ampton DR.. Manly stated tina several
outbreaks of typhoid fever in Liver

ice cream. Since 1898 319 persons had
appliedsto the Liverpool health author

and Sc had been told that owing to
u~nsuitability of premises they must
make other arrangements. There had
been two convictions. and in one
case the stipendiary magistrate re-
marked that the best punishment for
the defendant would be to make him

ROBERTS MUST WAIT.

Swearing Him In.

SWthrinE "iHh IN
Washington, Dec. lat n confer
Republicans, held Mt the capitol TO-
night, it was decided that the eliglbh-
i.y of Representative-elect Roberts or
Utah to occupy II seat in the House
should be investigated and determined,
and that pending the decision he should
not be permitted to take the oath Oh
office.
This decision was arrived at by those
present without n dissenting vote. hep-
resentntive Tayler of Ohio, who Will
have charge of the matter in the
House. explained, after the conference
had adjourned, that this proceeding
does not involve n preiudgment OF the
case. but, irrespective of party, VIII ar
ford the members an opportunity TO
vote after a thorough investigation
and complete presentation of the case
for their consideration.
Mr.. Tayler had made n study of he
allegations and precedents and pre-
scented them at length to his colleagues.
He offered "A plan of procedure which
was agreed to after n general eX-
change of views. The procedure is to
be as follows:
When Roberts appears at II bar or
the House to take the oath objection
is to he made upon the ground that he
is ineligible. He will then step aside
and after The other members are sworn
in II member making the objection
who probably will be Mr.. Tayler-wil
recite the allegations and offer a reso-
luton for their investigation by n spe-
cial committee. This will give the
House an opportunity to vote in the
first instance upon the question of
postponing the administration of the
oath until after the allegations have
been investigated. The resolutions
have not been formulated yet, but
they will include the investigation o.
the charge that Mr.. Roberts alleged
conviction of violation of the Ed
munds act of 1889 renders him ineli-
gible by the terms of hat act: wheth-
er the fact that he is IN avowed polyg-
amist renders him ineligible and
whether the state of Utah In electing
him has not violated the compact by
which she obtained statehood.
Mr.. Tayler says the preccdents for
objecting to the swearing in of n mem
Der duly elected and bearing proper
credentials are umerou and in point.

Corporations with aggregate capital
of more than S5OO.0OO,OOO are prepar-
ing TO move Out of Illinois and estab-

cisions that the corporations have de
cided to retaliate by withdrawing their

JUDGE Scott Declares Local Option Law
Invalid


The Nicholasville Democrat prints
this important contribution to local OPP
ton literature. Judge SCOTS decision
is not criticised, for our learned and
impartial Judge is sustained by the law
and facts. The Democrat says:
Local Option Law Declared Invalid.
On Monday afternoon Judge Scott rem
dered a decision that is of vital interest
to every man, woman and child in the
county. In the case against J. N
Abraham for selling whisky in local
option precinct it WAS decided that the
local option law in civil district No. .
Is invalid on the ground that the petit
ton was fled and the order made for
the election at the same term OF court.
The local option laws were voted for
under the act Of 1874, and elections
were held in the various precincts dur
ing the summer and fall of that year,
This decision renders invalid local or
ton law in all precincts in the county
as the same state of facts exists in all
precincts. Judge SCOTS decision is in
az cord with the decision of the Court Of
Appeals in a similar case that was Ia
ken up fromIee county.
''This decision, which is a just one
according to law, is, nevertheless. a very
severe blow to those persons who voted
to Dust whisky in their respective pre-
cincts Whisky can now be sold in
any precinct in the county just as u
was before the act of 1874. A little
want of conformity to law has rendered
invalid the wishes and decision of tlie
people in every precinct in the county
save one"
