IOWA, SALOON MEN WILL PRE-
SENT COMPLAINTS BEFORE
THE LEGISLATURE.
Meeting Held In Des Moines Yester-
day ~ Members Of ottumwa Retail
Liquor Dealers Association Want
Better Legislation.

Notwithstanding the fact that there
were no local representatives at the
meeting of the Iowa retail liquor deal
ers which opened in Des Moines yester
day, the members of the Ottumwa Re-
tail Liquor Dealers association are
very much dissatisfied with the pres
ent legislation and are in favor of the
back end" consent and holiday clos
ing complaint which the representa-
tives at the Des Moines meeting yes
terday have decided to lay before the
thirtieth general assembly.
In the matter of what is known as
the back end" consent, the retailers
complain that the necessity of getting
the consent of property holders in the
rear of saloons reduces the available
liquor stands one-half, and consequent
ly makes high rents. Such q condition
not only directly increases the running
expenses. but gives the combine sa-
loon, and agencies Of the big distillers
and brewers, a better chance to corner
the liquor business. The retailers be-
lieve such regulations are not prop
er return for the public to make them
for their services.
AS to the unreasonableness of such
a regulation the dealers set forth that
| inasmuch as there are no back doors
to the saloons, the property owner in
the rear has no more practical interest
in the running of the saloon than has
the property holder 800 feet away in
the other direction.
Say Drug Stores Sell on Holidays.
Local representatives of the state
association say that they object to the
| holiday closing law, because they
| know that the saloons dominated by
| the larger interests are running and
that the drug stores are selling liquors
in unlimited quantities on these days;
and they would like to have a fail
chance to hold their share Of the
| trade.
Planning for the Future.

sive, il any changes in the liquor laws
to be made by this Legislature" sale

there is no agitation, the impression
would prevail that the law was per
fectly satisfactory and the saloon.
would make no changes. We wan
to agitate for the future. The result.
of this winters convention are ex
pected to be more in the nature O

machinery. The mill VII be running by the first of the year and perhaps be- fore. The completion 0f the ice plant and the temporary power plant has al- ready been mentioned.
 Work on the Roosevelt road is being pushed rapidly and good progress is being made. It will be sufficiently completed sometime in October, so one may drive over it with a team. With the exception of two bridges which will be finished this month, the road is now completed from Roosevelt to a poiht almost at the top of Fish Creek hill. The camp at the top of the hill is working this way and by the first of the month will join the force that is working east from the intermediate camp. By the end of the month, also Utting will move his camp from Nor mon flat to Tortilla flat and work east wardly toward Mesquite flat. The only breaks in the road by the first of the month, therefore. will be a short one between Thompson and Fitzgerald's camps near the Fish Creek hill and a longer one between Utting's and Harp hams camps.

AMONG THE POLITICIANS
Wbat Will Probably Happen at Pres.
 colt Today.

The town was pretty well filled up yesterday with gentlemen on political errands. There were several of the delegates to the democratic territorial convention who remained in the city over night and all the southern dele gates to the republican territorial con vention at Prescott today came in on the AIaricQpa and Phoenix and the Phoenix aid Eastern and left this morning for the north.
 For days a great deal of curiosity as to what will be done at Prescott has been manifested. It has been re- ported for the last week that the nomi- nation for delegate in congress would go to B. A. Fowler, but it was stated last night that the gentlemen who are in control of the situation had decided to nominate W. T. Cooper of Tucson. It has been thought all along that Mr Fowler could have the nomination if he desired it. More than month ago a telegram was received from him say ing that he could not accept it in any circumstances but it has been giv- CT out since then that he had chang ed his position and had informed his friends that he would take the nomina-

ton if by doing so he could serve the party.
 Many of his friends in the valley have from the beginning believed that he could better serve the interests of the valley in his present position and it is understood that yesterday letters and telegrams were sent him at Pres colt asking him to decline the honor.
 One of the wings of the Maricopa delegation in the |, democratic territorial convention had not quite recovered from its de- feat of the day before and predictions were made that the action of the con ventiOn in suppressing the Bell amend ments would be felt by the democratic candidates for the county offices and by Mark Smith 90 far as this county is concerned.
 It transpired yesterday that the ter ritorial socialist party is also not with out it's troubles. II was first in the field with a candidate for delegate EugenS Godat, who was nominated at Prescott three months ago. Mir. Godat is not a gentleman of fixed habitation and now that the campaign is 2p- preaching his postoffice address has been lost and the party finds itself headless. A letter was received in this city from members of the party in the north inquiIiEg if a candidate for dele gate could not be supplied by Phoenix.

THE TOURNAMENT SPORTS.

There was a very good crowd at Eastlake park yesterday to witness the cowboy tournament sports. The best time made in the steer tying events was by Oscar Roberts who tied his steer in thirty seconds. The bronco riding was good, in fact the equal of any that has been seen at the park. Some new features will be presented in today's programme. Among them will be religious dance by a, band of Yaqui Indians and there will be an event in which number of boys under fifteen years of age will participate in a calf tying contest. Lots of sport is promised and the steer tying begun yesterday will, of course, be continu- ed today as also will the bronco rid ing.

STOLEN AND RECOVERED.
Colored Woman Took Mrs. J. c. L.
Harris Diamond Brooch.

Col. J. c. l.. Harris had diamond
a colored woman. and had her bound over
to court. all in one day-ytsterday. The
diamond was set in brooch belonging to
Mrs. Harris. Yesterday morning a col
ored woman went to see Mrs Harris,
saying she wanted to buy pair of old
shoes Mrs. Harris was in her bedroom.
and the drawer in which the brooch lay
was open While the colored woman was
in the room the phone bell rang, and
Mrs Harris stepped out into the hall to
answer the phone, leaving the drawer
open.
Mrs. Harris did not have a pair of shoes
to fit the woman, and she asked for some
thing to eat, and was sent to the kitchep.
Soon after she had gone the brooch was
missed. When Col. Harris returned
home in the middle of the day from the
court house, he saw the woman just back
of his yard. Calling up Officer Belvin, he
set out in pursuit, and they caught up
with her on Blount street. Her name was
Any Walker, and she protested her limo
cence vociferously. A search tailed to
disclose the brooch, but finally OFFICER
Belvin noticed bulge in her apron. She
said she just had biscuit in a pocket
Investigation showed that it was the
brooch, in pocket made on the in
side of the apron.
The woman was taken before Mags-
trate NJ. B. Barbee, who held her for
court on a charge of larceny.

rapher and chief clerk, testified to visits
of DR.. and Mrs Lorenz to Machen at has
office but declared on examination
that during the several conversations she
was present and heard nothing said
about letter box fasteners. James E.
Bell. Superintendent of Delivery of the
Washington City postoffice, testified that
the Croft fastener had been adopted with
out a report on it having been submitted
by him, although it would have been his
duty to make such report as the fastener
was tried first in this city. John f.
Clark, letter carrier, described the fail
ure of the fastener to work at test
made in 1894 in this city, at which
Machen and Samuel A. Croft were pres
emit, which. he said caused Machen to
remark to Croft at that time that unless
the fastener would work without sticking
he would not recommend it's adoption.

Tonight.

A comedy of rare merit, if the judg-
ment of eminent critics and the unstinted
applause and commentator Of the thea
tregoing public as 4 criterion are To be
relied upon, is His Excellency the Gov
ernor," announced for production at the
Metropolitan tonight by Miss Sadie Mar
tinot and her capable supporting COM
pany., Originally produced at the Ly-
ceum Theatre in New York near the close
of the regular season, it ran far beyond
the term it was intended to fill, and the
next season was reproduced at the En-
pire heatre and renewed it's SUCCESS for
nearly two hundred performances.
The New York Commercial Advertiser
says of its initial presentation: His
Excellency the Governor, played at the
Lyceum last night is one of the funniest
pieces of pure, sparkling comedy given In
New York in years. Were the season
younger it would be likely to achieve a
very extended run, for the amusement of
the audience was unusually genuine. To
the actors belongs large share of this
result, but the play itself, with it's bril-
liant lines and ingenious situations, is
wholly made up of real humor, fresh and
decided Glitter and surprise in dialogue
are supplemented by sympathetic interest
in the story not inconsistent with the
vein of light comedy that runs through
the structure. 1t is nearly three hours
Of polished, refined and scintillating fun,
and as such is in every respect a substan-
tial, solid and decided success
