Last night he was on his way from Boston
to Portland in answer to call from his en-
ployers. He and a friend drank something
and the first he knew he was fighting with q
stranger who was evidently an adept and
who gave him a severe drubbing. Judge

keeping with the law, So and cost or a uni

ployers who owe him for a months work.
He says he has lost his situation.

A COLD WATER ALLIANCE
Which May Swell the Republican
Majority In Iowa.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July ga special
to the Journal from Des Moines, Ia says
that within the past few days, facts have
drifted to the surface in Iowa politics which
would not render it surprising If the Prohibit
tion ticket were withdrawn from the field.
II this step is not taken, it will be becau Sc OF
10000 anti-prohibition Republican votes, the
latter party will be afraid of losing if it
shoulders the prohibition burden outright.
That negotiations have been pending some
time between the Republican and Prohibit
tion leaders looking toward an amalgama-
tion of the two parties, none deny. A circu-
lar has been issued by Thomas OnwIg, the
acknowledged leader of the Prohibitionists,
In which he attempts to feel the public pulse
by praising ths Republican party and hint
ing that, la view Of the fact that the Repub-
iicans have In times past assisted the Prohi-
bitiOnists all in their power, return of the
compliment would now be in order. His
circular is now the topic of conversation in
the campaign and 1t has led the Democratic
press of the state TO make the bold assertion
that the Republicans have sold their party
to the cold water men.
