Marshaltown Cuts Saloons Down.

MarShaIItOWn, Jan. 3-MaTSnaIItOW1I
started the New Year with but
twelve instead Of eighteen saloons. At
the adjourned meeting Of the city
council the council first withdrew the
consent for 1910 issued to seven
saloons this month. then issued twelve
new permits to assignees of former
owners or to the same owners in their
old places or in new places. An ordi-
nance was introduced which raises the
city's share Of the license, which the
saloons must pay, so that instead OF
the city receiving $4,000 from the
eighteen saloons it will receive
$14,4O0 from the twelve so-called new
places This is gain of $500 for
the city's share with six less saloons.

done without serious trouble with the

When the Turkish authorities decided to

blood. 30 they took the infinitely less
merciful course of shipping the dogs
wholesale to the desolate island of Okla,
