And the red-breasted young

Farmers are beginning to find out, how

evaporator will frequently save enough

is about days work. and If the season

NO CREDIT TO HIM.

Here is what is said of the anti-pro-
hihition element in Iowa, which will
hereafter receive lis express packages
of liquor under corn starch, picked
onions, and other harmless sounding
labels:
The prohibition law in Iowa went
into effect on the Fourth. The night
previous there was high carniyals in
the cities throughout the state.
Thousands of people got glo-
riousiy drunk. and thousands
more laid in supplies OF liquors suffi-
cient 10 last them a year. In Des

overburdened that they fell by the
wayside, No such time was ever
witnessed in Iowa or anywhere else.

the wyANDoTTe JUDGE.

The Kansas City journal says of the
Wyandotte district court that ycster-
day morning Judge Wagstatl ordered
all cases of violating the prohibitory
amendmerr stricken from the docket.
The reason for this action is The recent
decision of Judge Horton, of the SUI
preme court, that the information in
all whisky cases is required to be
signed by the county attorney. This
decision, made last week, will virtually
have the effect of annulling the liquor
law, inasmuch as parties other than
the county attorneN filing the in
formation will be required TO stand
the cost of prosecution if the ease is

REGULAR BUNS.

Our esteemed friend Genera. Rice,
of the Fort Scott Monitor, is inclined
to look upon the late decision of the
supreme court as one not tending to
affect the enforcement of the prohibi-
ton law, very materially. All we
have TO say is, then the average wit
ness and county attorneys must make
up their minds to DOWN little bulge
before they can become either compe-
tent witnesses or effective prosecu-
tors. Under that decision they must
take the ''pizen" themselves and be
able to swear ust to the particular
name il goes by That new race of
drunkards be not developed, we sug-
gest that the temperance committees
employ regular old buns, who would
not only know where to 90, but who
couldn't be fooled as 10 the particular
brand of the juice sold and drank.
Look again, General. The decision in
effect says the witness or the attorney
must know sure enough To swear TO it,.
