Prohibition Work in Kandiy0hi
Comfy.

For some time | have been soli-
citing funds for the State Prohibi-
tion Committee in Kandiyohi coun-
ty and the people have donated lib
orally to the carrying on of a big
Prohibition legislative campaign in
1908. The idea of capturing the
next house and electing a Prohibi-
tion speaker strikes all friends of
the temperance cause as practical
way of going at it. The bet part
of the people all over the country
are determined that their county
must be represented in the next
house by Prohibitionist elected on
a Prohibition platform.
Kandiyohi county IS next to the
best in the state in keeping out the
saloons. The same people who be-
lieve in keeping the saloon out of
their own county also believe in
getting the liquor traffic out of the
state. The way to work for this at
present is to work for the election
of a representative on the Prohibi-
tion ticket for the next house.

On the last seven Mondays before

STATE PROHIBITION BULLETIN,

The city council of Minneapolis
has for some time been considering
limiting the number Of saloon IL
censes for the city. There is now
a measure under consideration for
limiting the number to 400 without
in any way interfering with those
now in the business. There are 430
licensed places in Minneapolis now.

In the case Of the State VS.. O. P.
Nash, which dealt with malt SELL
ing on Sunday, was decided in fa-
vor of the defendant. Under this
decision malt may be sold the same
as lemonade without desecrating
the Sabbath. This case had moth
ing to do with the action brought
to determine whether or not malt is
Intoxicating, and if the prohibi-
tionists succeed in proving that it
is, when their case is again taken
up in September, the result will be
the CHASING Of malt with beer and
other Intoxicating liquors. In the
absence of proof of it's Intoxicating
effects, however, malt may be sold
without restriction.

Prohibition fails because it can
not be enforced without the COM

ment. st. Paul Dispatch.
Wrong again! Prohibition is not
enforced because it means the COM
plete overthrow Of local whisky
politicians.
The Atlanta Constitution, which
until recently has been against the
prohibition law, and which has
fought temperance measures of this
kind tooth and nail in the past,
comes out with this: "Our ex-
perience has demonstrated to US be-
yond doubt that city of $4,000
inhabitants can get along and ad-
vance at a solid and constant rate
without the liquor traffic.
A. T. Edmonston, the supervis-
ing statistician of the bureau of
labor statistics of Missouri, saws:
1.-The Sunday law is enforced thru
out the state and it has reduced
Sunday crime 40 per cent and all
crime 20 per cent. The reduction
in crime has reduced criminal costs
in the state.''
The daily press in a large num-
ber of cities recently contained the
following statement in leading ad-
vertisements: 1.-The United States
Department of Agriculture official
ly declares that beer is the purest
OF all foods and drinks.'' The De-
partment, on Aug. 9, 1907, writes
as follows to the Associated Prohi-
bition Press: ''No such statement
has been made by the Department.

which such practices may be
reached.' The matter was taken

HOSTS OF ELKS.
Largest Grand Lodge Meeting in the
History of the Order.

Philadelphia. Pa, July 15.-Opening
day of the Elks' convention week was
greeted with clear, fairly warm weather.
From AIS a. m. when the first delega-
ton arrived from Mobile, Ala. big hosts
of EIks came every hour. Grand Secre-
tary Fred c. Robinson of Dubuque, Ia.
said today that the registration of dele
gates to the grand lodge meeting is the
largest in the history of the order.
Philadelphia is decorated as never be-
fore and every day until Saturday will
practically be a holiday. The streets in
the central part of the city are damned
with enthusiastic crowds and the IA
miliar Hello, BILL is heard every
where.
The convention of the grand lodge will
be formally opened at the Grand opera
house tonight
The principal address of welcome on
behalf of the local lodge will be made
by Congressman Moore of this city.
Mayor Reyburn and Governor Stuart
are expected to extend the hand of well
come. The response will be by Grand
Exalted Ruler Henry a. Melvin of Calf

The first official entertainment of the
members of the grand lodge took place
at noon at a park on the New Jersey
side of the Delaware river. The MEM
bers and their ladies were conveyed
there in chartered steamers which be-

MURDER INQUEST HELD.
COrOner's Jury at Last Finds Second
Three Bridges Victim Is Dead.

An inquest was held. in the sheriff
office today by a coroner's jury consist
ing of William Alstorn, w. T. Schaeffer.
]. D. Coddington, Joseph Wilcox, Ed
ward Perkins and H. c. Lindsay, over
the murder of the man whose body
was found on the Union Pacific tracks
just the other side of the Three Bridges
on Monday morning, June "a.
No Identification of this murdered
man has ever been made and the coun-
ty authorities have been unable to OBJ
tain any evidence to connect any one
with the crime so the inquest today
was purely formal. DR.. Keith and DR..
Banded, who performed an autopsy on
the body gave their opinions to the jury
that the man had died from a gun shot
wound in the head and the jury return
ed a verdict to this effect and also that
the wound had been made from a re-
volver in the hands of a person un-
known.
There are two theories concerning this
murder. which probably never will be
solved. One is that the man was muir
dered in some dive here in town and
his body taken to the place where it
was found ard placed on the railroad
track where a train could hit it, and
thus the murder could possibly be COW
cred up. The other is that the man
was killed in a fight in a box car, either
with hobo pals or members of a train
crew. and that his body'wa thrown OF
the train at the spot where it was
found

tlnually in business a t that location

ne sold his store and year later retired
from active business, giving his time
to his large property interests in the

uously for a period of 35 years.
Mr.. Barnum was known as an enter
prising, progressive citizen and assist

at CIT Kansas avenue. At the time of
his death he was the owner of consider

the corner of Huntoon street and To-

He is survived by his wife and a fam
lily consisting of four sons and two
daughters, all of whom are residents of
this city with the exception of his
daughter, Mrs. H. Kahn, who resides in

It is set up in the petition that this
legislative act is unconstitutional be-
cause it denies to the Missouri Pacific
and the other railroad companies in
the state which are affected by it, the
equal protection of law and attempts
to confer on the commissioners power

Then there is the further allegation
set up in the petition that the Mis-

tue of the provisions of this federal
statute the state board of railroad COM
missioners have no power, authority or

A further claim is made that COM

Mr.. RICE IS SLOW.
ST. Joseph Paving Contractor Doesn't
Seem to Be in Hurry.

Charges that H. N. Rice of st. Joseph,
who has got the major part of the new
paving contracted for by the city this
year. is trifiing with the city admins
tration were made today by city Off
Gals who want the paving in North To-
peka hurried.
1t is stated by those interested in the
paving contract that the brick will be
shipped into Topeka on the 22nd and
that paving operations will commence
Immediately afterwards.
The brick to be used will be from St.
Joseph, H. N. Rice claiming that he
could not get a favorable figure from
the local manufacturers.
A part of the delay in commencing on
the part of Rice has been attributed by
him to a failure to secure rates for his
brick from ST. Joseph to this city. This
rate has now been secured.
Charles Ramsey, who has the con-
tract for North Kansas avenue from the
Melan bridge to Gordon street, has haul
ed his brick in place and is ploughing
up the old asphalt pavement.
The contract for this work was let
about two weeks later than that of Rice
and the delay on the part of Rice has
the ccuncilmen from the First ward
worried.
