| Clinton, Sept. 1.-THE mayor of Gin
ton has caused another sensation here
by his utter disregard of the dignity OF
his Office. An escapada in which he
figured Friday night leads a local pa
per to inquire whether a mayor has
the privilege of exemption from arrest
;f found in the company of a woman
of questionable character when both
are disturbing the peace.
1t appears that on Friday night at II
named Mrs. Liza Bedford attracted the
attention of the police by rapid driving
up Sixth street, accompanied by loud
and boisterous language, not to say
profanity. There are hints made to the
effect that the couple were Intoxicated,
but the truth as to this appears to be
confined to the knowledge of the par
ties themselves.
Arriving at Main street the wheels
OF the carriage caugh. in the street
car tracks and Mrs. Bedford was
thrown out. The police arrested her
and it is said would have taken the
mayor into custody also had the chief
executive not threatened them with
discharge from the force. He also
made the same threat. it is said, If they
persisted in arres'ting his companion.
but the officers evidently concluded this
was carrying the matter a little, too
far. Mrs. Bedford was lodged in the
women's cell, where she spent the
night. appearing before Justice john
son for trial Saturday morning. The
charge was disorderly conduct and the
defendant was fined 81 and costs upon
entering plea of guilty. Mayor Far
yer paid her fine and escorted her to
carriage at the curb, the mayor driving
away with Mrs. Bedford UP Second
street. AS the party started off the
woman expressed her dssapproval of
the remarks of the greatly interested
bystanders by turning UP very ex-
pressive nose to a sharp angle and
making other facial distortions more
emphatic than polite.
The affair created a sensation here
and was the principal topic of CONVEX
sation on the streets Saturday.

terence were appointed. The financial

Resolutions highly complimentary to
Rev. Frank L. Loveland and his work
as pastor of the church for the past
five years, were unanimously adopted.
His power in the pulpit, his financial
of the many Improvements
of the church while he has been here,
and his helpful and inspiring leader
ship in all departments Of the church,
together with his kindly and social per-
sonality as a citizen has greatly en-
deared him to the church and the city.
He would be royalty received should he
consent to return for the sixth year,
but as he has announced his desire to
terminate his pastorate here, feeling
that his work might be more successful
In some new field, it is doubtful II he
can be induced to return.

WAR ON AT DYsART.
Crusade Against Saloons Which Are
Running in Violation Of Law.

| Special to Zines Republican.
| Traer, Sept. IA war has been be-
gun against the open violation of the
! liquor law by the saloons at Dysart. In
| face of the fact that there is a prohibit
| tory law on the statute books. from
three to four saloons have for many
years been running as openly and de-
| family as the dramshops Of st. Louis
| or Chicago; in fact. more so, because
| they recognized no law nor did they
exercise conscience. They paid $25
| per month each to the town. This
paid the rnarshal's salary, and it Is said
| he made no attempt to enforce the law
lagainst them.
Sentiment has been forming against
them. Their shameful conduct on the
Fourth of July greatly strengthened
| this sentiment. Not long ago a few
men banded themselves together and
determined to purify the air OF Dysart
| If possible. They have started the ball
and they declare 1t will not stop until
he, outlawcd SAILORS are wiped out Of
the town forever. A strong firm of at
torneys has been retained. Proceedings
have been commenced to secure tenn
porary injunctions. II successful this
VIII close the saloons uheu court coH-
venes. Judges have lately made tenn
porary injunctions permanent In near
ly every case, hence the attorneys
think they can easily close up the
joints permanently. If not they will
raid them repeatedly. They say they
have enlisted for the war and know no
such word as fail.
Following their action the saloon
keepers are called on to defend Them
selves in damage cases. One suffering
wife has begun suit against each of the
three for $500 damages for selling
liquor to her husband. Another suit is
contemplated. From all reports there
is occasion for several. 1t really looks
as if the day Of retribution for the Dy-
sart saloonkeepers is at hand.
