BUYS LIQUOR IN
CLEANUP PROCESS
FINDS SOME FRENCH ABsiNTHE.
NOW so MUCH SOUGHT
AFTER.

Dubuque, March 2. A Dubuque
man who knows something more than
a little about liquor is telling how he
made a good purchase a few days be-
fore the saloons Of Dubuque were clos
ed. One night he happened in at a
saloon where the cleanup process had
started. The proprietor and bartend.
ers were engaged In hauling old bot.
ties from the shelves Of q cupboard
and selling them for almost any price.
Three dust covered bottles were
brought out. It was thought they con-
tanned some out of date cordial but
they were SO covered with dust that
the printing on the sides could not be
read. The proprietor told him to take
the three for so cents. The bottles,
full quarts, contained absinthe, the
French liquor now so much sought
after because it is no longer manufac-
tured, the French government having
enacted a strict law against it's manu-.
facture.
The purchaser claims to have been
offered $50 for a single one Of the
bottles, though it originally was worth
less than S.. He has not sold and says
he will not sell until he can realize at
least 800 a bottle.

"The Birth of Nation had JUST

The fiery steeds were only broom

The act was one of the best de-

the usual barrel races up Clinton

sorority house porches, and stunts Of
a similar nature.

that Uncle Sam is safety crank,
but the scope and variety Of the ex-
position was surprise to all but the
closest followers of the movement.

caught on fire, they ran ashore, they
got jammed in the ice, they collided

by wireless. In twenty-five, cases the
wireless call brought such prompt

On the lakes the wireless comes in

which amount to 500 a month. l
understand that he received the ap-

called attention to the fact that dur
ing the present administration the
custom Of publishing in the newspa-

each dairy had been discontinued, and
that milk Is allowed to be sold as "A
grade" although it does not meet the
state tests for this grade.
DR.. Thompson, after severely cr1ti.
cising Mayor Thompson for this ap-
pointment, declared that not all the
milk sold in Waterloo was OF inferior
quality because some dairymen were
honest enough to place only their best
milk on the market. He further stat
ed that in his work he had failed to
get the cooperation OF the present city
administration and urged the many
women present to aid in bringing
about change at the approaching
