SALOONS CLOSING UP.
Cedar Rapids Dealers Quit as Stocks

Cedar Rapids, Dec. 39.-By quick

There isn't enough liquor left IN
the saloons of Cedar Rapids TO stock

now some Of the largest saloons 1T
the city are almost dry. This is the
case with Pete Ernst, J. S. Osbun, An
drew Hasek, the Montrose bar and Z
number of others
Some Of the saloons closed their
doors Wednesday night. Others will
close tonight But. all Of them will
finally close their doors 9 o'clock Fri
day night and at that time they VII!
be empty. They have no disposition
to contest the ruling of the attorney
general that all the beer and liquor
must be out Of their places before
Jan. /.
The Cedar Rapids saloon men have
come nearer observing the letter and
the spirit of the mulct law than those
Of any other city in the state. This is
my firm belief. And they are going
to obey the new regulations in the
same spirit. There will be no test
cases and no. attempts to keep open
after the time limit has expired. When
the final hour arrives there won't be
anything left for an orgy. The stocks
in all the saloons will have been
drained dry"
