,Anti-Saloon Forces at Jesup to
Stop Saloons at That Place
by Buying Them
WOULD MAKE 1T A DRY TOWN
They Believe It Would Be Cheaper to
Buy the Saloon Business Than to
Fight II ia the courts-Some Difficult
" in Preventing New Thirst Parlors
Starting.
Special to Times-Repunlican.

Waterloo. June %. A gentleman
from Jesup was in the city yesterday
and told of one of the most noVe'
methods employed by the temperance
people to fight a saloon, that mas yet
been heard of. The condition of affairs
at Jesup is pretty well understood by
Waterloo people who have been read
ers of the daily papers. A new admin
istration went into force this spring
and the mayor and city council gave
their tacir consent to the establish
ment of saloon, which has been OPP
Grated with considerable profit. This
Is the first saloon that has been per-
mitted to run in that place for TWEEN
ty-three years. Those opposed to the
open place where liquors might De
purchased by the public, have en-
deavored TO arouse public opinion 10
| the point where the Illegal institution
might be put out of business. But IN
this they have been unsuccessful and
the latest method of putting a stop to
the institution is to buy it out.
The idea of fighting a saloon by buy
ling it is certainly a new one in tenn
perance work. The gentleman who
was in the city yesterday. who is a
member of the city council and is pre-
stunned to be familiar with the circum-.
stances, states that the temperance
people have offered the proprietor of
the saloon $3.50 If he will go out of bus
iness and turn the building over to
them. This figure viii probably be in
creased by the temperance people If
at Is not accepted. 1t is argued that
1t is much cheaper to buy out sa-
loon than 1t is to fight it in the courts,
and the result would be the same.
There is no assurance however, that
Some other man will not be anxious
to start drinking place after the pres
emit place has been closed up by the
temperance people. II this new insti-
tutinn were to be bought out and the
custom continued, it would have a
tendency to bankrupt the temperance
people.

DAKOTA MAN LOSES CASH.
Arrives in Council Bluffs Minus Money
and Pocketbock.

Special TO Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, June 27.-John Travis.
superintendent of the Clark county,
South Dakota poor farm, accompanied
by his wife and little daughter. arrived
in Council Bluffs en- route to the st.
Louis exposition. Whether they will
continue their journey or return home
is a matter of doubt. The truth of the
matter is when Mr.. Travis arrived in
the city he had little left except his
baggage and return transportation,
outside of some small change, which
his wife carried in her pocketbook.
On leaving Huron Mr.. Travis had
tucked away in pocketbook in his
inside pocket 500 in greenbacks, and
draft on his home bank for $50. On
reaching the transfer depot here Mr..
Travis had occasion to make requisi-
ton on the greenbacks, when to his
dismay he discovered that his pocket
book and all his money had vanished.
Mr.. Travis, who is an elderly gen.
tleman. of an apparently benevolent
disposition. remembered having had a
more or less interesting conversation
on the train with two strangers who
were, like him, bound for the ST. Louis
exposition, and he thinks 1t possible
that they may have succeeded in abb
stracting the pocketbook unawares to
him.
