Saloonkeepers Aid East Alton Church With Sidewalk Gift
In East Alton on August 12, saloonkeepers who contributed a $100 sidewalk to the local Methodist Church are also raising a $100 fund to aid wives and families of drunkards. The gift, given after the church opposed saloons in a recent local option vote, was seen as recognition of the church’s stance. The plan to return the money or tear up the sidewalk was rejected as wasteful. Also noted is the Itasca arriving at Corunna, Spain, as part of the Spanish American War era.
