answer questions. The latest rumor
is that they sent detective to the late land
league convention in Philadelphia and he
brought back word that the day of the execu-
tion of Brady, the Phoenix Park assassin was,
to be the signal for combined attempt at re-
venge whenever and wherever opportunity
might offer. What originally started the scare
is said to have been story that vessels mann
ed by Fenians had declared from Boston for the
purpose of blowing up the shipping in Hall

wrongfully conceal or destroy the ballots or

to be present and vote, both at the elections

The blood is the foundation OF
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
II disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
BRowN's IRON BrTrERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part Of the system, and it will
not blaeken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively not injurious.
