Henry Kleuver, who lives up in

just north of Brayton, the first of the
week to see his brother Rudolph,
who is terrible sufferer from tumor

the case and pronounces him beyond

boy condition is indeed very critical.

was dearth of speakers present and
Ed. Lewis appeared for the atfirma-

side of the question. The judges
were Mrs. G. B. Sykes, Miss May
Jenkins and Miss Pearl Hardman.
Mr.. Lewis made an eloquent appeal
and won out single handed. The
question for next Monday evening is
thus: Resolved, That modern ma

END OF A BAD GANG
QUINCY OFFICERS KILL TWO AND
WOUNc ANOTHER.

Suspected Safe Dlowers worsted In a
Desperate Battle In Hotel-Trunks
Arc Found to Contain Burglars Tools
and Skeleton Keys.
QUINCY, Ills, Jan. 29.-Quincy police
officers last night killed two expert safe
blowers, supposed to be from Chicago,
and wounded another badly. The
tragedy included running fight
through hotel, in which the armed
burglars were pursued by the officers.
The men are believed to be those who
recently operated in Galesburg, Free
port and other Illinois cities, making
speciality of cracking safes in building
and loan offices.
On Jan. 6 the safe of the Adams
County Building and Loan association
was blown open at the noon hour and
cash and securities amounting to $780,
600 taken. Saturday three men came
to Meeker's hotel and registered from
Kansas City. The proprietor recognized
their handwriting as being the same as
that OF the men who came here Jan. 5
and whom he afterward suspected as
being crooks. He warned the police
and when one went out he was Swallowed
by Detective George Koch, who asked
the suspect to go to the station and ex-
plain himself. The man drew pistol,
but as he did so Koch flashed his own
and fired four shots. Three took effect
and the man fell dead instantly.
Meanwhile the officers had examined
the baggage of the suspected men and
found that it included burglar tools.
skeleton keys and dynamite sticks.
When the other two men returned to
the hotel at 2 a. m, they learned of the
tragedy and found the hotel surrounded
by officers. They ran into the hotel sa-
loon and loaded their revolvers. Then
there was a running fight in the hotel
corridor. One man reached the street,
pursued by Chief Of Police John Ahearn.
He turned to fire, and as he did so,
Ahearn sent a bullet crashing through
his skull. He died in a few minutes.
The third man was shot on the stairs
by Officer Charnhorst and sank to the
floor with broken hip. He was cap
tured, but refused to say who his ac-
completes were. The men were all well
dressed, had diamonds and other Jew
alrv and had plenty of money

SALOONS HARD HIT,

DIES MONIES, Jan. 30.-A decision
which will close two-thirds of the
saloons in Iowa was handed down by
the supreme court yesterday. 1t is CON
sidered the most generally important
decision given out in ton years. In
1894 the legislature passed the so-called
"mulct liquor law" which did not re-
peal the old prohibitory statute, but
suspended its penalties on condition of
filing . petition of a majority Of the
voters and securing consent of the town
council to operation Of saloons. This
took effect Immediately. In 1897 the
legislature revised the code, codifed all
session laws and published it as new
and complete code. This new code
changed in a few minor respects the
mulct law. The old mulct act has no
provision for a canvass of the consent
petition; the new code provided that it
must be canvassed and approved by the
county supervisors. Lorenz Ill, Des
Moines saloon keeper, was assailed by
the Anti-Saloon league on the ground
that he could not operate his saloon
under the new law without getting a
new consent petition and having it can
vassed by the supervisors. The district
court, Judge Bishop presiding, decided
in HIS favor, and the case went up on
certiorari proceedings. The supreme
court, through Judge Watermans opin-
ion, decided the whole matter. 1t holds
that the code Of 1897 repealed all laws
heretofore passed; that the old mulct
law was repealed; that consent petitions
secured and filed under the old law are
rendered worthless; that any saloon
keeper operating under petition filed
prior to Oct. l, 1897, when the new code
took effect, is liable to be closed and
fined for contempt. This affects the sa.
looms in about two thirds of all counties
which have saloons in the state. The
liquor dealers have been watching the
case, which was conceded throughout
the state to be a test action. In Des
Moines new consent petition has already
been secured in anticipation of a posi-
BILE adverse verdict, but it is said that
no other county had taken this trouble.

Arlington NhecImen.

The announcement in The Times that
hill-climbiug contest would be a feature
of the weekly run OF the Arlington Wheel
men served 10 bring out a large number
OF members and their friends last Sunday
The contest took place near Overlook Inn
and was won by Fred Moore with C!ar-
ence Miller second, and Ed Terry third
While ii was not as successful as il might
have been owing TO the very bad condi-
ton OF the hillside. caused by the recent
neavy rains. and to the fact that the
riders were rather unfamiliar with the
sport, the competitors were a unit in
declaring hill climbing a very interesting
and exciting feature of cycling. and now
that the initiative has been taken. local
wheelmen will undoubtedly take to the
sport with a vim.
Captain Murphy was delighted with the
large attendance last Sunday and is now
arranging to repeat the contest in the
near future. The following members were
present: Moore. Wurdeman. Ward. ". d.
Clark Duffy. Rhine. J. E. Whtson. W J.
Whitson, L. Terry, e. Miller. .. Miller
Dawson. Christman. Eckhardt. Clapp. Lib
hey. Potts. Mitchell. Piemmons. Mayer, and
Captain Murphy.
An important meeting OF the club was
held Tuesday evening at Carroll Institute
The reports of the various officers showed
that the club was in hourishing condi-
ton. W. Ii. Duffy and Thomas Roland
were elected 10 membership, L. L. Harding
was transferred from the honorary to the
active list, and one application for mem
bershlp was received. A committee con-
sistins OF Messrs. Harding. Moore. and
Murphy was appointed to revise the com
stitution and bylaws and to have the
same printed and distributed among the
members OF the club.

IN THE BASEBALL WORLD.
Speculation Over the situation in
This City.


The reduction of the National League
circuit 10 eight clubs is now an accom-
plished fact and baseball fandOm in this
city is wondering what will happen in
Washington. In the absence of any dis
closed plans upon the part of the mag
mates the public is left TO indulge in spec
uation.
The sudden and wholly unexpected set
tiement OF this yeXed question, and at
time when all avenues TO a successful
termination seemed to be hopelesSly
closed. is corroborative of a suspicion that
there is an African in the wOodpile. The
fast that the question Of reduction of
the League membership has finally been
decided will prove great relief to the
country generally and to baseball fandom
particularly.
Andrew Freedman President OF the New
York club and who has been the principal
obstructionist in the path of League har-
mony. has been temporarily placated and
now promises to be good-at least so long
as he is allowed to dominate things at his
corner OF the diamond. President Young
will at once 20 to work on an eight-ciub
schedule. which will be submitted at an
early spring meeting. and in the mean
time the several clubs will at once go
into spring training.
1t seems an assured fact that Washing
ton and Baltimore will have teams in the
Eastern League. and if President Powers
will put a winning club in this city he
viii probably meet with fair patronage.
IL is not to be expected that after many
seasons OF tail-end club in the National
League the devotees of the game in
this city would encourage a loser in a
minor organization, and it would be well
for the Eastern League magnates to take
notice and govern themselves accordingly.
