KANKAKEE TP., GOES DRY.

Dunnvllle Saloon Applicant Defeated By Largo Majority. Rev. J Vandecar M. V. Sands and I. D. Dunn of Kankakee tp., were down Monday to look after the saloon remonstrance from that township, but the case of the applicant Ernest Treichell, was so hopeless that he made no fight on his application. It requires 55 names to defeat license in Kankakee township, and the remonstrators secured 73 names to their blanket remonstrance. Of this number the applicant got 9 names off, to-wit. M. Blaw. Noah Gingrich. Henry Gingrich. Marion Albin, Arinap Bacon. Samuel Payne. Chas. Roberts, W. E. Payne. Harry Mellville Wood. Three of these re-signed leaving a clear majority of 12, which, considering the fact that there are but 109 voters in the township, is considered quite a good showing by the temperance people. The remonstrance is of the blanket provision, and the power of attorney delegated to Martin V. Sands is for a period of two years.
