discovery of the fire and the efficient
work of those present, the house

East Dubuque liquor dealers are
not going to be found mapping in case
the ROot-Guthrie opinion holds good
Proprietors are busy renewing leases
on their liquor stores at that place
While the signing of the lease does
not necessarily mean that the oc-
cupants will continue business it
looks rather favorable to the enc
beer, no work" advocates. The general
belief in East Dubuque is that the
breweries will win their fight and that
two and three-fourths per cent beer
will still be made after July 1. The
dealers in the beverage are at least
optimistic and property owners are
kept busy signing leases assuring
business for another year.

bluffs near his place last week. One

per head. The accident caused con-
siderable excitement in the neighbor-
hood and friends of Mr. Evans turned
in and helped him rescue the stock

was very difficult to extricate them
The one that was so badly hurt was
raised to the top of the bluff on a
gate, as it could not stand on its
feet.

Modern Greek LANGUAGE.

The language spoken by the edu-
Gated classes, that used in the news
papers and other modern literature of
Greece, differs from the Romaic used
by the lower classes. The former is
distinguished by a greater resemblance
to the Greek of antiquity, which rem
ders it easy for anyone who has sat-
isfactory acquaintance with ancient
Greek to read the literary Greek Of the
present day.
