The rebellion in Scott county is
attracting the attention OF the peo.
pie of the state and people who
believe in the duty of citizens to oh.
serve the law are beginning to arise
in their wrath and demand that the
rebellion be put down at all hazards.
A number Of years ago the state de-
clared for prohibition of the liquor
traffic. The residents of Scott
county protested vigorously and de-
clared that prohibition would not
prohibit, that the only correct way
to handle the liquor traffic was by
well regulated license laws, and that
if the state would only make some
sort of concession to them which
would permit of the operation of a
few soloons there they would show
the state how much better their
system is than the prohibition law.
They protested so vigorously that
the law was amended for them and
the "mulct law" was adopted. This
permitted them to have saloons un-
der very strict regulations as to the
manner in, which they would be con-
ducted,, Now in Davenport people
refuse to obey the law made in their,
own interest. Poor as the law is
they refuse to obey it. There are
240 saloons in the city running in
open violation of the law and the
officers sworn to enforce the law re-
fuse to do so. Even the ministers
of the city have shown the white
feather. After meeting to consider
the matter they decided to do moth
ing. There is a saloon for every
2l5 persons in the city. After TAX
ing out the women and children that
means less than 100 men to support
each saloon. They run day and
night, Sundays and all with music
women to attract the vis-
itors. One Of them brazenly adver-
tises: Twenty pretty new girls"

production of power, and az tn
relative safety Of alcohol and gaso
line for general use. The following
isia summary of the results of tn
experimental work so far as com
pleted in regard to the comparativ,
valnes of alcohol and gasoline in tn,
production of light and power.
1. The higher heat value of 81
per cent alcohol is but 68 to II pe,
cent that of gasoline.
2. The lower heat value (tht
value more nearly attained in prac
tlce) OF 81 per cent alcohol is but &C
per cent to 60 per cent that of gaso
line.
3. When used for the produc
tion of light, 81 per cent alcohol
will produce from SO per cent to 81
per cent as much light as an equal
volumn of gasoline.
4. Alcohol of "a per cent purity
must be sold for from eleven to
seventeen cents per gallon to com.
pete with gasoline for lighting pur.
poses at twenty cents per gallon
the present retail price of gasoline
in Ames.)
D. Alcohol, when used in a
generator lamp. will produce from
two TO four times as many candle
power hours as kerosene in a wick
lamp.
g. 1t was found impossible to
SCOT the mantels of any of the
lamps with alcohol.
z. Alcohol of "a per cent pur-
ity, when used in engines designed
for gasoline, has but 6S per cent to
80 per cent the value of gasoline in
the production of power.
8. To compete with gasoline at
twenty cents per gallon for use in
gasoline engines, "a per cent alco-
hol must be sold for from thirteen
to5seventeen cents per gallon and
SO per cent alcohol from eleven to
fifteen cents per gallon.
9. None of the engines could be
started readily with alcohol, al
though few could be started with
less difficulty than others.
] 40. After having once been
started with gasoline and warmed
up, the carburetors as designed for
gasoline vaporized the alcohol sue
cessfully, except in one instance.
IL. No doubt the gasoline car
buretor can be readily changed to
permit the use of alcohol as we'll as
gasoline in the same engine.
II. Experimental work does not
include tests Of the special designed
alcohol engine which should show
better economy in the use of alcohol.
l3 Gasoline cannot be used
readily in special designed alco-
hol engine using high compression
on account bf pre-ignition. -s
IA. The odor of the exhaust Of
an engine when using alcohol is not
as a. unpleasant as when using gaso-
line.
Is. Alcohol (, is much more pleas
lG. There is much less danger
from fire when using alcohol than
when using gasoline owing to the
TACT that alcohol does not vaporize
as readily as gasoline and its flame
may be extinguished with water.

Memphis, Tenn Nov, 1s.--(special.l From expressions made by President Compton of the Cotton States League at Vleksburg, baseball followers be- lieve that Mobile will encounter con. siderable trouble and expense before the announced change from Cotton States to Southern League company can be made.
 President Compton says~ that Cotton States League clubs are not adverse ta being deserted by Mobile but they win insist that the Cotton States League shall be paid S250O,, the amount stip- ulated In Article 27. Section ,se thu national agreement for any chanRa made without unanimous consent O. clubs in the league to be deserted.
 President Compton say that while the Mobile association owns the Cotton States franchise that the Cotton StateH League controls the Mobile territorg as granted by organized baseball laws He Is inclined to discredit probabilities of a rival league with Mobile at the head.
 President Kavanaugh of the Southern League. backs up Mir. Compton inas- much as he says that consent Of the Cotton States League must be had be- fore the Southern can legally recosnfzs Mobile as member of tho Southern League.
 This is regardless of the reported purchase of the Shreveport Southern League franchise.

 The whole argument of the other side seemed to be was that the pro- posed laws were drawn for the simple reason that the cases were taken b. fore a Federal court, whose judge 1t Is claimed. has prejudgsd the case.
 He argued that W. D. Nesbitt. a mem- Der of the Railroad Commission. has preJudged the case. by arguing one side of a matter, he should pass, on be- fore 6 legislative committee. That SOutheFm A9reement.
 1T want to put a question to that judge, I want to know how that court gave its consent to the agreement by the Governor to q two and three Georgia, that he holds up as a model, Is two cents?" "hg In reply to Senator Miller, Senator Blackmon said he Is right; that the Legislature did not have the authority to fix, freight rates. He read Georgia authority to support his opinion.
 He argued that the reduction in freight rates did not help the people. but rather where they saved ten cents on freight rates they lost Sa40 on taxes. 2
 He declared that the loss of Sl5 900 900 of the farmers of Alabama on the cot ton crop is directly resultant from the recent political agitation.
 He declared that the same conditions matter is settled on 6 fair basis and the agitation is putson the shelf.
 He called attention to the fact that Judge Jones decided the first railroad case in favor. of the State and that still the Senators say the case has been prejudged
