$1,000 DAMAGE SUIT
Mayor Hing, City Marshall Sprague
and Rev. G. H. Carl Defendants.
DEL0s OUNKLE THE PLAINTIFF
Mas Posted nm Hon-Sales Liquor Lists-ClaIms
Being so Listed Defames His Character.

Some stir was created last Friday b,
the service of papers on Mayor Franci
King, G.. III. Carl and City Marshal
Elmer Sprague for damages amountin,
to $1,000 to Delos Dunkle of this city
Recently Mayor King had posted will
each of the three druggists in Alma /,
list of persons to whom they were for
hidden to sell liquor. This list was pre-
l pared by special committee appointed
by the law and order league Of Alma
1t was drawn up after going over the
list of sales at the prosecuting attorney.
Office in Ithaca and was presented &c
Mayor King for his signature
Mr.. Dunkle alleges in his complain,
that he is not habitual user OF liquor,
that he does not use liquor to any ex-
tent at all. and that in having his name
posted with a list Of those who are
haDitual users, his reputation and
character is DETAINED and be. therefore
asks $1,000 damages. Mr.. Dunkle has
retained Bert Hayes of this city and
Attorneys Stone and Watson of Ithaca
to push his suit.
Mayor King on his part, insists he
acted within his authority in signing
these lists, but that it was only the in
tention to post those who are habitual
users of liquor. And he furthermore
states that, II there are errors in the
list, they are accidental and not intend
ed to injure anyone. His view reflects
that of Messers Carl and Sprague.
The members of the law and order
league assert the druggists asked for a
list of those people to whom they ought
not to sell. and that these lists were
posted as confidential and not to become g
conspicuous in public places.
In preparing these lists the law an d
order league went ahead on the authority
Of the Michigan general statute 52sl
which provides for forbiding the sale of
liquor to habitual users.
This statute makes several provisions
covering this procedure. A member of
mans family, or his employer, or the
'verseers OF the poor are among those
who may prohibit such sale. And
'hen there is another section which
Allows the mayor of city or the presi-
lent of village council to prohibit
uch sale. The latter acts under the
policy OF public welfare on the ground
hat the liquor user. by habirual use of
'quor, becomes n public nuisance. In
he first named Instances there is the
Iirect interest of member Of his family
rs employer or the chance of his be-
oming public charge. But in the
ast instance the mao must be shown to
e habitual user of liquor, one who
eglects his family and makes himself
bnixious to others. Il is on this ground
nat defamation of character is claimed 9

Our Trade With Canada.

Last year Canada bought from the
United States products to the value Of
157 millions Of dollars and shipped US
about 6S millions This trade was con-
Quoted despite the protective tariff of
our country and the very high tariff Of
Canada, which discriminates against
American goods. Despite the fact that
there are numerous remedies adver-
tlsed for curing ailments of the stom-
ach, liver and bowels, Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters has advanced continuously
until today finds 1t foremost OF its class.
Its success has been due to its ability
to cure, even after the other remedies
had failed, and we have many volun-
tary letters testifying 10 this fact. 1t
cures poor appetite, heartburn, Vomit-
ing, headache, backache, liver troubles,
indi gestion, cramps, dyspepsia, colds
and malaria. We guarantee the gen.
uine to be absolutely pure.

THE temperance people are making
a great fight in the West Virgins Leg.
islature. A bill to submit to the vote
of the people an amendment providing
for prohibition in the State has been
before the House, and though the
whiskey lobby fought it strenuously,
it passed yesterday by the large ma
jority OF 81 to II. The passage Of
the bill caused great demonstration,
and the capitol rang with the jubilsnt
shouts of the Temperance people.
When the final vote came, very few
members cared to go on record against
the bill, for strong petitions from
every section of the State have fairly
flooded the Legislature.
There has as yet been no test of
strength in the Senate, but the liquor
interests seem 10 be relying upon
that lily to put a quietus upon the
measure.
An interesting rumor is to the ef-
feet that both houses will pass the
bill AMI that Governor Dawson will
veto it. then calling an extra session
to consider local option measure.
The Governor is said to favor local
option, rather than prohibition.
The temperance people are mighty
wide awake in West Virginia.

certain person who love to lure the
gamy bass from his lurking place in

has built a dam across the river at
Millville, this county, to generate
electric power for the towns from the
river to Winchester-to say nothing
of the trolley line yet on paper. The
company, which agreed to construct
fshways at the dam, as We very dis
tinctly remember, failed to keep its
promise, as corporations usually do,
and efforts are being made to compel
it to make good. The company off,
Gals say that it will cause them great
expense to comply with the demand,
and assert that the county court has
no right to require it, and so they re-
fuse.
We are for the fishermen, every
time, and we call on our commissioners
to hold up those dam fellows until the
bass have their rights.
