RANKIN MAKES sIeNERs.
MoIder- Orator Delivers Hot Message
Against the Saloon.

Molder Orator Delivers Hot Message
Against the Saloon.
About 500 people sat in the damp
and chilly atmosphere of the Sunday
tabernacle Wednesday night for two
hours, most Of which time was occu-
pied by A. G. Rankin, the molder-ora-
tor of Pittsburg, in an address that
held the undivided attention of the au-
dience turnout, and served to warm
any who might have been cold or luke
warm, either physically or in the cause
| Of temperance reform.
| Mr.. Rankin rehearsed no dry or te-
dious statistics nor stories of the ruin
wrought by rum. He spoke almost ex-
clusively on present conditions, the
mighty agencies at work, and the GER
| tainty that the war against the liquor
traffic will be fought out to success
full issue.
Rev. c. H. Morris made a few pre-
liminary remarks, during which he
stated that the aiti-saloon people ex-
pect to get 1900 names on the remon-
STRANGE petition.
Mr.. Rankin opened by saying he new
er had found sentiment so strong dur
ing his twenty-four years work in
temperance as it is now for prohibition

1.-THE people Of this state are going
to put the booze business out of Iowa. .
he declared. IT'S got to go. And the
whole state is looking to Marshalltown
to take the lead in this great move

to succeed. And the whisky drug
store must go with the mulct saloon"

fend the traffic on its merits.
The speaker paid asstrong tribute to
Evangelist Sunday and the great work
he is doing. He has lectured in yari-
Gus cities where Sunday has held
meetings and alwayslt hound conditions
wonderfully improved, he said. He
urged the new converts to get busy in
this saloon closing crusade and help
rout the booze business from the city.
Mr.. Rankin took up and dissected
the argument advanced for retaining
the saloons and left them without any
vincing logic. He maintained that
neither Marshalltown nor any other
city has a right to foist the open sa-
loon upon community without con-
sent of the outlying country, and that
the farming element should not permit
1t. I'VE make concessions to the sa-
looms that we do not to any other bust
ness" he said.
The speaker laid great stress upon
the opinion of eminent Indiana jurists,
that the saloon is an outlaw, nuis-
ance, and has no right to exist under
the laws of this country
He closed by saying that Mr.. Sunday
had planted good seed here, but the
salvation of the converts depends upon
work and that they should go after
the saloons in the BILLY" Sunday style
| AT the close Of Mr.. Rankin's address
those present, who had not signed the
saloon remonstrance, but were willing
to do so, were asked to raise their
hands. Nearly twenty did so and they
were requested to step to the plat
were requested to step to the plat
form and sign, which they did.

sIGNERs INCREASING
Anti.saIoon Forces Estimate That
Total of 1000 sisners Were Secured
Up to Last Night-Headquart
opened-Pettions Being Vigorously
Pushed Today.

Without any means Of obtaining an
actual count, because the petitions are
still being circulated, it was estimated
that up to the close Of Wednesday
night that the petitions to close the sa-
looms had been signed by not less than
1000. This estimate is based on. the
new signers secured Wednesday, added
to those secured on the previous days.
Today headquarters were again
opened in the Fry block, where all from
every ward can sign. Ward chairmen
will be on duty there at least during
the rest of the week, or until the CAM
paign is ended.
Approximately twenty signers were
secured at the tabernacle meeting, which
was addressed by A. G. Rankin Wednes-
day night. A more thorough and Wig
orous circulation of the petitions was
begun this morning than on any day
this week.
Rev. C. H. Morris, who introduced
the speaker at the tabernacle Wednes-
day night, said that many signers ,,aG
been secured Wednesday who would
not sign Monday, but who had decided
to sign after reading the exposure il
the T.-R. of the libelous Muscatine
story circulated on hand bills. He al
vised all to read the T.-R., as it was in
the right and was fully trustworthy.

will he the largest stake ever Of
fered for saddle ring In this or any
other country. the nearest being

the first large saddle stake, $1,000,
was offered in this city In 1899 by
G. f. Clark, and papers through the
country, especially In Kentucky. SCOT
fed at the idea, saying 1t was pre-
posterous to offer such large sum.
In a speech, Wednesday evening,
at the meeting Of the Missouri Sad

Mr.. Clark spoke of this event. The
ring was the one in which Rex
Mcdonald won over Lou Chief, with
Ken.ueky Star, ridden by Tom
Bass, third. Kentucky papers an
nounced through their columns Mis-
souri, was crazy" to offer such a
stake. Mr.. Clark stood behind the
guarantee and did not lose cent.
The same year they offered a
$1,000 stake for yearlings and a
$1,000 sake for 2 year old trotters,
