saloons and other stores or places OF
business in this city, though it never re-
suited i'll any wholesale prosecutions,

sold than formerly. But notwitlistand.

ionally rcplonish tho city treasury
through tho mayor for violations OF the
Sunday law. They serve double pur-
pose in this, however The ordinance

not impose n Jail penalty, whereas il
they arc caughtup by tho grand jury
they are fined under the statutes which
makes ut least five days in jail manda-
tory and it may be more, at the option
OF the judge. The average saloon man
hates to be in Jail and prefers paying an
occasional fine hero because he cannot
be fined twice for the Same oGensc.

adhered to.
