ESTHER WINS.

The Esther people succeeded IN
knocking out the petition Of Otto
Huett for a license u open dram.
shop In that village. Mr.. Pipkin
represented the demonstrators, and
contended that "the petition was
defective, fraudulent and void; that
1t contained names of about one
hundred Hungarians who were not
legal signers because they were not
naturali2ed.' ~ Mr. Pipkin filed an
opinion of Attorney General Major,
who contends that no foreign who
Is not naturali2cd is competent
singer to n dramshop petition, nj.
though his name may appear on the
tax books. Several parties made af-
fidavit that their names were forged
To the petition. The County Court
decided that the petition was dcfec-
tive and refused to grant license. A
good many citizens from Esther
were present to protest against the
granting of license.
This is the second or third at
tempt that has been made to get IA
license to open n dramshop in Es-
ther, but the residents Of that vii
lage, large majority of whom are
said to he opposed to Il dramshop in
their midst, have vigorously pro-
tested against and fought every petit
tion. The town Is unincorporated
and petition for dramshop there
must contain the signatures of
majority of the taxpayers Of the
township outside the incorporated
towns Of the township. AS large
majority of these are non-residents
of Esther, many Of them living six
or eight miles away, and have no
interest in the town, they ought To
respect the wishes of the people Of
Esther and positively refuse to sign
any petition for n dramshop at that
place. 1t is hoped that If another
attempt is made to get up a petition
for IA dramshOp there the taxpayers
of the township will refuse to sign
it. They will thereby save expense
to the county, annoyance to many
good people, and carry out the gold
en- rule of doing unto others as they
would have them do unto them.

EXPECTED METEoRIC DISPLAY.

A Washington special OF the 9Th
says that according to government
astronomers, the August shooting
star" season will open Wednesday
night, and the display this year
promises to eclipse any OF the per
formances Of Halley's comet, whose
visit a few months ago was disap.
pointing to many observers, and
failed to come up to advance press
notices.
There is always more or less fire.
quency Of these periods OF "shoot.
ing stars" during August, and the
meteor which fell near Council
Bluffs, Ia, two days ago may have
been the opening number on the
programme. The display will last
about a week. The night Of August
IA (St. Lawrence Day. IL the tradi-
tional time for these heavenly bodies
to be most numerous, but they will
be very plain all during the week,
and should average from thirty to
forty per hour.
The moon will be in it's first quar-
ter, and thus not bright enough to
obscure the path of light made by
the stars" Prof. Hall of the
United States Naval Observatory
says: ut IL a mistake to call these
tiny masses stars much more so
to call them shooting stars They
are in all probability nothing but
tiny particles Of some comet which
have been left suspended in space
after that visitor passed on its way,
and are picked up by the atmosphere
of the earth when IL reaches the or
bit of the comet"

BIG BLAZE.

Last Saturday night between
and 10 o'clock n barn on Mr.. Felix
Glover's place, in the Haw addition,
was destroyed by fire, together
with n large quantity of hay that
was stored in ii and a large number
of chickens that made their rousting
place in the barn. The flames were
far advanced when the alarm was
given and when the fire brigade ar.
rived with the hose it was too late
to do anything but keep the flames
from spreading to other buildings.
1t is not known how the fire started,
but there is Il strong suspicion that
some fire hug is responsible for re-
cent unaccountable fires.

n these days, when the question of
wet" and dry" zones throughout
the United States is under discussion
and the question of restricted liquor
traffic is being voted upon in many
parts of the country, it may be in
teresting to know of the Original Pro-
hibitionist." He was an Indian. Some
people called him a savage, yet he was
the first and only living man who ever
persuaded the government of the United
States 10 take any steps in the regula-
ton of the liquor traffic, other than
to tax it,
One hundred and nine years ago yes
terday the Original ProhibitiOnist''-
Mechecunnequa, the English literal
translation of which is Little Turtle"
appeared before the Great Father
In Washington, who happened to be
Thomas jefferson, and through an in
terpreter implored the President to for
bid the sale of liquor to the Indians
within the jurisdiction of the United
States. Thomas jefferson gave heed to
the suggestions OF the Miami Indian
chief, and sent a special message to
Congress, which resulted in giving the
treasury department the power to re-
strict the Introduction and sale of
spiritUous liquors to tie Indians.
William L. Johnson, chief special
agent of the United States Indian serv-
ice, whose headquarters are in Salt
Lake, has marked the event, and con-
siders Mechecunnequa prominent
figure and the one who laid the foun-
datiOn for the restriction Of Introduction
and sale of liquor within the limits of
government Indian reservations.
According to Mr.. Johnson, the great
chief and prophet, Lawlewasika of the
Shawnee Indians, also did his part to
establish a superstition which for many
years held the Indians of North
America in Gear of "fire-water."
Lawlewasika was blind of one eye.
To the Indians it was a mark of dis
tinctiOn and one which marked him as
a seer and a medicine man. One day,
more than half a century ago, Law
lewasika had a vision. He dreamed that
he was unceremoniously transported to
the shades of he'll. There he saw an
endless line OF Indians with fire issu-
ing from THAR mouths. Ike so many
blOw-flames. When ne inquired of
Satan why the Indians were subjected
to such endless tOrtuTes, he was in
formed by his satanic majesty that
while on earth the Indians had been
whisky drinkers, and that the punish
ment of being everlasting blOw-pipes
The Salt Lake herald-Republican. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1909-1918, 1910-04-17

was the punishment made to fit the
offense
Lawlewasilza communicated his vision
to the Indian tribes of the earth. He
set them in fear that, unless they alb
stained from drinking whisky, they
would be subjected to the everlasting
punishment of being lined up in hell
and blowing fire from their throats
and nostrils. 1t is a matter of history
that the word of the Indian prophet
had and still has a lettering effect on
the Shawnees.
The old chief, Mechecunnequa, was
not as much of a dreamer as his
Shawnee brother. 1t was in 1901 that
the yearly meeting of Friends was held
in Baltimore to discuss ways and means
to prevent the Indians from securing
liquor, which crazed them and caused
them to murder and MAIN each other
in an appalling manner. The Society of
Friends accepted a proposal of the
chief, Little Turtle, who then swayed
much influence with the Miami Indians
scattered thicl:ly through Indiana. Lit
tie Turtle, through an interpreter made
an impassioned speech against the use
of liquor among his people. His speech
met with approval, and a commission
accompanied him to Washington, where
the situation was lalQ DefOre RreSlQenJ
Jefferson, and resulted in the Indian
liquor act, which has renamed unap-
pealed and is in full force and effect
today.
William E. Johnson is the chief of
that department of the government
which has for its purpose the enforce
ment of the restrictions against liquor
On Indian reserves. His headquarters
have been in Salt Lake for a little
less than two years, but in that time
he has convicted more than 1,200 men,
many of whom are in the penitentiary.
of Indian liquor depredatiOns.
Within the past few weeks Mr.. John
son has turned his attention to suppress
sing the Introduction and sale of liquor
among the Chippewa Indians in north
ern Minnesota. A short time ago in
the town of Detroit, Mimi, he permitted
two saloons to remain open upon the
pledge Of the city government that they
would refrain from selling liquor to the
Indians
The ministerial alliance of the town
is now up in arms against the remain
ing two saloons, and has called a mass
meeting to instigate sentiment to close
the two places. Mr.. Johnson, who is
known all over the country where In
dams are located as "Pussy-foot," has
been invited to attend the mass meet
ing.
