DR.. Daugherty an important Witness
for the Prosecution.
Charles City. Nov. 14.-Dr. Daugherty
was called to the witness stand yester-
day morning by the prosecution in the
Kelly case and upon examination
showed that he kept a record OF every
case he has ever treated in this city.
When asked as to, the condition OF the
deceased. John Kelly, at different times
prior to his death he referred to this
record. The defense objected to this,
and fully a half hour was oc1 epied by
the attorneys on both sides III examin-
ing the doctors record, wiSe1 none
could read and make out. Finally the
doctor was allowed to answer as to the
condition OF John Kelly at different
times by reading from his record, which
he swore was in every case made
truthfully Immediately after the exam
ination Of the patient. Most of the
forenoon was occupied by the attorneys
sparring over the evidence. The doc
tor will prove a strong witness for the
prosecution.

Churches and saloons.
Special to Times-Republican.
Dows. Nov. IL. hese are lively
times for Wright county. On election,
day petitions were circulated at the
polls to get signers for the purpose Of
operating saloons In Wright county.
Those who were looking after the mat
ter assert that several brewing COM
pantes were furnishing the money to
pay those who were making the cam
vass. Since election day they have
figured up the percentage for the coun-
ty and find that they have but 10 per
cent, and as the law requires So per
cent, the effort will undoubtedly prove
q failure. However, the saloon men are
determined to win and win do every
thing in their power to bring the re-
.quired number before the board of SUI
pervisors, as they are stih circulating
the papers and claim to be, doing we'll
with the work OF getting more sigma
lures.
The ministers OF the county met at
Clarion Monday and effected a county
organization and will fight the saloon
men to finish. It Is reported from
good authority that the ministers have
received promises OF all the money
necessary to cover all the expenses in
carrying on the warfare.
Wright county has good many
small towns in 1t and nearly all Of these
towns have from one to three churches
and the country districts are also well
SproyidedI with churches and therefore
the Christian influence in the county Is
very strong. There is also in the coun-
5ty a missionary who works the entire
year along the line OF Sunday school
work. and he is doing a great deal of
work against the saloon movement.
