MERlTEp PUNISHMENT.
Squire Randall, Of Cedar, Proposes
Putting Stop to HoodIumism.


Justice CIV. Randell, Of East Harri-
son township, recently administered
merited punishment to a couple of
young men of the sownship in way
that is meeting with commendation of
the people of the Cedar neighborhood
The lesson was somewhat bitter
dose for the young men in question,
but it no doubt will make an impress
sion upon others who are inclined to
override restraint of improprieties as
was done by the defendants in this
case. Both of the lads are we'll known
in their respective communities and
the public has the right to expect
better things of them as to their per-
sonal behavior and conduct. The
boys We're complained of as having
deported themselves in an unbeocm-
ing and unseemly manner to the an
noyance and discontinue of people
of the locality. Formal complaint was
made to the justice, arrests made and
the fellows in question brought in.
Upon hearing of the case the boys
were fined fifty dollars and costs. One
of the boys had or was able to pro
duce the cash for his fine and arrange
ments were made for the other lad to
pay his assessment from the wages
he earns as a farm hand.
A few more applications of this sort
might be made at other places in the
county with beneficial effect. East
Harrison is not the only place where
the lesson needs exempIification.

Uses for Roman Amphlthea.ers.

phitheaters at Mines and Aries, hay
ing been turned into fortresses IN
the middle ages. and afterward DC.
cupied by novels from which they
were not freed until the nineteenth
century. have in our time reverted to
something like their original pur'
nose as scenes of bull fights. Only
the southern French bull fight is not
quite the genuine Spanish thing: the
French law would hardly stand that.
The writer recalls seeing a poster con-

BOTH FAVOR A CONVENTION

After II is cail,d, Both Sides Will

Z Y \
Des Moines, une 22.--Just at the
time when the iowa Anti-Saloon lea
que has decided to make a determin.
ed campaign for the holding ofaa con.
stitutional anne adment convention,
there comes the disquieting report
that the Iowa Retail Dealers asso,
citation, now in convention in Des
Moines, will help to bring about the
convention with the hope of packing
it with non-prohibitionists who will
outvote the "drys" and give the
amendment proposition another black
eye.
The report that the liquor dealers
will adopt a resolution favoring the
holding of the convention gained cur
rency last night in Des Moines, but
none of the delegates to the conven.
ton would talk about the subject
when an attempt was made to inter
view them. The rumor came from
the "drys," themselves, but not from
the members of the Iowa Anti-Saloon
league, who are still confident that
they can poll enough votes in the
constitutional amendment convention
to carry their point.
Election This Year.
According to the Iowa constitution,
the question of holding a convention
to amend that document is placed be-
fore the electors every tenth year.
The present year will see 1t submitted
as it has been every tenth year since
1870. But never yet have q majority
of the voters declared in favor of the
convention.
This year the anti-saloon league
has decided to make canvass of the
state with the object of securing
enough votes at the fall election to
assure the holding of the convention.
And now comes the rumor that the
liquor dealers, seeing in the conven.
prohibition than lobbying in the legis.
lature against the submission of an
amendment to the people of the state,
have determined to vote and work
for the same convention that is sought
by the "drys." Then, after the con.
yention is ordered, both sides will
have an opportunity to pack the con.
vention. The "drys" who are oppos.
ed to the convention plan, point to
the evident fact that the saloon men
will be able to command more funds
than their opponents can muster, and
will therefore be able to send more
instructed delegates to the conven,
ton than will attend representing the
prohibitionists.

may be said that in the Lisbon earth.

The property loss in the Portuguese
