PROHIBITION WAVE HAS SWEPT
OVER WIDE SECTION.
&1osults Are Ear Rcnching-In Many
Statco Question O~vershAdows All
reasc m Drunkenness and Crime.

A wave of prohibition has swept
with such remarkable effect over the
south n sentiment has SO crystallized
against the saloon and IT'S kindred
evils THAI the new year opens upon a
vast stretch OF territory absolutely be-
reft OF liquor. while the area where
the Observation-Disclosures have tri-
umphed marks the battle ground for
Impending fights on h question.
Significant OF tho magnitude this
problem has assumed Is the fact that
e. sanyr states prohibition obscures all
Dtfrer municipal and state questions.
Other states have disposed of the issue
temporarily at least. by the passage OF
statutory laws, whose efficiency must
got be tested. In still other states
the elections have restricted the sale
OF liquors In the larger cities.
More hi half the south's terri
tory is dry" absolutely, and in the
De restricted.
1t is evident thai the cities are the
only remaining strongholds for the sa-
ICONS, and 1T rs unlikely that this con-
-dition will be modified except through
. radical change in political thought,
through nature TO enforce the laws
against the liquor traffic, failure to
solve tho problem growing out Of def
scits in county. municipal and state
treasures from a loss OF the whisky
tax, or inability to o with the Illicit
sale OF whisky. and perhaps other OBJ
stables which FOLLOW in the wake of
prohibition
The results OF prohibition generally
are CLEANED from reports indicating a
great decrease In the number Of ar
rests for drunkenness, an increase in
the bank deposits OF laborers, fewer
cases OF wife abandonment. and a de-
crease in criminality generally. The
difficulty OF enforcing the prohibition
laws. however, is conceded to be n
of the chief obstacles to It's absolute
success In yaany states.

KORESH I. IS DEAD.

Sect, Held for Resurrection.

Sect, Held for Resurrection.
Cyrus II. Tecd. known as koresh L.,
founder and head Of the koreshnn
Unity Corporation OF Western people,
who bought ii large tract of land IN
Lee County. Fla. several years ago and
sought to establish their peculiar be-
liefs in hat section of the country,
died early Tuesday morning.
The fact of his death was not dis
closed until Thursday, and when inv2s-
tigation was made. his devOut followers
said they were awaiting a resurrection.
While the body of the leader lay unlt-
tended, Victoria Gratia. the supposed
wife of iced, assumed the throne with
much Solemnity, and declared that the
body should not be buried until there
was a manifestation of the divine will.
The basis of the Koreshan cosmog-
ony is that all life is cellular, originat-
ing in cells, all living structures being
composed of cells and propagating
cells: whence the conclusion that the
universe, the great aggregation of all
cells, must itself be a cell. the material
walls of which are composed of the
shell of the earth.
Teed was one of Chicago's
of eccentric religious leaders UP to
about six years ago, when he removed
his headquarters to Florida. 1t was in
Chicago that he developed his cult of
Koreshanity and gained the nucleus CT
a following that eventually numbered
from $4,000 to 10000 believers.

BoNDSMEN ASKED TO SETTLE.
Peculiar Issue Develops In Gregory

bonds. and can the bondsmcn be com
DelIcd to settle for the non-appearance
thus involved? This is an issue ABOUT
to be brought forward in Gregory

tails in connection with the case Whlch

Last August Miss Bessie SinkuIar,

the fact that Investigation seemed to

A case of Importance to every per

mortgage Of 81 900 on the property.
After the fire the insurance company
was notified, but declined to make set
Element, and thus suit followed on the
ground that the loss, If any, should
be paid to Mr.. Glider and also for
the reason that Mr.. Chaplin had taken
out an additional policy in another

carrying the risk. Mr.. Warren, OF

The investigation reveals the fact
that Maths was in close relation with

OIL TRUST OUSTED.
Missouri Supreme Cour Itendcr
SxyceDing Opinion.

Declaring that the Standard On
of Indiana, the Republic oii
Of ohio and the waters
Pierce OH Company of Missouri, had
and combined to monopoliZe
the oil business in that state the SUI
preme court Of Missouri Wednesday
Issued q decree ousting all three from
the commonwealth and filming them
$4,000 each.
The decree against the Waters
Pierce company is tempered by the
proviso that it may continue in BUSH
ness If by January Is, 1909, it can
show to the court that 1t has taken
steps to operate as an independent
concern and has satisfied the judgment
against It. The other companies are
given until March ], 1909. to wind up
their affairs in the state.
The Republic Oil company, accord
ing to a statement filed with the secre-
tary of state last June, has ceased to
do business in Missouri, having old
its interests March l., 81
The decision, which was unanimous
on the part of the seven judges, is so
sweeping that Attorney General Had
ley and Gov. Folk hail it as the end
of the illegal commercial combine
tons in Missouri, and the former as
serts that, in conjunction with the de-
cision Of the supreme court Of the
United States in the tobacco trust case,
it will affect similar suits in other
states.
Attorney Genera Hadley. who has
prosecuted the Missouri case since its
inception in March, 1905, will become
governor in less than a month. and
then will be charged with the enforce
ment of the decree issued Wednesday.
The attorney general followed up the
PRONUNCIATION by the court with a
statement in which he asserted that
attempts had been made to compro-
mise the suit.

to amount to $4,000 some time be-
tween last Saturday and Monday night.
Detectives Have been at work on the
case, burt 1t is stated that no clews

no arrests have been made. The loss
OF money was discovered when the
bark opened for business Monday
morning. Whether 1t vas taken by an
expert thief after the close Of h bank
on Saturday, or was removed after the
vault a been locked for h night,
has not been determined. All the Of

matter. President John Bartle admit

bank was insured for $4,000 with a
casualty company the loss to the
stockholders would be less than $5,-
