FIGHT UPON SALOON PETITION
Anti-Saloon Men Seeking to Get
signers TO Withdraw.
NEED THREE HUNDRED NINETEEN
This Number Must he Secured who
VIII Declare They Did Not
Favor Sale when They
RfRued.

Carefully planned and concerted attacks
are being made upon the huge saloon con-
sent petition that was flied in the office
OF County Auditor lines on Tuesday. The
attack is under the direction Of the Anti
Saloon league Of the state and is being
engineered by r. c. +. Chambers the ac-
tive representative Of the league.
Several plans Of campaign have been
formed and abandoned. The first hope
lay in the belief that enough wrong sig
natures or technical blunders in signing
the names of voters might be discovered
TO destroy the majority required to give
the petition validity.
For example, each voter Is required by
the anti-saloon law TO sign his name in
the same way It appears on the poll books
when he voted. II careless registry
clerk transcribed from the previous poll
book the name of "Jno. s. Smith" as
John 8. Smith" and the man Smith
should suddenly yield to the lifelong habit
OF signing II "Jno. s." when he signed the
petition IL would invalidate the signature
although John might be really aching to
secure protection TO his favorits drinking
resort
II was expected that many errors of this
character could be found but the men
who carried the petition were too shrewd
They took the poll books along and exhorted
each signer to write his name exactly as
II was on the voting register, no matter
what liberties had been taken with his
cognomen. When Mr.. Chambers and his
helpers went over the petition they found
nothing to aid them.
Another plan was to begin a geenral
canvass over the county to induce signers
to withdraw their names under the pro-
vision Of the law giving them ten days
in which TO do So This was found to
involve too much work, for II required
the making OF too many copies OF the huge
petition and securing their circulation In
the limited time.
The decision finally arrived at was to
make one complete copy and concentrate
the withdrawal effort upon one locality,
and that the strongest anti-saloon com
munity in the county. The point selected
was Oakland, the only town in the county
where the name hunters failed to get
enough signatures TO permit the existence
of beer Joint.
The copying work was completed yes
terday. A. ]. Matthews, c. F. Hough
and d. G. Busenburg. all of Oakland, viii
get busy there at once and endeavor to
induce enough OF the signers in the com
munity TO sign their withdrawal petition.
The general consent petition has 31S

Don DeyO Constructs
Electrical Airship
Young Man Builds Machine that
Makes Successful Flights on
Small Scale.

An ingeniously built aeroplane on display
in Electrician Lovett's shop gives prons-
ing encouragement that the coming gener-
alton of Council Bluffs will produce its
share OF aeronautical experts.
Don Deyo. a 20-year-old electrician, Nv
ing at 1895 Avenue c, is the inventor Of
the biplane model. He made Il in the
Lovett shop, where he Is employed, and has
1t adapted to the quarters so that It flies
from one end OF the room. a distance of
forty feet, turns around and returns to the
starting point. The power ia furnished
from an eight-volt current conducted
through q transformer TO an eight-roll
motor especially made by the young in
ventor. The aeroplane, including the motor
and its alunum braces, weighs one and
one-half pounds. The biplane measures
feet wide by 3h feet long. All the steer
ing apparatus, elevaung, lowering and side
planes are controlled by levers ingeniousIy
placed in Juxtaposition with the motor. So
II the machine was larger, they could all be
reached by a driver sitting in one posi-
ton.
Don has complied with all the rules and
laws governing the airways by placing
green and red taillights and brilliant
headlight where they are required by law.
The plane is only a model constructed of
oiled paper, light braces and a homemade
motor with aluminium braces, but II dem
onstrates a talent OF aeromechanical in
genuity that gives promising encourage
ment to the inventors success in future
experiments.
Deyo does not know how soon he will
begin the construction OF another machine
on a larger scale. An experimental model
has 20 be constructed first and larger
machine would necessitate sending for
special engine.

We did not know that July this year
would bring us a new dance. But such
is the case, and the credit for 1t is due
to no less a parsonage than the president
of the National Academy of Dancing

new dance march of the Marseilialse

every town and village from Normandy

The national dancing masters could not
help taking an interest In this national
Choreoeraphic manifestation. They held
a meeting and decided that the people
ought to be taught to dance properly.
and the first requisite was that they
should be supplied with a real national
dance suited to the occasion. Nothing
was simpler than to imagine dance APP
nropriate to the music of the Marseii-
iaise. The technique Of the new dance
seems too complicated to be described In
detail. The dance begins with six step
forward, as in a march. beginning with
one foot, and then repeating the same,
starting out with the other foot After
this follow numerous figures. adaptihg
