Blow at Rural Saloons.

Tne Grant county farmers’ institute at its 868sion just adjourned, adopted resolutions providing for the introduc tion of a bill at the next session of the legislature, which; if made a law, would put the saloons at Parr, Fair Oaks, Kniman and in similar communities, out of commission. It asks for an amendment to the statutes that will prevent the sale of intoxicating liquors in all mnn.cipayties except those having established police regulations. The resolution calls for the placing of the name of the vender, and the kind and quantity of the liquor sold in bottle, jug or cask, to be placed on a label to be pasted on tjie outside of Che receptacle in which it is sold, and that all kinds of patent medicines shall bear a label showing the percentage of alcohol contained therein. The resolution was adopted by a unanimous vote of the 300 farmers at tending the institute, and is the cause of much discussion.
