Jasper County Democrat, Volume 1, Number 34, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 December 1898 — The House of Commons' Bar. [ARTICLE]

The House of Commons' Bar.

The barkeeper at the House of Commons restaurant has been summoned before a London police magistrate for “illegally supplying intoxicating liquor to the public.” The temperance people are fighting to force the House of Commons either to take out a license for Its beer or to stop the sale of liquor. Following the example of European nations, Japan demanded a war indemnity of about $190,000,000 at the close of her war with China, and a large sum additional In consideration of surrendering claim to the Liaotung peninsula. Japan also secured the cession of the island of Formosa. Why does a man boot a dog, shoo a hen, foot a bill, cap a climax and steal a glance?
