NUMBER OF SALOONS LIMITED Measare Passed Provides One May Operate for Eaeh Thousand Popalatlon Drit Stores Attended To. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, April ll.-fSpec.ian-The state tax levy will not be Increased as tha result of the work of the legislature, which has Just closed, but will remain at 3.4 mills on the dollar for the taxable value of the property of the state. The legislature authorized a raise ' In the amount to be collected by taxation from 12,250,000 a year to $2,300,000 a year, but this slight differ ence will easily be made up by the natural bids having more than one saloon for each 1.000 Inhabitants of a city or town, except that a town less than 1,000 may have one saloon. But It Is also provided that there hall be no arbitrary and Immediate reduc tion In the number of saloons, but when saloons are closed for violation of law they hall not be reopened when this would re sult In Increasing the number beyond one to each 1,000 population. In this way there Is sure to be gradual reduction In the num ber of saloons. In Davenport, for In stance, there la one saloon for each 300 of population. The effect of the law will be to make saloon keepers try harder to avoid a clash with the law In such cities, for If their places are once closed they will ttiave difficulty In getting a start again. This bill, with another which for bids brewer ownership of saloons, It is be lieved will have a wholesome effect on the saloon business of the state. A Carh on the Drnar Stores. Tha legislature near the hour of closing finally passed a bill to put a curb on the whisky drug stores In Iowa, about which there has been more complaint than about the saloons. The bill requires that the permit blanks which are used by druggists to be signed by applicants for liquor, where liquor permits are held, shall be se cured from the county auditor, that these shall be numbered and a record kept of them, so that the county will have a com plete record of the sales of liquor osten sibly for medicinal purposos. It Is known that the present law has been evaded and disregarded by those drug store men who desire to sell liquors, but under the law It will be risky business to Ignore the law. State Wins Big Case. The state of Iowa won a tax case In supreme court today which gives the treas ury $10,000. It involved the estate of the late George Wells In Grundy county, m which two wills were left and no direct heirs. A settlement was effected by which three collateral heirs received 1160,000 to drop a contest, and upon this the county now holds that the state Is entitled to the collateral Inheritance tax on all this payment. The amount Involved Is $10,000, but It also sets a precedent that will be valuable to the state In other cases. Woman Kidnaps Young Daughter, Escapes in Auto Mrs. H. 6.

No extravagant promises are flaunted before the public to arouse false hopes in the afflicted. Your neighbors probably know of some of its many cures; ask them. Tbroa&h strengthening and arousing the stomach, liver and bowels Into vigorous action, digestion Is promoted, whereby the blood Is enriched and purified, dlseascproduclng bay terla destroyed and expelled from the body, and thus a long list of skin, scrofulous and kindred affections are overcome and sound, vigorous health established. The "Discovery" contains no alcohol and no habi't-forming drugs, and has its every ingredient printed on its wrappers. This OPEN PUBLICITY places it in a class distinct from the ordinary secret nostrums with which it has no re lationship! Physicians, therefore, do not hesitate to prescribe it in bad cases of indigestion, torpid liver or biliousness and in skin and blood affections. People of intelligence and keen discernment employ it. The "Discovery" is a pure glyceric extract of native medicinal roots of great curative potency, and can in no case do harm to either child or adult. The aged find it a great invigorator. You can learn more about this time proven and popular "Discovery" from the People's Common Sense Medical Adviser, by Dr. R. V.

During the after noon a banana wagon at Twenty-sixth and Q streets took fire and burned. The wagon was run by an Industrious huckster, who In excitedly telling of the burning of his wagon said: "When next week so better was than the week behind this one for better Is, so I hopo me nothing, what?" The policeman who heard this speech in terpreted It to mean: "If next week is as good as the week before last, I won't care much for tho loss of the wagon." A fire was discovered In a barn at Four teenth and Jefferson streets at 6 p. ni. The barn was ruined, but It was a small affair and the damage was light.
