Mrs. John II. Clark was Hostess to
the Club Members at the Regular
Meeting, Monday.

Mrs. John II. Clark entertained the
members of the Research club at her
home on South State street Monday
afternoon. Practically all of the
members were present and the session
proved highly interesting.
In response to roll call each
'member gave a favorite quotation
from the works of Burns. Mrs. b.

which an interesting paper, "The
Seven Year War in Europe" prepared
by Mrs. w. l.. Stump. was read by
Mrs. w. B. Everett. "The Wesleyan

structive thesis read by Mrs. b.
Leavens. Mrs. r. A. Amman re-
cited The Deserted Village" from

A concluding feature of the program
was general discussion on the topic,
"If Your Wealth and Power Were
Unlimited, What Would You Do For
Marion?" One of the first speakers
on the topic declared that she would
tear down the old city hall and con-
struct respectable looking city
building. Others declared that they
would eliminate the five an6 ten cent
shows. At the close of the program,
a social season was enjoyed.
The club will meet again in two
weeks at the home of Mrs. r. A.
Amman, of East Center street.

which special assessments have been
levied. The first bond is for 800 but

"A resolution declaring It necessary

SURPRISE
UNIVERSAL
No One Can Explain New
Temperance Laws.
SALOONMEN PUZZLED
To Explain What 1t May All
Mean.
Probability Of Nine O'Clock Clos
ing Ordinance Also Causes
Deal of Com nment.

The lid ordinances adopted by coun-
ell at last nights meeting have oc-
'casioned the greatest surprise through
out the city. The saloon men were
caught entirely off their guard, and
II is stated that not one of them
dreamed that such a measure was
even contemplated. Even the members
of council claim to have had no pre-
.vious knowledge except that they
had heard that there was to be some
thing sensational sprung.
The sudden move of those at the
head of municipal affairs was the
principal topic OF conversation on the
streets today. Several of the saloon
men called upon Mayor Scherff and
1t Is said that there was a stormy
scene or two.
Just what action the saloonmen
will take IS unknown at present.
There will be a meeting called and
the course will be mapped out. The
,salooniTt may fight the ordinances In
the courts and attempt TO enjoin the
mayor from enforcing them until the
test cases have been carried to the
supreme court. There Is also a pos
sibility that the saloonkeepers will
quietly conform to the regulations
of the ordinances.
The probability of nine o'clock
closing ordinance being adopted has
also created a great deal of comment.
1t has been rumored that the liquor
men have desired legislation of this
kind in order that the local option
may be defeated next fall, but this
Is vigorously denied. Another tale Is
to the effect that the state brewers
association has had hand in affairs.
Mayor Scherff states that the ordn-
,ances were drawn because of the
