FREE ALCOHOL.
Belief Grows that Measure Will Pass
House and Senate.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April II
While the friends of free alcohol are
not taking anything for granted, and
are disposed to speak rather softly,
they are beginning to realize that there
is a possibility that their bill may be-
come a law at this session of congress.
The bill passed the house yesterday
under suspension of the rules,
with as little opposition as
the rate bill encountered in that
body. 1t will now go to the senate,
and the hope for legislation at this
session, to which reference has just
been made, has to do only with the
esnate situation.
The senate has not yet considered
the bill, not even formally, for all
legislation affecting the revenues must
originate in the lower house.
Public Demands Bill
Sentiment over the country is so
overwhelmingly in favor of the legis-
lation that the friends of free alcohol
do not see how the senate can refuse TO
act. Chairman Payne, of the house
committee, in his report on the Dill,
says that the demand for the legisla-
ton is "well nigh universal" He speaks
with authority, for his committee had
the public hearings, and has received
thousands of petitions from all
parts of the land in favor Of the bill.
The most encouraging feature of the
situation is the attitude of the wood
alcohol people, who have been the
chief opponents of the legislation
These people have quit arguing against
the passage of the bill. and are now
saving that it ought not, in justice 70

months after its passage. The pending
bill says three months, which the wooo
alcohol people say is not long enough

the interesting things in Iowa politics.

APACHEs ARE ON THE war PATH
Indians Want to Go With Show but
Authorities Will Not
Consent.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE ma
ture of the trouble that has been
brewing among the Apache captives at
Fort Sill, incident to which is the
threat of the Indians to forcibly break
away from the post, is explained at the
war department as the result of the
refusal of the authorities to let the In
dams go on the road with a wild west
show.
These Indians, under their old chief
Geronimo have been technical captives
at the army post for many years, al
though granted many privileges. Last
year many of them were permitted tc
join a wild west show. When they
came back to the post it was found
that some of them had learned to gam

for permission to have another con-

KEITH'S THEATRE.

Unanimous and genuine regret Is evil
denced at the departure OF the Albee
company who will next week play their
farewell performances Of the season at
keiths.
No organization that has borne Mr.. AL
bees name has met with more hearty
favor than the present one. They have
given thousands OF people hearty enjoy
ment during the season and have made
many friends. so that their farewells are
likely TO be attended by big demonstra-
tions from their admirers and friends.
For the last week Of their season a
merry farce comedy Confusion" has
been happily chosen, so that the season
will end with plenty OF fun making. The
laughter occasioned by this play starts
with the rise OF the curtain. when Mrs.
Mumbleford. a spoiled young wife, rebels
because her husband will not let her
have a dog which her uncle, Christopher
Blizzard, has promised TO get for her.
Mrs. Mumbleford has two servants.
James and Marie. who. unknown 10
everyone else. are secretly married and
have little baby. Afr, Blizzard is en-
gagged TO Lucretia Tlckleby lovelorn
spinster.
In spite OF her husbands objection.

the dog and then. thinking that Mr.
Mumbleford will learn 10 like the pet
after he has seen Il. she hopes to win his
consent MIR. Blizzard is called 10 Lon
don by telegram and while there he
says he will get the dog and bring him
down. At the same time. James and
Marie receive a telegram from their home
in London saying: Come at once. Your
baby is very H." This telegram falls
into Lucretias hands and she thinks II
is the one that Blizzard has dropped.
There is a secret between Mrs. Mumble-
ford and Mr. Blizzard. and IL Is con-
nected with the telegram, so that Lucre-
tia thinks the baby referred 20 Is Mrs.
Mumbleford's and Mr., Blizzards.
Later. after complication after compli-
cation have caused no end OF bother for
the principals ard much amusement for
the audience. Mrs. Mumbleford, seeing
that she cannot win her husbands con-
sent 10 keeping the dog, tells Mr.. Biz
zard that she will drown it-meaning the
dog. Mr.. Mumbleford overhears her and
thinks she means the baby. This makes
further complications and the fun does
not end until after the entire party has
been In an uproar.
AS a special attraction for the week,
the Zingari troupe. Gypsy singers and
musicians. will appear in a high-cla
act that is likely TO score as big a hit
here as they have elsewhere.
