GOES DRY BY NARROW
MAJORITY.
STATE CAMPAIGN NEXT
Atesult May Be Protested In Court
on Ground That Both Sides
Excluded Negroes From
the Polls.

Shreveport, La, Jan. 15.-After
one of the most strenuous and ex-
citing campaigns on record, Shreye-
port was carried in favor of prohibi-
tion yesterday Joining Atlanta,
Knoxville and Birmingham in the
"dry" column. Immediately on the
result becoming known, those who
led the fight for prohibition launched
a campaign for state prohibition, it
being their intention to carry the
fight to the legislature, which as
sembles in May.
According to unofficial returns
from every precinct in the parish of
Caddo, the majority for prohibition
was Al. In the city proper there was
a majority of 800 against prohibition
but the county precincts overcame
this with a majority of $50 for pro-
hibition.
1t is almost certain that the cleo
ton will be contested in the courts
on several grounds, the most impor-
tant of which is the claim that the
warning issued by the campaign
committees on both sides, that the
negroes would not be permitted to
vote, was an intimidation of voters
and makes the election illegal.

1t Builds Them Up and Makes Them
Strong and Robust


Rapid growth, overstudy, INSULT
cient nourishment, convalescence at
ter children's diseases, and run
down conditions make children thin
and delicate and stops development
Because Vinol contains all the
medicinal, bone, tissue and body
building elements of cod liver oil,
actually taken from fresh Gods liv-
ers, the useless oil eliminated and
peptonate of iron added it quickly
restores robust health and children
love it.
Mrs. C. W. Stump. of Canton, O.,
writes: II wish l could induce every
mother who has a weak, sickly
child to try that delicious cod liver
preparation, Vinol, as 1t restored
health and strength to our daughter
after all else had failed"
We have never sold a medicine in
our store equal to Vinol for delicate
ailing children, weak old people, or
sickly women and children, and we
return money if it fails to benefit,

Nelson Defeats Cans.

San Francisco, July 6.-Battling
Nelson Saturday won the title of cham
pion lightweight pugilist of the world
from the man who defeated him at
Goldfeld, New, almost two years ago.
He knocked out Joe Cans in the sew
enteenth round after fight that was
as desperate as any that has been seen
here in years. Fighting from the be-
ginning to the end of every round,
moving ceaselessly forward and never
giving ground, Nelson, with his bull
dog ,tenacity and wonderful stamina
slowly battered the veteran colored
champion into submission The end
was not sudden and there were few
who watched the progress of the bat
tie and saw Cans grow weaker and
weaker from round to round, but what
had made up their minds as to the re-
suit long before the count was given
that made the Illinois lad champion.
Three times Cans was sent to the floor
in the final round, each time taking
all the time allowed.
A blow from Nelson's left glove to
the pit of the stomach ended the fight
and Cans toppled over and rested on
his knees, his face wearing most
painful expression. He tried in vain to
regain his feet, but failed, and was
counted out.

Special to Times Republican.
Logan, July 6-.Engineer ]. s. Wat
ties has completed his work and has
filed his report on the diversion of the
Soldier river from a. noint northeast of
the town of Orson in jackson township.
of Harrison county, to the Missouri
river. Engineer Wattles proposes to
begin the excavation of the new chan
mel for the Soldier in section "a, 81-44
and to run it southwesterly into Elm
lake thence to Round lake and from
this point into the Missouri river In
section Is. The length of the line is
662 miles: estimated cost, with later
ais, s101.373; numbers of acres to be
benefited, 1854: bottom width at up
per end, 80 feet, at lower end, 40 feet;
slope 1 to 1; grade per mile on upper
end, SO inches, on lower end Is inches.
j. S. Wattles has prepared estimates

Choice Steers and Butcher Cattle
Strong, but Medium Stuff
Dull
HOGS FIVE TO TEN HIGHER
scaIpers Good Buyers But Period Of
Weakness Sets in After Their Wants
Arc satisfied-Market Closes at Best
Prices, However = Sheep in Active
Demand Today.

Chicago. July 6.-Cattle were 100
Is cents higher. Receipts were light
and choice steers were In good re-
quest, but there was but little demand
for medium stuff. Butcher cattle were
strong.
Traders say that unless country
shippers call halt on marketing OPP
erations still lower price range will
be inevitable.
Texas cattle We're strong competi-
tors against the natives all last week
Packers showed better favor toward
Texans than natives and this was also
true at other markets. Competition
from Texas affects the market for ma
tive steers OF value up to 81 and a de-
cidedly poor consumptive demand for
the higher priced grades has been the
bearish factor in this latter end OF the
trade.
Hogs.
Hogs were 5@1Oc higher. At the
opening scalpers were good buyers,
but after their wants were satisfied, a
period of weakness set in, chiefly be-
cause packers and shippers failed to
support the market. Later, however. a
stronger feeling prevailed, and prices
closed about the best.
Considering the fact that the mar
ket opened again after two days rest,
the showing was a good one There
were not enough holdovers to exert a
very depressing influence. Low grade.
grassy and common stuff was not in
demand to any great extent The ship
ping demand has not stopped, and with
receipts not excessive the market Is
looked for to remain fairly firm.
Sheep.
Sheep were strong, and lambs were
steady. The best grades of sheep We're
in active demand, but buyers did not
seem to need many lambs.
Spring lamb trade has been show
ing better tone Southern stuff has
not been coming in in as large quanti-
ties as formerly and this fact has been
a favorable factor in making prices.
Range sheep and yearlings are expect
ed to continue to increase in supply.

Suckers and Feeders.

The country demand continues raith-
err Indifferent, big declines in fat steer
trade having dulling effect on the in
CURRY for feeders. Uncertainty over
corn prospects and the continued high
price for old corn is another deterrent
factor in the feeder trade. Doubtless
many prospective buyers are holding
off the market to await the arrival OF
western range cattle, but the trade
does not look for many range feeders
in the first part of the season, due to
the good beef-making quality Of most
cattle in the northwest.
