On Sunday evening, the Epworth
League held 1.'Oonyention Echo"
service in their rooms at the Central

ed vocal quartette with Misses Mar

ner and Miss Lenore Farley, Newtoo,

Audience was present, which nearly
filled the league rooms, and the whole

STOP THE WASTE.

STOP The WASTE.
That prohibition prohibits is shown
by the fact that the federal govern.
ment's income has been reduced this
year 100000. Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury Peters says: THE
revenues from whisky and alcoholic
beverages have shrunk considerably
over 100000 year, and this un.
questionably is due to the spread of
the temperance movement, and we are
preparing to see 1t continue to dimin'
ish from this cause" q. .. -
The diminution to come will be be,
cause OF nine states prohibiting liquor
in. their borders, to take effect next
year. A new plan and system of taxa
ton will be arranged and there are
many sources of revenue that can be
made instrumental for government re-
sources. ,s, "a b. -a 81
The history Of prohibition shows
that II so lessons expenses that the
smaller revenue is amply sufficient
Russia's minister of finance testifies
that even In war, times this is true
and Bngland's great expert, Joseph
Chamberlain, says on this subject: III
! could tomorrow destroy the desire
for strong drink in the people of Eng
land and could prohibit its use and
manufacture, what changes we should
see. We should see taxes reduced by
millions sterling. We should see ouI
jails and warehouses; empty. We
should see. more lives saved in twelve
months, than are consumed in cen
fury of bitter, savage warfare"
~ Yet men still ask what will happen
to the, revenues Of the country Il
liquor is abolished. Experience, with
prohibition almost In it's infancy, al
ready shows that there will be nc
shortage In revenue when the enor
nous waste and drain Of the Liquor
traffic is once stopped.

BESSER LOSES CASE
Will Not Be. Able to Recover For
Use Of Patents.

The Burlington Hawkeye says:
Word was received in the city last
evening. that Judge Martin Wade Of
the federal court, had given decis-
ion in favor of the defendant in the
case of Besser against the Merrilat
Culvert Core Co. of Winfield. The
Merrilat concern is a flourishing in.
stitution of Winfield and was sued by
Besser for $4,000 damages, he claim
ing that they were operating under a
patent, which rightfully belonged to
him and that they had thereby dam
aged him to the amount named. OF
course, the case is or was of consid-
cradle importance TO Winfield, as it
one of her flourishing in
dustries. The plaintiff was repre-
scented by Attorneys Craig of Keokuk
and Warren OF Des Moines. while the
Merrilat company was represented
by Blake &GWilson Of this city. There
lis a possibility that the plaintiff may
appeal to a higher court, but II Is not
deemed likely that this will happen.
