Into closure und Is causing consternation,
Suddenly to stop every Industry In the
United Kingdom anil to turn tho masses
Into tho streets with millions hoping to
eonccntrato along tho two-mllo routo o
tho procession, Is an undertaking which
has begun to bo appreciated fully by tho
police, but tho public of London la dis
mayed to find that all tho Brent markuts,
Covent Oarden, Smlthflcld and others,
whoro tho food of tho metropolis is to bo
supplied, are to bo closed absolutely at
tho end of tho week. Tho railways will
reduce their urrangoruents to tho Sunday
Hchedules. Restaurants and bars will bo
hhut and the crowds will havo to wander In
the streets. London Is a world In Itself,
living from hand to mouth, and tho closing
of tho accustomed nvenucs for tho supply
and distribution of food, drink and amuse
ment from Friday to Monday will mean
a loss and Inconvenience that no American
city could appreciate.

but neither otllelal Influence or anything
nlso could procure a small window, even
on u sldo street near St. James street, for
less than $100, and places or fair van

prohibited to any but millionaires.
London learned last year how totally In
adequate the iMiltco and military aro to

apparently these considerations do not dolor

IiIb recent Invention, multiplex wireless

ST. JOSEPH, Mich., Jan. 30. The public
horsewhipping of an alleged gambling
liotco keeper by nn ntigry wlfo furnished
no end of excitement at Duchnnnn today
and placed that village wcH up In rank
with tho Kansas towns that have felt tho
rigorous moralizing efforts of Mrs. Nation.
Tho victim of tho chastisement was
"Sketto" Hough, keeper of what purports
to be a candy and cigar store, but which
wives who have felt a shortening of their
allowances on their husbands' paydays say
Is a gambling house.
Tho Michigan disciple of Btrenuous re
form method Ik Mrs. J. Voorhccs and she
had nt her back half tho feminine part of
tin population of the village.
In addition several hundred men crowded
abctit and howled with delight as tho In
furiated woman belabored tho back of the
cigar dealer.
The troublo of which today's event wn
tho culmination has been brewing for
months. Among those who, It Is alleged,
patronized Hough's place were a number
of laboring men nnd tho distress caused
to their families by their losses led to an
nptenl by many residents to the authorities
to closo tho place.
The request was not readily compiled
with and Mrs. Voorhees, who says her
husband lost over $300 In tho resort nnd
was nightly spending tho wages ho earned
during tho day, decided to tako matters Into
her own handn.
Thirty Women In I'tiNNesslon.
Armed with n horsewhip she called on
Deputy McFallen and demanded that he
eleso tho cigar store. The olllccr agreed
to do so and accompanied the woman
to the place. Other women Joined them.
It Is estimated that fully thirty women
were In lino when the party reached Its
destination.
"I'm hero to close this den." declared
tho deputy to Hough, who met hi in at tho
lour.
"Guess I've got a right to sell candy nnd
Igars, same as anybody else," replied tho
lleged gambler.
"Not If I know It, you detestable wrecker
f homes," shouted Mrs. Voorhees. "Tako
that, and thnt, and hero's another, too,"
nd with each succeeding exclamation she
brought down her whip with Increasing
force until her weapon was broken over
Hough's back.
Hough squirmed and dodged, but there
as no escape. Tho women encouraged
Mrs. Voorhees with shouts. Rough was
dared to defend himself, but he was wlso
enough to lot well enough ulone. Had he
mndo a move against his tormentor It Is
nrd to tell whnt that crowd of women I
would hnvn done, to Mm.
Finally ho was released and took rcfugo
behind his candy nnd cigar counter. Later
he closed tho doors of tho placo and now
threats are heard that If It Is reopened
It will bo demolished.

tho Immense amount of gold exhibited by
two of tho men caused tho police to placo
them under strict aui velllnnce. They were
seen with $11,000 In gold, but when nr
rested only $10 was found upon their per
sons.
Tho two men held gavo their names as
Johnson and McNeil. Johnson bears a close
rcsemblnnco to tho published description
of Pat Crowe, nnd communication with tho
Omaha pollco reveals tho fact that the
resemblance Is Identical, even to tho loas
of teeth.

A Elgnlflcnnt sidelight on an underground
connection Is cast by tho admonition to
moko sure that a report of tho petition Is
furnished tho State Journal for publication
an n boost on other members besides thoso
to whom tho documents nro addressed, Thn
Journal has placed Its columns freely at
tho disposal of any ouo against Hosewater
In tbo North Platto and against Thompson
la tho South Platto. but tho legislators aro
nil by this tlmo pretty well on to the un
trustworthy character of tho so-called newt
distributed from that source.
Tho rumor was revived that tho
fuslonltts were planning to Jump In and
try to cloei a republican senator with their
votes In n day-or so and has caused notlre
ablo uneasiness, especially In the Thompson
camp. It cannot bo traced, however, to any
rcllablo source, but probably grows out ot
the frequently heard Joking that the fuslon
Ists will lavo to relievo tho republican
situation If It will not relievo Itself.

something like thlti.

nomlnato both senators at the samo lime.
I don't see why wo should bo asked to do
anything of tho kind and so unusual,
Judgy linker Then you want to nomi
nate ouo senator at a time?
Trompen Yes, that's the only way to
do It.
Uakcr Then, why not nominate tho
North Platte senator first and let your
South Platto man corao In afterward.
Trompen Oh, that wouldn't do at all.
The short term belongs to tho South Platto
und It's u vacancy that already exists and
should bo filled In tho regular order.
Uakor Well, then, you want tho two
sonntors nominated one at n tlmo and tho
short term man first. That ought to bo
easy, 1 don't understand that It makes
much difference about tho short and long
term. Supposo you nominate the short term
man first, but agree that tho phort term
shall go to tho North Platte man.
Trompen No, no That wouldn't do any
better. Mr. Thompson haa announced that
he's a candidate for the short term only and
he couldn't chango now.
Daker Ilolted down, then, your demand
for tbo election of tho short term senator
