-would it not be well for our city authori
ties to at once stnrt that prohibition ( amp
urnif in r tnt i nt nf town, and not let it
ronjanother night? You know men, and
women too, will drink if you attempt to
force them to quit, and that even com
pells the saloonkeepers to violate the law
now and sell. Now it i.s plain to be seen
that these prohibition fanatics are to
blame for all this devilment goiDg on,
violation of thu liquor law, men
getting drunk and fighting and gambling.
Now Mr. Demarce and Sobieski, I would
think that common sense and moral de
cency would lead you to quit. Of course
high license is not to blame for such
work, for it regulates the liquor business.
Perhaps if the liquor license was only a
little higher, or a little broader, it would
regulate the prohibtionists also. If we
hayo such a state of things now, what
will it be after the amendment? It will
ruin the country. If the effect of the
amendment is so bad three months before
Land, what must it be three moths after?
Oh it makes me sick to think of it.

Does any body know of a city in Iowa
or Kansas that had such a Jubilee as we
had yesterday? The enemy descended
opon us and we were his.
The editor of this paper is in receipt
of a pamphlet entitled, "Damon and
Pythias," a story written by A. Cressy
Morrison, on the historical eyents upon
which the Knights of Pythias is founded.
The book is a little gem as it is gotten
up in the most artistic manner known to
the printers' and engravers' art. The
wuik i-omi p us as "A Souvenier to the
Knights of Pihias of the World," with
'Compliments of. Pabst Brewing Co.,

"Birds-eye View of Pabst Brewing Co.,"
j.nd a ntc accompanies it with the re
quest that we make a favorable mention
of the fni' :;jsd sntl them a marked

A VERY BLACK SUNDAY
A Drunken, Riotous Mob Made
the Day Hideous WlthTheir
Drnnken Brawls.
A BURNING DISGRACE.
The Better Class of Citizens DIs-gusted-The
City Overrun by
Prostitutes and Tosghs from
Omaha. South Omaha and
Council Bluffs.
It was eiven out in this city last week
that Sunday an organization of Omaha,
known as "Foresters," would picnic in
Ballon Park out at the power house. Ac
cordingly Sheriff Tighe swore in, Satur
day night, a few special officers to be
prepared to take care of the crowd ana
ore-serve order in the city during the day.
At about 11 o'clock Sunday morning a
special train composed of 10 coaches and
one harrrat;e car. made its arrival, bear-
in from ten to twelve hundred men and
women.
It was a motley crowd, consisting prin
cipally of foreigners, and a single glance
would convince one that they were the
very riff-raff of the cities named, and
were out for a general drunk and hurrah,
.ind thev had both. They proceeded to
the Ballou grounds and immediately the
beer began to flow excessively, then what
thev called amusements began, such as
dancing, racing, base balling, and after
awhile "personal liberty" got in his work,
all fiedit ensued which
uii"ht well be stvled u riot without exag
eration. The fights were too numerous
to mention, women taking a hand, and
one receiving serious wounds by being
cut with a knife, and many others were
injured by flying beer glasses and various
other missiles. The sheriff and his
deputy got in some stunners on the law
breakers, but they were too short for the
undertaking, and were only glad to dis
miss the few they did succeed in arrest
inc and running in, as they say under the
irpMmn and ad vice of the mayor. This
mav have been the easiest way out of the
matter, but it is the popular opinion of
our best people that they should have
been punished to the utmost extent
of the law, which would deter
nnnthpr drunken howling mob from
swooping down on onr fair city and dis
gri cing it in a manner in which no city
in the state was ever before disgraced,
and in a manner that the authorities of
no other city in the state would permit.
Gambling went unchecked and in fact
everv other kind of lawlessness ran ram
pant. It may be that the Tighe boys
did all in their power to quell the riot
after it began, but there was a failure
somewhere, f dr all agree that they never
before witnessed such outrages upon so
ciety anywhere before.
It will not meet the case to say that
the crowd was too big for the sheriff and
deputies, for it was not bigger than the
commonwealth of Nebraska, and every
one knows that this commonwealth is at
the back of every peace officer to see
to it that the laws are enforced and the
people protected. We don't mean to
exagerate in telling of the shameful
manner in which the society of this city
was imposed upon, for the picture of
drunken men and women, fighting,
screaming and making hideous the town
is nauseous enough without exageration.
It seems strange that these people
should be permitted to go unpunished
for this sort of conduct, yet we don't hear
of a single fine or imprisonment result
ing from it. We believe, too, that Offi
cer Denson did succeed in getting $S out
of the friends of the fellow who took
his gun from him, cut of compassion we
presume, for surely they had their own
way and need not hare paid a cent if
they didn't want to, and it may be they
had a use for the gun and forced the
deal with the officer.
The drunken reporter for the World
Herald, in speaking of the affair says:
"it was an unqualified success." We
agree with said reporter, provided they
started out for the most disgraceful affair
ever produced in this part of the country.
If that reporter were to visit the regions
of Hades he would prabably write up a
glowing description of it and pronounce
it a grand success, and the World-Herald
would produce it the next day under
a flaming headline. What a magnificent
conception of the term "success".
This drunken, bedraggled outfit went
reeling and screaming down our streets
at nightfall to try to board their train
for their return to that unholy city Omaha.
And at that time it was absolutely un
safe for women and children to appear
upon the streets lest they might be treat
ed to insults if not assaulted. It was
pandemonium turned loose. We guess
flmnrli trp n;ioht to av. thev had the
i o c- " '
"freedom of the city," that is, they were
. i tin a. ;
fr tn tin fi thpv nleased. What 13
-' J L
there to deter such a mob from coming
next Sabbath and having their "unqual-
ifieel success?" Not a man was fined and
they had just such a time as they desired
and why should they not continue to
come?
On the other hand, if these scums of
society had been punished for their law
lessness to the extent of the law, we
inijiht reasonably expect that we would
not soon be thus trampled under foot.
We don't know what rental Mr. Ballou
receives for the use of his park, but it
would be better for the city to pay him
his price and lock it up rather than have
a repetition of this thing. It is the
general verdict of the citizens that this
thing must not occur again.
NOTES OF THE DAY.
It rained yesterday but beer was more
plentiful than water out at the picnic
The town was over run yesterday by
drunk Omaha toughs.
The Sheriff and policeman had more
than they could attend to yesterday, but
did good work in the afternoon and had
the jail crowded to overflowing by
ening.
After working hard and arresting G
of the Omaha toughs, the sheriff dis
graced himself by releasing them all just
at train time. '
We were taught when young that Sun
day was a day of rest, but from the
crowd that stauck this town yesterday
and the way they were allowed to carry
on, one would conclude that it was a
day to drink beer, get drunk, fight,
gamble and break all laws of decency
and respect.
Mr. and Mrs, Samuel Schwab, living
south of Rock Bluffs, mourn the loss of
their five year old daughter, Effie, who
died Friday night of diptheria, and was
buried at 1 o'clock yesterdy at the Lewis
ton cemetery. The little girl's twin
brother is stricken with the same dread
disease.

At the Tabernacle.
The prohibition people held meetings
at 8;30 yesterday afternoon and
last evening. The audience in the
afternoon was noc large but the exercises
consisting of temperance songs by the
choir and addresses by Col. Demaree
and Hon. John Sobieski were well of an
intesesting nature. In the evening there
was a fair sized gathering, and besides
the usual singing by the choirthe audience
was favored with some solos by Mrs ,
Markel, of Omaha. Col. Demaree, as
usual, brief in his remarks, but the brev
ity in his remarks was more than com
pensated for by his force and scathing
denunciation of the liquor trafic. His
vary manhood seemed stirred by reason
of the rummies having lighted down up
on this city and literally taken charge of
it without respect of its laws or the laws
of God. The Colonel closed by intro
ducing to the audience Rey. Ensign, of
Omaha, who made an ernest appeal for
orohibition. The reverend gentleman
is confident the prohibitory amendment
will carry next November by a decisiye
majority, and that the law will be in
forced. Hon. John Sobieski in his humorous
way made the closing address of the
evening. Tonight the meeting is espec
ially for the laboring men. Everybody
is however, inyited to attend and the
meeting promises to be of more interest,
as the question will be argued from a
pecuniary and labor standpoint.
Tomorrow evening the Hon. John So
bieski will deliver one of his popular
lectures, entitled "Ten years in the Lmt-
ec States Army." Admission 10 cents.
Miss Emma Carlson, age 18 years died
last evening at the residence of P. J.

had been laundry girl at the PerKins

was retained by him, and she is spoken
of in the highest terms by Mr. Bons'

persthat would dare say one word
against any man nominated on the alli
ance ticket. T?iis resolution was passed
it appears before the ticket was nomi
nated. The Herald merely refers to
this act of the Phelps county alliance to
demonstrate and emphasize the fact,
that when a parcel of reformers, who are
always office seekers, set out to degen
erate the world by electing themselves
ffiw hv organizing new parties, the
first thing we find is the party lash in its
very worst and most dangerous form.

In connection witu tne series oi papers
now being published on "Exercise for

Ladies' Athletic Club at the Berkeley
Lyceum," by Mary Gay Humphreys.
The Treasury Department gives notice
that on and after the 13th inst. offers
will be received for the sale of silver
bullion under the recent act of congress;
and thus the people will soon begin to
realize the beneficial effects of a law
that was passed by republican votes, in
spite of the gold-bug opposition of the
democrats.
It seems "young Mr. Bryan" is to carry
is big first district by his native elo-
quence. He is already aavertisea as a
silver tongued, spread eagle, advocate of
fre trade. When the democratic party
gets through carrying the "big first"
with their wind, Mr. Bryan will be
ready to again resume his extensive prac
tice (?) before Justices Brown and Fox-
worthy, of Lincoln. It makes us tired to
see a.briefiess young lawer turned loose
in all his freshness upon the green farm
er(?) to educate him about high taxes
and how to bring grasping corporations
to time. We believe duty en brass has
been remoyed in Nebraska.
Steel railroad ties are certainly some
thing new under the sun. The first re
port in reference to them 13 satisfactory.
With the rapid destruction of timr
throughout the country the need of a
good substitute for wooden ties has be
come increasingly apparent. The steel
rails of the period are to be belted to
the steel ties in w:ch a way that spread
ing of the rails will be an impossibility,
and thus one cause of railroad accidents
will be eliminated. That is an impor
tant advantage of the application of the
new idea. At the same time, the "life'.'
of a steel tie is expected to be many
times greater than that of one of woo
- -
keep your eyes open
Probably the time is not remote when
the use of steel ties will become general
on railroads in the more densely settled
portions of the country, where little tim
ber is available for the purpose. The
friends of forest preservation will have
good'reason to welcome their use.
Our neighbor , the Journal, does not
like our Cass county ticket. That paper
has been encouraging the farmers enter
ing politics, as a class, for a long time
and we fondly hoped when the repub
lican party is Cass county had put up a
ticket composed of real sure-enough far
mers, our neighbor would be found in
our camp; yet, he does no appear to be
for us. Senator Thomas is not a good
enough farmer, Representative Stopher
is too much of a farmer, too illiterate,
has paid too much attention to his pump
kins and corn, and not enoughto poli
tics; Commissioner Sheldon does not
live in the right locality to make a safe
commissioner, and so it goes. Now we
are waiting until the Journal put3 up a
ticket We expect to see on that ticket
an aggregation of distinguished farmer
anti-monopolists about as follows: Sen-.
ator anti-monopolists Sherman, Neville,
White or Patterson. Representatives,
Wallace, Green, Travis or Shryock. And
then we expect to see our neighbor point
the alliance of Cass county, with pride,
to the democratic farmers ticket. We
know the Journal is always consistent as
well as honest.
