YANKTON SALOONS
A Disputed Question Gets Into
Judge Trips Court.

Ysnkton, May 1.-THE "wet'' VS..
''dry" question was up before Judge
X. b. Trip, a question that interests
all Yankton, no matter what side one
may happen to be on. About two
weeks ago the "drys" filed an injunc-
ton upon the city commission, which
forbade that body from issuing any
saloon licenses until the peculiar local
situation had been argued out in court.
This move put the matter squarely up
to the saloon men of the city. The
commission, as a commission, had
simply called an election on the pre-
sentation of The usual petition. 1t
was up to the petitioners to take the
next step for their own protection.
This was done through French & Or
Viz, before Judge r. b. Trip.
The "drys' hold that the petition
did not have sufficient legal free
holders upon ii as signers, therefore
the recent election was illegal and in
effect not held at all. The "wets'' in
answer claimed the said petition did
have sufficient number of legal free
holders upon it. and that the election
held on licensed saloons was legal.
and that therefore the injunction on
the city should be set aside, allowing
the city to grant the licenses in accord
ance with the city vote. This, with
the legal phrasing eliminated, is the
situation. Judge Trip will now set
a day for the hearing of the case,
which is really a contested election
suit. The matter will then be decided
according to Law, and depends of
course upon who signed the petition
and how they stand Ms legal freeholders.

7. OGDEN. IOWA.

It has been quite while since the
readers Of your journal have heard
from this part Of the country hence
though it might be somewhat re-
freshing to some to know that Ogden
is still on the map. You know there
has been much dissatisfaction on the
part Of the white citizens because the
colored miners come in Boone county
to dig coal. You all know what The
Ogden controversy was and what sac
rifice it was for the colored miners
to endeavor to gain a foothold in this
coal field. Every unfare means We're
advanced to get them out. Some
fainthearted ones were soon convin-
ced that there was no possible hope
for the colored people 70 stay, hence
they took up their beds and walked,
rather rode at the expense of the
district. Some had the tenacity of
the English bull dog" held on, yes;
they were like "Bargar Ghost"
would not down. The colored children
were not permitted to attend school
with the white children, neither
would the district directors grant
them school under any circum-
stance, but the matter was taken up
with the attorney general, Hon. Geo.
Cosson, who forced the directors to
give the colored children q school.
But these matters have all been set
tied. The white and colored miners
are working in .be mines together,
meet in the same local and all seem
to be perfectly satisfied.
. The public school was taught by.
Miss Adah Hyde, one Of Des Moines
fairest young ladies. Her term was
quite success. The work she did
reflects credit upon both the high
school Ct Des f'..nes and Iowa State
university. The school term was only
four months, the spring term Of two
months was to have begun in this
month, but owing to the smallpox
and measles both schools had dwin-
died in number. This being . fact;
the board thought it would be using
economy to put both schools together,
hence the colored children are now
going to the white school. So you
