Local army ofnccrs nre displeased with
tho action of tup senate In rcfuslm; to
permit tho gale of licer nt post canteens.
When tho house repealed that provision of
tho existing law nothing was said about
tho matter amonK tho officers, although
thoy did not like tho action, because they
thoiiRht tho soniito would not permit tho
repeal of a measure, approved by all per
sons connected with tho soldier and his
physical and moral HtandlnR.
Ono of the officers expressed himself
freely on the subject, but for obvious ren
sons did not deslro to hnvo his name
stilted, lie said:
"Onco again In tho history of tho coun
try the liquor Interests and tho temper
anco agitators havo worked In harmony,
with tho result that tho former will de
rive tho rrollt while tho Intter claims tho
glory of tho defeat of tho measure With
tho canteen ns established nt present tho
soldier was kept upon tho military reser
vation. Tho beer seemed In most cnseH to
gratify hts appctlto for un nlcohollc stimu
lant. "As a result of the post canteen tho low
doRRorles which hnd existed around tho
posts vanished In n largo measure, and
with them tho scarlet woman nnd her In
variable escort, tho thus nnd thief. Tho
talo of whisky curtailed and tho
effect of tho law was felt by tho distiller
and wholesale llu,uor denier, who fount that
instead of tho army being- ono of tho best
nalrnns of tho saloon, It was becoming a.
small factor In tho trade.
I'nr ItimllifHn Itoimoit.
"For business reasons tho liquor dealers
opposed the salo of boor at tho canteen and
from sentiment tho tempcrnnco advocates
desired 'tho United States to go out of tho
business of selling beer.' Tho fact Is that
tho United States was never in 'tho busi
ness of selling beer.' Tho army cannot bo
operated upon sentimental grounds. Its
management must bo practical In tho ex
treme. Whatever tends to increaso tho effi
ciency of tho man In tho ranks must be
encouraged If wo nro to obtain tho best
results. Soldiers arc human, they nro
guided by humnu passions nnd influenced by
tho name conditions which Influenco all
men, Abovo nil the army must bo main
tained. If tho men nt tho head of tho army
find that by permitting tho soldiers to drink
beer on tho reservation they can bo stopped
from drinking whisky otitsldo of tho post,
It would seem tho part of common senso to
let them hnvo tho milder beverago where
they could bo watched by their, officers.
"Hut tho United States senate has con
curred In this point with tho house. Tho
sale of beer is abolished. Commnndcrs of
posts will havo to meet conditions ns they
will exist. They will find thnt tho low
whisky dives will bo ro-cstabllshed; that
tho men will absent themselves from duty
moro nnd moro and that tho guard houses
will bo again filled with soldiers. If It Is
possible tho action of tho sennto should bo
reconsidered. "
MYSTERY IS CLEARED UP
Coroner Axer rtitlnx Identity
of
StrnnKcr Who Died nt
IIONlltlll.
Tho coroner hns boon making Inquiries
bout tho mysterious stranger who dlod
Tuesday night at Immanuol hospital, nnd
hns learned that his nnmo wns Julius
llachny, and that bo lived nt Mlra Creek,
Neb. An investigation of his personal ef
fects showed that ho had no money save
$1, which was In a small leather purso.
Tho eoronor has nlso learned tho identity
of tho two men who helped tho deceased
Into tho hack at Union stntton. Thoy aro
John Mnrcsh of On! nnd Frank Schwaner, a
trangor, who was on his wny to Wisconsin.
Mnrcsh says tho deceased was submitted to
his qaro by an acqunititnnce of his named
Albert Moletko of Mlra Creek, who got off
tho train at (irnnd Island.
Tho coroner received n message yesterday
morning from tho Klrst National bank of
Ord, saying that Ilnchny's fnmlly had been
notified, nnd directing him to hold tho body
for further Instructions. "This clears up
tho mystery," unld he, "all except tho fact
that Kachny bad only four quarters In his
pockot. It hnrdly scorns rcnsonnhlo that a
family apparently woll-to-do would send n
man In his condition so far without nn
attondnnt nnd without money. Still, so
fnr as I can see, thoro Is no evidence that
ho was robbed."

FREMONT LINE IS ABANDONED
County' Di-iiinnil (or llenvy llonil in

llnrrlrr.
Tho plan of building the Omaha & Fre
mont Klectrlc railway has been dropped,
At one time tho project was practically ns
snred, ns tho promoters wero prepared to
commence tho work of construction Just ns
soon ns tho franchise could ho secured from
the county and an agreement reached ns
to tho amount of annual revenue which the
county would derive from tho operation of
the line. Negotiations struck n snag when
the men back of the projected lino were
asked to submit a $23,000 bond guaranteeing
tho construction of the line by a specified
time nnd assuring the county a substantial
per cent of tho dividends.
Tho county commissioners said yesterday
that negotiations for tho franchise wero
dropped two weeks ago, and, ns fnr ns they
knew, would not bo renewed. The promoters
had insisted that no bond would bo fur
nished. They wero equally as Insistent
that tho rato of Income the commissioners
demanded was exorbitant, tho commission
ers having asked for 214 Per cent of tho
gross receipts nnnunllly during tho first five
years nnd for fi per cent of tho gross re
ceipts during the succeeding years.
Commissioner Connolly said yesterday:
"I am willing to admit that wc did sqttcezo
tho railway men pretty hard and possibly
tho commissioners will be willing to rescind
their nctlnn ns far as tho bond Is con
cerned. It may bo that If the promoters
of tho road will lay nlong tho lino $100,000
worth of matirlnl, thnt In Itself will bo n
sufficient guntnntce thnt the lino will bo
built, but no concession will bo made In
tho mntter of the rate of revenue tho lino
must he mndo to yield the county. Negotia
tions havo been dropped, however, and tho
project may hnvo been abandoned."

PRAISE FOR GENERAL LEE
Hon. I.nfnj-ette Yoiiiik, Den .Molnen
Killtor, Wrltrn nn Hlniineiit
K.tltni Int.
The Iowa Dally Capital, tho leading after
noon paper of Des Moines, contains In n re
cent Issue nn Interesting editorial on Gen
eral Mtzhugh Loo, commander of tho De
partment of tho Missouri, In this city. Tho
cdltorlnl Is from the pen of Hon. Lnfayctto
Young, proprietor of tho Capital, and one
of Iowa's most prominent citizens. It
follows:
Much has been said In the newnpnpera
about General Fltzhugh l.ce" speech at St.
Louis. hen efforts havo been made to
auoto what the generul s.tlil, no mm him
been ublo to do It, for the speech lo which
tho public him had Its rtli'i-tlnn culled win
not tho speech mndo at the New England
dinner. At that dinner tJereral Lee n
tiponded to tho toast, Tho Army nnd
Navy." tiiuk ng n patriotic nnd historic a l
dress, referring to grout Moldlcrs nnd cam
paigns of history nnd paying an onthuln4
If Jrlbuto to the American milder from th
beginning of bin career through nil wars
down to the present. The other speech wni
mado nt llomittmn linfnrn lli.t Mo,-, .hunt V
exchange, which Is the SI. Louis nnmo fo.
inn ixmnt ot traite. tiencrnl Leo was i-i-rorted
to the cxehunpe by the members- of
the commltteo of the New England society
and was received with tumultuous ap
plause. There was not ii n porter present
when tho cenernl sntiko ami nnthlnir v,-r
got away from the meeting except by hear
say. Hp made some happy references in
the time when ho was n delegnte In the
Mimo hall assisting In the nomination of
Samuel J. Tllden. Toward the eloKe of hi
reninrKn no expressed nimseir In ravnr or
tho union forever nnd snld that wherever
the American Hag tloatcd It meant liberty.
Ho further said. In substance, that lie
thought the llnu wntllil lmvn In romnlii in
Cuba. His utterance was -o plain that t
wns startling, in private conversation tho
general explained that Ms utterance would
probubly bo misconstrued without further
explanation. Ho said that he wanted Pu
Cubans to have every opportunity to dem
onstrate their ability to fully govern thm
selves. He said the nation wad pledged to
thnt course und every pledge must bo kept.
1 lo also said there were many enpnble. k
and patriotic men In Cuba who would do
their best, but he feared that the perpetual
unrest which yeemcd to characterize that
people would prevent tho success of Imme
diate self-government. Mo .mill he shud
dered when he anticipated tho rcsponv.bl'l
tles that would still rest nnnn the American
government after ournrmlcH had been with
drawn, no tiinugni it would be much bet
ter for the Cubans If they would tolerate
American control n good while yet until
me uun.in pcopio generally una. n more inn
Hire Idea of what thev wanted nnd were
better fitted t'i do tho things that are re
quired to sustain n good government. The
general said he loved the Cuban people ns
ho could love no other people outHlde of the
1'nlted Stntes nnd that no felt that tho
Cuban peoplo loved him. In the early part
of the revolution they trusted him Implic
itly wnuo no nein tno position or consul in
Havana. Ho walked the streets of Havana
when his life was In dancer everv ml unto
because he wns known to be a Cuban sym-
Iiiiinizer, inereiore, no nam lie ieit mat -lie
was entitled to have his own opinions us to
what would best conserve tho welfare of
the native Cubans. Ho simplv expressed
tho deep-seated ilttxlety that fills tho heart
of every man wjlo personally knows any
thing of the Cubnn people. The general
wondered whnt would happen If the rights
of nn Englishman or German resident In
Cuba Woro Injured In case of n revolutl3ii
nnd tho loss of their property. He won
dered that If such thing happened the
English und German wnr vessels might not
nppeur In Hnvnnn harbor and remain th-ro
demanding reparation nnd restitution. He
said that the English were especially de
voted to tho protection of tho lives of h lr
own peoplo In other lands and with tho
trained thought of tho soldier nnd diplo
ma. General Lee called attention privately
to some of tho possible dangers to America,
ns well ns Cuba, In these oncoming cnmpll
cations. If Oenernl I.co's sentiment nod
position wero correctly stated, ns ho fully
explained It to those who Inter In tho
day snt with him nt the banquet bonr-l,
thoro would be no occnslon for crltlclom
for his supposed utterances. His speech be
fore the merchants was a bold nnd bluff
defense of tho American union, nnd no pa
triot living could havo heard hlni wltho-it
throwing his hat nnd shouting for Old
Glory, (lencrnl Lee has promised to visit
Des Moines some time In the near future
and to bo nccompanled by his wlfo nnd
daughter.

For moro thnti thirty years Amlcn Tooth
Soap has been the standard dentifrice und
for nearly that length of time, many of
Omaha's citizens who can boast of pearly
white, well preserved teeth, will testify to
Its use. It Is pleasant to the taste, gives
a delicious aroma to the breath and pro
serves tho teeth and gums almost Indefi
nitely. Tho chemist who discovered thla
wonderful dentifrice spent nearly n lifetime
In nttnlnlng protection. Every mother
should see, to It thnt her child begins the
use of Amlcn Tooth Soap early In life, for
by preserving the teeth you must feed
them nnd Amlcn Tooth Soap Is tho best
food for molars extant. It Is so harmless
that It can ho eaten without tho slightest
lnlury. Those who tise Arnica Tooth Soap
nro never troubled with cankerous soro
mouth or tongue. It Is the most healthful
and delicious tooth preparation known to
the world. So great Is Its popularity thnt
It Is known from one end of the earth to
the other and Is on snlo wherever civilized
peoplo reside.

better work than nny other. There Is noth
ing to spill out on your wnshstand or your
