cause to lash us with his sharp-edged
tongue, which he could use with such
effect when irritatcd.

sioux city Saloons Closed or Sunday.
Sioux City, Ia, Oct. 8O.--Sioux City
was a dry town yesterday, at least so
far as the saloons were concerned, for
the first lime in years. Saturday night
at midnight the doors were closed and
n close watch was kept by the police
on all places Sunday. The closing
movement is due to the action of lead
ing saloon men, who petitioned the
mayor for dry Sunday. The thirsty
had to fall back on the drug stores or
on private supplies.
