CATHOLICS OPPOSE SALOONS.

Concerted. Action Of Davenport Priest:
Against Liquor Evil.
Special to. Times Republican,.
Davenport, Jan. 2o.-The pastors OF
all the Catholic churches in Daven-
port preached temperance sermons yes
terday along the same line, condemnine
the ali-night saloons, the wine room
and the gambling houses of the city
The general trend was that the saloons
should be closed at midnight or there
abouts and that the wine rooms should
be closed entirely and the gambling
houses done away with.
1t Is reported that this Is the begin
ming of crusade in this direction and
that there Will be further developments
later.
At st. Mary's church, Father Ryan
the pastor, talked on the same lines. He
thought that the all -night saloon was
one of the greatest evils which the peo-
pie of the city aid to contend against
1t kept the men out all nights and of
fered an inducement to them TO fofsake
their homes. The wine rooms and the
gambling houses also came in FOR a
sharesaf the blame for the corruptness OF
the city.
Father Fiannery at St. Anthony's
church at both Masses preached
against the same evils He said that
1T not only was temptation to the mer
but to the women also. He said thai
several times when he had had occasion
to be out at right making sick calls he
had encountered many women on the
street drunk at early hours in the
morning.
He thought that 1T would not be ne
icessary for the people to take any def
mite steps to suppress the evils, but that
the mayor, If he knew the people were
behind him would take steps to close
the saloons at midnight and do away
with the wine rooms and gambling
houses.
The unanimity with which the Catho-
lie clergymen have taken up the matter
leads to the belief that the attack has
been planned and they intend to exert
all their endeavors to rid the city OF
some OF the evils which have been al
lowed to exist unauestioned for years.

Clinton, Jan. 2O.--The agitation of the
saloon question is becoming one Of the
main topics of conversation here and
the question is becoming serious one.
A few evenings ago the mayor and a
majority of the members. of the coun-
ell" called a mass meeting to discuss
the subject of the falling off in the city's
revenues due to the closing of saloons
on account of the enforcement OF the
mulct law by the members of the Git
liens League, the active members of
which are the protestant ministers.
Special invitations were sent to busl-
ness men, but only two or three re-
sponded. However the building was
filled to the doors, largely with the sa
loon element. So far as the intent of
the meeting was concerned. it was a
failure as no business men We're pres
ent to express their opinion. Sunday
night, the ministers of the park
churches including the First Methodist,
Presbyterian, Congregational. and Bap-
fist, held a union meeting and eacn
minister was given ten minutes to dis
cuss some phase of the question. The
Presbyterian church, the largest in the
city, was crowded, many business men
and some of the councilmen being pres
ent. The mayor and members of the
council were roasted to a turn by the
ministers, who charged that the city
council and mayor found themselves
unable to properly conduct the affairs
of the city and were trying to place the
responsibility on the shoulders OF
others.
Mayor Carver was elected to fill out
the unexpired term of the late Il. A.
Hughes and finds running the city a
more difficult proposition than he sup
posed. Ina public statement TO the
council he says the reduction In revenue
lis due to the closing of saloons. The
ministers suggested the tax be raised
from 5000 to $1,000.

she had no grounds for divorce, so as
a last resort to be happy together the
two decided to slope. This was Sat-
urday afternoon.
They took a team from the farm and
drove to South Amana. Here they left
the team and went to Oxford by train.
There they told the hotel clerk that the
woman was going to Iowa City and the
man to Davenport
Sheriff Hofer received telegram tc
arrest the couple. He and Deputy
Dvorsky reached the depot just as the
train was pulling out, so they wired to
West Liberty to the officers to stop the
runaway couple. Bergman and Mrs.
Floerschinger were arrested on the
train. With them they had two jugs
of wine, and Bergman had evidently
discarded Cupid for Bacchus. He was
feeling quite merry, and in spite of both
their protests, they were taken back tc
Marengo.
The son-in-law met the woman at the
train and took her home. 1t Is stated
that her mental condition made her not
responsible for her act. Bergman was
taken into custody at Marengo.

first of a number of creditors who. it is
expected, will land on the receiver.
The accusing claimant is the Holzer-
Cabot Electric Company, of Boston,
represented by Attorney j. B. Robinson.
The charge in brief, are that Johnson
by fraudulent representations induced
this company to assign its claim at 10
cents ON the dollar, to his own profit;
that he appropriated $1,000 Of the es-
tate funds, the secret removal OF $500
worth of the companys property, and
failure to make an itemized accounting
of his transactions.
The charges are made in the form of
objections to Johnson's final report.
Objections to the report were filed last

ager for the company, says the COM
pany is after business and they believe
the money paid to Mr.. Carpenter will be
brought back to them by the farmers,
some of whom, he says, should get four
times the product from their COWS that
they now get for the same feeding. The
idea is that the farmers will be quick to
appreciate the benefits derived from
Mr.. Carpenters work and will throw
their business to the Palmer-Hubbard
Company. Mr.. Carpenter will have his
headquarters at Waterloo. where the
company is building the largest butter
factory in the state.

Des Moines. Jan. 20.-Governor Cum
Minis has set his foot down on prize
fighting in Iowa, and because of his at
titude the expected prize fight In Dav-
export tonight will not take place. The
governor has written q letter to the
sheriff of Scott county quoting to him
the law against prize fighting and di-
recting him to enforce it.
Over a week ago there was carni-
val of pugilism in Davenport, which
went on without interference from the
authorities. No complaints reached the
governor and no official information re-
garding the contest came to him before
the event, and he did not seek to pre-
vent it. Several days ago. however
complaints came to the governor from
various parties that another contest
was being arranged for. He sent in
uuiries to Davenport to ascertain the
facts and was informed from one source
there was no prize fight contemplated
and from another that one would be
held. On being apprised there would
be a prize fight he promptly wrote the
sheriff and ordered all prize fighting
prevented.
THE contest planned for this evening
in Davenport was regarded as sort OF
test Of the attitude of the authorities
here, and had it been hell other good
bouts would have been arranged at an
early date. A special dispatch from
Davenport last evening said, under date
OF Jan. 10:
"Joe Flaherty of Lowell, Mass, and
Hayes Muhs of Durant. are to meet In
the ring here tomorrow night for a ten
round contest. Owing to the action OF
Governor Yates that has stopped prize
fighters in Illinois and inquiries known
to have been received here from Cover
nor Cummins of Iowa, this is regarded
as a sort of test case. If the contest Is
not stopped the American Athletic As
ISOLATION expects to bring Adam Ryan
and Ole Olson here from Chicago for
boxing contests before the end of the
month"

SAD DEATH OF A BRIDE.
Married Only One Hour When She
Brcathed Her Last.

Two notices appeared in the News
and Courier Of Thursday, aud all who
read them, whether knowing any of
the parties concernedo or not, must have
been touched. The first told OF the
marriage of two young people the sec
ond gave notice of the death of the
bride. 1t was very sad little story,
involving life and love and death, all,
it seemed, in one chapter, and in the
city many spoke of it and breathed a
sigh for the husband, bereaved while
the minister's words were still ringing
in his ears.
1t was Wednesday evening that
Charles Calhoun Tylee and Annie 5.
Malone, having decided to wait no
longer on convalesccncc that did not
hasten, and rising from bed OF illness
the girl, who had plighted her troth
to the young man Of her choice, stood
beside him, supported by. his strong
arm, and said in a clear and unheSi-
tating voice the words that made
them one, while life doth last" +"
There were but few friends present
and the ceremony prescribed by the
Episcopal Church was conducted by
the Rev. A. Il. Cornish, rector OF st.
Johns, Hampstead. The bride was
especially bright, considering her ill
ness, and the family and friends were
thinking that maybe the new condi-
tionS and the strengthened bonds Of
love would prove a medicine more
powerful than all others and stay the
hand of the Reaper that had already
cast his grim shadow in the home.
When the ceremony was over Mr..
and Mrs. Tylec prepared to leave their
house, and in very short time were
al No 93 Nassau street, where every
thing had been arranged for the home
coming of his bride. The door was
opened and scarce past the threshold
the two had passed when, with a
sigh, the wife of but an hour passed
away in her husbands arms.
Mr.. Cornish, who had been called
away soon after the marriage, receiv-
ed another message Il little later and
fastened To the house where Mr. and
| Mrs. Tylec had gone, and there stood
bedside the bedside OF the bride.

who had attended the wedding We'd
