! SALOONS QUIT QUIETLY.
pcs Moines Liquor Houses Close With
- nut Struoule

-
Des Moines. Feb. 16.-Des Moines
eighty-six saloons expired last night
with hardly a struggle. Yesterday eve-
ming was as quiet as Saturday night
was boisterous. No more DRINKS than
is usual were arrested, and there was
no disorder. One man did get worked
on" in beautiful style, and was attended
to and locked up for intoXlca ton, but
there was nothing approaching the
series of fights and accidents that made
Saturday night memorable.
Drinking at the bars ended at 6
o'clock. From then until 8 o'clock the
saloons were privileged to sell bottled
and case. goods, not to be consumed in
the saloons. There was almost no
drinking on the streets.
The stocks in the various srog shops
had been SO depleted before yesterday
that many of them had closed out and
locked their doors for good long before
official closing time.
The approach of prohibition in Des
Moines brought nothing like the run
on the bars that was experienced Sat
urday night. From 5 to O'clock a
rushing business was done, but it was
remarkably orderly and quiet.
At 5:45 o'clock a flood Of men rushed
into the saloons, feeling it their duty
to the prohibition movement to close
them up with one last drink-then 1t
was over.

UNEXPECTED OPPOSITION TO
TEMPERANCE PLANS APPEAR
IN HOUSE.
VETS BECOME ACTIVE;
EST VOTE IS DELAYED
Opposition of Some Dry Members to
Repeal St Mulet Law Results in
Change Of Plans Of Temperance
LEADERSHIP Fear Entertained, How
ever, For Success Of Amendment.

Des Moines, Feb. 16. Unexpected
opposition of several dry members of
the house to the repeal of the mulct
law bill is causing some concern to dry
leaders, several of whom admitted last
night that it was not altogether inn
probable that the vets might succeed
in mastering enough votes to defeat
this proposition.
The dry forces do not Gear for the
success Of the resolution TO submit the
prohibitory amendment to d vote OF
the people. They claim not less than
seventy five votes in favor OF it. But
many of the members, they say. will
not line up on the dry side of the
mulct law repeal bill.
Vets Become Active.
The vets in the house became &C
tive in their campaign Immediately
after the senate's historic session.
They offered compromise PROPOSE
ton to many naturally dry sympathiz-
ers that they would vote FOR the sub
mission if the drys would vote against
the repeal bill. Yesterday 1t was re-
ported that their quiet work had been
so far successful that they believe they
have from twelve to fifteen OF the drys
lined up to vote against the repeal bill.
AS soon as the most active dry men
realized what vas taking place they
shifted all of their attention to the bill
to repeal the mulct law. They had seen
enough members Of the house by last
night that they were sure that the
situation has not yet gone against
them, tho they believe now that they
| have hardly more than five votes to
spare.
Delay. Test Until Monday.
! When Crozier, OF Marion, did not call
up yesterday his resolution to recall
his repeal bill from the committee on
suppression of temperance it became
likely that nothing is to be done on the
matter until the committee has had
time to report out the Clarkson bill. 1t
came over from the senate yesterday
and was referred to the committee.
1t is being quietly talked among
members of the house That they should
| put off the test on the wet and dry
bills until next Monday, which is
Washington's birthday. The temper
ance leaders wish to add to the SEN
timent connected with passage Of the
measures by having the house take ac-
ton on that day of historic sgnifi-
canoe. The senate passed the bills on
Lincoln's birthday.
To Take Up Senate Bill.
! Representative Roberts announced
yesterday that he would not ask now
that his resolution to submit the pro-
hibitionary amendment be brought Out
by the committee on constitutions
amendments. The bill by Roberts is
an exact duplicate Of the Wilson
Thomas bill passed by the senate. To
avoid extra work. the house will drop
the Roberts bill and take up the senate
bill for passage. When the house has
Epassed it, it will have gone thru the
legislative mill and will be ready for
the signature of the governor.

which makes the reduction all the more
remarkable. The water and gas bill
was $7Sl.60 less.
William Spry, the engineer in charge,
states that these savings were due to
changes that are constantly being made
In the plant and the manner of hand
ling the fuel and heat and water, etc.
Other changes have been made which
will show up to still greater advantage
in the next report, 1t will be recalled
that the efficiency engineers recon-
mended series of changes at the heat
ing plant which they said would save
the state $4,000 each two years in the
coal bill. AS the coal bill is less than
100000 such a saving is absurd. But
practically all the suggestions made In
their report were obtained from the
engineer and merely represented the
improvements that were then under
way and have been made on the initi-
ative of the engineer.
If the heating plant was located on a
railroad siding. so as tn eliminate the
wagon haul for all the coal, the saving
would be still greater and this is one
of the things that is for the future.

HEAVY SNOW AT HAMPTON.
Third Bad Storm Of Month Strikes City
and Vicinity Sunday.

Special to Times Republican.
Hampton. Feb. 16.--The third bad
storm during the first two weeks OF
February struck this vicinity Sunday,
and the already heavy coating of snow
and ice was still further added to. The
precipitation has run the full gamut
from the most approved early spring
cold rain to the driving northwestern
At least two sleet storms have left
distinct layers Of ice interspersed with
snow. A few days ago several warm
days and rain started the water to
running and this too has given much
trouble In backing up into cellars and
places where drainage had not yet
been opened UP. Country roads are
traversed with considerable difficulty.
Altogether the month is making rec
ord for itself.
