The saloonnen of Council Bluffs, in
seeking to secure a new general petition
of consent. will meet with opposition
from the combined forces of the Minis
terial association and the Iowa Anti-Sa-

Ministerial association Wednesday morn
ing II was determined that the association
should cooperate with the A~nti-saloon
