east siders thanked him as heartily for

that: "The bill is dead and will stay
50 for a while" The senator regrets
the view taken that his bill was trick
and states that 1t was open and its
purport was known to many when it
passed. The business of the bill as it
applied to other cities was realized by
both houses and only when it was found
that in the near future Waterloo
would be a city Of the first class and
that 1t would then apply to this city,
was 1t opposed. 1t was not class legis-

If it is determined and desirable that
the brewery, which was planned to be
built in Waterloo. be erected in Wav-
erly. The saloons in Waverly and in
other parts of Bremen county are OPP
Grated under that provision OF the

lated large part of the population of

culators of the petitions not only re-
ceived So per cent of the voters. but
nearly 10 per cent in Waverly and
about 80 per cent In the county out
side. The petitions were so worded
that it is believed it will not be neces-
sary to secure new petitions of consent

cry In our neighboring city. The petit
tons stated that the signers gave
their consent to the sale of intoxicants
under the mulct law, as it was origi-

ment that consent by given not only
for the sale Of intoxlcants. but for the
manufacture of the same. The object
of the visit Of the Waverly business
men, who are interested in the brew
cry project, was to consult the ablest
lawyers of the city as to whether it
would be necessary under the cireum-
stances to circulate new petitions.
One Of the gentlemen said that If the
Waterloo people who had subscribed
for stock In the brewery. on condition
that the institution should be located
in Waterloo. should retain the stock
even tho the brewery be built else
where, there would be no question that
Waverly would get the manufacturing
enterprise.

BERLIN, Aug. 6.-The German
crown prince enjoys the reputation of
being the best rider and the most
daring horseman in the kaiser's do
minions.
Not long ago he rode on horse
back up and down the long and steep
flight of rough stone steps which lead
to the castle of Sans Souci in Pots
dam. This daring feat was per-
formed in view of the first regiment
of guards in which the crown prince
is captain of a company. The specta-
tors watched the unique ride with
extreme alarm, for it seemed impos-
sible that the future emperor could
reach the top and ride down again
