In consequence OF these instructions and
in view OF the fact that no one whose

very bold. and this week no end of jugs

DES MONIES. IOWA, May 3l.-The Sn-
premc Court to-day rendered an opinion
which viii close every mulct saloon in
Des Moines. and result eventually in clos
ing. saloons IN other Iowa towns. The
court holds that the petitions Of con-
sent purporiing TO contain signatures Of
over one-ha1f of the voters at the last
general election must be proved legal.
and that the hling of them with the
county auditor as the law provides. does
not throw such proof on the Auditor of
the State. The Mulct law was passed two
years ago and under it saloons are being
run I'm all cities in the State.
This case went up from the District
Court here, and was test case with
the Temperance League as plaintiff. The
saloon men will he unable to prove the
validity Of the names on their petitions,
and the saloons here VIII have 60 close.
The Temperance League in other cities
have commenced similar suits, and will
probably win in many places This opin-
ion is likely to raise the Prohibition ques-
tiOn I'm the fall campaign.

one fire i'm Yonkers was all prepared
and ready, when IL was prevented 10y ac-
cidont; so that it did not come of. The
fires that panned out were all set with
benzine on the bladder plan. This plan Is
as simple as it is effective. The doomed
store or nat is sprinkled with alcohol
ana a bladder filled with the ipfammablo
stun IS suspended from the ceiling. and
when the flame reaches the bladder there
is an explosion which destroys the prop
crty. and the manner in which the fire
was set. The same result Is obtained by
turning on all the gas and letting one jet
burn. The explosive point Is reached IN
due time. These are the flash fires that
so long puzzled the police and iiremen.
Sch0enholz was the expert who did the
business, but he was himself simply the
tool of q gang OF fire adjusters, gen.
eralled by one upon the TRAN or whom the

easily Identified by the coincidence OF
