STATE OUTSIDE OF ST.
LOUIS FOR PROHIBITION

(St. Louis Post ispateh.)
Including returns from st. Louis and
all except IS counties, most Of which
are known to be dry" but which can
not change the result, the total vote in
favor of the prohibition amendemnt
tabulated is 23s,963. and against it
1867 ,066, a majority against prohibi-
ton of 114,S31. In the 1910 election
the majority against prohibition was
21S,125.
The figures show a startling change
in the sentiment toward prohibition
since 1910, when the last statewide
vote was taken. In that election the
State, outside of St. Louis, on the re-
turns in from all except Is counties,
shows a majority for prohibition Of
1878.
Thus in six years the drys out in
the State gained 104,S25.
The prohibition vote is difficult Of
analysis. OF the counties reported So
voted "dry" and 80 voted "wet." OF
the So "dry" counties eight have sa-
looms now, and of the 80 "wet" coun-
ties 20 have no saloons, having voted
them out during the past few years.
Jackson County a Surprise.
BY far the greatest surprise to the
anti-prohibition forces was that Jack
son County, in which is Kansas City,
the second city Of the State, returned
a majority Of 3,716 in favor Of prohi.
bition. On the other hand, buchanan
County, in which is st. Joseph, the
third city in the State, returned a ma
jority Of 2,5s3 against prohibition.
Other surprises included Jasper
County, which includes Joplin and
Carthage; Pettis County. which in
cludes Sedalia; and Randolph Coun-
ty, which includes Moberly. AlIhad
majorities in favor Of prohibition.
The prohibition election does not
indicate that the cities of the State
are in favor Of saloons, or that the
agricultural districts are opposed to
them as a unit. Some of the largest
agricultural counties of the State
voted against prohibition, including
Boone, Galloway, Cooper, Knox, La
fayette, Lincoln, Moniteau, Montgom-
cry, Platte, Rails, Saline and Vernon,
none Of which are controlled by the
vote of their cities. In fact, few of
them contain cities of Importance,
and IN most Of thehi saloons long ago
we're voted out.
No Change in Situation.
1t is to he understood that the cleo
ton last week does not change the
saloon situation in any county. There
are only Is Of the ia counties which
are "all wet" In a few other saloons
are permitted in a few of the larger
towns These counties and towns
VIII remain unchanged in the matter
Of permitting saloons until they vote
ander the State Local Option Law.
either for or against saloons.
The counties from which returns
nave been received are as follows:
In favor of prohibition: Andrew.

MINEOLA SPRINGS, MISSOURI

Twas built in about 1921. Major Van
Bibber was an original and interest
ing character Of his day. His tavern
was much sought after by travellers,
and he was the true host Of his guests.
II is said when they assembled in the
great room after supper, he with the
company would engage In lively dis
cnssiOns on current topics; politics,
the state Of the country, religion,
science. the Indians, the Indian wars
and so on. The following story Is
teld illustrating his bent Of mind and
his great wit. He believed in evolu-
tiOn and not only believed in it, but
preached it. Two travellers spending
the night with him discussed the the
DRY in its fullness. Upon attempt
ing TO depart in the morning, they
appeared 10 be a little short Of
funds. Asking Mayor Van Bibber to
credit them, they said that they
would pay him when they returned
a Thousand years hence. The Major
with quick thought exclaimed, "You
are the same rascals that visited mo
1000 years ago; you did not pay me
then, and you are not going to get
away now"
Washington Irving spent a number
Of days at this inn and it is said that,
placing his paper on the mantlepiece,
and standing before the open fire, he
penned some Of his brightest
thoughts Who knows but that he
received on this very spot additional
suggestions and inspiration for his
stories Of Sleepy Hollow and the long
nap of Rip Van Wrinkle; the place is in
a "hoIlow" and, on ordinary days,
sleepy enough no doubt to fill the
mind of an imaginative writer, be-
sides being the scene Of most stirring
events. Why did not Irving immrotal-
ide Loutre Lick by a story? If he
had held to first intentions he might
have done so for he told Major Van
Bibber that when he got rich he
would buy the place and build him a
home. As he did not buy and build at
Lcutre, but did erect a handsome
cottage at Tarrytown on the Hudson,
it is presumed that ne grew rich and
changed his mind.

SEVER ATHLETIC RELATIONS.

Coach Strock, of the Missouri Mill
try Academy, announced to the stu
dent body this week that athletic re-
%lations with Kemper Military Acade-
my, Boonyille, were severed. This
action wal due to certain conditions
which go back to a misunderstanding
Of last year.
Major Strock states this is his last
year Of coaching. Regardless Of the
misunderstanding between Kemper
and NJ. NJ. A. last year, Major Strock
met the Kemper coach with out
stretched hand in an effort TO show

Mr.. Barlow came to North Dakota
in 1875, making the trip by wagon in
company with the late J. Dnckworth,
who was also well known in this city.
On his arrival near Grand Forks
he purchased his present farm from
one English Jack" Conrad, paying
$500 for the land and buildings. The
