Gov. Shaw's Meeting.

Gov. Leslie NJ. Shaw addressed an
audience of about one thousand people
in the Park Saturday afternoon. The
weather was threatening rain all day
and once during the speaking it seemed
almost like adjournment would have to
be taken to the cnurt house because of
the cold wind and the rain. But the
Dig audience stayed and after awhil o
the sprinkling ceased.
The business houses we're nicely deco
rated with the national colors in honor
OF lowa's chief. executive. The band
was on the streets soon after dinner
discoursing patriotic airs and the town
we'll filled with people. Mayor Hanna
called the meeting to order and intro
duced the Governor. The Governors
speech commencing at 2:3O lasted until
4:3O. 1t was greatly enjoyed by the big
audience and surely did the Governor
and his party much good politically.
The Governor spoke slowly, plainly
and in a way that all could understand
the argument. His address was void of
personal abuse. He first devoted con.
siderable time to discussion of the
free silver question. On this subject
Mr.. Shaw is conceded to be one of the
most convincing and educating speakers
in the country. His arguments are
original, pointed, easy to comprehend
and effective. He deems this the
leading question at issue until the DEM
ocratic party recedes from it's silver
position. He says If tho democrats win
this year in Iowa, or make gain here,
it will be heralded as free silver victory
above anything else. This is true for
Fred White is radical free silver man
and the platform he is running on re-
adopts the free silver platform in whole
and inpart.,
The Governor then took up the trnst
question showing that tho democrats
were no more anxious than the repub.
licans to remedy the evil of trusts, but
that their opposition to trusts were
principally shown in platforms rather
than in any attempted definite legisIa-
ton. He showed the difficulty of ge
ting at the trouble. He then spoke at
some length of the anti-imperIistic idea,
demolishing it till it was scarcely recog-
nizable.
Gov. Shaw's style of speaking is very
attractive to the Iowa audience. He is
candid, truthful and free from abuse
He tells many stories, but they always
we'll illustrate what he desires to teach
and accomplish his purpose. He lacks

Saloons Closed.

The opinion of Judge Macy ON the
snfiiciency of the mulct petition under
which the saloons of this county have
been operating the past year, was re-
ceived last Friday evening and it proved
to be against the petition. AS we have
before stated Judge Macy visited our
town few weeks ago and heard oral
arguments on the case and the attor-
neys later submitted written arguments,
Salinger, Nash, Phelps & Mosier, Myers
e Blume and II. NJ. Gray presenting the
case for the original petitioners and
Cosson IL Ross and j. M. Graham ap-
pearing for the parties resisting the
petition. The case was ably presented.
The facts were that the petition pre-
sented to the board at it's session last
winter contained the necessary number
of signers and few over, but be-
fore the canvass of the names was COM
pleted by the board and the matter
closed, a remonstrance was present.
ed to the board in which a number
asked that their names be taken from
the first petition. There were enough
on this remonstrance if it were
recognized, to defeat the original peti.
ton. The board held that the time for
getting names off the petition had pass.
ed when they commenced to canvass
the names. This was the only point at
issue. Judge Macy decided that the
time that one had to remove his name
by remOnstrance extended up to the
time of final action by the board, or till
the canvass of the nance was eomplet,
ed. Thus the action of the board was
reversed. The saloons closed Saturday
night, not caring to run any further
risks in the matter. There is talk OF an
appeal being to the supreme court, but
that is not yet definitely decided. 1t is
likely, however, that new petition of
consent will be circulated throughout
the county at no very distant date.

A SUBSIDY ASKED
Of $4,000 Per Mile For a
Railroad in Alaska.

New York, Jan. 30.-A special from
Washington says:
Several Iowa men are asking congress
to grant a subsidy of $4,000 a mile for
railway and telegraph line to the Klon-
dixie. Representative Curtis of Iowa,
has introduced a bill in the house to
carry out the wishes of the syndicate
which is composed of Charles C. Gilman
Of Marshalltown, Ia, John NJ. Wiley of
Washington, D. c., John G. Radcliffe of
Waukeen, Ia, and Albert w. Hersford,
Thomas ]. Hessett, William Ouigley, o.
Marshall, NJ. Walker and Martin NJ
Moore of Dubuque.
These men have organized the Cop
per River & Yukon Railroad company
and they ask congress to grant them
right to incorporate for so years and to
give them right of way for a railroad
and telegraph line from Valdez Inlet.
Alaska over this route: East and
northeast through the pass and along
the mountains north and east to the
Copper river bottoms and thence up
along the west bank of the river to the
SIahna river and Mantasta lake thence
through Mantasta pass and east to the
Little Toxic river and thence down the
left branch and up the right and thence
southwest to and up Copper creek, as
far as the copper mines extend.
1t is provided that a branch line shall
be built from some point east of Man
tasta pass, down some stream to the
Yukon river or the Canadian boun-
dairy.
This company is to be capitalized at
$50 OOO, 900. 1t is to have the right to
bond and mortgage the line at not to
exceed $50, 600 per mile, but this mort
gage is to be subsequent to the claim
of the United States for the 900 per
mile advanced by the government.
Provision is made for the appoint
rnent by the president of inspectors who
shall witness the construction of the
line and report each ten miles built, and
upon receiving the inspectors certif-
cate the government shall issue 80 year
3 per cent bonds which shall be pro
facto a first mortgage on the railway
and all its appurtenances. The measure
requires that the road shall be built at
the rate of 40 miles a year and its con-
struction is to be under the immediate
supervision of the secretary of the in

that this government had been obliged
TO import this once exported stuff for
use by the American army.
The reason assigned was that the
army had been so large that the de-
mand for supplies could not be met in
America and the packers brought back
this old material and sold it to the gov
eminent. Some of it was intended for
the French government and some of it
for the German government.
It is also said that some of it had been
sent to England for spectators who
wished to resell to Japan and China in
the war between those two countries.
The French government rejected the
stuff as unfit and the story is that it
was in storehouses in Europe waiting
for some disposition when the United
States government bought it as fresh
