The anxiety of the somewhat notorious
Taylor family to air Its dirty linen In the

Mult. The Junllco refused to entertain the
complaint and delivered a warm lecture to
the complainant.
The members of the Council Bluffs Field
club will appear In a new role as public

drank gracefully a fine will be Imposed.
Tl\o \ general feeling seems to bo among ths
Council Bluffs people , who have attended the
cessions of the Iowa legislature during the
last few days , that Senator Pusey's bill , per
mitting the manufacture ot liquor In the
Elate , will become a law. It It passes the
leglulaturo there are no fears entertained that
Governor Drake will vetoIt. . Such a law
would add a vast sum to the productive
wealth of the state , and would Insure a largo
plant In Council Bluffs , both for the manu
facture of beer and high wines.
There arc a number ot people In the city
who feel underr deep obligations to Unclu
Sam for thoughtfully providing the means
ot lessening their living expenses this win
ter. When the work on the government rlp-
rapplng was discontinue ! last fall by the
close of river navigation a largo pile of coal
had been hauled and dumped on the Iowa
bank for the use of the steamboat engaged on
the work. No- guard was placed around the
fuel pile and It has been considered the
legitimate prey of the multitude. An ex-de
tective on Saturday reported the fact that
the sack and basket brigade had been rein
forced by men with teams and that the coal
was being hauled away by the wagon load
and sold on the streets.

TO KEEP TAR ON DRINKERS
Bill Introduced by Senator Perrin Origi
nated in Council Blnffs.
MUST HAVE A LICENSE TO TANK UP
Measure Proiionen In Put the llnlilt-
nnl ConHUtnrrn of Tnnulcfoot on
an Kiiuallly Mllli the Vcii-
v ilorn Thereof.
There are any number of statesmen In
Council Ulufts whoso brows have never
boon crowned with the laurel they have
Justly won. They have even succeeded In
escaping detection of the fact that they ,
are statesmen , although many of thorn bavo
rashly approached to near the point ot dis
covery that their escape was providential.
At every session of the legislature these
statesmen prepare bills and bills which they
send to any members of the house cr senate
they happen to know , or If , owing to the
mutations of politico , a legislature has been
chosen without their approbation and ID
composed of men whom they novcr raw ,
the opportunity to make laws Is not permitted
to pas ? . It In fact tot only Increases t clr s.lf.
Importance , for the stranger will sometimes
bo courteous enough to acknowledge the
receipt of their valuable favora and rarely
foolish enough to Introduce them by
request. The DCS Molnes malls have been
burdened this year with the efforts ot these
ctnbryotlc statesmen more than usual at
the commencement of a session of the
ritato assembly , for the unsettled conditions of
affairs have given new opportunities for
these people to save the country. Not all
of the Important measures that have been
originated In the solitude of back olllccs
and bed roonui have been cast aildo , for
many of them have been carried on the
rolls ot the house until the fatal duy ot
adjournment.
Once In a whllo one of these bills con
tains lots of good horse sense and 'would
make a practical and valuable law. One
was Introduced In the house Saturday by
Mr. Perrin , which Is meant to strengthen the
liquor laws. At the first Hash It seems to
present a rather absurd proposition to bo
embodied Info law , but an Instant's reflec
tion shows It to bo a measure that would
meet with the approbation of the temperance
clement and the hrartlcst approval of the
liquor dealers. The bill makes the drinker
as well as the teller of beer and whisky
piy for his privilege. It provides that oveiy
habitual user ot any kind of Intoxicating
beverages shall bo compelled to go before
the county auditor and procure a license ,
at a cost of $2 annually , and that he shall
carry this license with him whenever he
visits a tuloon or other place for the pur
pose of taking a drink or buying a Jug.
The saloon keeper can bo prosecuted If he
sells to the man without seeing his license ,
and he In turn may have the man arrested
If ho falls to provide himself with the license.
A moment's reflection will show that the
scopeof this law Is very great and an ex
ceedingly profitable plan for raising revenue
wherever there are men who wish to drink.
There are perhaps 2,000 Individuals In Council
Bluffs who would come within the provisions
of the law , and they would annually con
tribute to the city's exchequer 4,000 good ,
honest and much needed dollars. It would
bo a tax easily collected , for every man
would be a spy upon every other man , and
every saloon man would be on the lookout
to > eo that all of his patrons were provided
with the necessary permit to drink or get
drunk. The bill provides that the fees
realized from this form of license shall
go Into the treasury of the community where
the men live to whom the licenses are Issued.
The features that will bo particularly sat
isfactory to the temperance people are ths
deterrent Influences of the law. The Indi
vidual license cannot be pigeon-holed and
hidden , but It must bo shown every tlmo
Intoxicants are purchased. Many men who
drink without timidity will shrink from the
publicity necessary In procuring the license ,
for the auditor's license record must be
open for the Inspection of the public at
all times. Any wife who thinks her hus
band Is using too many cloves for his health
can go to the record and seeIf it will
throw any light upon the mystery. Mothers
can look after their sons In the bamo way ,
and sweethearts can have an effectual check
upon their lovers.
There Is no doubt but that the bill will
become ono of the most popular measures
that will come before the Iowa legislature
this winter , and such a sentiment will grow
up In Its favor that It will be carried
through both houses on the flood tide of
popular feeling and be enacted Into law
with a whoop and a hurrah.
The chief Interest the bill has locally lies
l\j the fact that It originated In the cloiet
ot ono of the Council Bluffs statesmen.

BUREAU OF ANIMAL INDUSTRY ,
WASHINGTON , Oct. 31 , 1895. Hon.
Robert W. Furnas , Secretary State
Beard of Agriculture , Brownvlllo : Dear Sir
Secretary Morton requests me to write to
you and ask you to make a statement for
the Information of this department as to
the result ot your breeding from certain
h&gs that were obtained from Florida. He
desires to know the character of the pro
duce which you have secured whether they
can bo fattened as profitably as the ordi
nary well-bred hogs of your country , and
also whether you have had an opportunity
to test their ability tp resist hog cholera
or other Infectious diseases. The- secretary
desires to bo kindly remembered to you ,
and with best wishes from myself , I nm ,
very respectfully , D. E. SALMON ,
Chief of Bureau.
NEBRASKA STATE BOARD OF AGRI
CULTURE , BROWNVILLE , Neb. , Nov. 5 ,
1895. Dr. D. E. Salmon , Washington , D.
C. : My Dear Sir In reply to yours of Octo
ber 31 , relating to certain swlno breeding
experiments :
For years I have entertained the thought
that largely the Ills with which hogs of this
day are afflicted are attributable to Inju
dicious breeding , and I may , with propriety
acid , careless handling ; that the arbitrarily
breeding to "fancy points" has correspond
ingly bred out the constitution , and thus
the hog becomes a ready subject for many
diseases.
In this connection another thought oc
curred : That If wo could got back as near
the original hog as possible and obtain a
dash of unpampcrcd blood It might be well.
To this end I procured from the everglades
of Florida a pair of pure "razorbacks"
"clmpeelers" "sunflsh" specimens. The
male I first crossed on twoi-Red Duroc sows.
The female product of this cross I again
mixed by using a male Poland China , and
with the sows of this cross I used a large
male Yorkshire.
The results of this experimentation are tome
mo roost gratifying , showing on Ideal hog
for "family meat , " If I may so express ,
and equally so for healthy , rustling charac
teristics , and good bono support.
Near neighbors around me have "swine
dlseaso" "cholera. " There are no Indica
tions of any dlseaso among by crosses ; a
few Instances of dlaeasa amony my "Im
proved breeds , " Poland , Chester Whites ,
Durocs and Yorkshires. They all run pro
miscuously , In the same herd. I aim , how
ever. In the exercise of the truism "an ounce
of prevention is better than a pound of
cure , " to have no- disease among my hogs.
The native Florida hog I find fatar ruotlers ,
excellent feeders , prolific and the sow's the
best of nursing mothers. These character
istics maintain In all the cresses I have
madi ! .
The original Florida hog dees not "put on
fat" excessively as do our Improved stralna ,
nor do they grow si large nor mature so
quickly. The quality of meat , however , is
superb , tickling the appetite of the most
fastidious pork-eating epicures , being char
acterized for rich , nutty flavor , with "streaks
of lean and streaks of fat. " Thla factor of
quality Is peculiarly manifest in all the
crosses I have mado.
After the first croas these hogs fatten as
readily and as cheaply as any other breeds.
Experts , from a market standpoint , would
find them wanting In size of ham , not no-
tlccablo In second and third crossing. Size
of animal In first crosD might be objection
able , yet they1 run up to 200 and 2GO pounds
quickly and cheaply. I marketed a first
cross barrow at 1C months old at 480 pounds
on foot.
I glvo you , briefly , my experience In this
matter , and am free to express myself aa
abundantly gratified from a practical stand
point ; that lo , that It has resulted In obtain
ing a healthy strain of hogs , producing
healthy human food. This , I Infer , Is sub
stantially the Information you wish.
Permit , in this connection , the suggestion
that It more cleanliness Is observed and
care exercised In breeding , less Ills and
losses will attend the swlno Industry of the
country. .
At any time I may bo able to aid In your
work , command me. Yours respectfully ,
ROBERT W. FURNAS.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 19. Disappointment
awaits the people of New Mexico and Ari
zona. They have been knocking for
admission into the sisterhood of
states for many years , but the
dcoreo has gone forth that the ambitions of
the two'territories must bo suppressed and
their prayers left unanswered for another
two years.
They can thank Speaker Reed and bis llt
tlo combine for the dose of disappointment
that has been brewed for their consumption.
The explanation offered that It la deemed of
the highest Importance"to check any furtbcr
growth of the silver strength In the oenata
and that the- best way to do that Is to pre
vent any Increase In the representation from
the mountain region. Therefore the houoa
committee on territories will not report bills
for the admission of the territories named
until too late for action by this congress.

Upon excellent authority It Is elated that the
Department of State recently entered Into
correspondence with the foreign powers ani
that none of them will Interfere.
"Tho plan , as I understand It , contem
plates a naval demonstration against Turkey

CRESTON , la. , Jan. 19. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Judge Townor has decided the case
of the city ot Crcston against the Crcston
Water Works company , which Is ot state Im
portance. The action arose over a contract
made by the city council when the water
plant was first accepted , the council agree
ing to pay $7,800 per year hydrant rontnl.
A now council abrogated this contract ant
refused to pay the water company only sucl
Burn as was realized from the G mill tax nl
lowed by the state law. While there bavo
been other points Involved this Is the prln
clpal ono , and the decision of the court has
been awaited with Intense Interest.
Judge Townor decides against the city In
every point. Ho holds that the water com
pany Is entitled to $7,800 per annum on the
contract , and that It the 5 mill tax Is In
sufficient the balance must be paid out o
the general fund. He- goes farther and says
the city has the1 power to provide for water
supply as current expenses , and that thew
expenses arc not necessarily limited to the
amount provided for In the 5 mill tax for
water purposes.
The case will bo carried to the supreme
court. The city has fought the water com
pany ever since Its Inception , and has spcnl
considerable money In litigation. Judge
Towncr has had the case In his hands al
most a year. Omaha capitalists own the
Creston plant.

lated In the county months ago and the
requisite number of signers were received
to the petitions , and slnco that time thcro
have been three saloons running at Eother-
vlllo and two at Armstrong. The revival

ening , and the latter part cf last month pe
titions were circulated for the purpose of
83curlng the cloning ot the mulct saloons.

SHUTTING OFF ON EXPRESS OTtDBKS
IOTVR Ilnnkers Start n. War on the
TraiiNiiortatlon Companies' Checks.
CEDAR RAPIDS , la. , Jan. 19. ( Special. )
The bankers of Iowa have declared war on
theexpress ; companies In the- matter of cashIng -
Ing express money orders. To get an ex
press money order cashed at a bank means
that the owner will have to suiter a dis
count. Bankers claim that the express com
panies not only do not make proper pro
vision for Kie cashing of the orders they
issue , but by their negbct In this direction
they make a neal sum of money annually , as
long as the banks cash them without a dis
count. Bankers not only lose the exchange
on these * orders , but when they cash them
they are obliged to transport large sums of
currency In order to do the business. For
this transportation the express ? companies
charge full rate. It Is expected that the ex-
prtws companies will retaliate In some way or
other , but the bankers claim they are In the
fight to win. Steps are now being taken to
organize a guaranty company , the members
of which will equally stand losses of cur
rency In transmission , and when the associa
tion Is perfected the transmission of cur
rency will bo by registered letter.

Any honest physician will tsll you that
there Is but ono way to get Increased flesh ,
all the patent edlclnes and cod liver oils
to the contrary'notwithstanding.
Nature has but one way to Increase flesh ,
strength and vigor , mind and body , and that
Is through the stomach by wholesome food ,
well digested. There Is no reason cr com
mon sense In any other method whatever.
People are thin , run down , nervous , pale
and shaky in their nerves simply because
their stomachs are weak.
They may not think they have dyspepsia ,
but the fact remains that they do not eat
enough food , or what they eit is not quickly
and properly digested , as It should be.
Dr. Harlandson says the reason is because
the stomach lacks certain digestive acids
and peptones and deficient secretion of gas
tric Juice.
Nature's remedy In euch cases Is to sup
ply what the weak stomach lacks. There
are several good preparations which will do
this , but none so readily as Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets , which ore designed especially
for nil stomach troubles and which euro all
digestive weakness on the common tense
plan of furnishing the digestive principles
which the stomach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect di
gestion. First effect Is to increase the appe
tite , and Increased vigor , added flesh , pure
blood and strength of nerve and muscle Is
the perfectly natural result.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the safest
tonlo known and will euro any form of stomach
ach trouble except cancer of the stomach.
