Leavenworth, Aug. 26.-The reg
ular meeting of the council of the
town of Leavenworth was the scene
of lively-time last Tuesday night.
1t was the occasion of the introduce
ton for action by the council of a pc
tition for the closing of the Leaven-
worth saloons on Sunday. Leaven-
worth has always been a wide open
town, and has gained bad name for
lawlessness. But the people have de-
cided to redeem themselves from that
bad name.
Prosecuting Attorney Grass was
appealed to, that he enforce the Sun
day closing law. He did not wish
to interfere until the council had
shown it's unwillingness or incapacity
to deal with the question, and advis-
ed the getting up of a petition to the
council, so as to get 1t to place itself
on record in this matter.
Somebody Steals Petition
A petition was gotten up, asking
the council to take such steps as
were necessary to enforce the law,
and it was circulated last week with
the probability of getting more sig
natures of voters than voted at the
last town election. Unfortunately,
afternoon. AS the council was to
meet Tuesday night there was only
one day for the circulation of an
other petition. This day was taken
advantage of and 95 names were
secured. These were the names of
! voters and property owners, many of
whom are the prominent men of the
town.
This is a popular movement for re-
form, the people being anxious to see
law, order and decency being SUI
preme in LeavenwOrth.
WaIdenburg Assails the Preacher.
At this meeting of the council a
large crowd assembled, as it was gen.
orally known that this petition would
be presented. The saloon men were
out in full force, also goodly num-
Der of the moral forces were there.
At the proper time the petition was
presented and read. Councilman
Waldenberg, who championed the
saloon cause, Immediately moved to
lay the petition on the table. He
got no second. Councilman Feather
stone moved that the petition be
granted.
Councilman E. A. King seconded
the motion.
Then came the tug of war.

People Make a Move For Reform.
Call For Sunday Closing. Valid
enberg Attacks RumObr in COun-
Gil misunderstanding Attorney
Appealed to.

Councilman Waldenburg made a
rambling speech, in which he assail-
ed Rev. Mr.. Rumohr, pastor of the
NJ. E. church, who is one of the lead
ers in this movement, as a man full
of enmity against saloonkeepers, as
a busybody, as a disturber of the
peace of the town, ETC., etc. He
proved conclusively that Wenatchee
was worse for drunkenness since they
had enforced the law there than be-
fore; he eulogized Robert G. Inger-
soil and .infidelity; he condemned
the inquisition and made a few 9TH
er statements.
Mr.. Rumohr was given the privi-
lege of'speaking in reply. He defend
ed his conduct in this matter, stat
ing that he was only one of number
who were engaged in this reform
movement; that the people demand
ed the enforcement of the law with
out compromise.
During his speech he was inter-
rupted by Councilman Waldenburg
and one of the saloonkeepers pres
ent, but Mayor Simpson immediate
ly told them to keep quiet. The mo-
ton being put was lost, Councilmen
Featherstone and E. A. King voting
for it; Councilmen Waldenburg,
Ruth and R. T. King voting against
it.
King Wants Reading Room.
Councilman r. T. King, in explain
alton of his vote said he favored the
movement to close the saloons on
Sunday, but did not think it advisa-
BILE to do so until a reading or recre-
alton room had been provided for
men to go to when turned out of the
saloons. If such a room could be
provided he would heartily support
the movement.
Thus ended Act 1. The moral
forces are greatly elated over the re-
suit. In fact, they did not want the
council to deal with the question, as
they feared that if the council did
so, it would be done on a front door
only closed" basis, and that is what
they do not want.
Appeal will now be made to Prose
cutting Attorney Grass for redress
and the enforcement of the law.
Most Of the saloonkeepers are will
ing to close on Sunday, but one or
two are holding out. The moral
forces are in the movement to fight
it to finish, and have confidence Of
the ultimate success of their cause.
