doubtedly be made permanent at the
next meeting.
The members include nearly if not
all the saloon keepers in the city, but
the League is open to all professions
and trades, and it is expected that it
will largely increase in size and i'm
portance Already many business
men in all parts of the city and of all
parties are said to belong, and anyone
who desires to may become member
without paying dues,
The object of the organization is to
secure liberal action in municipal af-
fairs by the mayor and council, and
to secure this it will not hesitate to
take hand in politics at the coming
spring election, using it's influence for
the election of such candidates as may
be dependedrupOn to favor it's interests.
1t will not NEEDLE with any Of the Of
fees except those named, and if the
political conventions take certain ac-
tion, it may be that nothing further
will be done at present. The League
is open to those of all political parties
and creeds, and it does not intend to
place ticket of it's own in the field
While it is not said in so many
words, the object of the League seems
to be to ensure the election of mayor
and councilmen who are favorable to
liberal construction of the laws
which have anything to do with per-
sonal liberty. The name of the Or
ganization indicates this, as well as
the views of the members and the
statements made. 1t is believed that
the organization is favorable to the
reelection of Mayor Weaver, but it is
stated that this subject has not been
formally discussed in the meetings as
yet. Besides this, the election of
aldermen this spring is likely to soon
engage the attention of the League.
Many of the members believe that
strict enforcement of municipal regu-
lations would be prejudicial to their
interests, and they will work to defeat
candidates that might be so inclined,
and for those who will give the neces-
sary pledges.
Just what influence the Liberal
League will have as regards the con-
duct of municipal affairs, or just what
stand it will take as an organization
on the matters of interest, it is too
early to judge.

Menage, president of the Northwestern
Guaranty Loan company, has been
heard from. He has written long let
ter to personal friend in Minneapolis
in defense Of himself, and the letter has
been given for publication. The
principal point of interest about
this letter is the tentative

ILLEGAL BUSINESS.

Judgn Church of Des MOines Hands Down
Important Liquor Decision.
JEFFERSON, Ia, Feb. 20. - Judge
Church has rendered a decision here,
touching the saloon business in Iowa,
in connection with the mulct law. Some
time ago, P. H. Stepphun and J. M.
Alders of Carroll engaged in the saloon
business. After few weeks they quar-
relied, and Stepphun brought suit in
conrt for dissolution. Alders demurred,
claiming that the saloon business was
illegal, and that the court could not take
cognizance Of an illegal business. Judge
Church has sustained the demurrer and
the case was thrown out of court, prac-
tically making the saloon business in
Iowa, even if operating under the mulct
law, a legal outcast, yet amenable to
the law.

LIBERAL LEAGUE.
A New Semi-POlitiCal
Organization Started
in Mankato.
1t MAY Be a Power in
the Coming Municipal
Election.
Wants a Say as to Who
Shall be Mayor and
Aldermen.
Liberal Conduct of the
City By Mayor and
Council Desired.

A movement has been on foot in
this city for some time looking to the
election of mayor and aldermen
favorable to liberal conduct of the
affairs of the city. Some Of the pro-
moters want to ensure the continual
tion of the present status, while
others want the city run on more
"wide open" policy. The movement
has been kept SO still that the news
papers have heretofore been left in
ignorance of the matter, and two
meetings have now been held, the
first about two weeks ago, and the
second on Friday afternoon, COM
mencing at two o'clock. Both meet
ings were held in the Liedertafel hall,
over the Central block, and the sec
ond one could not be kept from the
ears of FREE PRESS reporter.
Several persons known to have at
tended the meeting were asked to
give some information upon the mat
ter, but professed ignorance, and a
general desire to keep the matter
from the public was manifested.
Having succeeded in ascertaining the
the names of some of the officers, the
president, Alderman Mic Petersen,
was interviewed today, and though at
first seemingly unwilling to make a
complete statement, finally consented
to give enough facts to permit of an
accurate account of the organization
being published.
1t appears that the idea of the move
ment was conceived last fall, from
the workings of a certain mutual life
insurance company, and it was be-
lieved that it could be applied to an
organization which should have GER
tain aims as to the conduct of munich
pal affairs. A meeting was called
about two weeks ago, and Mr.. Peter
son rendered the use of the Liedertafel
hall free, a thing which he had right
to do by virtue of his Office as preSi-
dent of the Liedertafel. e. [. p.
Steade agreed to furnish fuel free, and
therefore there is to be no cost at
tached to membership. The matter
was talked over at this first meeting,
and it was decided to hold another,
when more definite steps would be
taken to perfect an organization, the
idea having commended itself to those
present. The first meeting was largely
attended, and still more were at the
second meeting, at which sixty-seven
were counted.
A temporary organization was made
by the election of the following Of
ficers:
President-Nic Peterson.
Vice-President = Henry Himmel-
man.
Secretary-J. Schmidt.
Treasurer Bierbauer.
Messrs. Petersen, Zimmerman and
Steade were appointed a committee on
organization, and when they are ready
to report they will call another meet
ing. All future meetings will be held
at the Liedertafel hall.
The organization was given the
name of "The Liberal League" and
the temporary officers will un-

ELLSWORTH, Wis, Feb. 20.-William
Coulter, living about six miles from

other persons he was relieved of his cash.
When he arose in the morning his pants
were missing, with 5000, but his de-

old coat hanging on the bedpost, with

inactivity and uselessness-
Women can at least begin reform
in these matters. They should refuse
to wear extremely heavy skirts and ex-
aggerated sleeves. They should insist
upon having their dress suited to their
work. whatever it may be.
They should have courage enough to
adopt a sensible costume for noun

should give their little girls the same
opportunities for growth thai they
give their boys. The salvation of the
world depends upon the amelioration
of woman's physical condition.

that all members will make an effort

of the Utah Viavi company. at the

three first days of this week. was a
wonderful success; the hall was crowd

of healthy women and their powers
were beautifully portrayed and how
they lost their influence for good when
diseased and broken down. Numerous
testimonials were given of the wonder
