chell has suffered any setback by the
locking up OF the doors of it's saloons.
On the contrary, every merchant in
Mitchell will say. if he speaks freely
that patronage is better and collec-
lions are better since the saloons
stopped taking away money that
ought to be spent i'll legitimate
stores.
The Republican has never for one
moment taken any stock in the ut
terly silly assertion that the selling
of intoNicants helps business. 1t
stands squarels upon the sound prop
osition that Individual calamity cam
not be multiplied into collective
blessing. If the saloon is good thing
for the business of city or town,
then it would be best of all if every
man in that city or town were to
drink to his capacity in the saloons.
Then we would witness every man
dissipating his income and debauch-
ing his body and mind and rendering
himself less and less able to enga ge
in work and business. Yet, according
to those who say the saloon helps
business, that place would be the
most prosperous spot on the map.
There is no commercial alchemy
by which that which is harmful for
the individual can be developed into
that which is good for the commun-
ity

No Reward For Hosey

There was no reward for Mack
Hosey, one of the victims of the
shooting ARRAY in Mississippi
last week, according to state
ment received by the ENTERPRISE
in which the writer states that
CALVIN Purvis Miss, who has known
Mack Hosey for seven wears says
that there is a mistake about the
report to that effect. Hosey has
resided in Mississippi for seven
wears and was employed for some
time on the Gulf and Ship Island
Railroad. He came to Mississippi
from Florida and is said to have
made many warm friends. Mrs.
Hosev will leave soon for Pensacola
where she will reside.

TWO ARE CHARGED
WITH BARN BURNING

Lenox. Feb. ia sensation has
been created here by the arrest OF
Mrs. A. Louis Page and D. Hewitt, a
young man about Is years Of age, the
former being held on charge Of con-
spiracy to burn property and the lat
ter on a charge Of arson.
One week ago the large barn on the
Page farm, located at the edge OF
town, was destroyed by fire. Mrs.
Page is now accused of having en-
ployed young Hewitt to fire the barn
and 1t is stated that Hewitt confessed
the crime to the state fire marshal,
that Mrs. Page paid him
500 for the act. Another boy Is said
to have stood guard while young Hew.
lit fred the building. The boys were
under suspicion and it is said Hewitt's
companion acted in such a strange
manner as to bring about the revela-
lions which are claimed.

CLAIMS FATHER DID
49, NOT KEEP PROMISE

Sigourney, Feb. 16-The district
court has been engaged in the hearing
of the case of Mary Elizabeth Hart
VS.. Earl l.. Hart for the past three
DAYS. The action involves the title
to a farm near Delta said to be worth
from $4,000 to $4,000. The plaintiff
alleges in her petition that by an oral
contract made with her father, John
Hart. many years ago, her father
agreed to convey the farm to her II
she would remain with him and caro-
for him during the remainder of his
life: that she in every way complied
with her part of the oral contract but
that notwithstanding the oral agree
ment her father a short time before his
death conveyed the farm to the de-
PENDANT. Earl L. Hart, who was an
adopted son. In the deed conveying
the farm to the defendant, the plain
tiff was given the use Of the farm dur
ing her natural life, but with this pro-
vision the plaintiff is not satisfied and
now seeks to enforce her oral con-
tract, and asks the court to decree
that she is the absolute owner OF the
farm. The senior Hart died about
four years ago and at the time Of the
making of the deed to the defendant
was old and infirm both Of body and
mind, and this fact is taken by the
plaintiff as an indication of undue in
fluence exercised by the defendant on
the old man in procuring the deed.
The case is to be argued by the at
torneys and then will likely be taken
under advisement by the court for a
decision to be rendered later during
the term. o.

CENTRAL COLLEGE
WILL MEET PARSONS

Des Moines, Feb. 1.-two basket
ball games are scheduled between
Iowa college teams today, the most
important being battle at tairnelo
between Central and Parsons. The
result will have a bearing on the
Hawkeye conference championship, As
Central SO far has been undefeated by
a conference opponent.
This game comes sooner than orig
inally scheduled as the Pella teams
trip to Fairfield and Mt. Pleasant has
been changed. ~-
The other game is between Corr Ell
and the Nebraska Wesleyan team,
which concludes it's long trip at Mt.
Vernon 1t should be good contest
but will be Of little value except to
afford a comparison of scores between
COe and Cornell.
A third game between Highland
Park and Leander Clark at Toledohas
