Closing LeCIaire's saloons.

Rebecca Hawthorne has filed petition
for an injunction against T. W. Cham
bers, saloonkeeper of LeClaire. Hugh
Pollock. who gives his place of residence
as Carl Junction. Mo, but at present re-
siding at Rock Island, H., makes affida-
Wit in support of the petition that April
z he purchased and drank in Chambers
saloon glass of beer and also purchased
a bottle of whisky. A petition for an
Injunction has also been filed against
John w. Bailey, of the same place, by
Abigail Collins, on the ground that Mel,
vile E. Blake on Feb. 10, 1890. examined
record 10 in the Office of Louis Weinstein,
collector of internal revenue for the
Fourth district of Iowa, and the record
shows that on Feb. 9. 1890, John W.
Bailey paid government tax as retail
dealer in liquors in the town of LeCIaire
The tax is for the term from said date to
April 80, 1890. Both petitions ask that
saloons be closed under the prohibitory
Democrat.

| MIR. Leland, in closing. addressed the
church, urging affectionately to greater
activity, and forward and upward move>
ments in all their plans and work. Ref
erence was made to the very pleasant and
successful psstorate just closing,in which
seventy.seven persons had been added to
the church during two years-fifty.seven
Of them by experience and baptism; OF
| these all but seven, who have removed
from the city, are now in active
| connection with the church. During this
pastorate beautiful mi .sion chapel has
been built. and steady improvement in
| activity and efficiency in christian work
has been observable, while harmony has
prevailed in all the relations of pastor and
people, and the church is in an excellent
financial condition, and its spiritual con-
dition may be rightly inferred from the
full attendance at the devotional meet
ings and excellent Sabbath congrega-
tons. and the baptism OF three more can
didstes which occurred last even
ing as the closing act of the pastors con-
nectiOn with the church.
Mr.. Leland resigned his pastorate here
for the purpose of completing post
graduate course of study at Morgan
Park. and expected to remove his family
there, but has accepted a very enthus-
iastic call to the church at Mendoza,
which is located so near the city as 10 al
low him to carry out his plans without
being much from home as he would have
to be if supplying different churches
from Sabbath to Sabbath.
Mr.. Leland goes from here to Chicago
on Tuesday to attend the commencement
of the Baptist Theological Seminary. On
next Sunday he will preach his first ser>
mon % pastor at Mendoza, Ill His fam
lily will r..nain in Rock Island for about
ten DAYS, when he will return and re-
move his home to Mendoza, where he will
remain during his course of study.
