RIVER FALLS GOING DRY.

At least that is the announcement
Of the No-liccnse advocates. The
petition required by law, in order to
have the license question submitted
to the voters, has been circulated
and received the necessary sigma
lures the first day. This gives every
qualified voter in the city of River
Falls an opportunity TO vote for or
against the licensed saloon at the
coming election. That day will
soon be here. Are you interested
in the issue? Certainly everyone is
interested. If you are voter, will
you voter If you are not a voter,
will you not place yourself and your
influence on the side of Civic Right
eousness and Social Reform.

DOdgeville's NO=liCenSe Pros
perity.

The following article is write-up
of Dodgeville, Wisconsin, after their
first six months experience as a no
license town. Dodgeville has a
history as license town, the follow
ing article shows what citizens, BUSH
ness and professional men think of
no-license. The testimony of County
Judge Aldro jerks is worth noting.
Iowa County, which boasts the
Oldest courthouse in the state, can
also boast that she is one of the first
counties to have dry county seat.
And boast they do at the county
seat, for they like the seven months
taste of prosperity. They have pros
pered in all lines. The citizens
testify that there is no comparison
between the present orderlineSs
and the disorder which was
frequent under the saloon regime.
The merchants testify that business
has not been injured, while many of
them tell of marvellous gains in cash
In spite of the hard times of the
present moment there is less need
of aid for families them usual.
No one in the town could be found
who thought that saloons would
ever again be tolerated. Even those
who wished to see it said that there
was small hope of their ever again
gaining personal liberty" In the
fancied safety of the temperance
people lies their only danger. The
following from the business men of
the city shows the trend of public
sentiment:
FROM THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.
J. H. Ford, president of the Com
mercial Club, said: You may say
that the Commercial Club is almost
unanimous in its praise of no-license
as business investment. Men who
never before believed in it as a pro-
ftable thing for business, now adj
vocate it on that very ground. At

TAXES DECREASING.

There is a bonded Indebtedness
on the city of some $50, 600 This
is due to the fact that the light plant
is but recently built. The bonds
are being met as fast as they mature,
and the city tax rate is 81 90 less per
81 900 than last year. All bond
payments are made in cash, as
Evansville prides herself that she
never makes a reissue of bonds.
In addition to improvements al
ready made the city has III hand
$1,000 for the erection of a public
library, and So, 500 for the Improve
nent of the lot on which it is to be
located. Over 2, 200 volumes are in
the library at present, and a libra

PROSPEROUS BUSINESS CENTER.
Evansville has one store which
occupies $4,000 feet of floor space,
employs twenty-six clerks and has
sales amounting to $225, 900 annu-
ally, another store only second to
this il size and amount of business
transacted, and thirty smaller stores
all correspondingly prosperous, an
annual in and out freight business
of approximately $3.50, 900, and the
bank deposits averaging $350,000,
all of which bears eloquent tes-
timony to her prosperity, and gives
the lie to the old bugaboo about no
license killing town. A clothing
merchant stated that though he did
a credit business not more than
twenty per cent of the sales were
booked, and not more than one and
one-half per cent of the total sales
were lost in bad accounts.
