SALOONS in MADISON
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS APP
PROVE BONDS AND SALOONS
ARE UNDER WAY.

The Lake county commissioners
who had refused to approve bonds of
saloonmen, reversed themselves late
Saturday afternoon and approved the
bonds-and saloons in Madison have
the right of way until June 80, at
least. After the bonds had failed of
approval the matter was taken before
Judge Jones by a Sioux Falls attor-
ney in the interest of the saloonmen
and Judge Jones issued a citation to
the commissioners to appear before
him on May 10 and show cause why
they had declined to approve the
bonds. When this citation was
served on the commissioners, Com
missioner Simmons moved a recon
sideration of the vote by which the
bonds failed of approval. The vote
resulted, Simmons yes, Finnie yes,
Curtis no, and the motion carried.
1t has been reported about the city
that Judge Jones signed an order re-
quiring the commissioners to approve
the bonds, but such is not the case.
He simply issued a citation requiring
them to show cause. This was a
preliminary well understood by bust
ness men and was far from an order
to the commissioners to approve the
bonds. The board could have been
represented before the judge by the
states attorney, and questions of law
bearing on the case would have been
presented and argued. That Judge
Jones would have formally ordered
the commissioners to approve the
bonds is perhaps doubtful in the face
of the supreme court decisions pre-
scented to the county commissioners
by the states attorney. AS a matter
of fact, without the slightest word of
compulsion from Judge Jones, Com
missioner Simmons, who at first
voted against approval of the bonds,
reversed himself in favor, making
possible their approval.
The formalities of paying license
money to the county and city treas
urers was complied with and saloons
commenced operating in Madison on
Monday, May IL.

CAMPAIGN
OF STATEWIDE PROHIBITION TO
BE LAUNCHED IN SOUTH
DAKOTA.

Mitchell, May 11.-Ihat a state
wide prohibition campaign for South
Dakota in the near future is a proba-
bility is evident from the action
taken by the state Sunday school
convention which was in session in
this city last week. At the closing
session the following resolution was
adopted:
I'm view of the fact that many
states are now getting ready for the
nationwide prohibition crusade we
would recommend that a statewide
campaign be launched by our tenn
perance agencies with a view to
bringing the question of prohibition
to a vote in 1915, thereby swinging
South Dakota into the dry column"
1t is understood that the conven-
ton had special reference to the
Anti-Saloon League in this resolu-
ton and that it amounts practically
to an instruction to that organization
to take steps Immediately to start the
big a~nti-liquor fight in South Dakota.
superintendent r. N. Holsaple, of the
State Anti-Saloon League, stated that
before any action could be taken by
his organization 1T would be neces-
sary to call a meeting of at least the
headquarters committee If not the
state board of trustees, and that a
careful canvass must be made of the
leading temperance forces of the
state with a view to sounding the
sentiment on this question.

LAW.
Attorney General Calls Meeting of
City and County Attorneys.

Pierre, May lion account of
the opposition manifested at many
points to state examinations of city
and county records, as authorized by
enactment of the last legislature, At
torney General Johnson has called a
meeting of county and city attorneys
of the state to be held at Pierre Tues
day, May IL. At this session the in
tention is TO instruct the local of
ficials thoroughly in the legal phases
of this controversy, as an aid in such
cases where the county commission
ers decline to authorize the examina-
lions or allow payment for the ex-
penses involved.
At several points where such Off
cial examinations have been conduct
ed, in response to the requisite petit
ton, the city and county boards have
refused to accept the reports and
have taken the attitude of absolute
ly ignoring all recommendations or
findings by the state examiner.
Under the new law provision is
made for regular examination of
county records and for inspection of
city records upon the filing of a pc
tition making such request. In both
cases the law provides that the local
boards must pay the expenses of the
examination.

DEATH OF PIONEER
Il. OWENS DIED AT THE
HOME OF HIS DAUGHTER
YESTERDAY.

owen T. Owens died yesterday at
1890 at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Lizzie Harvey, West Sixth
street, after a short illness. Deceased
was a pioneer settler of this vicinity,
locating in Moody county in 1878.
Deceased was born in Wales, Jan. l.,
1898. He was brought to the United
States by his parents at the age of
two years, the family locating at Uti-
ca, n. Y. In early manhood he re-
moved to Wisconsin, where he was
married, and at the breaking out of
the civil war he entered the army
and served during the war i'm a Wis
consin regiment. At the close of the
war he removed to Minnesota, later
locating in Moody county where he
resided until 1882 when he took up
his home near Ft. Pierre. Two years
ago he came to Madison where he
has since resided with his daughter,
Mrs. Harvey. His wife died a num-
Der of years ago, also a son. He is
survived by five children-Mrs. Kate
Bishop of Greenville, N. Y, Mrs.
Mary Armstrong of Emmetsburg,
Iowa, Mrs. Maggie Ostrander of Bar
num-, Mimi, Mrs. Annie Friener of
FIT. Pierre, this state, and Mrs. Har-
vey, with whom he made his home.
A sister, Mrs. Jennie Wentworth of
Athens, N. Y, also survives.
The funeral will be held from the
home in this city at a date to be an
nounced later. Burial in Wentworth
cemetery, beside his wife. A tragic
feature of the death of the wife is
recalled as one of the fatalities of
the great blizzard which swept over
the northwest in January, 1888. Mr..
and Mrs. Owens were caught out in
the storm and after the wife became
exhausted Mr.. Owens carried her on
his back until he found shelter, but
the hardship was SO severe that she
died as a result of the exposure.

had come into view here. Those pres

that they may later adopt the style.
The men liked it. Among those

The method used to bring about
the vote in 1916 would probably be to
initiate a statewide prohibition law
at the coming session of the legisla-
ture. With the remarkable progress
that is being made by the dry forces
throughout the nation the leaders of
the movement here express conf
dence in the outcome of such a cam
paign in this state.
The convention also endorsed the

gressmen of the state to support this
resolution.

MASON CITY WAKES UP.
Will Send Delegation TO Waterloo
Meeting to Fight For Franchise.

Meeting to Fight For Franchise.
Mason City baseball fans. who have
been said to desire place in the Cen
ira, association. but who have not
shown any signs of active participation
in the fight for the Gaiesburg fran
chise, have come forward with the an
nouncement that they are after berth
and that they viii! send large delega-
ton to the Waterloo meeting in Janu-
airy. where they will make a fight for
consideration. Up to the present time
it seems that Galesburg would have no
opposition for membership. but the
Mason City announcement removes all
thought Of a peaceful solution of final
makeup of the Central for 1915.
Their is no doubt that Mason City
would prove stronger member than
Galesburg. The latter city has been
tried and found wanting, while Mason
City has gone out and raised $4,000
in two weeks time for the support of
a semi professional team. IF we can
raise $4,000 for a semi professional
team" declared a Mason City bust
ness man, who had taken IN interest in
the project. I'VE ought to be able to
raise $4,000 for first class club"
According to the Waterloo newspa-
pers the fans are counting on the sup
port of Cedar Rapids, Burlington, Mar
shalltown and Waterloo. While it Is
true that some Of these cities will
boost for Mason City, it IS not likely
that all will, but on the other hand, 1t
is believed here, that one of the towns
not counted on by Mason City for sup
port, will worked for her admission. 1t
is believed that Mason City, should the
fans Of that city come to the meeting
with a determination to carry their
project thru, can count on sufficient
support to make their admission GER
tain.
