and other saloonkeepors, Jealous of his
prosperity, for tho action of tho grand Jury
nnd Hint, through his wife, who Is here, will
closo up n Inrgo number of the saloons lu
tho city. Tlio saloons hnvo not oporntcd
under tho petition of consent provision and
nro not complying with tho mulct law,

of tho gamblers have been driven from tho
city nnd It Is said they will closo tho
saloons. In tho meantime the tcmpernnco
people nro sitting bnck and watching the

Des Moines U having nn unusually hnrd
tlmo with tho thieves and snfc-blowers this
winter. Hardly a night passes without
robbery In somo part ot tho city. A num
ber, of residences hnvo been ransacked, nnd
the other night when two well-known pil
ferers wero caught In u house they were
engaged In robbing it was supposed by
tho police forco that nn end would bo put
to tho reign of robbery. Hut last night n
still bolder depredation was committed nt
tho principal business corner ot tho city,
Fifth and Walnut streets. Tho Bnfo In tho
Jewelry store of Herman Kirch wns robbed
somo time during tho night. Tho safo lock
was opened by tho burglars by drilling n
holo in the sldo of tho safo and running n
small rod In to lift tho lock. They rifled
tho Jewelry boxes, but did not succeed In
getting into tho box containing money.
Tho Jewelry, chiefly precious stones, Is cs
tlmnted to havo been worth about $1,000.
Nothing wns known of the robbery until
this morning when Mr. Kirch camo to bin
Btoro to open up.
Hour of More Sluilllpox,
Smallpox reports continue to como in
to tho olllco of tho Stnto Honrd of Hcr.lth.
This morning now cases wero reported from
Hoono and Webster City, and n case at

Secretary Van Houtcn of tho Agricultural
department Is still planning for the print
ing of tho Year Dtok which was authorized
by tho legislature, nnd which tho farmers
of tho stnto nro very desirous of having
published. Tho exccutlvo council has no
money with which to pay for publication
and tho department does not want to stand
tho expense. Rut Inasmuch ns a part of
what Is going In tho book will bo printed
by thu stnto, nnmoly, tho report of tho
wenther nnd crop service, tho report of tho
stnto veterlnnrlnn, dairy commissioner,
etc., this may bo included direct In tho
book nnd lessen tho expense of tho de
partment. In nddltton to this tho depart
ment Is authorized to securo from tho state
tho supplies needed for Its use, nnd in this
Item mny bo Included tho paper on which
to print tho book. If this Is done tho
expense to tho department will bo com
paratively light and the executtvo com
mittee mny authorize publication.
Still I'IcLIiik rinwu.
Tho latest In connection with tho bien
nial election nmendinent Is that it has
been discovered that tho amendmmcnt has
within Itself somo flaws, In that tho word
ing was changed from ono leglslaturo to
nnother or tho punctuation changed so
ns to render uncertain the meaning. Hccatiso
of this fact It Is now being claimed by
the opponents of the amendment thnt It
stands on exactly tho same footing as
tho prohibitory amendment, which was
declared of no forco nnd effect because
tho leglslaturo changed tho punctuation.
Heretofore tho claim hns been that tho
biennial mnendmcnt Is not carried he
chubo of Irregularities in tho manner of
Its adoption, but it has been admitted that
therfe wns no question ns to Us wording or
meaning. Now the claim Is to bo mado
that Its defects are like thoso of tho pro
hibitory amendment nnd if the supremo
court dares to uphold the present nmend
inent It must also go bnck and review tho
caso of tho prohibitory amendment and
reverso tho former decision of tho supreme
court. Rut tho case Involving tho bien
nial election amendment cannot possibly
reach tho Iowa supremo court beforo two
or three weeks yet nnd then, ns one-half
ot tho Judges aro directly Interested In tho
Issues Involved, they will bo barred from
taking nny notion thereon. Just what tho
court will do Is dally becoming u matter
ot more and moro concern to tho people.

Tho movement among tho women of Iown
