HOW 1T WILL FIGURE.

Evidently the matter of prohibition is
to figure in the campaign among the
leading factors. The temperance forces
and the w. c. T. u. won signal victory
at the ballot box year agO-carrylng
all but half dozen of the counties of
the sixty or more that voted on the
question. The law became operative In
all of them about the first of the year,
and six months test has been had of
its efficacy What is the result? 1t is
not anywhere asserted that the cOnrts
have been unfriendly. hejudgeS have
even, in same instances, displayed
special determination to have this law
thoroughly enforced. The supreme
curt brushed away all distractions, and
the provisions and methods are clear
and explicit and the penalties stringent.
But if there are counties where the law
has operated to accomplish its abstemi-
Gus purpose, they are small minority,
and without towns of much size.
In most of them petitions are being
signed to secure a submission of the
question again in November. But one
third of the vote cast at the preceding
election is requisite to secure new
trial at the polls. There seems to be no
difficulty in obtaining this in any of the
countieS-in fact, many of the petitions
contain more than majority of the
voters. These papers allege that the
law has failed to prohibit effectively,
and the SignerS wish to substitute
stringent high license law. The opthal-
1ln I,o ,tcfn IN
the Unsuitable appetite in most of the
counties, while in few the saloon
doors have swung wide open. Apathy
seemed TO take possession of the local
option forces generally after the victory
at the polls. They had got the statute,
and seemed to expect that the officers
of the law would look after its enforce
ment, as they do in the case of other
penal enactmentS. There have been
spasmOdic assaults upon the diffuS-
erS of liquid elements, and just now in
some of the larger counties, there is a
disposition to bring down the mailed
hand with vigor that promises good
deal of at least temporary annoyance to
the wet dealers. But on the whole, the
active sentiment is adverse to the law
and will wipe it out at the ballot box in
many counties. probably the ma
jority, unless the people who led
in the crusade of 'S7 again buckle
on their armor and the good la
dies of the w. c. T. U. come into the
arena with their inspiring banners and
hot coffee and dOughnutS. If they mean
to save the ground they have captured
so arduously, they must be prepared for
a contest such as they have not yet had.
1t isn't good year for prohibition,
as neither of the leading parties
have given it encouragement in
their platforms, and there are so
many other questions in the Dakota
mixture. 1t is given out that a strong
effort will be made to broaden local
option into a law covering all the
counties-that is to make all dry by
act of the legiSlature-buti it will hardly
succeed. The popular temper isn't de-
veloping on that line just at present.
1t is possible that the Republican con-
vention may be induced to define some
policy on this question, but will be
more likely to put off the Prohibionists
with an imitation of the Chicago tag.

HOW HE MANAGED 1T.

A widow, Mrs. Alice Stevens. appeared
before Judge Walker and asked his assist
ance in recovering for her some money
which she claims she has been deprived Of
by man named John Contrell. She is a
was woman and supports three little
children by her labor. This man Contrell
has been living at her house and evidently
managed to ingratiate himself in her af-
lection and confidence. He succeeded in
borrowing little sums along and, at last,
when the widow was hard pressed by her
landlord she scraped together with the
greatest effort money enough to pay her
rent. this she intrusted to Contrell to pay
over. but, it, appears, instead of so doing
he pockets the money, and appropriates it
to paying transportation charges upon his
household goods to Independence. Mo.
Mrs. Stephens hears of this move of her
supposed friend asks for the interference
of the justice, and has the goods stopped.
Judge Walker says that this is not the
first time that this man has been guilty of
such offense He seems in fact to manage
to subsist ~ just such means. Last fall
widow in the south part of the city had
him arrested for obtaining from her in a
very similar manner 500. Still other cases,
he saws, has been Indirectly brought under
his observation.

planning MILL BURN ED.

Sunday morning at four fifteen
O'Clock fire was discovered in Peckham
& Whitcomb's planning mill on Third street
lust across the Santa Fe track. There was
no Waterman about the building and the
fire was first seen by men on the switch en-
CINE and by them the alarm was given.
But when the hose companies reached the
scene the fire had such start that all
IL err efforts at extinguishing it proved in
vain.
The building and machinery was thus
totally destroyed, entailing loss which
Mr.. Whitcomh yesterday afternoon stated
would reach 81 500.
The mill was erected about year ago
and was building 36x50 two stories in
height with an engine house 20x24. There
had been put in the building only this
spring about 81 200 worth of fine machin-
cry.
The origin of the fire is a mystery. The
building and contents were insured in the
City of London for about one.third their
value Messrs. Peckham & Whitcomb ey-
pect to rebuild as soon as possible.

borings for natural gas, where salt water
(holding in solution 6S per cent. of salt)
was struck, is certain to underlie Wichita.

Fort WORTH, Tex, July 10,
A convention of delegates from the

deep water port on the coast OF Texas has
been called to meet at Fort Worth, Texas,

this object. The advantages to accrue to
the people of the entire country west OF
the Mississippi river by establishing
a L; Dor on the Texas coast,
which will admit sea-going vessels OF
the deepest draught. must be patent 10
every mind that has given the subject care
full consideration. The action of congress
heretofore in making limited approprla
tions for the different harbors on the lexas
coast, has not resulted in practical bene-
fit to the people of the country, and the
hope is INDUCED that by careful lnvestiga-
ton and calm deliberation some one point
can be selected, and by uniting and con
centrating the efforts OF the representa-
tives of the people upon given point, an
appropriation can be obtained sufficiently
large to secure harbor on the south
western coast which will be common

rapidly growing section of the Union, and

seek the markets of the world by the
shortest and most direct route.
To this end you are cordially invited and
requested to send one or more delegates
from your organization, municipality or
legislative district TO this convention. Ar
rangements will be made with the railway
companies for reduced rates to delegates
and Others who attend. AS the time is
