The evils of the saloon were touched
upon and those church members who
sign liquor house licenses, were given
a sharp reminder of their lack OF duty
and moral manhood.

Probate Judge Racket I'm st. Clair.

Clinton Donors
J. A. G4lbraith, prosecuting attor-
ney of St. Clair county, passed
through Clinton from his home at
Appleton City yesterday, to Osceola
to be present at the meeting of the
s.. Clair county court to-day. To a
Democrat reporter he said there is
quite a contest going on over the office
of probate judge. Judge Finch who
is the present officer and who was
defeated for reelection by the Rev.
VIM. Love, on the republican ticket
by a majority of IL, through the adj
wee of bis attorney, L. D. Williams,
declined to vaeate and has been
sleeping in his office. Proceedings
have been begun before Judge STRAIT
ton to Dust Finch, who has in turn
filed notice of contest, alleging that
the ticket voted by the republicans at
the recent election was in violation of
law, because when it should have
read for "clerk of the county court"
it read for "circuit clerk of the cOun-
ty court" There being no such office
under the law, he claimed that this
being extraneous matter, the entire
ticket is void for all the officers.
As the republican candidate for
C unity clerk was defeated, and no
contest vas begun in time against any
of the Others, this cannot affect any
but the probate judge.
Until this muddle is settled people
do not like to do business with the st.
Clair probate judge, for fear of lille
gality.
