Howard dispatch: 1t seems that
the salo n question is not yet decided
in Howard. The election a few weeks
ago resulted in a victory tor the vets
by a majority of 90. Now the people
are confronted with the proposition of
who shall run the two saloons allowed
by law. The city council received APP.
plications for license from four parties.
Feeling that the best way to settle the
question was by a vote Of the people,
an election will be held in the near
future.
A report was current on the
streets today that hearing had
been had In the Madison city
election case, but the report was un.
founded. The matter is in the hands
of Judge Jones to be taken up at lis
discretion. He is at the present time
holding court in Sioux Falls which
will probably continue this week and
next, and the Madison case will prob
ably not come up until the latter part
of the month. 1t is likely that Judge
Jones will come to Madison to hold the
hearing.

Chas. Robeck was ont today circu-
lsting a petition to the state board
of regents, asking the use of East
Hall for clergymen and delegates to
the national general conference of the
Baptist church TO be held in Madison
August 90 to %. The petition was
signed by everybody to whom present
ed. 1t is expected that 1000 or more
clergymen and delegates will attend
the convention and while the homes of
the city will be thrown open to them
ii will tax the residents of the city TO
care for them. The use Of East Hall
would greatly assist in solving the
problem, and the fact that delegates
will be here from every state in the
union and Canada, the regents will un-
doubedly grant privileges asked in the
petition.
The dandelions are beginning to dis
play their ten dollar gold piece heads.
individually they are a pretty flower.
but soon when they come out on dress
parade in platoons and armies and mil
lions, lawn keepers will refer to them
as the yellow peril. The lest way
to get rid of the dandelions is to eat
'em. People who have sampled them

tonic, good for the liver. The bios.

lectsble beverage. We don't happen
to have the wine recipe at hand this
morning. The shovel and the hoe and
gasoline and several sulphates are used
Ms exterminators-but after all the
yellow peril is here to stay.
