Victory for Saloons.

The saloon men of Sioux City have
won in a contest with the prohibition
lists, who disputed the sufficiency of
the petition Of consent under which
the saloon men are doing business.
and brought injunction suits against
16 liquor dealers to restrain them
from doing business. The saloon men
held that whether or not the petition
of consent was good it had been APP
proved by the board of supervisors,
which made it of force until an appeal
from the action of the board had been
taken and upheld. Judge Hutchin-
son held this to be the proper view
and refused to grant the injunctions.

DEITY anu sHIlOuSIy
Of tho blessings which have crowned the
year Is question which, we are told, re-.
Quires individual answer. Advocates Of the
great college game claim that the innovation
is harmless, yet not even the most enthu-
siaasio among them venture the assertion
that IL has tendency to make anyone feel
grateful for the bounties Providence has
bestowed upon him. There are pany ways
of showing gratitude, but the old-fashioned
way Of thanking the Lord in His house
seems, after all, to be the best and most
elevating.

ing and prayer was appointed on account
of the drought. Rain came abundantly while
the people were praying, and the governor
appointed day of thanksgiving which was
observed with religious exercises.

A. s. Dautrick, general agent of the Washington and Alaska Steamship Co.,, member of the chamber of commerce and of the city council, returned on the last City of Seattle. from an extended trip east. His objective point was his home in Pennsylvania, but his business interests led him to spend U good deal of time in New York and Washington City. He also visited Chicago and other important points,
 "It looks as though there will be a big crowd to Nome from the Pacific coas: and as far east as Illinois" he said yesterday, but further east you don't hear much about Nome. In the east talked to passenger agents, but they told me they were not looking after Nome business much, didn't have time; too busy making money near at home.
 The people there have but very i'm. perfect idea of the country, or where Nome is. It has no. been brought be- fore the people as Dawson was. Also the times are SO much better, and peo- pie are not looking for such tremen- dous speculation us they were willing to undertake three years ago, when times were different
