SALOON PETITION FAILS
Temperance Element in Emmett
County Wins Another Fight
Against Saloon.
KNOCK OUT MuLcr PETITION
Effort Following Election to Secure
Required Number Of Signatures to
Establish Saloons at EstherviIIe Is
FaiIure-GeneraI News Of the
State.
Special to Times-Repuplican.


Estherville, Dec. 9. = After thirty
days of persistent work on the part Of
the parties in charge of the saloon pc
tition it was found lacking something
less than hundred names of the re-
quired IS per cent, and was therefore
abandoned shortly before the time linn
it expired for filing. The failure Of the
petition indicates that public senti-
ment has not changed materially in
the last two years when the last Pc
tition was circulated, and failed by
narrow margin.
The general prosperity and the Inn
provements within the city, and the abb
sence OF criminal proceedings In the
courts of the county, the last grand
Jury being in session less than two
hours, was pointed out to the people
by the temperance workers, coEse-
uuently business men were loath to sign
the petition, tho one Of the local edl-
tors claims 1t was dissension among
the petitioners that caused the defeat.
1t seems that at first the names wer:
easily secured and 1t seemed that sal
oons were assured, when dispute a.
rose as to who was to be the proprle-
tors of the saloon. The last few names
were not so easily secured tho every
body was presented with the opportu-
nifty to sign, men who had the honor OF
saying they had never been asked to
sign did not escape this time.

Commerce and Labor Bulletin
Recognizes Perfection Of
Alarm Systems.
THE ELECTRIC ALARM SYSTEM
Results of Extent to Which Electrioi-
ty Is Used In This Connection, At
tract Considerable Attention-som
statistics Relating to the Equip
mont In Iowa Cities and Towns

Special to Times-Republicah.
Iowa City, Dec. 9. - That the cities
in the state of Iowa have a very ade-
quate electric plant and fire patrol Is
the conclusion reached in bulletin
Of the department of commerce and
labor, which has just been filed with
the department of economics of the
state university.
The electric fire alarm has not been
developed until the latter part of the
nineteenth century, and 1T is stated
that even in the present day there are
a great number of small cities rang
ing from one to five thousand inhabi-
tants who still employ the old time
fire bell. During the last few years,
however, this has given way to the So
called siren whistles, that are much
more effective. The great objection to
the use Of similar alarms in larger cit
les, where an attempt is made to have
a semi professional fire department. g
that they attract to the fires large
crowd of mere spectators who do little
to aid in quenching the flames ana
only hinder the regular firemen. But
it is stated in the report that even as
late as 1855 there was such system
Of fire alarms in the city of New York,
where great bells were placed in high
towers in the different fire districts. !,
The investigations IN Iowa disclosed
the fact that there are nineteen cleo
trio fire ALARM systems. They own,
collectively, 40 miles of pole mounted
wire and lease 294 more miles, total
of 1913 miles of mile. There are $40
boxes at which alarms can be turned
in. The equipment of the central OIL
ces embraces &c special telephones.
automatic transmitters, rs receiving
registers, SO receiving conduits. So
conduits. telegraph
switchboards and with this equipment
there were received 1907 fire calls.
There are no telephone switchboards IN
the central offices and no central sta
ton power equipment. There are,
however, 542 primary battery cells and
1888 storage cells.
In the electric police patrol, Daven-
port is the only city having an under
ground conduit for two miles OF Its
wire. There are three systems with
wire mileage of IS miles. There are
AZ signalling boxes and 2s telephoning
boxes, besides Z special telephones. Po-
lice calls received or sent amounted to
1888 by telephone and 169,66o by
other means. The equipment of the
central offices contains 1 manual trans
mitter and / automatic, receiving re-
gisters, 80 receiving circuits. 50 trans
hitting circuits, and in the batteries 81
primary cells and $50 storage cells.

Muscatine, Dec. with one arm
outstretched where he had fallen after
having cr,lwled from the river, the ooos
of Milo Godfrey, the third OF the erio
who met death Saturday afternoon

accident, late yesterday. The pody was
frozen stiff, evidences showing tnat ne
bod coma TO his death from cold and
exhaustion after having made a terri
fic struggle for his life amidst the Ice
foes of the river. His heavy felt boots
had been kicked off and his overcoat
was missing. it being presumed that he
had discarded them before he leaped
into the water after the boat had been
struck by the ice.
The discovery Of the body was pure
4ly accidental. All day long the heart
breaking search had been kept up by
the sons of the dead man, who were
determined to never cease their
search as long as it was possible to
continue. Warren Fowler, one
OF the men who was assisting in the
search, accidentally stumbled upon the
body.
When the boat in which the three
men We're crossing the river Saturday
was overturned Mr.. Godfrey, who was
of powerful physique and had
enormous strength, evidently seized
hold of the ice foes and drifted down
the stream struggling for his life, I'M
til he struck the water over the sand
bar and crawled out on the shore, and
up the bank to die. He evidently in
tended making for the cottage of Nor
man Butler. who resided a short dis
lance across the island. Weakened
by the struggle he crawled along until
he dropped and his spirit was releas-
ed. The pitiful story of the tragedy
was shown in every weakened posture
Of the body-in every crushed plant
over which he had painfully drawn his
towards safety showed what was pass
ing thru his mind. What thoughts
of sorrow and anguish were his in his
last moments will never be known He
alone was near Grover Els and his
son Seth Godfrey, when the water
closed ever their heads, and he was
left alone in the river. Numbed by the
cold he had fought on with grim de-
termination and had died after chear-
ing. the river while those who would
have aided in the search thought he
was within its hungry depths. He
could rot have lived over five minutes
after he crawled out, as he began
freezing as soon as he reached land,
so it is conceded.
Was in Good State.
Ihe body was in an excellent state,
OF preservation and the features were
lifelike and calm. The funeral will
be private, and will be held today, az
ter which the remains will be shipped
