An Important Circular From the Land Commissioner. WASIIISOTOX, Sept. 9.—Land Commis- sioner Groff has issued to the rei/Mei- and receivers of the land offices a circular re- leasing from reservation the lands 01 the arid region. It calls attention to tnnl por- tion of the act approved Aug. iSOrt v/hich repeals so much of the act of Oct. 2. us withdrew lands in the arid legions in the United States from entry, occupation and settlement, with the exception that the reservoir sites heretofore lucattd or selected shall remain segregated and reserved from entry or settlement until otherwise provided by law, and reservoir sites hererfter located or se- lected on public lands shall In like manner bo reserved from the date of loca- tion or selection. The circulars of Aug. 5. 1S89, and Aug. !) lt> ( J0. are rescinded. The entries validated by this act will be acted upon in regular order and all patents issued on entries made subse- quent to this act nnd on cutries so validated west of the 100th meridian will contain a clause reserving the right-ol'-way for ditches and canals constructed by amhuriiy of the United States. Particular attention is called to that portion of tho law which restricts the acquirement of title under the. land laws to 320 acres in aggregate. Tho circular says: "You will require from all applicants who file to enter under any of the land laws of the United States affidavit* showing that .since Aug, 3,1890, they had not filed upon or entered under the arid laws, }i quant ity of laud winch would make the tracts applied for more than 820 acres. Or, provided a party should claim, by virtue of exception as to settler prior to the act of Aug. JJO. I8t<0, you will require an affidavit establishing that' fact."

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 9.—The Minneapolis , millers held u meeting to consider tho mat- ter of wheat grading. There are loud com- plaints that the state hus let down 011 tho quality of wheat that is allowed to go into 4ho three upper crudes. This, some of tho millers claimed, is carried so far as to make it unsafe to buy for their mills in any other way than by Maniple. A proposition for the < millers to unite m a refusal to buy No. 1 northern wheat by grade was discussed. There was nearly tin equal division v of sentiment us to whether or not the adoption of an agreement not to buy any by grado would he the best way out of the situation. Those opposed to the agreement insisted that it would he their policy to buy in whatever way they thought would be to their individual ad- vuntage. They claimed that the proper way to remedy the evil would be for the elevator people to refuse to take into their bouse*) unsound wheat ia the upper grades when such are sent to thorn . and to call for 11 reinspectlon.

PKOI?AI;LV Ihe largest, blast ever put off in tho Black .Uills was recently dis- chargcd on the JJuriington A: Missouri grad'-' near the northern limit of Custer City by Contractors Cable & Chute. Fifty-live kegs of black powder and 150 pounds of giant, powder were n.-cd, pro- ducing an explosion which fairly made the mountains tremble, aud displaced many thousand tons of rock. The resi- dence of Peter M'-Kinney. located near by, was literally buried tinder the debris, and would have been utterly demolished had he not taken tin; precaution to pro- tect it with heavy limbers. Mrs. Jane J. lfavback, of Custer City, had long been ittllicied with brouehocelo, a tumor on the fore part of tho neck, causing spasms of the glottis, which lately had become more frequent and se- vere, producing intense suffocation which was liable to cause her death at any time. As a last resort the tumor was removed by the physicians, and the success of tho operation, in a surgical view, Is amply atrested by the fact of tho patient having sustained a loss of less than one pint of blood; but, as feared by the operating surgeons, tho shock was too great for the patient to bear. The deceased rallied after the operation had been performed, but very soon suc- cumbed to a spasm coming on just before the completion of tho operation, passing away in less than four hours afterward. LAVEXDEU & SPAXNAOEI., of Scotland, have submitted to their creditors a proposition by which, if accepted, they hope to pay 30 cents on the dollar on all claims except that, of T. O.

They pro- pose that a man, mutually agreed upon, be put in charge of the store aud sell tho stock in the regular course of trade, col leet the accounts due the firm, and the amount received above the claim of T. O. llogert to be divided pro rata among the creditors, they to accept the same in full payment of their claims. Tito ap- praised value of the stock is $20,550.01, accounts and notes ?4,005.55, and if put up at forced sale wouid not more than satisfy the execution. The liabilities of the linn are SG1.000. The farmers around Scotland hold notes of tho lirm to the amount of nearly §D,000 for eattlo sold them and money loaned. Tho bal- ance of their'liabilities are with eastern wholesale houses.

Capt. Morris charged his men with coward- ice and again ordered them to take White, but they still refused. Morris passionately said he would go alone and face tho muti- neer. He was as good as his word, but White said he would uever give in subject to the jurisdiction of the sergeant mayor of the regiment. Capt.

Fiuallv Sergeant "White was killed by a bullet from the rifle -»f Sergeant Major llodgkinson. the man on whose ac- count the whole trouble originated. The sergeant fallen, no further resistance was made. A onurl martial was held to lu- uuire into the conduct of the .sympathizers with White, hut lis result, has not trans- pired. White had claimed that he.iijiad been overworked and could get no redress, it was useless for him lo appeal to his cap- in In. as he had to do so in the presence of his superiors, and his eJVorts to obtalu re- dress had always proved fruitless. The cowardice and insubordination made manifest by the evidence is appalling and makes the conduct of other olVenders against military discipline seem mild. THE WORLD'S FAIR SITE.

P.—The world's fair head- quarter- pie^ented an animated appearance yesterday. Much talk was iudulged in ibowt tho meeting of the directors to-day, utt no informal ion was allowed to escape. Vice-JVo.Mdcnt Bryan detailed the probiibie ticthod of procedure in the matterof halloi- ng for the site: 4, I should advise that her three or five luformul ballots be taken fore a formal vote is announced. There will be three sites—the Dual or .•riginal, the North side and Garfield park. The last informal ballot will result in some Ite receiving the lowest number of votes. Let this site be dropped from the race and proceed with flvo additional informal bal- lots. In turn the next site receiving the lowest number of votes can be dropped and i regular and linal ballot can betaken upon the one remaining. I suppose printed slips bearing the names of the sites will bo fur uished. but so far tho arrangements havo not been completed."

Throo Cars in tho Overland Flyer Aro Turned 011 Their Sides. Oar-Ex, Vtuh, Sept. 0.—There was a de- railment on the Union Pacific, thirty miles east of Ogden. Two coaches and ft chair car of the Overland flyer went on their sides 011 a bank about five feet high. Only one passenger, a lady, was severely butnot dan- gerously bruised. The coaches were not. brokeu up and the track was not torn up liiiieh. A broken rail or fall of a break bar, ii is nut known which, caused the wreck. chants, and tho clothing anil provision interests, as well us farmers, wonld havo been advanced to that extent, less tho very small amount of grain which might havo been rotted for tho purpose of furnishing drink for theso men. Third question: "Do yon consider Pro- hibition an injury or help to businoss in cities where the samo has boon tried?" Yes, a help in proportion as tho law lias been enforced. Atlanta, Ga., is a good illustration of this when they enjoyed Prohibition tliero. Fourth question: "If you wero pur- chasing bond securities, would tlio fact that the State in which these municipal boiids were Issued was under prohibitory policy in relation to liquor, have a ten- dency to depreciate tho value of such municipal paper?" No; other things being equal wo should consider the fact I of prohibition an advantage rather than 1 a disadvantage. You say an Omaha i paper has used tho namo of our firm in ; connection with our refusal to tako cer- | tain securities In Nebraska on account I of prospective prohibition. This is tho first intimation I have had of any such use of our name, and it is certainly as far from the truth as possible. We pur- chased some bonds of your city a while ago, and tliero was some delay in our taking them up oil account of some legal difficulties. As soon as your city offl- cials were able to correct those points wo took up the bonds. I certainly hope the prohibition amendment will pass, not only for the interest of your state, both mqrally and financially, but of the entire country, Ti.e strongest enemy that this country has lo contend with to-day is the liquor traffic.

[T.etttr from Clijcajo.] The Farmers' Mutual lienctit Associa- tion of Illinois is advocating a reform in the disposal of money paid for saloon j licenses which, if adopted, would prove a great crippler to the saloon power in State and municipal politics. It is ela'med by this organization, which has so recently grown to be one of the powerful factors in Illinois politics, that all moneys paid for saloon licenses should be paid into the county treas- uries. They say that the counties have to bear the expense of supporting tho paupers and pay all expenses Incident to the keeping and prosecution of criminals, and for the existence of both the pau- pers and criminals this organization justly holds the saloons primarily re- sponsible. Under existing laws these moneys go toward defraying the expenses of city and town governments, building side- walks, water-works, lighting streets, etc. The farmers who receive no bene- fit from such improvements are being- taxed to support pauperism and crime. The saloons of Illinois pay les; county taxes than any other busines? of equal magnitude in the State, very few of them paying as much as 5 2 a year to tlie ex- penses Incident to tho pnuUhment of criminals, etc. At the side of wrongs so apparent the tariff issue as a dominat- ing issue of tinancial interest to the tanner dwindles into insignificance. It ! is very easy to see that if the money paid for ilie privilege of dispensing drinks to the people was lo be paid into the connty trea.v.iry the Uwns and villages would not be so willing to grant the saloons the privilege ol existence, within their limits, but would use the local-option law and j "prohibit" the expensive nuisance. It is among tho farmers of Illinois that the i'rohibitionisis are making their greatest gains and causing consternation in tlie ranks of the old parties. .Mr. Link, the Prohibition candidate for Slate Treasurer, is one of the prominent mem- bers in the I-' j\1 . 11. A., and was one of its organizers, and it is eonlldeiitly ex- pected that, he will poll a large vote among tlio farmers, especially as Fran?. Amborg, the Republican nominee, is a saloon sympathizer from Chicago, and will be supported by the saloon elements of the State. The Chicago Attorney's Shrewdness Saves Him From the Agj'lmn.

A Prominent Chicago I>an?cer Oivo* ills Opinion to Nebraska People. A. 0. Wor.FUXBAitCiEK—Dear Sir: 1 luive your cstoomecl favor of the (ith inst. asking several quonious in regard to ;>i'o- hihitiou. In answer to your llrst question: "What Is your opinion, basoil upon the cxperi- j once and observation as a business man. ' as to tlio iiitlueiiec of prohibition upon general business?" I am now ami al- ways havo been of the opinion that the influence of prohibition upon businoss is good. I do not see how it could be other- wise. Business based upon tlie liquor traffic, especially as now conducted, in my judgment, is immoral and dangerous, and will in tlio end honeycomb the moral foundations of business in this country if permitted to continue. Jiusine.-s not founded upon moral principles must fall of Its own weight in duo course. Second question: l: Do you believe that prohibition of the liquor traffic will re- sult in the decreasing of real es.tate val- ues, stopping immigration and decreas- ing the deposits in banks?" Xo, it will increase the value of real estate, in the long ni.,. There are even many drink- ing people who prefer a prohibition State because of the better suironiul- ings, and hence, tho safety of their families. Only those who are determin- ed to carry on the liquor traliic, and tb.-; saloou, would leave p. prohibition State or keep away from it; but this number Is comparatively small a.:d tlieir places would be more than tilled with a more desirable class of citizens. If the whisky traffic was out of the way, tho same property, money and energy would all be used in other businesses (uul a larger Dumber of men would lie employed, wlilcU would increase rather than do- crease values. Men who v.-aste their money hi drink, do not, as it rule, have money to deposit in banks. It is true that the brewer and suloonkeeper would have money, but these same men en- gaged In other business would also have money which tl.oy could deposit in the bank. I give the following inci- dent by way of illustration: Some time ago a certain manufacturer iu the East paid his men $1,000 on Saturday night, but before parting with the money marked it, in order to ascertain where it would bring up. On the following Tues- day it was found that SG00 out of tho $1,000 had found its way into the banks through the saloonkeepers and brewers. If these men had spent tliat money in buying clothing and provisions for their families, it would have gono into the banks all the same, through the mer- VreKcrlpticm Clerics' Dilflcultlt-g. Oiio of ihe most experienced pre s«i;-,tion elerks in New York recently said to a Star reporter: "Pcoplo wlio eome into a drug store to linve prescriptions compounded never dream of the difficulties we have to contend with. I am willing at auy time to roalto affidavit of the fact that I l«ave saved at lea-jt twenty people from instant deaili. When a physician is awakened in the dead of night he is liable to make a mistake, not in diag nosing tho case, but by a slip of the i pen making out prescriptions and call in^ for drams when be intended ounces I Xo later tliau last week a man rushed into tlm store with a prescription, I plainly w.itten out, that is never used except i.i very rare eases. I questioned liim, and, on finding the nature of the patient's ailment, I ttusw that a mis take had been made, so I sent it back to tho physician with a polite note, Well. Mr, instead of thanking me he told the man I ought to have had sense enough to know what lie wanted, drug clerk is supposed to know only what's before him, and follow it. Had I observed the rule on that occasion, tho patient, after receiving the dose, would have died inside of an hour, "Sometimes, however," ho added, "we meet with physicians who admit their error. The night before last, for example, I received a prescription al most similar, and when I font it back to the physician who made it out, he at once hurried to the store, thanked me for holclicg the prescription, and begged of me never to speak to any one of tho mistake. Ho was an excep (ion, however, aa tho majority grow in- dignant and abuse you instead. Tho public have no idea what we have to go through with, nor the blurred and bndly formed writing we havo to make out." T. MoGIUiYOTODT, President. $50,000.00. RAPID CITY, - SOUTH DAKOTA.^!' fV. T.

One of the women talked move and laughed louder than anyone eUt*. fcho vim LllUe Young, a chorus girl, who joined the compuny two week?* ago. Sho N years old and has been married. She sat between two minor actors of the company and the three were evidently on the verge of com­plete Intoxication. The girl 's hat was cocked on the side and the rakish turn to the white feathers in it enhanced the reck­less expression of her face. On her right sat Jacob Same, a professional plant, a pos­ition he holds easily against all comers, be-cause he is sevcu feel fi\e Inches tali on her left sat George Bruning.

The drunken party laughed, aud turned to watch the girl struggling in the wake of the steamer. They regarded it ?JS a huge joke, and when another passenger expressed concern the giant rem^rk^d: ••Oh, never mind Lillie; sh"'li come out all right." The alarm wa? given, and th°boat was brought to as soon as posribl**. But the girl was uow nearly a quarter of a. mile astern. She was able to swim a litflc and was sustained somewhat byh»H- >kirts.

It calls attention to tnnl por­tion of the act approved Aug. iSOrt v/hich repeals so much of the act of Oct. 2. us withdrew lands in the arid legions in the United States from entry, occupation and settlement, with the exception that the reservoir sites heretofore lucattd or selected shall remain segregated and reserved from entry or settlement until otherwise provided by law, and reservoir sites hererfter located or se­lected on public lands shall In like manner bo reserved from the date of loca­tion or selection. The circulars of Aug. 5. 1S89, and Aug. !) lt> (J0. are rescinded. The entries validated by this act will be acted upon in regular order and all patents issued on entries made subse­quent to this act nnd on cutries so validated west of the 100th meridian will contain a clause reserving the right-ol'-way for ditches and canals constructed by amhuriiy of the United States. Particular attention is called to that portion of tho law which restricts the acquirement of title under the. land laws to 320 acres in aggregate. Tho circular says:

"You will require from all applicants who file to enter under any of the land laws of the United States affidavit* showing that .since Aug, 3,1890, they had not filed upon or entered under the arid laws, }i quant ity of laud winch would make the tracts applied for more than 820 acres. Or, provided a party should claim, by virtue of exception as to settler prior to the act of Aug. JJO. I8t<0, you will require an affidavit establishing that' fact."

. Minneapolis Millers Undetermined What Coni'so to I'urjiuo.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 9.—The Minneapolis , millers held u meeting to consider tho mat­

ter of wheat grading. There are loud com­plaints that the state hus let down 011 tho quality of wheat that is allowed to go into 4ho three upper crudes. This, some of tho millers claimed, is carried so far as to make it unsafe to buy for their mills in any other way than by Maniple. A proposition for the

< millers to unite m a refusal to buy No. 1 northern wheat by grade was discussed. There was nearly tin equal division

v of sentiment us to whether or not the adoption of an agreement not to buy any by grado would he the best way out of the situation. Those opposed to the agreement insisted that it would he their policy to buy in whatever way they thought would be to their individual ad-vuntage. They claimed that the proper way to remedy the evil would be for the elevator people to refuse to take into their bouse*) unsound wheat ia the upper grades when such are sent to thorn . and to call for

PKOI?AI;LV Ihe largest, blast ever put off in tho Black .Uills was recently dis-chargcd on the JJuriington A: Missouri grad'- ' near the northern limit of Custer City by Contractors Cable & Chute. Fifty-live kegs of black powder and 150 pounds of giant, powder were n.-cd, pro­ducing an explosion which fairly made the mountains tremble, aud displaced many thousand tons of rock. The resi­dence of Peter M'-Kinney. located near by, was literally buried tinder the debris, and would have been utterly demolished had he not taken tin; precaution to pro­tect it with heavy limbers.

Mrs. Jane J. lfavback, of Custer City, had long been ittllicied with brouehocelo, a tumor on the fore part of tho neck, causing spasms of the glottis, which lately had become more frequent and se­vere, producing intense suffocation which was liable to cause her death at any time. As a last resort the tumor was removed by the physicians, and the success of tho operation, in a surgical view, Is amply atrested by the fact of tho patient having sustained a loss of less than one pint of blood; but, as feared by the operating surgeons, tho shock was too great for the patient to bear. The deceased rallied after the operation had been performed, but very soon suc­cumbed to a spasm coming on just before the completion of tho operation, passing away in less than four hours afterward.

LAVEXDEU & SPAXNAOEI., of Scotland, have submitted to their creditors a proposition by which, if accepted, they hope to pay 30 cents on the dollar on all claims except that, of T. O.

They pro­pose that a man, mutually agreed upon, be put in charge of the store aud sell tho stock in the regular course of trade, col leet the accounts due the firm, and the amount received above the claim of T. O. llogert to be divided pro rata among the creditors, they to accept the same in full payment of their claims. Tito ap­praised value of the stock is $20,550.01, accounts and notes ?4,005.55, and if put up at forced sale wouid not more than satisfy the execution. The liabilities of the linn are SG1.000. The farmers around Scotland hold notes of tho lirm to the amount of nearly §D,000 for eattlo sold them and money loaned. Tho bal­ance of their'liabilities are with eastern wholesale houses.

Mutiny in an English Regiment—Covr-•^ardly, Demoralized Soldiers*

HALIFAX, N. S., Sept. 0.—Tho sensation of tho hour in military circles hero-is tho disclosure of tho details of the recent mu­tiny In the first, bu tall ton of tlio West, India regiment nt Jamaica by which Scrgt. Whito lost his llfo and a deplorable exhibition of want of discipline and demoralization was made manifest in tho regiment. Tho mili­tary authorities made great efforts to hush up tho affair at the time, and the official story Issued by them was that Scrgt. White became temporarily Insane and while at­tempting to eft 'wt his capture he had been killed.

The civil authorities endeavored to have an investigation, but wero told that they had no right to inquire Into military dis­cipline. Tho coroner, however, insisted, aud Sergeant "White's body was exhumed and an Inquest held. Tho facts brought out show that Sorgeaut Whito, with a guard ofleniuen, had charge of tho fort callcd tho Apostles' battery. lie had, it was com­plained. Insulted tho sergeant-major, and beii g charged with Insubordination had re­fused to submit. Capt. Morris, In whoso company White was sergeant, with an es­cort preceded to iho fort to capture him, but they refused to make the arrest on tho ground that they were afraid Whito would shoot thorn. lie was armed with a Winchester rifle and llfty-slx rounds of ammunition. Capt. Morris charged his men with coward­ice and again ordered them to take White, but they still refused. Morris passionately said he would go alone and face tho muti­neer. He was as good as his word, but White said he would uever give in subject to the jurisdiction of the sergeant mayor of the regiment.

Capt. Morris then obtained another de­tachment of armed men, who luid seige to the fort. At dusk a miniature battle en­sued, which lasted half an hour. White showing rigorous fight. A large number bullets were exchanged on both sides. White apparently receiving vigorous assistance from the men under him in the buttery, who by this time would appeu* to have become open mutineers. The shades of evening and the shelter of the guns of the fort rendered the bullets of the attacking party practically harmless, the besiegers also being well under cover, but Corporal Allen, of the party under Morris, was shot. Fiuallv Sergeant "White was killed by a bullet from the rifle -»f Sergeant Major llodgkinson. the man on whose ac­count the whole trouble originated.

The sergeant fallen, no further resistance was made. A onurl martial was held to lu-uuire into the conduct of the .sympathizers with White, hut lis result, has not trans­pired. White had claimed that he.iijiad been overworked and could get no redress, it was useless for him lo appeal to his cap-in In. as he had to do so in the presence of his superiors, and his eJVorts to obtalu re­dress had always proved fruitless.

The cowardice and insubordination made manifest by the evidence is appalling and makes the conduct of other olVenders against military discipline seem mild.

(Topeka (Kan.) cor. of tho Voice .J The "original-package" houses wore

all closed promptly by order of the Kan­sas City firms which they represented, and for a week we have had comparative quiet. It seems almost like awaking from a dream of pandemonium. Tho people of Kansas have ltad In tho brief •cigu of the "original package" an object

lesson which they will not. soon forgot. The day the Wilson bill passed, your correspondent noticed one package house running full blast with the following placard in the window:

GET Tom UEKP. TO-DAY, FOR TOMORROW YOU CAN'T—TH12 WILSON BILL IIA9 PASSED.

Strange as it may seem to those who suppose that liquor is freely sold at all limes in Topeka, the placard in the win­dow caused a general rush, and two men were kept busy handing out the pack­ages. Old soaks who have been swear­ing that whisky is as easily purchased here as anywhere on earth carried home a supply sufficient to last a whole month.

The package agents did not tarry. Warrants are out for several for selling liquor to Indians—about th^ only re-iriciion they were under, and of course

to feel natural they wore bound to break that.

Third question: "Do yon consider Pro­hibition an injury or help to businoss in cities where the samo has boon tried?" Yes, a help in proportion as tho law lias been enforced. Atlanta, Ga., is a good illustration of this when they enjoyed Prohibition tliero.

Fourth question: "If you wero pur­chasing bond securities, would tlio fact that the State in which these municipal boiids were Issued was under prohibitory policy in relation to liquor, have a ten­dency to depreciate tho value of such municipal paper?" No; other things being equal wo should consider the fact

I of prohibition an advantage rather than 1 a disadvantage. You say an Omaha i paper has used tho namo of our firm in ; connection with our refusal to tako cer-| tain securities In Nebraska on account

I of prospective prohibition. This is tho first intimation I have had of any such use of our name, and it is certainly as far from the truth as possible. We pur­chased some bonds of your city a while ago, and tliero was some delay in our taking them up oil account of some legal difficulties. As soon as your city offl-cials were able to correct those points wo took up the bonds.

I certainly hope the prohibition amendment will pass, not only for the interest of your state, both mqrally and financially, but of the entire country, Ti.e strongest enemy that this country has lo contend with to-day is the liquor traffic.

COLLIER'S VICTORY.

Illinois Farmers CJottin.^ Til 'o:!. [T.etttr from Clijcajo.]

The Farmers' Mutual lienctit Associa­tion of Illinois is advocating a reform in the disposal of money paid for saloon j l icenses which, if adopted, would prove a great crippler to the saloon power in State and municipal politics.

I t is e la 'med by this organizat ion, which has so recent ly grown to be one of the powerful factors in I l l inois pol i t ics , that a l l moneys paid for saloon l icenses should be paid into the county t reas­ur ies . They say that the count ies have to bear the expense of support ing tho paupers and pay al l expenses Incident to the keeping and prosecut ion of cr iminals , and for the exis tence of both the pau­pers and cr iminals this organizat ion just ly holds the saloons pr imari ly re­sponsible .

Under exis t ing laws these moneys go toward defraying the expenses of c i ty and town governments , bui lding s ide­walks , water-works, l ight ing s t reets , e tc . The farmers who receive no bene­fi t f rom such improvements are being-taxed to support pauperism and cr ime. The saloons of I l l inois pay les ; county taxes than any other busines? of equal magni tude in the State , very few of them paying as much as 5 2 a year to t l ie ex­penses Incident to tho pnuUhment of cr iminals , e tc . At the s ide of wrongs so apparent the tar i f f i ssue as a dominat­ing issue of t inancial interest to the tanner dwindles into insignif icance. I t ! is very easy to see that if the money paid for i l ie pr ivi lege of dispensing dr inks to the people was lo be paid into the connty trea.v. i ry the Uwns and vi l lages would not be so wil l ing to grant the saloons the pr ivi lege ol exis tence, within their l imits , but would use the local-opt ion law and j "prohibi t" the expensive nuisance.

I t is among tho farmers of I l l inois that the i ' rohibi t ionis is are making their greatest gains and causing consternat ion in t l ie ranks of the old par t ies . .Mr. Link, the Prohibi t ion candidate for Slate Treasurer , is one of the prominent mem­bers in the I- ' j \1 . 11. A. , and was one of i ts organizers , and i t is eonl ldei i t ly ex­pected that , he wil l pol l a large vote among t l io farmers , especial ly as Fran?. Amborg, the Republ ican nominee, is a saloon sympathizer f rom Chicago, and wil l be supported by the saloon elements of the State .

Because he is your very own brother you ought to be ten-fold more consid­erate of him than of tlie brothers of other girls. 15eeau.se lr; ii your very own brother you ought to study his tastes a'id cater to them; read tho books that he likes and suggest others lo him; study the songs he fancies and be glad to make now ono; known to him. In this way you will make your brother your very own, and to him "sistor" will be the ni03t delight-f.il amorg girls. Are you your broth er'«keeper? Yes, in a way; but you do not keep him by fetters formed of ill-temj er. untidiness and lack of courtesy, but by one made of every foniniuo gra -e and brightened by a sisterly love. That is the keeping that will give you your brothers love, and make you worthy the heart of some other girl's brother too.—Ruth Ash more, in La-ties Home Journal.

PROHIBITION AND BUSINESS. A Prominent Chicago I>an?cer Oivo* ills

Opinion to Nebraska People. A. 0. Wor.FUXBAitCiEK—Dear Sir: 1

luive your cstoomecl favor of the (ith inst. asking several quonious in regard to ;>i 'o-hihitiou.

In answer to your llrst question: "What Is your opinion, basoil upon the cxperi- j once and observation as a business man. ' as to tlio iiitlueiiec of prohibition upon general business?" I am now ami al­ways havo been of the opinion that the influence of prohibition upon businoss is good. I do not see how it could be other­wise. Business based upon tlie liquor traffic, especially as now conducted, in my judgment, is immoral and dangerous, and will in tlio end honeycomb the moral foundations of business in this country if permitted to continue. Jiusine.-s not founded upon moral principles must fall of Its own weight in duo course.

Second question: l :Do you believe that prohibition of the liquor traffic will re­sult in the decreasing of real es.tate val­ues, stopping immigration and decreas­ing the deposits in banks?" Xo, it will increase the value of real estate, in the long ni.,. There are even many drink­ing people who prefer a prohibition State because of the better suironiul-ings, and hence, tho safety of their families. Only those who are determin­ed to carry on the liquor traliic, and tb.-; saloou, would leave p. prohibition State or keep away from it; but this number Is comparatively small a.:d tlieir places would be more than tilled with a more desirable class of citizens. If the whisky traffic was out of the way, tho same property, money and energy would all be used in other businesses (uul a larger Dumber of men would lie employed, wlilcU would increase rather than do-crease values. Men who v.-aste their money hi drink, do not, as it rule, have money to deposit in banks. It is true that the brewer and suloonkeeper would have money, but these same men en­gaged In other business would also have money which tl.oy could deposit in the bank. I give the following inci­dent by way of illustration: Some time ago a certain manufacturer iu the East paid his men $1,000 on Saturday night, but before parting with the money marked it, in order to ascertain where it would bring up. On the following Tues­day it was found that SG00 out of tho $1,000 had found its way into the banks through the saloonkeepers and brewers. If these men had spent tliat money in buying clothing and provisions for their families, it would have gono into the banks all the same, through the mer-

VreKcrlpticm Clerics' Dilflcultlt-g. Oiio of ihe most experienced pre

s«i;-,tion elerks in New York recently said to a Star reporter:

"Pcoplo wlio eome into a drug store to linve prescriptions compounded never dream of the difficulties we have to contend with. I am willing at auy time to roalto affidavit of the fact that I l«ave saved at lea-jt twenty people from instant deaili. When a physician is awakened in the dead of night he is liable to make a mistake, not in diag nosing tho case, but by a slip of the

i pen making out prescriptions and call in^ for drams when be intended ounces

I Xo later tliau last week a man rushed into tlm store with a prescription,

I plainly w.itten out, that is never used except i.i very rare eases. I questioned liim, and, on finding the nature of the patient's ailment, I ttusw that a mis take had been made, so I sent it back to tho physician with a polite note, Well. Mr, instead of thanking me he told the man I ought to have had sense enough to know what lie wanted, drug clerk is supposed to know only what's before him, and follow it. Had I observed the rule on that occasion, tho patient, after receiving the dose, would have died inside of an hour,

"Sometimes, however," ho added, "we meet with physicians who admit their error. The night before last, for example, I received a prescription al most similar, and when I font it back to the physician who made it out, he at once hurried to the store, thanked me for holclicg the prescription, and begged of me never to speak to any one of tho mistake. Ho was an excep (ion, however, aa tho majority grow in­dignant and abuse you instead. Tho public have no idea what we have to go through with, nor the blurred and bndly formed writing we havo to make out."
