The Liquor Question in Iowa.

DUBUQUE, La, Sept. Assignments were heard in
the District Court, yesterday, on the application of
defendants for the removal to the federal court of the
petition for the temporary injunction against the
saloon keepers. CAPTAIN Adams. attorney for the
Prohibitionists, opposed the application for removal
on the ground that it set out merely conclusions of
Jaw, not facts which would GUST the court from its
injunction. Colonel Lyon, one of the attorneys for
he held that the petition did set out sufficient grounds
for removal. He questioned the morality of tie people
of the State of Iowa in inviting foreigners to their
State to build breweries. and then ~eracting laws to rem
der that property worthless. The judge decided in favor
OF allowing the removal of the injunction cases to the
federal court. This decision has been anxiously
awaited by both sides. and is considered another vic.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
M-ARTINsvlLLE, Sept. Notwithstanding the
inclemency Of the weather, the rain pouring
down nearly all day, the Union and Mexican
soldiers reunion was a success to-day Several
hundred of the old veterans thought if they
could brave the storms for three long years they
could for one day, and were in attendance.
Arrangements had been made to have the exer-
cises in a grove near the city, but they were
changed to the courthouse, which was crowded
with veterans and their friends. General Man
son was present, and seemed to be happy in
associating with his old comrades, some of them
of two wars.
After singing a number of the old war songs,
the address of welcome was delivered by Major
Levi Ferguson. 1t was an able effort, Astounding
in beautiful thoughts. His peroration was a
glowing tribute to the women of the land, who
sustained the soldiers through all their hardships.
He was followed by General Manson, in a
lengthy speech. AT the close of General Man
sons speech, the meeting was turned into a
soldiers love:feast, and several hours were spent
IN listening to the personal experiences of the
old veterans.
A resolution, asking that Colonel Manson be
appointed pension agent at the expiration of
General Kneff1ers term of office, was unani-
mously adopted by the old soldiers.
All in all, it was a red-letter day for the sol
diers of Morgan and adjoining counties, and
will be long remembered.

A HUGE
A Match for the Big Snake Recently Seen at
Pierceville.

West Point tGa.) Press.
Mr.. w. {. Cox left on last Tuesday for his
card factory at Waits mill, in Chambers county,
but a few days before shaking West Point dust
from his feet he told q huge snake story. He
met and became partially acquainted with his
snake near Tallapoosa-better known as Postum
Shout, HARRISON county, Georgia. We do not
hope to give the exact language of this famous
snake story, but it is about as follows:
Il was riding along the road when my horse
stopped and showed signs of fright. l looked
and saw what l supposed was a log, between
twenty five and thirty feet in length. Knowing
my horse was very much afraid of snakes, / ex-
amined to see if there could be one of these rep
tiles near the supposed log, when the fact dawn
ed upon me that the object was a huge snake. l
alighted and threw a huge stone at what l then
knew to be q snake, striking it near the head,
when he jumped his full length, twenty-five or
thirty feet. AS soon as he got still | counted
eighty-nine rattles and several buttons on his
tail. / met a gentleman afterward who told me
his snakeship had been seen near the same place
for fifteen or twenty years. and he had counted
as many as 1872 rattles on his tail. and that when
he opened his mouth he exhibited fangs about
six inches long, and I suppose he told the truth
at least | know he did about the fangs-I saw
them. When l went to the nearest house-four
miles away, and tried to get a gun to dispatch
the snake-I was told that il was no use to try
tc find him, for he only had certain times to
show himself-and | passed on to Postum Shout,
feeling thankful that my home was MT in tn
land of big raftlesnakes."
