COUSINS PICNIC.

Cousins. l am in favor of the
kind editors naming a day and
place to have our picnic during the
beautiful month of May. They
treated us so royalty last year that
l feel like it is our duty to be as
nice to them as they were to us.
Grandfather Barleycorn has prom
ised to furnish a crate of straw
berries and l am sure he will
be as good as his word, so please,
Mr.. Editors, let us hear from you
at once. Gypsy.
Thank you, Gipsy; we certainly
would enjoy your treat very much,
and some time in May, as you sug-
gest, would be a beautiful season
for the occasion. But we selected
the place last year. Please relieve
us of the responsibility of dong
this. Anywhere will suit us. We
would suggest that you leave it to a
vote of the cousins.

ANT1-sALooN LEAGUE.
President Folk Outlines The Plans
of League.


of League.
There will be a battle royal in
Tennessee this year between the
temperance advocates and the
whiskey men, which will be fought
outjn the Legislature which meets
in January next. Already the
leaape has sent out pledges to be
signe by candidates for the Legis-
lature, pledging themselves to vote
for an extension of the Adams bill
and for a measure to more rigidly
enforce prohibition laws in ''dry"
counties. The leagues attention
will now be directed toward the
large cities such as Memphis and
Nashville and the wards will be
tno points of the attack.
II is the announced purpose of
the leegue to carry the war into
the lafge cities, such as Nashville
and Memphis by giving the wards
the right to vote on the question
ofwhether whiskey shall be sold
in their respective ward limits or
not. DR.. Folk writes:
"What of the future? The pro-
gramme of the Anti-Saloon League
is:
II. Rigid enforcement of the
four-mile law in towns which now
come under its operation, and to
this end the vigorous prosecution
of all Its violators, "blind tigers"
"bootleggers" or whatever name
called.
80. The extension of the law as
soon as possible to all the towns
in the State that want it, giving
them the privilege of voting upon
the question of having saloons,
either by corporations, as now, or
by wards in the larger cities.
"If it should. be said that the
law could not be enforced in the
large cities, l have simply to re-
ply that if there is sufficient pub
lie sentiment to vote out saloons,
then there would he sufficient pub
lie sentiment to enforce the law.
If, on the other hand, there would
not be sufficient public sentiment
to enforce the law, then there
would not be sufficient public SEN
timent to vote the saloons out.
Certainly those towns whose citi-
zens have been pleading for the
privilege of having vote on the
question should be given that
privilege.
SO. The regulation of saloons
in towns where they may still re-
main, so as to minimize, as far as
possible, their direful influence.
s'As seen from the above pro-
instead of being ended,
the work of the Anti.Saloon
League in Tennessee is just begun.
''No temperance law in Ten
nessee has ever been repealed, and
none will ever be. A prominent
politician told me that So per cent.
Of the people of the State are in
favor of temperance. The wet
and dry counties in the State show
about the same proportion, as also
did the votes in the house on the
Adams bill. With S5 per cent. of
the State behind the leaders of the
Anti Saloon League, they do not
fear either the saloonkeepers, the
liquor dealers or the
brewers and distillers, either in ,,
or the United States,

Davenport, May 17.-Another tangle

which it appears that Judge John r.

The matter came to light by Heinz &

It seems that Judge Dillon loaned
Smith $1,000, and the latter as secur-

213 acres of land just south of Schuet-
zen park. The mortgage was made
out from August Rolffs tc, S. F. Smith

security. John Dillon knew little of
the matter until he came here and he
then learned that the property on
which the mortgage was held had been
among the properties assigned in the
trust deed in which Smith conveyed
all he had to the two trustees.
Judge Dillon Immediately assigned
the mortgage to his son. Hiram p. Dill

Nevada, May 17.-Sammy, the IL
year-old son OF Mr.. and Mrs Hans Q.
johnson. living on a farm southwest OF
this city on Skunk river bottom, dis
appeared from his home on the I'D
of April and nothing has been heard of
his whereabouts since. When the lad
first disappeared his parents thought
that he would soon return, but as the
time of his absence heightened from a
day to score of days they began to
get anxious about the boy and have
made all inquiries possible to locate
him, but without avail. He is a lad
rather short, but heavy-set for his ags,
with blue eyes and light hair and will
probably seek work on farm. No rea-
son is given by the parents for his mys-
teious disappearance. The boy had al
ways stayed at home, had experienced
no trouble there and had not been in
the habit of keeping bad company
which would be likely to lead him
astray. The father, whose address Is
Ames, Iowa, would be glad to hear of
any information, regarding the where
abouts OF his missing son.
