Local option in Madison county was
knocked out by Judge Fox last week
The following are the grounds upon
which it was held invalid:
1st. The county court of Madison county,
as the testimony shows, was not legally
organized court for the purpose of submit
ting the question to the voters of this couu-
tv, for the reason the required notice was
not given to authorize the court to meet, or
if given there was no record of, nor proof of
notice on record, which was necessary TO
confer jurisdiction of the matter.
I'd. The record fails to show that the
county clerk called to his assistance two
judges of the county court, who constitute
a canvassing board. for the purpose of cast
ing up and counting the returns of said To-
cal option election, and it also fails TO show
that the result of said count, by said board,
was certified to the county court as required
by statute, but instead it shows that the
county court In session undertook this duty,
which it had no power or authority, by law,
to perform.
Sd. The court failed to make an entry of
the certified result of the returns of said
board of canvassers.
4th. The notice given by the county
court Of the result of said election was not
in accordance with the Law, as /: did not
certify that the published sstsult of such
election was the certified returns made by
the board of canvassers, to the county court,
but it appeared from such notice that said
county court had found, after an examina-
ton and count OF the returns of such cleo
ton, the result to be as published.
This is in accord with a recent de-
cision made by the Kansas City Court
of Appeals. 1t is fair to say that it
will not, when applied, leave single
local option county in the State.

Speaking of the local option cases
against Mcclellan and others in Wash
ington county, DIR. Hall, in the hide
pendent, says:
In the trials that occurred in this county,
there was no effort to set aside the law, It's
validity being admitted and the reliance
seeming to be upon the usual methods
adopted by the traffic, that of buying off or
intmidating witnesses and jurors. This
eliminated in disastrous failure, by the
final finding of verdict of gully and assess
ment of an $S00.n0 fine. While this verdict
has never been enforced it served the pur-
pose of closing the saloon and driving its
keeper from the county. a change of venue,
as stated in a former issue, having been
granted, this case will come up the last of
this month, at Ironton. We learn that the
defense to be made is upon the validity of
the law, and we are sorry to say there Is
possibility that fiimsy tachnicality may be
the means of setting the law aside.

OUININE OVERCOATS.

Few people have any Idea of the
amount of quinine that is consumed in a
period of time or of that sold by single
dealer in the drug. Extravagant stories
have been told by individuals as to the
amount of the alcholoid which they
have consumed, and if it has not been
quantity sufficient to put them in a
wooden overcoat it would probably,
converted into cash, provide comfort
able top coat for winter wear. This time
of year overcoats are out of season,
ano ne question uppermost is how to
keep cool and where. Rest and recrea-
ton come in that line. Thoughts of this
kind should lead one to inquire of any
agent of the Minneapolis & st. Louis
Ry. as to summer rates to tourists points
in all parts of the country, or for short
fishing excursions. Any special infor-
nation will be cheerfully furnished up
on application to G. M. Pratt, G. 7. & P.
A., Minneapolis.

THE Minneapolis Times which is now
full-pledged advocate of Democracy,
says that it will represent the highest
tendencies and best elements of its
party, mot the Democratic party of the
past, but the Democratic party of to-
day." We would like to ask our worthy
contemporary wherein the Democratic
party of to-day is better than the Dem
ocratic party of yesterday? There has
been no visible reformation of party
principles or party prejudices. The
same old gang rules the party to-day
that managed it twenty years ago. Its
life and strength is maintained
through Southern methods of coercion,
ballot box stuffipg, and disfranchise-
ment of the colored vote as of wore. 1t
believes in legislating for the benefit of
European pauper labor and against 1.-The
interests of Americanlabor. 1t believes
in building up foreign manufactures
and tearing down American. 1t is the
party of obstruction and DEPRESSION. 1t
objects to everything American and ad.
yocates everything foreign. 1t will in
future as in the past, endeayor to tear
down the American fabric of Protection
which has made the United States the
greatest of all the nations, and raise the
standard of British Free Trade which
means disaster and ruin. The South
the strong and controlling arm of De-
mocracy-is as much in the saddle to-
day as of old, and the Times, if it does
not already know 1t, will be made to
feel the force of this statement. The
Democratic party does not represent the
aims and interests of free American
people. 1t represents the aims and in
terests OF foreign potentiates and is con-
trolled by Southern Brigadlers. There
is no new Democracy for the Times to
flee to, and it will find, if it travels the
path of Democracy, that it will have to
paint the devil in robes of light and
portray honest men in the garb of ruff
ans" If it fails to do so there will be
no room for it in the field it has chosen.
Its intentions may be pure, but Its COM
pany is not in sympathy with its de-
clared purposes.

DAIRY PRODUCTS.
Some Facts Set Forth by the Report OF
Minnesota's Dairy Com issioner.


Minnesota's Dairy Commissioners.
ST. PAUL, Dec. 9.-The third biennial
report of the state dairy and food COM
missioner, to be presented to the legisla-
ture of 1891, is now prepared. 1t is
quite bulky volume, and contains in
teresting statistics. Commissioner Ives
has been at the head of this department.
for four years. At the time he was ap-
poined over go per cent. of the milk Of
fered for sale in the state was adulter-
ated. This has been reduced by the
efforts of the commission to per cent.
Oleomargarine has been vanquished, and
the cheese industry is vastly grown and
improved.
The report shows that nearly 10000
samples of milk have been tested in
Minneapolis during the past eighteen
months, and that in st. Paul nearly the
same number have been inspected.
The following is statistical list of
dairy products and dairy cows in the
state, covering period of four years,
showing the increase in this branch of
industry:
Number of cows in the state in 1886,

Mrs. Plymat was not at all fayorably
impressed with the way they have of
doing things down in Georgia. The
darkey element is prominent and relied
on for the performance of all labor and
very poor performance it is according
to her observation. The general plan of
Southern life is at total variance with
that of this latitude. Mrs. Plymat says
that no lnducement would tempt her to
live in the South.
Mr.. Friedrich Roe, father of Geo.
Roe, is obliged to return to England on
account of the poor health of his wife.
He will leave on Tuesday and reach
home before Christmas.
M. M. Pratt of Sterling, has been ex
perimenting during the last year in the
hog line, with the following result: The
figures are taken from memorandum
kept by Mr.. Pratt and he challenges any
hog raiser in the State to go him better.
Oct. 10th, 1889, he bought five sows
whose combined weight was 1856 lbs,
May 10Th, 1890 these sows dropped 81
pigs, July Goth sold sows, weight 1884,
showing gain in weight of 1,3l0 lbs
Nov. End sold the 81 pigs weight S,34C
lbs, showing total gain of $3.50 lbs in
the short space of Is months.
The long predicted time of better
prices for farming land in our particular
locality, has at last arrived. We have
mentioned from time to time sales thai
have been made at a considerable ad.
vance over former prices, but this week
we report sale that will have the ten,
dency of lifting prices up to figure
that will be highly satisfactory to those
who have land to sell. The sale we re.
fer to, was made by John A. Willard tc
Mr.. Rehberg, and our local readers will
recognize the place when we say it il
the quarter in Beauford that Johr
Young formerly lived on and on which
Mr.. Marcus has farmed for the last five
years. 1t is located about a mile and 8
half north east of the village. The con
sideration was 500 per acre-$4,65O fol
the quarter. There is no building O.
any account on the place and the quar-
ter has been considered very ordinary
one. The purchaser is from near Chica
90 and is son-in-law of Mr.. Chris
Wick. We understand that it was {
cash sale.

of the Bad Lands are sending the women
and children into this town."
Shortly after this letter was received
telegram came from the same place
dated Monday, saying: "Ranchmen and
Indians had slight skirmish. The sit
uation is becoming serious, for the set
tiers are unarmed. Can you supply
fifty good rifles and ammunition so that
settlers can defend themselves" Gen.
Miles will leave for the scene of the In

The FREE Press acknowledges the
receipt of copies of the Daily
Cleaner, published at Kingston,
Jamaica, sent us by Hon. w. R.
Estes, U. S. Consul at that place. Like
all other foreign publications the Cleaner
takes umbrage at the new tariff law, and
declares that the late Republican defeat
is but reflex of its "unpopularity in
every country in Europe" The paper
states truth when it says that 'the
United States has based its prosperity
in days gone by on protection, and none
can deny that the policy in it's ground
work has been correct one for the
United States but it shows its animus
and real opposition to the American
policy when it declares that 'the author
of this pernicious bill must have enter
tanned strong feeling against France,
Germany and England, for there are
evident traces of retaliation" The fact
that Major McKinley's tariff bill is pure
ly American in its benefits, causes the
free traders of other countries to squirm.
But then that does not follow that the
Republicans should cast aside the very
principle which our Jamaica newspaper
declares to be correct one for the
United States" In closing the article
referred to in this foreign journal, the
editor says "But leaving this part of the
question for future developments, we
are firmly of the opinion, that the. Nc
Kinley bill is short-lived. The result
of the recent election the news
of which reached us by the 'Alene'
on Saturday convinces us that the
American people have already placed
their foot firmly on the throat of the
bill. 1t may have hard struggle for
life as the great Republican party will
not throw up the sponge so easily, but
the Democratic party with majority of
over one hundred will quickly consign
IL to the tomb of the Capulets.' The
same opinion is fondly nourished by all
our foreign countries-'that the McKin-
ley bill will be short. lived" but then
they may be disappointed. "The Dem
ocratic party, with majority of over
one hundred" will not be able to 80
"quickly consign it to the tomb of the
Capulets," as the Jamaica editor thinks.
The Republican party, it may be proper
to here to remark, will continue to do
business at the old stand, and IN '92 the
people will brush the Democrats aside
with as much ease as they seemed to
have elevated them to temporary power
at the late election. Our foreign cous-
ms need not get too gleeful over the
prospects of the Democratic party to
legislate for their countries to the detri.
ment of the United States. They would
do 30 if they could, but they cawn't you
know.
