" This afternoon somebody has draped the dispensary door in mourning. A: .. podoslralns p ass by the institution they can see the signs of mourning At ?,;Vi o'clock, when this was written.

' No Demonstral ions, No bells tolled today.- The women of the city, however, are holding a prayer service In tho First Presby terian church. From early morning until sundown today these women will remain -in the church, praying that prohibition may win. Dinner hour was not observed by them, only a few leaving the building at a time end returning for others to go to their homes for refreshment. On the streets everything Is quiet One could not tell an election Is going on. Indeed one must be wlth ing twenty yards of the polling places to realize that the question of dis pensary or prohibition Is being de termlned. No excitement prevails at the polls. SPANISH WAR MONEY READY . 1 Governor Glenn has received the nnv-roll for soldiers of tho. Spanish- American War for service in camp before being mustered out. ine sum amounts to $28,000 and will bo dis tributed to these soldiers when they are properly identified. The sum to be received ranges from $2.63 to $50.00, according to timo of service and rank of men.
