peace.
"Germany's adversaries have eyadeti
former declarations of these pTiyii-
eyes," he charged; "and during the
years of the war the kaiser has been
moved by this single thought: How
can peace be restored to safeguard
Germany after q victorious struggle?

Hampton, July 29.-Hampton had
its first real saloon last week. There
may have been grog shop in this
city away back in the fifties, but no
one has been found who can remember
anything of the sort. Well, the town
had one last week, and it was located
in a nicely furnished car on the
Chicago Great Western tracks near the
depot.
The car was supposed to be part
Of the equipment owned by the carni-
val company which played here al
last week. II had a good length, mod
ern looking bar, where cool beer and
high balls were purchased by the
drink, and in another apartment Of
the same car, evidently arranged for
that purpose, sat couple Of females

Of hand rolled cigarettes.

that cool drink of the right kind

been having lately, was visited by q
large number of local people. II was
not necessary to send to East Dubuque
for a case when you could get fresh

operating the car received about ten
barrels. of beer here last week, and i,
is not known how much liquor they re-
ce!ved or had with them, but they had
plenty.
