kept by t! D. Munn in the Gee &
Shadford store, which burned.

Night Agent R. H. Lisetor. By this
time very little could be saved except
the safe containing Mr. Munn's books
and papers. The loss on the goods is
13 ,500, partly covered by insurance.

and was partially insured.
S People's Pulpit
m&mmmmzmm
Editor Courier:
I note by the Courier of Thursday
evening of Jan. 7, that the validity of
my acts as notary was attacked in the
trial in progress before Police Judge
Kirby, wherein an attempt is matte to
determine the. sufficiency or insuf
ficiency of the petition to closo the
saloons. There is about, as much
merit, in that objection as there is in
hundreds ol' others made during the
•progress of that "exceedingly har
monious" trial o£ the "State of Iowa
vs. Hallgren" in .police court, where
there is in evidence neither defen
dant nor prosecuting witnesses.
The impression made upon my mind
in reading the objections to the peti
tion is that the attorneys are not
sincere iu their contentions or they
would have long since, advised their
clients to open the -doors of their
saloons for business.
I have been a resident of the United
States twenty-seven years and as a
resident of the state of Iowa am deep
ly interested in all matters of reform
and the proper enforcement of out
laws as every one should be.
I have complied with the provisions
of the statute in obtaining my notarial
commission which was issued and
signed by the governor of the state of
Iowa and secretary of state, have
filed my bond, taken the oath and
my commission is recorded in the
clerk's office. Under our law my acts
are valid and birring until my com
mission expires or is revoked by the
governor or removal from the county.
They cannot be collaterally attacked
and if the brewers and distillers want
to test my authority let them do it in
a direct proceeding and I will pay my
own expense and not ask the state to
try dozens of immaterial issues at the
expense of the tax payers.
I am writing this article not for the
purpose of antagonizing anyone but
simply to let the public know that the
contention of the liqour interests is
absolutely unfounded so far as my
acts as a notary are concerned.

Jack Kane inj.Trouble.
Jack Kane is in trouble and it is
all because he looked upon that liquid
which they declare cannot be sold in
Ottumwa. He got into a fight witli
Creole Hollingsworth and Monday
morning he was toefore Squire Falvey,
where he was boiind over to the grand
jury. His bond was placed at $100
and this he gave. He struck Hollings
worth with a brick ana the blow was
such as to break ithe nose of the youny
man. The cliarg'o against Kane Is as
sault with intent to commit great
bodily injury.
