About the General Out Look.
The Democrats have not won a
general victory for ten years, and have
grown some what used to defeat. 1t Is
the only political party in history that
has not dissolved under continuous de-
feat, which only proves that It's under
lying principles are indestructIble,
albeit false leaders may put it in false
positions. Democracy goes into the
fight next Tuesday on better grounds
than for ten years, and many Of its
leaders expect the results to give them
control of the next lower house of con-
gress, or at least to make material
gains. The greatest victory the
Courier expects is for the Democracy TO
obtain control of itself, within its old
teachings and traditions. This victory
won. victories at the polls will surely
follow, because majority of the people
OF the United States freed from preju-
dice as 10 extraneous policies and con.
ditions are democrats in principle.

THE LOCAL OPTION CONTEST
Saloon Men Stopped by njunc
ton.


The contest proceedings instituted by
the saloon men Of Fulton, seeking to
set aside the local option election
recently held in Fulton, came up for
hearing Monday before the County
Election Commissioners. or the Board
of Commissioners Messrs Knight and
Carpenter were present, and Mr..
Brann absent. Attorneys Herschel
Smith and Wheeler " Hughes repre-
sented the saloon side, and attorneys
Thos. Shelbourne and I. n. Smith. the
anti-ssloon side. The Anti Saloon LAWYERS
flied an injunction from the Circuit
Court Clerk stopping the County Flee
ton Commissioners from trying the
contest. which action transfers further
proceedings before Circuit Judce
Robbins. Judge Robbins can hear a
motion to dissolve this Injunction at
amy time, but 1t is thought that 1t will
not be brought to a hearing before the
january term Of the Court at Hickman
1t appears that the law requires the
County Judge to caIse the result of an
election to be put to record except in
case of contest. Notice of contest in
this election having been filed the
result of this election has not been put
TO record. The anti saloon LAWYERS now
assert their purpose by mandamus pro-
ceedings TO have the record naade
claiming that no legal contest has been
begun or filed, in other words that nnv
ontest to have been legal should hare
been brcght before the Circuit Cont
within ten days after the election and
# this contention be true then it is now
loo late to bring any such contest. ofl
course if this latter contention is sps-
'ained by the courts. the saloon people
IRE knocked out all along the line.
The motion for mandamus will no
heard before Judge Robbins at Mavfela

to his first story of the care of Becky

trustee of the estate, but could not
prevent her from going into debt or
keep people from suing her. For that

DISTRICT COURT APPEALS
An appeal was filed yesterday in the
case of H. E. Winslow, the physician
who was charged with assault and bat
terry upon a school girl Rose Lui.
Judge Wilcox sentenced him to Jail for
six months, but while at the Queens
Hospital Winslow made his escape. The
appeal was taken by the defendant.
Wong Shin King has appealed from
his conviction by Judge Wilcox, on a
charge of libel. The defendant is man

An appeal is noted also in the case
of Mrs. NJ. Markle, who was sentenced
to Jail for five days for DESERVING her
husband and refusing to return to him.
An appeal is taken in similar case
by Antoine Garcia, who was sentenced
to Jail for one month for refusing to
support his wife. The legality of the
law will probably be tested in the Cir
cult Court. on the ground that 1t is
contrary to the constitution, and the
provisions of the organic act.
The same question is involved in the
appeal of All Young, who is charged
with deserving her husband. At the
original hearing the defendant said she
left her husband because he wouldn't
support her mother. Judge Wilcox SEN
fenced her to ten days in Jail.

couldn't get them. Judge Gear finally
set the case for Tuesday, stating that
Davis would return on the Alameda

The dwelling house OF Frederick

ing with matches. Nearly every,
thing in the house was saved.
Owing to the fact that the village
water mains dos not extend to that
point, the facilities for fighting the
fire were limited to the bucket
brigade.
A large barn stocked with hay,
located but a few feet away, was
luckily saved through the favorable
direction OF the wind.
The loss falls very heavy on the
owner, as the dwelling had been
recently reconstructed. There was
no insurance.
