DEs MONIES, April 3.-Judge Prouty
fled for record his opinion i'll the con-
tempt proceedings brought against a
number of saloon keepers several
weeks ago by the attorneys for the
temperance forces and j. D. Laws.
The decision is one of the most import
ant that has been rendered in the Polk
county courts in years on account of
its far reaching effect. 1t holds that
all injunctions granted against saloon
keepers in Polk county prior to the
enactment of the new code on October

changes in the liquor laws, and it fol-
lows that every one of about 1000 in
functions in the ninety-nine counties

Upon the death of the empress of Austria European papers recalled the sad fate that has also befalen her two sisters. The Herald of St. Petersburg tells us that these sisters, the Duchess of Alencon and Queen Marie of Naples once consulted Il noted fortune teller, who told the Princess Marie that she would be queen, that she would be deceived and have disastrous rule and lose her crown, that she would show great courage and energy, but that she must look out for the "hommes roeues. {" If one recalls the victory of Garibaldi and his red men" over the king of Naples, one must admit that she guessed true" on this occasion. To the Princess Sophie she said: "You will aot reach middle life. You need not fear water, but keep yourself from an. other element--fire. The princess be. came the Duchess of Alencon and was burned in the fire of the charity bazaar 'n Paris.

THE REASON

The News publishes with great
demonstration of delight that the
Silver party has raised the State tax
from ninety cents to one dollar on the
hundred. This raise was made TO
meet the expenses of err citing and
equipping the University. Wheneve,
the Silver party has been called upon
to meet educational expenses it has
never shrunk from its duty and the
State University is monument to
that broad policy.
Under the old Republican regime
the University got a very scan! al
lowance, and in some sessions got
nothing. The Silver administration
has always considered that dollar
spent in education saved dollar in
some other direction. 1t lessons the
amount necessary to maintain State
prisons and asylums.
