ANOTHER STATE ON
THE WATER WAGON
Iowa BaniSheS Booze Beginning
January |, 1916.
Drys in FaWkeye Legislature Hold
Tremendous Majority Over
the Vets.

Iowa is 81 near home, that any un-
usual occurrence there is news in
Grant county. The recent passage
of state wide prohibition by the
legislature will excite much interest
on this side of the river. From a
report of the vote in the Legislature,
we clip the following to show how
the "cat jumps" in the Hawkeye
state:
1.-The mulct law stands repealed !;
state wide prohibition will prevail
January l, 1916. The Thirty sixth
General assembly declared for state
wide prohibition when the house, by
vote of 79 to 20, passed the Clark
son bill for the repeal of the mulct
law. The measure now only awaits
the sigma ture of Governor Clarke.
The long years battle for prohibition
is at an end. The vets fought and
fought hard for two hours. They
tried every ruse to delay action or
send the bill back to the senate for
second hearing. They even Haunted
the drys and tried to confuse chem by
substituting radical dry, amendments.
''The drys were overwhelmingly in
control. They were we'll differed
and we'll counselled. The plan of the
VETS was unfolded to them. Any
change in the Clarkson bill, no matter
how slight, would have sent the
measure back to the senate for a
second vote and the vets were GER
tain then they would obtain control.
! Amendments after amendments were
offered by the vets. There were IL
| in all, which were finally submitted
and 10 roll calls were taken. The
vets lone hope for victory was in
the delay of the measure or catching
the drys mapping. They argued and
debated in favor of their amendments
and then ordered roll call on every
motion. The drys did not falter.
Motion upon motion to lay upon the
table were made and one amendment
was offered which would delay pro-
| hibition until 1917. Representative
Brady, of Dallas, one of the dry lead
ers, brought to the attention of the
rhouse that the passage of the motion
would have the effect of also laying
the Clarkson bill on the table. The
vets, ruse failed and the motion was
lost. Again representative Klinkner,
of Crawford, tried to push the mo-
tion to postpone action until 10
O clock Tuesday. Again the drys held
firm.
"At every roll call the four Ander-
sons beloved forth their cue to the
dry ranks. Their noes to the eleven
amendments sounded like a German
battle cry. The drys were perfectly
organized and controlled every mo-
ton. 4"

GAME BIRDS ARE SCARCE
Few Coveys Remain on Prarles
Where Once There Were
Many Thousands.

Sabetha, Kan.-Thirty years ago the
prairies of Nemaha county were pop
ulated with coveys of quail and focks
Of prairie chickens. Professional hun
ters came from the river cities and
killed them for market.
These destroyers counted it a poor
days work of 200 birds. These were
drawn when killed and shipped daily.
On the city markets the chickens
brought 81 a dozen and the quail 81.
The chickens have been exterminated
from the county and a farmer who
possesses a coVey of quail these days
considers them so valuable as insect
destroyers that he prosecutes hunters
who even scare the birds.
In those days the quail In the month
Of September gathered in droyes and
migrated. They were very tame and
quiet when in numbers They walked
or ran as a rule, so that the weakest
were not lost. Bird lovers in those
days tried to protect the young, but
the professional hunters slaughtered
them even with clubs.

herself into a temper, went to bed,
determined to give her husband a
lesson. When she had been upstairs
about ten minutes she heard a knock,
so, putting her head out of the win
dow, she inquired:

Yes, Kate; come and open the

SECRET UNVEILED BY STORM
Crust of Earth Is Torn Away on San
Nicholas Island Exposing
Ancient Burial Place.

Los Angeles.-To the heavy storms
which swept the channel islands in
June, 1914, science owes the remark
able discoveries now made public by
Doctor Alliot. Terrific gales and
sweeping seas tore away the flimsy
crust which for ages had been gather
ing above the ancient burial ground
at the northern extremity Of San
Nicholas island and more than one
hundred graves were uncovered.
On this island, called the loneliest
spot between the poles, the expedi-
tion from the Southwest museum
spent many weeks. To the head of
the expedition, William Henry Co
lisch, assistant curator Of the mu-
scum, and Mrs. Golisch, is due chief
credit for many of the archaeological
discoveries on which are based the
present deductions which threaten
some long established theories Of ev-
olution.

from manhole to manhole, and the
sewer was 20 feet below the surface
and in quicksand,
1t looked as though the city was in

ceived the idea of getting an alligator,
tying a line to him and letting him
work his way through the sewer Az
first an lS.inch alligator was tried
He went nearly 200 feet and turned
back.
Then a four.foot gator was OBJ
tanned, and he worked his way from
