DRUGGISTS SIGN PETITION.

The Fight on the Saloon Question at
Mason City Growing Hotter.
Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, Dec. 21.-In more than
one street argument 1t has been told
the preachers. of the city are fighting
the saloon petition that they, the
preachers and those opposed to the
saloon, were in the same class as the
druggists, as they, the druggists, also
were in favor Of keeping the saloon
out Of the city, and would not sign the
petition.
The druggists Of the city were watt
ing the proper time even though they
may have had some understanding
whether or not they would sign the
petition. What influence has been
brought to bear upon the druggists of
the city is not known but the state
ment has been made by those circu-
lating the saloon petition that the
names Of the druggists with the ex-
ception Of one, were placed upon the
saloon petition last night.
This news has brought relief into
the camps Of the anti saloon move
naent for they desired not to be class

druggists are all good fellows. The
Anti-s Saloon League as organized now
in the city is not alone for the pur-
pose of fighting the saloon petition,
but is for the purpose of fighting the
LIQUOR traffic. The liquor traffic may
be conducted in more ways than
thru the saloon and thus the Anti
Saloon League Of this city Is to be
up and doing as it has been expressed
by some of the leading workers.
In outlining the purposes for which
the Anti Saloon League is organized,
DR.. McCash said: 1--WE are fighting
that thing which Is called the saloon,
whether 1t is under the guise Of the
whisky drug store, the hole in the
wall, the tin roof, the bootlegger, the
blind pig, the dive, the booze joint or
whatever appellation 1t may have.
This is the thing that the league is
lighting and will continue to fight,
The state is getting better organized
every day and in the majority of cases
where the work Of the league and the
work of the league and the interests
OF the saloon have met the league has
been victorious

Punishment Remi.4.d.

Senator Dolliver of Iowa tells this
story on himself:
II reached certain small town dur
ing a campaign" said he, "and found
that the proprietor Of the hotel where
usually stopped was in Jail. He had
gone there Of his own accord rather
than pay a Judgment which he con-
sidered unjust He asked the sheriff
to please let him out tor two hours to
hear his old friend Dolliver speak The
sheriff agreed, and sent an order for
the release of the prisone: two hours
for that purpose.
"Then he considerably added AT the
end of the order: The rest Of your
punishment Is RENTED.

Davenport. Dec. 21.-The scene of the
terrible accident at Turnout Sunday
night, which resulted in the death Of
two men and manning Of number Of
others, now presents a desolate and
dreary aspect, and the tragic incidents
connected with the spot will always
render it one to be Stunned by the
farmers residing in the vicinity.
For a space several hundred yards
square the snow is grimy and black
from the smoke and SCOT which spread
forth in clouds Immediately after the
explosion of the boiler on the iii fated
1855. Within three feet of the west
bound track lies the monster tube Of
steel which was the primary cause
of the accident. Shorn Of cab, wheels,
cylinders, and In fact every accessory
1t is now simply an unshapely mass
of contorted steel, driven by the forca
of the explosion several feet into the
solid earth.
Fully 100 feet from the boiler a
wide piece of steel marks the spot
where the cab was blown. About $50
feet on the other side Of the boiler are
the cylinders which were also blown a
considerable distance by the tremend-
GUS force released with the explosion
These three parts Of the engine are in
tact in way, but the remainder is in
fragments, scattered over half mile
Of fields and along the entertainments
on either side Of the track.
Many Gruesome Relics.
At the spot where the explosion took
place the ground is thickly Uttered
with gruesome relics. Here a battered
hat, soiled glove, and there a piece Of
a signal flag and the massive driving
rod Of the mogul show the terrible
force which was exerted In one place
dark, red stains reveal the spot where
one or the other of the engine crew lay
while his life blood flowed forth.
High up on the en1bankment huge
piece Of steel tore Its way thru the
board fence at the side of the track
taking a whole panel with 1t. The sand
box and steam dome were blown into
the solid earth Of the embankment at
the side Of the main track. The wreck
ing crew had very little difficulty In
clearing the track as the engine was
broken up and the pieces driven in
various directions, but mostly off the
right Of way. The driving wheels new
er left the track and were simply haul
ed onto siding by the wrecking crew.
The boiler lay partly across the track
and this was soon packed up and rolled
off to one side.
Yesterday and today horde of the
morbidly curious swarmed over the
ground without 100 feet Of the accident
picking up blood stained relics Of the
tragedy. for keepsakes. Early yester-
day morning a party Of officials went
to the scene on a private car and look
ed over the battered remains Of the big
nogul

and more threes set out until the number
of trees In the ground was 25O,0 The
experiment became gradually fixed
policy. and Mr.. Mayer was sent all over
the lines Of the railroad in Pennsy'vani
for the purpose of buying up suiabl'
and available lands for tree growing
