Victory for Prohibitlonists.

suit which has attracted considerable interest has just been brought to an end in the circuit court here. Recently an election was held in the town of Ha- leyvile, Winston county, and the move ment to have the sale of liquor stopped in that town was carried by large majority, the measure to take effect on the first of next January.
 The liquor dealers of Haleyyille were not satisfied with the result and went to work to burst up the election. Both sides employed attorneys. w. c. Davis and J. D. Acuff were engaged by the prohibitonists. ana in searching the acts of the legislature for legislation bearing upon the case they accidentally found an act passed thirty years ago. which had never been appealed, prohibiting the sale of liquor ill the neighborhood of Ha- leyvile.
 This had tendency to quiet the whis- ky men and instead of having until the first of next January to close out their business they had to close their doors at once unless they could make terms.
 They were granted the privilege to run until the first of the year on certain con- ditions Similar conditions confront the men who rave been operating a saloon near Nauvoo.

Corporation Tax.

Concerning the matter of the reported unconstitutionalty of the law taxing for eign corpora tions the state officials would have little to say today Most of them had seen the report in the Age Herald and thought of 1t but they all had little to say about 1t.
 Chief Clerk Cook in the state auditor 8 office said he had not given the matter any thought and was not able at this time to tell just how much revenue the state would lose if the matter was de- clared Invalid. Auditor Sowell said he did not care to express an opinion, as he had so often to pass on such matters, he did not talk of them until they had been given careful study, which this had not. Attorney General Wilson said 1t would be time enough to discuss the question when it was brought up.

That is question easy to answer. but
not so easy to understand. In the first

universally known as "the most gen.

man or woman of her company was
ever permitted to suffer the experiences
Of poverty. The critics may say that
she is bad actress. Actors and act
resses will say that she is the most
generous, the most unselffish, the most
cordial. noble spendthrift that the stage
ever knew. She was the despair of
thrifty managers and the delight OF
