Wellington The Intelligencer mentioned
last week that Judge Filing denies the allie
cation made by the ladies of Wellington, who
he thinks mlsrepresented him when they
said they were told to go again for a second
hearing. The ladies understood the Judge
to say to go again with any evidence they
could procure, as the case was to be decided
that day. and they were OF the opinion that
additional evidence could be taken. They
neither wish to offend Judge Filing or the
other judges, and have no intention of mis-
representing them. We thiIk the misunder-
standing arose on the judges part, from the
reading of an article a few weeks ago, writ
ten by your Wellington correspondent who
casually mentioned that the ladies were told
to 90 for q final hearing. 1t was simply a
misused term which the correspondent re.
grets has caused any unpleasantness, but
trusts that old Lexington, county court and
all, will be so thoroughly aroused and con-
WINGED by the eloquence and Il uths that Capt.
Shields is presenting. that there will be no
need for a second hearing, and have it decid-
ed as it was last March.

Higginsville, NO., August II. "A strong ef-
fort is being made by the temperance ele-
ment Of this community against the
granting Of dramshop licenses by the
county court. Al application was made
last week by Joe. Kohnenberger to the city
authorities for saloon license, and pending the
issuing of his license he opened his doors. A
remonstrance had been filed and Mr.. kohnen'
berger was arrested and fined $40 and costs
for selling liquor without q license. At 6
special meeting of the board Of aldermen
Monday, the case was considered and license
refused. This encouraged u general remon
STRANGE against the granting Of any drsmshoI
licenses in this city by the county court which
was circulated here to-day. Upward OF 10.
signatures were secured. 1t will require 22'
names of qualified voters either to secure Of
prevent the issuing of q license, and boil
Sides are hard at work 10 secure the required
majority. The temperance men have VOL
one victory so far, and are confident OF sue
cess in the end, while the saloon men ar
equally confident. The county court will
meet the first Monday in September, and it i
believed the matter will then be decided.
