About S o'clock a young lady , very much excited , ran Into II , A. IJalrd's store and asked that four policemen be sum moned to the Brown building at. once. There U4s no policeman thcie , but any number of young men at once moved down In thai direction , anxious to quell a possible riot. The desperado turned out to be a little sawed- off man name.l William Duquette , who has boon In Jail repeatedly on accounl of his penchant for beating his wife. Thcro was a dance In the Royal Arcanum hall and Mr ? . Duquette and her daughter had announced their Intention of attending. Du- quelle , according to hk wife's story , had laid around home all day drinking beer and whlJky and letting his wife support the family by dtessnuklng. By night l.c wcs well organized , as usual , and was determined thai his wife should not go lo 111 ? dance. Ho followed her down to the building , and when he found her at the door caughl her by Ihe hand and tried to pull her out. This outraged her sense of propriety and she sent her daughter to call the police. When the cro d gathered Duquette tried to get his wife to go home , but she eatd she would not , because she was afraid of him. Ho finally left , but a few minutes' too late , for Officer Murphy had heard of Iho dls- lurbance and came down from Ihe station just In lime to catch him and drag him back to jail. About a year and a half ago Duquette whipped lib wife during one of his drunken tantrums and then disappeared from town. He did not return for six weeks , and by lhal time his \\lfc had forgiven him , so that the case was nol prosecuted. For StmtliiK n Peddler. L.

JEFFERSON , la. , Dec. 12. ( Social , ) A Jefferson local paper will print this afternoon two columns of lnt rvlens with btirtrtcss and professional men and farmers of Greene county relallve to their opinions concerning ths desirability of rcjubmltyng Ihe pro hlbltory amendment. Out of sixty prominent citizens Interviewed more than half are op posed to resubml ? Ion. The majority of these assert thai formerly they were In favor of the measure , bul are < | omlng to look upon rerubmUtlon as only anolher scheme to drag the liquor question Into politics. Others re gard the mulct law as much more effective than the prohibition law that VM\S > In force for ten years. Ex-Senator J. J. RusPell. one of the keenest lawyers In Iowa , Is emphati cally opposed to rcsubmlsslon on the ground thai there Is no occasion for It. Ho says It was never the Intent to Introduce police regulations Into the constitution and thai In Ihe prcsenl Instance It Is no more neces sary than to Introduce police regulations In the constitution for the control ot gambling or houses of prostitution ; that If statutory prohibition will not avail , neither will con- t'tltutlonal prohibition , and Ihc sacrdnci3 of the constitution will be deslroyrd nnd Its force depreciated. Judge Church Inclines to the opinion that the mulct Inw has been remarkably effective during the brief trial given It and thai It might be wise to give It further time. Many object to reeubmlMlon on the ground that It would disturb politics at a presidential election , a condition not desired by the republican party. Wlierclrnvc Mci llled. DES MOINES , Des. 12.
