ALL LIQUOR EiLLS Vil FAIL
None of the Railroad Bills That Are
Pending Has Any Chance to Get
Through Mine Measures Are Op
posed by Operators.
Des Moines, March 13 There Is no
possibility of any radical legislation
on any topic from the Thirty-fourth
general assembly of Iowa. The ma
chine Is loaded for extreme conserva
tism. There will probably be no legisla
tion affecting the prohibitory question
or saloons or tho sale of liquor. The
prohibitory amendment will probably
pass the house almost any day, but
tho senate has It on the calendar for
a killing and Judging by the votes
which have already been cast upon
various matters it is destined to fall
thero.
The five-mile limit law which was
Intended to make it impossible to
have saloons anywhere in Iowa City
because of the presence there of the
State university will not get through.
Tho house refused to accept a commit
tee report to kill the bill and Thurs
day will debate it and probably pass
it, but the senate committee has not
acted. So, also, with practically
every other bill affecting temperance.
The senate passed two Important
bills to cut off the attorney fees from
the attorneys of the Antl Saloon
league on account of bringing Injunc
tion cases, but It Is certain the house
will either amend these bills or effect
their entire defeat.
There Is no railroad legislation
pending that has any chance what
ever of getting through. Only minor
matters are Involved In any bills af
fecting the railroads.
Mine Bills to Be Opposed.
Operators of coal mines in the state
ire getting ready to oppose the bills
which have been prepared affecting
coal mining. The operators say that April 1, but unless the sifting commit
the industry is already hampered as tees are soon set to work and get the
much as it will stand and that to do
more means a handicap In the compe-1
titlon with other states. The bill most'
likely to cause a big discussion Is the
one for general revision of the mine ;
laws, which has been prepared undei ,
tho eyes of the national officers of thei r n C T n M DBflKCR RRFiTFn
United Mine Workers and Is Intended j BOS I UN bKUKtK AKH tDICU

The bill for examination of mines hat
already been acted on favorably by tht

War Scare Is Interesting.
The war scare is becoming decidedly
Interesting to Iowa people. There art
four regiments of the national guard
with forty-eight companies, located In j
nbout forty towns. These four regl
inents are In excellent condition, at
phown iy the reports of the Inspectors
who are now at work. In fact tht
guard companies have been Improved
materially under a bill passed at tht
last session until now the companioi
are practically ready for service. Eith
er of the regiments could be put on 8
war basis within a few days.
At the session of the military board
held last week It was felt almost cer
tain that at least one of the regiments
would be called Into action, perhaps
to take tho place of regulars at ar
army post or for reserve duty some
whore. Nearly every guard office!
asked to be on the list forwarded tc
Washington for selection of officert
to go to Texns to witness the "maneu

Overworked.
In our effort to become financially
Independent, we often forget that
there is a definite limit to our
strength and endurance. As soon as
we overstep this limit we find, to our
most unpleasant surprise, that our
strength Is declining, that we over
worked ourselves to the very point of
exhaustion. Speedy help becomes
absolutely necessary. Fortunate, It
is within reach. Rest, fresh a'.r,
good food and Trlner's American
Elixir of Bitter Wine will restore our
heaUh and strength. The remedy
recommended here Is a very good
tonic. It will. In the first place, drive
out all waste matter which ac
cumulated In the body, will purify
the blood and regulate Its circula
tion. The body will again accept food
and digest It, the muscles and the
brain wil lgaln new strength and the
man will return to his work. This
remedy Is good wherever appetite
and strength Is needed. At drug
stores. Jos. Triner, 1333-1339 So.
