passing through ON their way to
Knoxville. They returned to the city
to-day and were entertained here for

MINISTER'S APPEAL.
Addressed To The Citizens Of
OSkalooSa

THE Minister'S Association of Os-
kaloosa desires to call the attention
to the Christian people, the friends
of temperance and the citizens in gen.
eral to the situation regarding the
saloons of Oskaloosa viii h have
been closed by a decision of the Su-
preme court. Many of you have
been expecting such a decision for
more than month, to others it has
come as surprise. All who love the
homes and seek to promote the best
interests of the city will rejoice in
the closed door of the saloons. 1t is
a victory for the anti saloon forces
of the whole state. In the 48 coun-
ties where the mulct law had been
adopted there are more than 1900 sa-
looms with closed doors today, many
of thu m, we believe, never to be
opened again for the sale of strong
drink.
"The situation throws a great re-
sponsiblity upon the citizenship of
Iowa. The only way in which the
doors of these saloons can be opened
is by the consent of the voters. Those
who voted at the last general cleo
ton hold the key to the situation,
they can unlock those doors or keep
them locked. The saloon men will
ask your consent to reopen. We ap-
peal to you to cay NO. Some of you
signed the old petition in good faith
only to regret it, the opportunity has
come to refuse second consent.
Some of you are undecided what to
do, to you we appeal do not sign I'M
til you have positively made up your
mind that you want the open saloon
in our city.
The friends of temperance will cir
culate a remonstrance against re-
opening the saloon. If you sign any
paper on this question be sure that

AGAINST SALOONS.
Court Hold that Old
Petitions are Invalid.

Des Moines, Jan. 80. Among the
decisions handed down by the su-
preme court yesterday is one in the
case entitled West, appellant, Va.
Bishop, in which the lower court is
reversed. This case involves the
validity of the present petitions of
consent in nearly every city in Iowa
in which saloons are operated under
the mulct law, and the petitions are
declared invalid under the ruling.
The opinion, most sweeping one,
is written by Judge Waterman of
Davenport, but is the unanimous
holding of the supreme bench. In
passing on it the Judge says:
SIN our opinion, a new statement
of consent should have been filed
based upon the return of voters at
the last preceding general election.
There are manifest and insuperable
objections to permitting the board of
supervisors now to canvass petition
filed in 1895 One of these objections,
and it is sufficient, we think, to indi-
cate that the general assembly did
not intend to permit any such thing,
is that the poll books are not re-
CURED to be preserved more than
eighteen months, or until contest,
if one is pending, is disposed of;
therefore in any attempted canvass
now, the board would be without
means of verifying its conclusions.
In answering the argument that
this should apply only to statements
filed since the new code went into
effect, the court says that on this
theory distinction is made as to
what must be done to create bar
to prosecutions, between those liquor
dealers who acted before October i,
1897, and those who acted or may
act since that time, and it sees no
warrant for such distinction, and
does not believe the general assembly
intended to create such state of af-
fairs. The law now distinguishes be-
tween dealers in the larger and
smaller places, but this founded upon
a reasonable classification.
Concluding the court says:
prohibition is still the rule in this
state. If facts exist which suspend
the operation of the prohibitory
statutes, they must be set up as
defense.
sit was necessary here for the de-
PENDANT, in order to set out a defense,
tos how a compliance with the 'mulct
law socalled; this he has DONE"

it is the remonstrance against the
saloon. There may be many who
are not ready to take an open stand
against the saloon who hesitate to
take the responsibility of consenting
to their reopening, to such we appeal

right will prevail, we appeal to all to

on the part of chose present to make
an attempt to raise the beets on trial
during the next summer.
The following committee was ap-
pointed to solicit acreage: A. G..
Hull, r. A. Kent, 1. w. Cook, Perry
Edris and II. A. Hoover.
Mr.. Edris inShis report of the Pekin
plant was confirmatory Of the state
ments that were made in the insti-
tute by Mr.. Kingman, who spoke on
the subject.
There will be another meeting
called for February 10, when the re-
port Of the acreage committee will
be received,
