To Compel Saloon To Go.

Dubuque.-Joseph Needham, plain
tiff in the several cases against May
or Schunk has filed attidavits showing
that H. A. Schunk's liquor house
which the mayor declares he has nc
interest in, is within the 3oo-foot linn
it of the Christian Science church
contrary to the provisions of the
mulct law
The amusing feature of the case is
that there are two other places
which sell liquor closer to the church
than the Schunk concern. Schunb
beat Needham once for election as
mayor and once before the primaries

DUBUQUE SALOONS QUIT.
twenty-five Out of Business as Re.
suit of Agitation.


Dubuque-When the mulct agita-
ton now on in Dubuque reaches its
fruition twenty-five liquor dispensaries
will go out of business. That is, a
careful estimate of the situation based
ON statements from proprietors at this
time Indicates that this number will
fail to pay their quarterly assess
rives.
There are now in operation in the
county IT'S saloons. A half dozen
went out of business when the last
quarterly tax was due owing to the
limitations which the Benson decree
placed upon the hours of operation
and the general regulations placed
upon an industry that never before
had been in any manner or way con-
trolled, save that since 1898 the mulct
tax of $500 had been collected regu-
larry. Prior to that time the only
tax that was paid was one of s1oo
annually levied by the city.
Attorney A. P. Gibbs has demon
strated that he means business in his
prosecution of the saloons of the
county. His original notices We're
served month ago. On the LIST the
first installment of the petitions de-
handing injunetions was placed on
file. The balance will be in the
hands of the county clerk inside of
ten days.
There are wild and unreasonable
saloon men here-men who have
known but little law in the past-but
it is worthy of comment that not one
today but realizes the mulct law is
scheduled No definite action has
been taken by the saloon men with re-
gard to securing attorneys, but it
is given out when the time comes
legal talent will be on hand and the
chief purpose of such talent will be
not to fight the proceeding, but TO
find as easy and as graceful a way
out of the difficulty as possible.
A notable incident in connection
with the present affair is the an
nouncement of Eichhorn & Bechtel
the oldest saloon keepers in Dubuque
men who for forty-two years have
been in the business and who in that
time never have had an arrest of any
and without ceremony they have de
