Special to Times-Republican.
Dubuque, July 10. A suit was
brought in the district court here this
morning by Attorneys Chalmers and
Thorn for Joseph Needham, a prom
inent politician and business man,
against Mayor H. A. Schunk, and the
members of the III. A. Schunk Com
pany, wholesale liquor dealers, asking
that they be temporarily enjoined from
further conducting the business. al
leging that the place is operated in
open violation Of law and citing June
Q, primary election day. as a specific
instance when the place was kept open
and business done.
The fling of the suit Is the sensa-
ton of the day here, and it is init
mated that the ultimate result will
be the ousting Of the mayor from
office. The mayor, since yesterday
morning, has been in seclusion at the
New, Mellary monastery, several miles
south of this city, so service has not
been had on him and probably will not
be until the first Of the week, as it is
announced he proposes remaining in
seclusion until Tuesday.

He found crop conditions in the ter

Mr.. Hawley thinks that when the crop
is harvested this damage will represent
only an insignificant loss. He says
that he has never seen the central

thru which he journeyed as looking
better than a week or two ago when
he was making his trip. Business men
generally in the west, Mr.. Hawley;
adds, are expecting better times soon.
