NEW YORK's LIQUOR LAW.

New York's new liquorlaw, passed
by Republican Legislature and
signed by Republican Governor,
is quite an innovation upon the old
order of things. 1t is, to our way
of thinking, quite an improvement,
too; if it had only prohibited the
treating" feature, by allowing
whisky sold only in half pint or larg-
er bottles, and forbade its being
guzzled in saloon, it would have
been better still. Here are the
the main features of the law:
1t is known as the Raine's law,
and is a sweeping, thoroughgolng,
comprehensive, steel-rivited meas
ure.
1t cancels all existing license on
April 80, the state paying for the
unexpired period. 1t puts the liquor
traffic out of the State under the
supreme control of a State Com
missioner. A special State Deputy
is to rule in New York, Brooklyn
and Buffalo. Sixty secret service
agents will be scattered through
the State. The new license costs
from $500 in New York City to 500
in country villages, and one-third
of all collected fees goes to the
State.
The law prohibits all screens or
shades to conceal the interior of a
saloon. 1t also abolisheS the free
lunch counter. The license certifi-
cate to be posted up in the front
window, whether the place be a
saloon or club where liquor is
sold.
There are numerous other re-
strictions, and the penalty for vio-
lation is very severe.

residence, 1900 State street, at the age
of 70 years. Mrs. Hobart had been an
invalid for the past fourteen years, suf-
fering during the greater part of that
time from paralysis. which left her help
less. She had been growing constantly
more feeble for the past few months and
the end was not unexpected. The funer-
al will be held from the family residence
on Thursday afternoon at 2 O'Clock. In
terment will be at Forest Home.
Mrs. Hobart was born in Bradford,
VT. on June u, 1917. She was daugh-
ter of DR.. Manassas Litch, who was a
prominent physician of Vermont. The
daughter was highly educated and for
several years taught school in her native
state. In 1889 she was united in mar
riage to Samuel T. Mower. merchant in
Boston They had four children. One of
these was the late Maj Mower OF this
city. daughter, JEANNE Anita Mower,

PATH FOR WHEELMEN.
The Project is Being Agitated by
Fox River Valley Resi-
dents.

Appleton, Wis, Aug. 15.-[Special.1-
Yhe project of building a bicycle path
10 Menasha is again being strongly agi-
tatad by the wheelmen of Appleton. For
Il time il seemed probable that some
thing was likely 10 be done by the peo-
pie in general Of Appleton, Neenah and
Menasha toward securing a good road
between the towns, and the wheelmen
dropped the path agitation, preferring
80 aid in the general movement for a
whole road rather than appear selfish in
booking out only for their own interests
by insisting on path of their own. The
read movement seems to have died, how
ever, and the wheeImen are now deter
mined to submit to the inconvenience of
the disgraceful road between Appleton
and Menasha no longer. If the general
public does not care enough about a
good road to meet halfway the wheel
mems efforts to secure it, the wheelmen
propose to have a path of their own and
let the teamsters and farmers plug along
0Ter the present wretched apology as
bong rs they Ike. The cooperation of
Neenah and Menasha wheelmen in the
project will be enlisted and it is conf
IDENTITY believed that next season will see
a fine wheelway between Appleton and
the Twin Cities. built by wheelmen for
the use of wheelmen only.

ARRAIED FOR BATTLE.
Two Factions in a School District
in Sank County at
War

Baraboo, Wis, Aug. 13.--[Special.I-
There is blood ON the moon" in joint
school district No. 9, composed of the
towns of Troy, Prairie du Sac and Hon
ey Greek. Sometime ago it was decided
to erect new school building and the Sc
lection of a site created no end of trou-
BILE and the matter had to be brought
into court for settlement. Since the
building has been completed the neigh
borhood has continued to be divided into
two factions, and it was decided by one
of these day before yesterday to move
the structure to another part Of the dis
trict. Yesterday they met upon the
ground and commenced to prepare new
foundation and move the structure. The
opposition at once got an injunction from
Judge Kelsey and when Sheriff Hubert
reached the scene to stop the proceedings
there was great activity. The two fac
tons were arrayed against each other
and bloodshed is feared all the time.
Threats have been made and hot words
exchanged, but as yet there has been no
combat. There viii be a test made of
the rights of those interested on Friday
before Judge kelsey.
