Der Will be Cut Down to 86
July 1; License Raised.
Des Moines, June 10-Sixteen Of the
1O2 saloons operating in Des Moines
will be forced to close up July 1. &C
cording to an announcement by Mayor
James r. Hanna, following the final
ruling Of the supreme court in the
Moon law case.
Alternative plans to increase the
licenses of the remaining saloons
from 81 200 to $1,000 is announced to-
day. The action of the supreme court
in declining to rehear the argument
on the Moon law, disposes of con-
troversy that has existed for nearly q
year.
Mayor Hanna stated he had writ
ten to numerous cities and towns in
Iowa about the action their councils
planned to take on the Moon law. Il
discovered" he said, that many have
already cut the number of saloons
down to one for each 1000 inhabitants
and raised their licenses. Three cities
in particular, recall, have raised
their saloon licenses: Cedar Rapids
from $500 to $780, Waterloo from
81, 200 to $1,000 and Creston from
$1,000 to $780,"

ONE DISEASE tanned.

Secretary Sumner Of the state board
OF health has received report, from
the United States public health and
marine hospital service which shows
that Iowa has lower rate OF small
pox cases than any other western state
with the exception Of Washington.
The states enumerated in the table
with their percentage Of cases Is given
as follows:
Colorado-345 cases, or ABB cases
cner 100000 inhabitants.
III Illinois-2,135 cases, or 1881 cases
Her 100000 Inhabitants.
III Iowa--825 cases, or 37.12 cases pei
100000 inhabitants.
u Kansas-2,197 cases, or 1857 cases
Sber 100000 inhabitants.
,430 cases, or 42.38 pei
S1OO 900 Inhabitants.
Y Oregon-252 cases, or 1855 per 100
600 Inhabitants.
,434 cases, Off 90.41
cases per 100000 inhabitants.
Washington-310 cases. or 1888
cases per 100000 inhabitants.
Wisconsin-1,2 08 cases, or 52.14
cases per 100000 inhabitants.
Time was when small pox was the
most dreaded of diseases. Most OF
us would crooss the street to avoid
a house on which there was a small
pox flag. The medical profession has
done great work in extracting the
singer from this disease.

THEwEATHER.

bill Nye," the Omaha Bee observes,
used to say he liked weather. MOST
people do not, though to judge from
the average mans daily remark OF the
weather. It is the one subject OF COM
mon complaint. about which. perhaps
more foolish talk Is INDUCED than most
any other. 81
people, thoughtlessly and unwit'
tingly comment on the weather, no
matter what it may be. Still when one
complains little because the mercury
goes close to 100 in the first days OF
June he must not be judged too Sc
yerely and put down as chronic
Kicker. One thing may be said, though,
sin extenuation for this sudden blaze
itf glory on the part of Old Sol, and
that is, that he is playing no favorites.
Mt is hot all over the country, only
Ilaotter In some places than others. And
ipsven now, while we have been swelter'
ng in the rays Of hot sun, others
have been sweltering In the rays OF a
hotter one, incredible as that may
seem"
