that he had permitted his wife to

"She was rustler when met her."
Tagg explained in his own defense.
That makes no difference" re-
piled the court. IF you had a bit Of
self respect you would cease taking
the dog out for exercise and rolling
cigarettes and go to work for liv-
ing. A man who will permit his wife
to wheedie men out Of money for
beer and live of of her earnings is
too mean for my comprehension"
Tagg was fined $25 and costs.

REGULARS OPPOSING
IN WAR GAME TODAY

FIT. RILEY, Oct. l9.-The weather
today favored the maneuvers of the
two opposing armies of regulars. The
military takes part tomorrow.
One of the most important objects
of the maneuvers is to afford to Off
GERS of the several arms an opportunity
for observing the evoltions and capa-
bilities of the other arms. Thus the
cavalrymen will see what the infantry
and artillery are doing and the artil-
lery will get some more definite notion
of the sort of cooperation which may
be expected from the infantry and cav
airy. The value of this is obvious. OF

special 20 the Evansville Courier.
PETERSBURG, Ind. Aug. 2lst.
This town for the first time in it,
history is dry, but the "hoC zers'
do not have hard time finding any
Thing to drink.
A year ago there were seven sa-
looms, four drug stores and one
marshal here. Now there are three
drug stores and two marshals. The
saloons were all put out Of business
By the blanket remonstrance.
The liberal ele ment contend there
is as much liquor consumed as ever,
and that il requires two officials TO
keep the peace a. compared 10 one
a year ago.
About fifty cases OF beer are
brought here every day from Wash
ington, eighteen miles north Of here.
Owing to the great amount OF the
"amb n hIid' brought over here
on the evening train, the train is
known as the 'beer express The
man in the town who has the Job
Of hauling the express says if his
business keeps on increasing he
will resign mis- job.
A wholesale house has been OPEN
ed and beer is sold at wholesale
prices, and whisky may be had un-
der the same conditions.
Many Of the business men are
complaining that because OF the
closing Of the saloons the farmers
near town are going to other points
to do their trading. They say Jas
per, Hazelton and Oakland City are
the towns that are flourishing at the
Expense of Petersburg.
The tcwn council is worried over
the loss OF the revenue since the
saloons went out Of business. The
corporation license for saloons is
$50 a year. and the seven saloons
brought in revenue for the school
fund Of 81 $50. The town has a
population Of nearly 5000 people.
II is probable that at the next
session Of the commissioners court
there will be several applicants for
liquor license.
Said one citizen: 81 do not be
lieve it is good business policy tc
deprive the school fund of thi.
amount. So much liquor il con
sumed here each day any way,
whether the saloons are running ol
mot. If the closing Of the saloons
prevented the sale OF liquor here i
would be all right, but it does not
And another thing it takes an ex
