William Duquetlc's desire lo monopolize
the hop Industry himself , to the exclusion of
his much better half , got him Into trouble
last evening. 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.

lEard he was very poor. Their experiment
was very satlsfaclory for the time being , or
at least they thoughl so. But Chernlss ,
after exhausting his limited stock of pro-
funlty , went before Justice VIen nnd swore
out a warrant for the arrest of John and
Jan O'Connor and Caleb Blair on the charge

. esterday afternoon. John O'Connor and

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.
