Law and Liquor.

PIERRE, :. ID. May 3.-The state is prac
tically now dry though capacious cellars
well located, will prevent any immediate
danger OF a draught. There are 9S4 saloons
in the state, and from advices received
every one is quietly closed and there is no
disposition TO evade the law. Most of the
saloons here closed very early and many OF
them were humorously placaded by their
proprietors. Dispatches from Watertown,
Yaukton, Sioux Falls, Mitchell, Rapid City
aud Brookings have been bulletlued here
and the same information is contained in
each as to the general saloon closing 1t is
also reported that sales for the past few
days have been very heavy, and that ar
rangements have been completed for an
extensive package trade from Minnesota.
Yaukton has made deal with its nearest
Nebraska neighbor, aud Sioux Falls has
prepared for narrow gauge road to
pavilion at the nearest Minnesota point,
four milss distant There is no intimation
from any quarter OF dispositian TO evade
or combat the law.
DIES MONIES, May 3.-The decision of the
federal supreme court that the state law
forbidding the sale in Iowa of liquors i'm
ported from other states is unconstitution-
al and void has brought the liquor question
to the front in Iowa politics again, and it
will form no inconsiderably factor in the
years campaign. The prohibitionists pro-
pose To take the question up and push IL in
every COuBTGSSlOUdl ulSITlCJ III Tue &c.
They claim that all that is needed now TO
make the law effective and give monopo-
ly of the traffic to the druggists under the
pharmacy permit law is federal legislation
of kind suggested in Congressman Kerr's
bill which provides that ARTICLES of COM
merce contraband in state shall not be
imported from another state and sold
therein. They intend to test every candi-
date nominated, and il found wanting tho
party will be asked 10 withdraw him or be
field.
PORTLAND, Me-, May 3.-The Maine sa-
loonkeepers are iubilant over the decision
of the United States supreme court in the
matter of original packages. They con-
| slider that it is equivalent to the nullifca-
tion Of the prohibitory laws and one that is
| legalzed, too. General Neal Dow, speak
ing of the decision, says: tin short, the
autho rites may do whatever the local
power deems necessary for the protection
| of the health, life and morals of the people
| and to secure the good of society, and this
right has always been recognized by the su.
preme court OF the United States. But this
decision OF a majority OF the supreme
| court ignores entirely that great controll-
| ing principle. This will lead TO one very
good result. Congress will now feel itself
compelled TO concede all the powers needed
| to the states.

ST. PAUL, May 5.-Severe sandstone
ragged in the northwest Saturday, accom-
panied by damage TO the newly planted
crops. The severest storms were at More
head and Ada MINI. torman, N. d., and
Bristol, 5. d., where the sand was whirled
about in such dense clouds that it was i'm
possible 10 see three rods ahead. Much of
the undrilled wheat Was blown from the
ground and will have TO be replanted
Osakisa, Herman and Crookstown, MINI,
experienced the same storm though less
violently. Its effects were felt all over the

GRAND RAPIDS, May 3-Dry oak lumber
OF good gu lity is at premium, and the
dealer who has a large stock is in the poss-
ession OF a bonanza which any Ice man
might envy There is big shortage in the
market and the shortage is becoming more
pronounced every day. The oak cut last
year was an average one; the demand and
consumption the past year has been far
above the normal. Oak is the most popular
furniture wood and enormous quantities OF
il have been used for this purpose, the FAC
tories in this city alone getting away with
between SO, 600, 900 and 40,0OO,O 900 feet, with
all the other factories in the country hard
at work i'm the same direction. Hardwood
finishes for house interiors have become
more popular the past year than ever be-
fore and oak is used more than any other
material. The demand for oak has in
creased during the year to such an extent
that an average cut of logs will hardly
supply the trade, hence the present short
age The prices have advanced within the
past three months from $l6 and SlS for
straight sawed oak to S24 and 81 and deal
ers who have a supply on hand do not like
TO let it go even at the figures quoted.
Further advances are expected before the
season closes.

away with a man who had given her five
cents. AT this moment the father, Lew
Supernaw, had reached his house for sup.
per, aud learning of the occurrence, started
in tho direction pointed out by the girl. At
o lonely spot known as the ''H,' her
screams were heard, and it was soon dis
covered that the fellow had brutally as
saulted his 6-year- old child. The enraged
father proceeded to pound the fellow, and
had kicked him till his head was almost
shapeless, when Const bic Steiner, who
had heard tho fracas, appeared, secured
the fellow and, by "a roundabout way, got
him to the lookup. Workmen gathering
from the closing factories threatened a
lynching. and the officials removed the fell
low to tho county jail for safe keeping.

Mr.. F. E. Randall, Eastern Passenger
Agent of the Detroit and Cleveland Steam
Navigation Company. has come a little
ahead of the blue birds and robins to
spend the summer in Pittsburg. The genial
hustler now wears a beard. but the old
smile about the face cannot be concealed
with black, hirsute growth.
"Did you ever see such winter?" he
gasped to a DISPATCH man at the Seventh
Avenue Hotel last night. "Why, think /
might as well have stayed here and taken
tourists, pleasure parties and hunters over
the lakes. At no time was there much ice,
and we quit running late in the fall out OF
Difference to an old time custom. But here
I am, aud we commenced to run a boat on

hasn't opened so early in 40 years. Ancient
mariners can recall several winters in the
misty past that were mild, but they doubt
if the prevailing weather was ever equaled.
Gas for tourist rates, don't think there
will be either an advance or decrease, GER
tainly not the latter. 1 want to say right
here that Pittsburg and Allegheny are the
best tourist cities IN the United States,
and the conditions are such that it should be
so. When the mills close down in July and
August, the workmen have made money and
they want to get out of the city Tor few
weeks. There are any number OF fishing
and hunting clubs in these two cities, and
find they tend to keep up good fellowship.
Certainly we look forward to a very busy
season, and we are making preparations for
the rush."
