There is a strong feeling locally in favor
Of the resuhmission bill introduced In the
Iowa senate on Monday by Senator Perrin
of Chickasaw county. The temperance peo-
Pile are anxious to see prohibition made a part
of the state constitution and the men on the
other side are DESTROYS of seeing the liquor
question settled definitely one way or the
ether. They are confident that Pottawatta-
mic county would return a sweeping majority
against the measure. If Senator Puseys
manufacturing bill becomes a law they are
satisfied that the sentiment of the state will
be so largely in favor Of a liquor law SINH
lar to the Nebraska statute that constitu-
tional prohibition will be rejected by an
overwhelming majority.

son took the seine to his house and watched
It until 8 o'clock in the morning, and while
his back was turned for an instant some
net was lying. Since his discharge Gibson
has notified the authorities that he wants
his property returned and threatens to re-
cover it or its value by suit in the courts,
In such a suit Officer Oleson and Justice
Wen will be the immediate defendants.
