THE BASE LINE BRIDGE.
Some Changes Will .Probably BE
rlade On t..

The County court visited the new base
line bridge southwest Of this city last
Friday. The bridge will have TO have
some more money spent on it. In order
TO avoid too deep cut through bluff
oue end, and to lessen the height Of pier
aud fill at the other end, the bridge is
set on slant, one end being five feet
higher than the other. The high ill in
the approach at the lower end has
washed out, wall aud all. The court
will probably order span in the
approach to avoid the difficulty Of max
ing the fill stick. The court is of the
opinion that the vibrations of the bridge
when in use cause it to gradually crawl
in the direction in which the lower end
points, thus tending to throw the pier
at the lower end out Of plumb. They
will probably order the high end dropped
the five feet, thus putting the bridge
level. 1t will be quite an expensive
undertaking.

PROHIBITION IN KANSAS,
A Former Deweyite Says 1t Is A
Success.
Severy, Greenwood, Co., Kansas
May - 1898.


Editor Jasper News--
1t has been about IL months since l
left the Dewey neighborhood aud since
tlat have been living in prohibition
state. The prohibition clause i'll the
constitution reads thus: lit shall he
unlawful for any .person or persons 10
man ufacture or sell intoxicating liquors
IN thus state; except for mechanical or
medical. PURPOSES.
some say It's a failure b cause it does
not prohibit. Let me say 1t is not a
failure for il does prohibit toa very
lroat extent. 1t is true few large
citius like Wichita, Leaveworth aud Ft.
Scott b ave their joints. but it is safe to
say that ~ out of ~ villages and cities
do enforce the law and do prohibit the
sale of any kind of liquor. l will say in
my city which is about the size Of Jas
per there is no liquor sold even 30 in
Eureka tho county seat and all other
villages in the county. Six are in the
County Jail for selling liquor aud will
be prosecuted u. the extent o. the. law :"
A few men here send to Joplin aud have
a few jugs full sent over all boxed up
and hiGe ou and drink it. Not pint Of
whisky can he bought at any drug store
in this county not ever. in case OF sick
ness. have never seen a person under
the influence ot, liquor .in this county
only when it was sent over from Joplin
in Jugs aud then the. jug in q. box.
The records show that CRIME 10 Kansas
10 on the decrease and the records show
that crime in the state of Missouri is on
he increase. We have. few er. prisoners
in the Kansas "pen" according 10 the
pol ulation than any state in the union,
and Missouri has more prisoners in her
"pen" than any one prison in the world.
This county has terms Of the district
court and not single case on the
criminal docket. A great. many counties
in Kansas have not had criminal case
for years, so me counties have nc. jail.
The Jasper news., 1903-06-04

lie law can be strictly aud easily .cnfor-
ced whenever the county attorney is ths
kind Of stuff. The city Of Topeka last
year had 100 open joints day and night
This spring a fight was made on the
election Of mayor aud seven thousand
women cast their votes for the tenn
perance candidate and he was elected 10y
a large majority, hence their is no Joint
at the. State capital not even permit
to the druggists
In the city of Chicago there are COO
churches and COCO saloons. 1he most OF
the churches are only open about one
tenth OF the time, then with high price
seats and the saloons are open all the
time day and night with free seats and
free lunch, hence the churches can not
compete,with the saloons. 1t is now safe
TO Say n nation Of cities is the destiny
Of America. In few more years the
cities will give a majority OF two
million at nstional election. As the
cities grow larger the saloon grows
stronger and the churches grow weaker.
There are only half as many Protes-
lants in the great cities to the popula-
ton as there. were so years ago, so says
the record.ofNew York. There are ?
millions people insNew York that never
go to church because.there is no place
to go. In New York the 6 leading
denomination have fallen 81 per cent be-
low the increase Of population, less than
one percent of the people attend church

THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS
FOR WESTERN CANADA.

"There will be thousands of Amer
leans coming up here in the Spring."
was the remark made by farmer
from the vicinity of Langdon, North
Dakota, when he arrived in Winni-
peg, Manitoba, the capital of West
ern Canada, few days since. He
was the advance guard of a large
body who are following him, and he
has already invested in several farm
ing sections for himself and others
and purposes to take up his perma-
nent abode in this country. He went
on to say: Hundreds are coming
from my district alone. l know this
to be a fact, for many of them are
neighbors of mine. The chief topic
of conversation with the farmers is
the coming immigration in the
spring"
1.-THE impression general in the
part of Dakota where | live that
more bushel for wheat on the
American side of the line than on
the Canadian, has not prevented peo-
pie from turning their eyes to Cam
ada as a place to live in. They know
they can get land in this &C Gntry
which is every bit as fertile as that
in Dakota at about one-quarter the
price. 1t is safe to say that the
exodus from Dakota into Canada this
year will exceed the expectations of
all Canadians"
