city, but as the bill does not become a
law until the irst day of Julyiit will
hardly be necessary.
There Is some contention that the
city cannot collect the city license, as
there is no prohibitory law in this state
now, but the city officials seem to
think that saloon-keepers can be arrest
ed for keeping dis0rderly houses and
the fines will be received just the same.
The bill meets the condemnation OF
most of the saloon men Of the state. but
it meets the general approval of the
law and this will tend TO thin out the
cheap Joints now operated. Under the
recent law most any old topper who
could find an old pine table, couple of
glasses and q beer key started saloon,
but under the new state Of affairs now
that q man hiss 70 put up $1,000 to
operate such place the chances are he
will be reliable person and one that
will conduct . place a. we'll a. such
places can be.
The provision Of the liquor license
bill are regarded by some as rather
drastic, but . general opinion of the
public seems to be favorable to the
measure. To THE COURIER it seems
to be with one or two exceptions an ex-
cellent bill. Briefly the provisions Of
the bill call for:
Filing q statement on oath before
the county auditor stating name, resi-
dence, town, and nature OF business.
Payment Of e4OO to county treasurer,
receipt given by him, license issued
upon filing bond Of $1,000 signed by
three surietities, to be approved by
county commisssi0ners.
Before opening up for business he
must appear before the city council
with Q petition signed by twenty resi-.
dent free holders OF the ward and upon
the approval Of this application which
has to be filed twenty days before the
taxes are paid, notice must be pub
lished In one Of the official papers Of
the county for two weeks, stating the
time and place whore such application
will be heard by the city authorities.
Upon the payment Of the city license
which cannot be less than 600 or more
than e000 he can start in business.
Upon the morning OF opening, his room
where he sells liquor must open on the
business street, the license certificate
given by the county treasurer must be
posted on the wall, and In the room no
tables, chairs or any games Of chance
Of any kind-nickle In the slot, cards,
dice or anything Of . like nature-are
permitted to be In the room. Gamb-
ling 10 forbidden In the building or on
the lot or adjacent to it. This in brief
constitutes the essential provisions
for the operation Of saloon.

NEW LICENSE LAW.


Considerable Discassion - to Its Merits
A Resume Of the Bill
There is considerable discussion in
this city, IS we'll as in others, In regard
to the recent liquor bill, known as the
Boucke License bill. The bill is some
what lengthy and would take . page of
the COURIER to print it verbatim. But
the substance Of the bill as we get it
from the reports Of the metropolitan
papers is about as follows.
1t Is provided that the state shall re-
ceive 500 from each license, the county
500, the municipality gets the re-
mainder. The license Is graded up to
$1,000.
Twenty five legal voters can At time,
If thirty days notice Is given, bring up
the license law at any municipal cleo
ton. This gives to the Boucke law,
the local option clause. There Is con-
siderable discussion upon this point,
but it Is the opinion Of those who are
best capable TO Judge, that the pro-
hibitionists will be the ones who will
have to be the aggress0rs and that Ut
the next municipal election they will
have to present their petition for the
question TO be submitted to the people
providing the law 10 now In effect.
The Boucke license law further pro-
vides that no chairs Of any kind, bill
lizard or pool tables, cards or anything
d 2 gaming sort, win be allowed In the
saloon.

YOUTHFUL FIREBUGS' CRIME
Several Fires in the Second Pre-
cinct Of Incendiary Origin.
Police Have BSen Given cscriptiOns
of the Boy Criminals. But Have
not Caught Them.

There have been several fires recently In
the Second precinct which the police be-
ievc We're of ircendiary origin. The first
occurred only few weeks ago when two
white boys were seen to set fire.to the Shed
in the rear OF the furniture store of NC.
Grasty, No. SO Seventh street. y de-
scnption Of the boys was furni shed, but the
police have been unable to locate them.
Another fire occurred Saturday afternoon
at No. SO! r street In 4 vacant house. The
blaze was discovered by F. A. Dennison,
who lives only short distance away.
When the fifemen arrived they found evi-
dences Of incpndiarism all about the build
ing. Holes had been chopped In the plaster
Ing and the places filled with paper which
had been set on fire. A woman in the neigh
boIhood claimed Ia have seen several boys
climbing over the back fence OF the prem
ises only e short time before the fire.
The flames were exHiuguished after only
slight damage, but phe police made an in
yestigation which resulted in their coming
to the conclusion that a general effort was
being made to set fire to buildings.
This opinion was further confirmed last
night when another fire was discovered in
u shed in tie rear Of No. 1911 Eleventh
street. 1t is the property of william Hop
kins, and V as used as a storage room. Mr..
Hopkins can hardly account for the origin
Of thefirein ins shed, as there was nothing
stored there which could have caused
blaze, nor has any member of his family
been In the shed. The Policeman on the
beat learned that u white boy had been
lettering about the premises Just before
the fire, and that he answers to the de-
scriptioL of one Of the boys previously y under
suspicion.
