THE " OMAHA BEE" filVU HA.NMMi A
POSE FOR TIIE BENEFIT OF TIIK "CAUSE"
IN NEBRASKA IOT A WORD OF TKUTil
IS THE WHOLE COMPOUND.
Tbe Omaha Bee lias had a corrcspond
ent in Iowa for several weeks whose
business is to tie fume the towns throuyti
which this villianous wretch passes. This
man U paid by the liquor dealers ol
Nebraska to thow tli t prohibition has
been a failure in Iowa, but the statement
made by him are so glaringly false thai
even the friends of his cause will not
believe anything that he may hereafter
write for hi paper. He came to Manning
in a drunken stupor. It i also said tha'
thin high-toned correspondent of the Bee
was accompanied to Manning by a woman
of questionable character and that they
razzled-dazzled to such an extent that
they could find lodgings only in the
basement of a fourth-class tenement
bouse. However this may be, it is certain
thia man has little regard for the truth, as
note the first paragraph of his w:ite up:
This town boasts of a population of
1,200 people something lens than were
numbered within her limits three year
ago. There is a dull and listless aspect
banging over the entire place, wholly
different from the scenes of thrift and
business to be met with everywhere in
towns of similar dimensions in the btate
of Nebraska. Why is this ? One might
ay it is all imagination, if proof to th
contrary were not so plentiful. It is
curious matter of speculation, anyway,
why Iowa towns appear so lean and
cadaverous, and Nebraska's so jolly and
rubicund.
The factjuf the matter is that thre
years ago Manning had a population of
barely 1,000 and today there arc not less
than 1,500 people living within the cor
porate limits and there is not a mure
lively town with a brighter future, in
Nebraska or any state in the union.
That venomous writer continues :
"In .Manning," remarked a well-known
contractor to me last night, "prohibition
has effected every branch of business but
tne liquor traffic, which flourishes just as
rigorously as ever, while every other
trade and profession seems in the last
throes of dissolution. The town as you
can see lor yourself is full of empty
store rooms, ana those that are occupied
arc not ttoing anything iikc tne business
they did before the law came into effect.
I have literally nothing to do but lay
around ana sack .ny thumbs, and watel
wnai little property 1 have to keep it
from melting away. Before the law was
passed the town derived a material bene
fit from the saloons in the way of revenue
amounting 10 anywuere iron 4,000 to
94,500 per annum. What m ikes the
burden doubly hard to bear is the fact
tnat this f 4.000 is n-w made an off of
the taxpayers. Why, I own a buinrss
room, which now stands idle across the
street thre, which was valued at $50;i
only, and yet I am com;elled to pay $2"
in tixes on it every year, almost as much
as it will rent for. What do you think
of that a tax of five p r cent, in a town
like this? Yes, t-ir; 1 tell you we an
uondoor d from some cause or other."
We will d.-poMt -?100 in one of tha
banks in Minnin, payabl to the order
of the Bee whn it proves that there is a
scintilla of truth in the above paragraph;
or we will give them a bill of sild of all
our earthly possessions if it was not
drawn from the imagination of :his un
principled wretch. There is not a con
tractor in Minning who Ins not ben
employed at least fzyen hours every day
during the winter, and all the carpenters
have had more work than they fared to
do during this season. This is also true
of painters and laborer. There is not
an empty store room in town, and only
yesterday a gentleman vainly tried to re
rent a business room to put in a stock of
goods. Besides this, thre is uot a de
sirable, and only one or two undesirable,
dwelling houses for rent. The town is
steadily gaining in population and a
large number of houses will be built in
the early spiin? to supply the demand.
Numerous families who had calculated
to move here last fall went to other towns
to live until houses could be put up for
them. This does not look like ''property
melting away." The town received, one
year, during its 'wild and woolly" days,
a revenue of about $1,290 from the
saloons.
The correspondent then goes on and
tells about visiting a saloon on tbe
THE DAILY
corner of Front and "Woolman streets.
There are no such streets in town. He
had evidently been imbibing too freely
of Omaha razzle-dazzle and his mind
wandering back to the happy times he
experienced in tho debauches in lower
Douglas street, Omaha. Then he visited
Chris Weise's place, he says. We have
lived in Manning seven years and knojv
that no one by that name has eyer resided
here.
And this:
John Alberts, once the leading saloon
keepcer here and a man of considerable
reputed wealth, still continues to run a
lushing ken, notwithstanding the dis
couraging fact that his whole stock, con
sisting of $.00 or $800 worth of whiskies
and wines, was seized by the authorities
about a vear ato and turned into the
gutter. I was in his place last .light and
this morning, too, and both times found
it crowded with beer drinkers and high
five players, who seemed to be doing no
0110 any injury, only enjoying themselves
as the stolid Teuton is wont. Alberts
also bundles whisky, but under the pet
names by which it is known and called
throughout tho town.
The depraved creature undoubtedly
means John Albert, but John never kept
a saloon in Manning At one time he
owned a wholesale house and did
driving Misiness, hut he never had any
liquor seized by the ollicers. Mr. Albert
runs a blacksmith shop where he may be
seen hard at work all the time. Monitor,
Manning, Iowa.
The yield last year of precious metals
in the United States and territories foot
up $114,341,5112 against $104,645,959
Montana furnished $32,370,000 worth;
Colorado aud Nevada about $12,000,000
worth each; New Mexico $3,'209.279;
Arizona $5,123,808. The total exports
of silver last year were $41,542,326
against $43,000,618 in 1887 of which
last $25,793,207 went to Asia via London
and $14,624,431 from San Francisco.
Oveii one-half of the strikes last year
were entered into by coal miners. They
lost $3,273,529 days labor. The iron and
steel workers lost 391,965 days, railway
employees bx,47 days, boot and shoe
makers 226,719 days.
It now begins to look as if the two
Dakotas, Montana and Washington
territories would yet be admitted by the
present congress. New Mexico will be
left in the cold.

HERALD : PLA1TSMOUTI1,
vmiarjr and jVnior.
A lady cites tho following pretty in
cident of tho pleasure her canary
derived from seeing his reflection in u
bit of looking glass:
Some time ago I purchased n canary
nt a bird store. The little creature was
thus accustomed to companionship of
its kind. At my homo it was ulouc.
Tho pretty littlo songster was evi
dently homesick. It would not King,
it would not cat, but just drooped and
pined. I talked to it, chiricd to it,
and tried my best to cheer birdio up in
vain.
I was on tho point of returning tho
canary to the bird stoi-e, when a friend
slid, "Give hini a piece of looking
glass." I did bo. 1 put a piece of
broken mirror as largo as my two
hands outside the bird's cage, and fas
tened it tfere.
Ho hopped down from his iKrch
almost immediately, and going up
close looked in, seeming delighted.
He chiriiedand hopped about, singing
and putting on all the pretty airs he
was master of.
IIo was not homesick at ml after
that. IIo spends much of his time
before tho glass, and when he goes to
tleepnt night ho will cuddle down as
close to the glass as bo can, very
likely thinking ho is getting near to
that prettv bird ho sees in tho mirror.
I often let hint out into tho room
whero lie can have more liberty. If I
put that bit of glass anywhere in the
room he will find it, and spend most
of his lime before it, and ho sings his
sweetest songs to his own beautiful
rcilcction. Youth's Companion.
liobert Iliirton.
One of the most interesting remains
of English literature in tho Seven
teenth century is tho "Auatomv of
Melancholy," written by llobert l.Uir
lon, who was interred in Christ
Church cathedral, Oxford, on tho 27th
of January, 1C39, This )ook was his
sole production, and it passed through
eight editions up to 1670, al ter which
it fell into neglect. In the next cen
tury it was brought into notice by Dr.
Saniiu 1 Johnson s remark that it was
the only book that took him out of bed
two hours sooner than ho wished to
rise. Sterne was largely indebted to
Burton, and many other authors have
l)een poachers on tho sumo preserve.
Tho latest edition of Burton's work
was published in lS-i9 in r.n Svo, with
notes in which the quotations were
traiLshted, explained and referred to
tho respective authors from whom
they vcrc derived. Bin-ton was a
mathematician and a curious calcula
tor of nativities, lie died at very near
iho tiir o which ho had some vcais be
fore foretold from the calculation of
his own nativity, and which being
exact, several of the university stu
dents . whispered among themselves
that, rather than that there should be
a mistako in tho calculation, he sent
up hi3 soul to heaven through a slip
about uis neclr. l'hilauelpliia iimc?
Du 3Inuricr.
In appearance 31. du 3Iauricr, the
artist of London Punch; bears a strik
ing resemblance to Alma' Tadema.
This likeness has given rise to many
amusing complications. Some time
ago at a dinner party he happened to
sit next to a daughter of his host. "I
cannot understand," remarked the
young lady, "how people can be t.x.
absurd as to mistake you for 31:.
Tadema. To mo tho likeness is ver
slight." A little later she said: "O.l
I bought j'our photograph the othei
day. Would you mind or puttin?
your autograph to it?" Mr. L
Maurier expressed his willingness am1
'aler on in the evening the young lad;,
conduced him to a writing table am
handed him tho photograph for hi
ig-nature. 31. du M:uu ier looked :
.t, siTlud, and then laid it very gen;.
mi the. table. "That," he said, "i? xi
Alma Tadema's portrait." CliL-.:,
