CITIZENS AFTER THE SALOON,
The citizens of East Dubuque are
apparently becoming disguised with
the saloon problem of that city, since
the saloons in Iowa have had to
close their doors. Last week a peti-
ton, to have a local option" cleo

and more than enough signatures
were secured to call the special
election. 49,. .st.% ~.

It is reported that ten East Du-
buque saloon keepers have a contract

have been but few arrests made in
Dubuque on the charge of intoxica'
ton. The city Jail is almost desert

free from the usual dere1icts who
made the saloons their headquarters.
AS far as can be ascertained the
merchants have suffered no notice

the other hand the soft drink par.
