First Appearance of Anti-saloon
League Representative There,
Excites Speculation
lNJuNcTIoNs ARE THREATENED
An Important Proposition is Being Dis

SDeCldl To
Dubuque. July 9.--Rev. l. N. McCash,
d. D.. of Des Moines, preached here
Sunday in the morning at the First
Congregational church, and in the
evening ut the First Baptist church.
His presence in this city is believed
ITO herald an anti-saloon movement
here. 1t was the first appearance of
an anti saloon league representative in
this city, and Rev. McCash drew large
crowds
DR.. McCash touched on local condi-
tons as well as on the situation thru
out Iowa. His words may become
important for there is great deal of
discussion of the situation and very
quietly an important proposition is
being discussed among the active
prohibitionists of the city. This is
nothing less than the clubbing together
to secure injunctions for violation of
the mulct law.
The step has not yet been deter
mined on but several people promi-
nent in the prohibition movement af-
firmed that steps We're being planned.
Among these was Rev. J. W. Graves.
pastor of the First Baptist church and
thorough foe Of saloons. Mr.. Graves
said that discussion had been under
way of this and various aspects of
the saloon. but that plans had not
materialized as yet. 1t is of course
possible that nothing will come of 1t
and saloon keepers seen professed not
to be worried.
