SURPRISE FOR SALOONS

There was great CONSERVATION in the
ranks of the local saloonkeepers last
, night.
IS. The edict was issued that every sa-
loon in the city should close at 70
o clock. and the authority which distri-
buted the information emphasized the
fact that this was Mayor Kiefer's Off
Cial order.
For two years st. Paul has been I'M

favored for reasons best known to the
administration and their proprietors.
which have kept open as long as they
wished, and without apparent molesta-
tior.
y month or so before the recent nomi-
mating conventions, the saloon men be-
gan to be a little careless about watch
Ing the lock. If they had any party
Inside. they waited until the custom
ers grew weary and did not turn them
out. 1t was evidently presumed that
no one would go out of his way to make
trouble. After Kiefer was nominated,'
there was little furry. 1t was thought
perhaps Mayor Doran would be a lit
tie strict. But they kept open few
minutes later every night until some
of them, as the saying is, threw away
the key.
When Kiefer was elected, the frater-
fnty generally understood that any sa-
loonkeeper who could get enough out
OF night trade, legitimately, to pay
his gas bill, would not be molested,
and number of them have been ac-
commodating the belated wayfarer.
But the order of last night would
indicate that the liquor interests have
been deceived, whether by the author
-tty of the new mayor or not.
