SALOON WILL BE
AT ALTHEIMER
Judge Gould Makes Positive State
ment That There Win Be No
Saloons in the Country
Districts After This
Year

\ dramshop license was issued
today By County Judge James Gould
to }. S. Barraque, who will CON
duct a saloon four miles from Al
theimer, this county. Judge Gould
was petitioned by a majority of the
residences Of the Altheimer neigh
borhood to issue the license and did
so with the understanding that
there would be no licenses issued
saloonists outside of Pine Bluff
after December 81, 1908. This is
the condition upon which County
Judge Gould has been issuing IL
censes for dramshops in the country
districts this year. He states most
positively that there will be no coun-
try saloons next year and adds that
there will be few of them this year,
only four having been granted
for saloons outside Of the city The
application Of a saloon man at Red
field, this county, is being opposed and
Judge Gould has not acted on same.

{ ENDOWMENT FOR
VOLCANO STUDY

SPRINGFIELD. Mass, May IA
movement is on foot in this city to Sc
cure funds with which to endow the
work of Frank A. Perret of Springfield,
the well-known volcanic expert, who
made name for himself by his work
as assistant in the Royal observatory
on Vesuvius during the eruption of 1906.
The idea is to organize a scientific So
ciety and to insure Mr.. Perret a certain
sum each year with which to prosecute
his efforts to secure and collate exact
information as to volcanic phenomena
in order to be able to predict eruptions
and also earthquakes. Mr. Perret esti-
mates that the sum of 800 month
will be ample, and already some Spring
field men have pledged themselves to
give $500 a year for several years. 1t
is necessary to have funds available
for several years, as instruments must
be tested and proved and preparations
must be made, so that an instant start
may be made at any time for the scene
of the latest important volcanic or
earthquake disturbance.
Mr.. Perret wishes to carry on the
work, which he was able to do only
spasmodically during the past four
years. If things shape as he desires,
he will return to Naples, which is cen
trail point as regards volcanic activity,
as it is nearer Vesuvius, Aetna, Strom-
boil and Solfatara of Pozzuoli. He has
already made considerable progress
toward devising reliable method of
forecasting eruptions and earthquakes,
and said last week that success was
only matter of time and opportunity
to study phenomena at close range. An
aspect of the work which he hopes to
do is the devising of method of har- |
Messing some of the tremendous energy
which goes to waste through volcanic
activity, though, as he says, this is I,
