A bill introduced in the Iowa legislature provides that all parties desiring to use intoxicants shall in corporate in clubs of 100 members each. County auditors may furnish liquor to such clubs and issue coupon tickets at 10 cents each, good for a twist at the club locker. And it is now announced that Lillian Russell's latest husband, John Chatterton, once captured the principal prize at the late P. T. Barnum's first baby show in New York. 'Tis thus the honors are thrust upon the blushing Lil whose matrimonial experiences are only equalled by those of Kate Castleton or Sarah Bernhardt. Those workingmen who went to Washington to protest against the passage of the Wilson bill are com plaining of rather brusque treat ment at the hands of several demo cratic congressmen to whom they ventured to address themselves. They now feel quite assured that they cut a smaller figure with the democratic politicians after election than before. TnE Iowa supreme court reaffirms its decision that the prohibitory amendment is not a part of the state constitution, not having been legally adopted. Under such de cision the way is open for the repeal of a law which has never been enforced except in communi ties where a majority favor total abstinence, and for the substitution of count- option, which will give prohibition counties what they want and make the liquor business, which has flourished in other counties, pay a heavy license tax and be placed under restriction. Minne apolis Journal. Chloride of lime, carbolic acid and other disacreeable things are to be driven out, so we are informed, by a new variety of disinfectants that are gifted with the most de lightful odors. A French physician adds to the cheerfulness brought by this announcement by stating that deep inhalations from a handker chief saturated in cologne water will check the most obstinate cold. If the cold is in the head the inhal ation should be through the nose, if in the chest, through the mouth. It should be so vigorous that a burning sensation is felt. This soon passes away, however, and the cold goes with it. Highest of all in Leavening Bower. Latest U. S. Gov't Report. Now that Bismarck and the em peror have become friendly the probabilities are that before many years there will be some new map making in Europe. It was a shrewd stroke of diplomacy on the part of the sovereign to reunite his empire ere the death of the old iron chan cellor, who at best, will not much longer. The reconciliation is a menace to French invasion of German territory. The friends of ex-governor Camp bell, of Ohio, are claiming that he is an active candidate for the gu bernatorial campaign next 3'ear, after which he will be a presiden tial aspirant in 1890, as the admin istration candidate. It is stated that he dictated all the recent fed eral appointments in the Buckeye state. This latter only proves that the administration loves Jimmy better than Larry, but wait until our Billy has a go at him. A recent dispatch from Wash ington announces that it is the in tention of the democrats in congress to make another heavy reduction in pension disbursements at the next session of this congress. If Cleveland and his gang of friends who so thoroughly hate the pen sioners will be patient death will reduce the disbursements. But per haps they would hasten death by cutting off the pensions of those old soldiers whose maimed condition precludes the possibility of them earning a living. Tammany has sent its boss down to Washington to whip the New York democratic senators and mem bers of congress into line in opposi tion to the federal income tax bill Tammany met its Waterloo in Chi cago at the nomination of Cleve land and the organization should have a sufficient!' correct idea of the proprieties to remain a corpse. The indications are that the Wil son tariff bill and the income tax law will be enacted by a democratic congress, and upon that party will he tastened the responsibility. Tin: sex is defended by courts of justice even in staid old Connecticut. A case was recently reported where a prosperous young farmer, Ros well Chamberlain, courted a country schoolma'am for two years, wrote love letters, and received love tokens in return. But after a courtship of two years Chamberlain told her that he could not afford to man- last i her. "bnesiiise he needed all his money to buy fertilizer with." Is it any wonder that the goddess took the bandage from her eyes for a moment that she might see the man who preferred fertilizer to a pretty girl, who would rather have i A 11 1 Tl a train robber named Jonn Dalton was captured by one of the Northwestern express messengers Friday. Dalton had himself ex pressed on the inside of a stuffed i buffalo, but this game was spoiled j by his removing one of the animal's glass eyes, through the socket of which he pushed a six-shooter cov- j ering the messenger. The latter! however, escaped from its aim j and leaped on the back of the stuffed ! animal. The back caved in and he ! dropped on the robber inside and ' sat on him until the next station was reached, when he was turned t ium over to the authorities. The sate 1 contained $50,000. Evidently Dal ton had confederates who were to act at his signal. They have not been apprehended. A letter has just been made public, says an exchange, in which Sister Lease declares that "Governor Lewelling and his crowd elected by the liquor and fusion votes took bone dust than bones clothed in fleh and blood, and who spurned the joys of wedlock for the delights of a big crop of potatoes. The schoolm'm laid aside her ferule and walked into court, which promptly assessed her damages at S750 cash and costs. Served him right. During the year 1892 fire insur ance companies drew out of this state $1,053,754 in premiums on risks taken. Out of this vast sum only 8G79.40S was paid in losses. The total receipts of Nebraska companies from risks taken in the state amounted to $4G4,225, while the total amount paid in lossess was but $105,107. The managers of all insurance companies agree that the total cost of getting business is 33 per cent of gross premium receipts, tis easy to compute the enormous profits that have beeU pocketed by them, and it is also easy to see the absurdity of their claims that the recent advance of rates was forced upon them by reason of poor busi ness and actual loss on business originating in Nebraska. We have heretofore intimated that insurance people are sowing the wind only a little later to reap the whirlwind. We predict that if they do not soon reverse their policy our legislatures will retaliate and put laws on the statute books that will protect their patrons against further imposition. Bee. The despised and rejected Amer ican wage-earner in the Pennsyl vania coal regions has given a no ble account of himself. He it was that, returning good for evil treat ment, came to the rescue of the coal barons' property and repulsed the .... i i- t. l l ! auarcuibuc annus wmi nau urguu- ized for its total destruction. The American is a lover of law; he suf fers and is strong; he tries to find a legal remedy for the evils from which he suffers. Time and again the Inter Ocean has spoken of the Pennsylvania coal regions as the disfiguring blotches of the Ameri can system. The trade ia foreign labor has been scandously unjust to Americans.

The fact remains, however, that no people on the globe have been so prosperous during that long period as has the people of the United States. They are at anv rate ''sober" enough now. The country does not even indulge "in a smile." The organs of the administration in New York are at their wits' end. They are trying to ignore the con ditions or the party at Washington and seem to have the idea that if they keep still peace and happiness will flow as a river. But the people of the nation are on the war path, and partisan organs are as helpless as babies to turn aside the nation's wrath. Nebraska has been humiliated -at Washington again. The speech of Senator Jones has been printed in a separate number of the Congres sional Record and the dispatches say that this is "the first time a single speech has ever had that distinction." And in spite of Allen's widely advertised effort we are obliged to take a back seat to a measly little state like Nevada, and in a wind contest at that! It is almost enough to justify a day of special fasting and a new order for sackcloth and ashes. Have you houseVfor rent? If so, list them with T. C. Patterson and you will secure tenants. .

The people of Colorado are gradu ally climbing out of the slough of despond into which they rashly plunged themselves last summer when the Sherman act was repealed. They are beginning to realize that they can make more money mining gold than they can by delving silver. The improvements in mining ma chinery and the reduced cost of transportation from mine to smelter lias very materially reduced the expense of gold mining, and the yellow metal is likely to have a boom in the silver states.

It is almost astonishing to note the increased acreage of sugar beet growing in Nebraska. The acreage of beet grown in 1894 will be about double that of the year previous, says the Litchfield Monitor, and the factories will necessarily be worked to their fullest capacity. The soil along the largest streams, which is a sandy loam, is especially adapted to this vegetation, and at no distant j day Nebraska will be classed as one of the largest sugar producing states in the country. Larger and addi tional factories will be built to handle the product, and with sugar and corn combined, Nebraska will be a glorious state. The ignorance displayed br an Omaha editor, who assumes to say that over one-third of all the oil imported into Nebraska is founnd "below the low standard demanded by the Nebraska law," is just a little more pronounced than the usual outbreak from that source.
