The BURLINGTON Saloon Cases.


Burlington Hawk-Eye: The deci-
sion of Judge Withrow in the sa-
loon cases yesterday closes for the
time being rather unusual effort to
put Burlington saloonkeepers out of
business. So far the Iowa Anti-Saloon
league, which has been back of the
prosecutions, has failed to produce
evidence sufficient to convict the de
PENDANTS against whom it has taken
action. The single instance Yesterday
of verdict of guilty against Joe Nc
Cabe cannot be said to be victory
for the prosecution. McCabe, ike his
fellow defendants, appeared TO he in
a fair way of acquittal, whe:l, upon
the stand, he made the damaging ad-
mission, in answer to an indifferent
question, that he kept a cerrsin bar
rier in the rear of his place for the
purpose of preventing the DRINKS
from stumbling into the tubs and
boxes there. This statement the court
considered to be an admission that
intoxicated people were haoituallN
pSTHllLIeu III MC0dU6 b Saloon, WHICH
constituted contempt of the courts
injunction.
It may be that other saloons arr
violating the law in a similar man
ner, and If SO they should be punish
ed. But, except this admission OF Nc
Cabe, no evidence of such violation
has been produced.
While the Hawk-Eye desires tina
the saloon people Of Burlington b.
required to obey the law, it has no
looked with favor upon the manne1
in which the cases against them hav'
been brought. At the time the ;.ctiol
was taken here by the Iowa Anti-Sa
| loon League it called attention T,
the fact that the saloon men in TIL,
city were apparently rpheying tn.
law to the best of their knowledge
and, according to the instructions 0
their legal. advisors The barren re
suits in the.s cases brought 5yf tn

i that, in fact, : the mulct law was a
that time and is now being observer
in Burlington in very satisfacto-
manner.

A CHANCE FOR KEokuK.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
DIES MONIES, Iowa, May 80, 1911.
Fifty years ago at this time the
First, Second and Third regiments of
Iowa Infantry -ere in rendezvous in
your city These regiments all went
from Keokuk about the same time for
the seat OF war and made splendid his
tory for Iowa in the fight for the
Union 1t has been in the hearts of
the few survivors to hold final half
century reunion in that city mem
orable to them as the place where
they were mustered into the service
and learned their first lessons in the
school of the soldier. Such meeting
would be notable in many ways.
Would such meeting be of interest
to the people of Keokuk?

The foregoing letter explains itself,

Keokuk should not be overlooked. 1t
is only necessary to invite the sur
vivors of the First, Second and Third
Iowa Infantry regiments to hold their
reunion mere III OIQeT W SECulS sum
a meeting as they would like to hold
in commemoration of their interesting
experier in this city fifty years
ago. IL .esponse of Keokuk to the
suggestion should be so prompt and
cordial as to assure the veterans that
they Will be welcome and that nothing
will be left undone to make their visit
here pleasant and profitable to them.
Probably the local G. A. R. posts
would be the proper organizations to
take the initiative in the matter OF
extending the desired invitation. The
matter of arranging for their enter
tainment could also be safely left in
the hands of the old soldiers resident
here. But these should have the en-
tire community behind them in what
ever they undertake. All KeokuI
should and no doubt will take pleas
ure in doing honor to the brave cid
boys who were mustered into the
service and took their first lessons in
the school of the soldier on the bluffs
overlooking the mighty Mississippi in
the vicinity Of Rand Park.

QUEER THING IN BIRD LIFE
FantaH Pigeons Hatch Out q Bantam

Feeding II.


The following experience. says =
writer in tie Strand: have recently
had may be of interest to your read
ers. l have two fantail pigeons. both
male birds, and noticed one day that
they built a nest and then were sit
ting on it alternately, as II they were
going to hatch eggs. It struck me
that it might be good idea to put an
egg of my bantams into the nest to
compensate the pigeons for the trou-
BILE they had taken in building 1t. Ap-
parently they appreciated my doing
so, as from that time they never left
the nest for about three weeks, when.
to my great surprise. found little
chicken peeping from the pigeons
nest. It was touching to see how the
pigeons tried to feed the chicken by
opening their beaks, like pigeons do,
and inviting the youngster to help
himself to the contents Of their crops.
which. of course it refused to do, be-
cause 1t is chicken and not pigeon.
The pigeons are very fond Of the little
one. and take 1t under their wings to
keep it warm whenever it wants it,
exactly as hen treats her chickens.

The wonderful old Aztec town of
Mexcaltatan, the Mexican Venice" is
built In the form Of cart-wheel, with
It's plaza for hub and, for spokes, ca
nails. bordered with huts, radiating out
to an outer rim of water. Mr.. Dillon
Wallace, travelling recently Beyond
the Mexican Sierras," not only found
Mexcaltatan most picturesque, but ex-
perienced there that pleasurable thrill
that always comes on meeting some
one in foreign land who can speak
ones own language. The converse
tional results are given below.
Very enhancing the little town look
ed as approached. The sun was just
dropping behind the lagunas, lighting
the tops of graceful cocoanut-palms
that rose high above the plaza, and
setting on fire the red-tiled roofs of
gray huts below, while the murky ca
nails lay in deep and somber shadow.
A bit of old Mexico, solitary and alone,
untouched and unmarried by the march
OF civilization, it seemed to breathe
something of the mystery of forgotten
days.
Afterward we went to fish break
fast at the hut which was the hotel;
a guest was at table when we en-
tered, who proved to be school-teach-

ing his hand to each, greeted us in
English:

1t was gratifying to find some one
who could speak English, and was
exceedingly pleased to meet him. A
schOolmsater he was doubtless a man
of some education, and his knowledge
of English would enable us to con-
verse with him, and thus learn much
of our surroundings that we should
otherwise miss.
