CANNOT AGREE AND THERE
WILL HE NO INAUGURATION.
Special to the World.
SPRINGFIELD, hi., Jan. B.—The
legislature is in deadlock on the can
vass of the vote cast for state of
ficers, and there will je no inaugu
ral on Monday next, which is the
date when the new state officers will
be inducted into office under ordinary
conditions.
The senate is in readiness to go
ahead with the inauguration of Gov
ernor Deneen and all the other state
officers, but it has served notice upon
th» Shurtliff organization in the
house that it will not participate in
the joint session to canvass the vote
until it is fully advised as to the
plan of procedure relative to the re
count which the democrats demand
on the governorship.
On the other hand, tie house is in
readiness to hold the joint session
for canvassing the vote, and to this
end sent its joint resolution to the
senate today.
Because of its inability to get an
understandiag from the. Shurtliff or
ganization, the senate referred the
house resolution to a committee, and
adjourned until tomorrow.

There is a great deal of Ice In the
river now and it depends altogether;
on the weather as to when river ser-l
vice is resumed. It may not be unt>l
spring and still a few days of thaw
ing weather would allo'v the ice to

"DAVID AND GO
LIATH" BY SUNDAY
WELL KNOWN EVANGELIST
GIVES HIS VERSION OF THE
FAMOUS CONFLICT — SAYS
DAVE SOAKED GOLIATH ON
THE COCO BETWEEN THE
LAMPS.
Billy Sunday, the old National
Leaguer who has made quite a repu
tation for himself as an evangelist,
has stirred Spokane, and the daily
accounts of his services are read here
with a great deal of interest. It is
safe to say that no portion of the
Spokane papers are of as much gen
eral interest here as that containing
the Sunday sermons.
At Spokane, Sunday told the story
of David and Goliath according to his
own ideas, and it made a big hit.
Here is the story in Sunday's own
words:
"And so David's pa came up to
him where he was working in the
field and says: 'Dave, better go up
to the house, your ma's anxious
about the other boys fighting in the
army, hasn't heard from them by
phone or anything, and she'd like
you should go look them up.' So
Dave hops on a trolley and hikes
to the front and stays there with his
brothers over night.
"In the morning old Goliath comes
out in front of the Philistines and
dares the Israelites to fight him.
'Who's that big stiff making all the
big talk out there?' asks Dave.
" 'Why, that's the big cheese, the
big noise.' says his brothers.
" 'Why don't some one soak him
one?' asks Dave.
" 'We've all got cold feet,' says the
Israelites.
" 'You fellows make me tired,'
says Dave, and he pikes out to the
brook, gets four pebbles in his shep
herd's sack, slams one at Goliath
and soaks him in the coco between
the lamps. Goliath goes to the mat,
takes the count, and Dave pokes him
in the slats, chops off his block and
the whole Philistine gang skidooed."

PROHIBITION IS
TENNESSEE CRY
LIQUOR QUESTION TO BE CHIEF
ISSUE OF LEGISLATIVE SES
SION IN THAT STATE THIS
YEAR—STATE WTDE BILL IS
WANTED.
Special to the World.
NASHVILLE, Term., Jan. B.—The
Tennessee legislature meets this year
with every indication that the fight
for statewide prohibition will be the
chief issue of the session. Both sides
have lined up for the fray and the
struggle undoubtedly will be a bitter
one.
Though large sections of the state
are now "dry" the prohibition ele
ment declares that it will not rest
until Tennessee has joined the ranks
of Georgia, Mississippi, North Caro
lina and other states in prohibiting
the liquor traffic entirely.
The Pendleton law now on the
statute books gives local option to
cities of less than 100,000 Inhabit
ants. The four-mile law is practi
cally prohibitive in operated terri
tory. The democratic party platform
pledges the party to "take no back
ward steps" in liquor organization,
but to extend and apply those laws
to all portions of the state not now
embraced in their operation when
ever the people of the communities
to be affected thereby give their con
sent.

account in the Columbia Valley
Bank. Any deposit made before

that it is thought that Pugh has been
retaken.
