 FIGHTING
 DRY LAW

SEATTLE. Dec. S0 - The Seattle Brewing E Mating Compeny of Seat uo this morning filed in the United States Court an application for on in- junction. directed against the attor- ney general of the state, of which it is sought to prohibit him from en- forcing that section Of the dry law which stops the manufacture or malt liquors in the state.
 Might Kin Entire Law
 The brewery action is the first Of an applications for a temporary or der restraining the attorney general rom destroying beer In storage val ued at S5o.0o0. which. through age ing process. is still In the course of manufacture. The law provides that thc beer shall be destroyed after Jan uary 70. the breweries having ten days after the law goes Into effect January ]. to remove its stock from the state
 However, the petition constitutes a direct attack. not only on the Pro hibition law. but on the amendment to the constitution which made the initiative and referendum @ portion of The legal machinery Of the state. and such measures as the woman's sui fragc Jaw and others which. have been passed under that system should the federal courts support the contentious oi the brewing company and nuiiify the provisions or Initiative No. 8. as well as declare Constitutional Amend meut No. : Illegal all portions of the prohibition law. and all measures brought about through the initiative and referendum win become impera- tve
 Hemrieh's Position
 President Louis Heinrich, of the brewing company. wrote the original argument against the dry law when lt was about to be voted on. on be- haii of the brewery interests. In that argument he said:
 Initiative bDl No would destroy taxable property in this state worth more than S17.000.0oo wipe out an annual pay roll Of more than SS.oo0,- 900. would destroy revenues and taxes of s2600.000, destroy hop crop sold las, year for S1320.0oo and valued this year at S1.S000O0. an industry em- pioylng i5.0o0 people. an annual malt and barley crop of s.20o.0oo bushels. $500 900 worth of which is used local iy. appreciate the value os $500 acres Of hop lands. causing loss of more ttan s2.000.O00: would lose to the state more than S2.o0O.0OO, for So0.ooo barrels of beer brewed here and sold in other states and countries; would lose to business $120o0,aoo now spent annually iu trade channels. and would throw $500 men out of employment and deprive 33.200 other persons de pendent on them of their bread and butter"

WE'RE NOT SO SICK
BUT WE HAVE SOME GRIPPE,
MEASLES AND BRONCHIAL
TROUBLES.

Although far from enjoying perfect
health, Madison, as a whole, has a
much cleaner bill of health than dis
of the east and northwest.
Reports from New York TO Mime
apolis and Sioux Falls are to the eff
feet that the ravages of grippe and
pneumonia are more extensive and
severe now than for years past. The
Minneapolis city health officer has
estimated that one-fourth of the pop
ulation of that city, approximately
$4,000 persons, are suffering from
the effects of pneumonia, grippe or
colds which amount to "near-grippe'
there.
DR.. w. Il. Daniels, of the state
board of health, and DR.. j. M. Duff,
county superintendent of health, said
today that nothing approaching that
condition is manifest here. The ply
sicians told that while there is con-
siderable grippe in the city and coun-
ty, it amounts to an endemic rather
than an epidemic, the malady being
confined to a large extent to individ-
ual localities instead Of being spread
generally over this section. 1t is also
said that there is comparatively little
pneumonia, a kindred disease for this
season of the year, but that there is
a considerable amount of bronchial
trouble. At the Madison hospital to-
day it was reported that there is not
a case of grippe or pneumonia. A
physician at Lake Preston has adj
yised that there is an outbreak of
grippe in that locality, while Dir. Col
Inns, of Howard. said very few cases
had developed there.
The doctors explain that atmos-
pheric conditions have much 10 do
with grippe, and they warn that that
disease and pneumonia are infectious.
They advise against coming into close
contact with affected persons and
against wet feet. Especially are aged
people susceptible TO grippe. it is
said.

LIQUOR men TO Fight
ARE NOT As HOPEFUL As FOR
MERLY - DECEMBER 81
RENELRY FEARED.

Practically all hope of engaging in
the liquor trade on a legitimate basis
in Iowa next year has been abandon
ed by the saloon men and brewers in
the northwestern part of the state,
according to G. J.. Forsyth, of Sioux
City, who was in Madison today. Mr..
Forsyth said that until a few weeks
ago the liquor element there had been
hopeful that the few test cases which
will be instituted in the eastern part
of the state would result favorably
for them, but that they lately seem
to have lost their exuberance. He re-
lated that the wine shop seem
to feel that sentiment, as well as the
new law which puts Iowa into the
ranks of the dry column after jan
uary /, is against the licensed sale of
intoxicants.
He told, however, that there would
probably be as much or more liquor
consumed in Sioux City next month
than during any previous month in
the city's existence. Whole carloads
of beer are being brought from Mil
waukee, st. Louis and the twin cities
TO supplement the output Of the two
Sioux City breweries, and it Is being
slowed away in Easements of private
homes almost as rapidly as it car be
delivered, he said. Mr.. Forsyth also
declared that the demand for wines
and WHISTLES, which dealers are of
fering at greatly reduced prices, is
proportionately as great as that for
the beverage.
Although they may legally keep
their places open until 9 o'clock on
the night of December 81, a number
of saloon men have announced that
they will lock their doors not later
than 6 o'clock. Mr.. Forsyth said
that the hundreds of dollars they
would take in on the last night of
open saloons, is not. In view of the
damage that might be done to fix
lures. extremely tempting. He I'M
derstood that all the saloons that do
keep open at night will have uniform
ed policemen stationed in their bars.

THE WAR AND CRAFT.

Wars have always been accompanied
by business grating in this country
Many a fortune has been founded up
on fat army contracts with this or
other governments. During the civil
war this was especially true. while
there were not a few instances offered
even in our brief war with Spain.
Those business grafters now are Civ
ing the administration a great deal OF
trouble In maintaining neutrality
They seem TO believe that anything
they can put over Is justifiable. no
matter how seriously IL strains diplo-
matte relations between the United
States and other governments. They
consider the warning countries their
legitimate prey and are grievously AZ
fronted when Uncle sam steps in and
spoLs their schemes.
