Babb is reported as being quite sick. The two caaes before Judge Pottcn ger to-lay, loth went by default. The little daughter of E. G. Dovey, llis9 Anna, is quite ?ick with iroup. The complaint against Miss Mate SafTord, made yesterday by Engineer Mirt Cushing, was to-day with Jdrawn. There are only eight unmarried men on the St. Louis police force. Many of the captains are wealthy, and are all well off. One plain drunk before Judge Math ews to-dav: a fine of ; anil costs was the penalty, lie had no money, so lan guishes in jail. At the beginning of the present year the total railway mileage in the United States was lo0.710 miles. The increase for the past year was 12,724. California has an electric girl, and when she rub her hands together they emit flashes. A fellow should think, at least twice, before he asks for one of those hands. Liberty is the right to do what the law allows: and. if a citizen could do what they forbid, it would be no longer libertv. because others would have the same powers. -Tn Salt Lake Citv the hou?es of the Mormons all have two doors, even the smallest. Some have, also, two wood sheds and two wells. A house that is be gun with only one room is frequently lengthened out room by room and door by door as new wives are taken. Thos. G.

How is that for a Piattsmouth boy i The snow wos four feet deep and the wind was blowing a Hurricane. An exchange tells the story of a boy who was sent to market with a sack full of rabbits, lingering around town all lay, and came home without selling them. When a-ked by his mother why lie had not sold the rabbits, he said no one had asked him what was in the sack. How many of our merchants are like this little boyJ They have plenty of goods for sale but fail to tell people what is in the sack. If you expect to sell goods in this day and age of tha world, you must open your sack and keep shouting the merits of your stoc k in trade. --The other day President Cleveland called in Brown, the New York tailor, who has made clothes for the presidents ever since Andrew Johnson's term, and ordered seven suits at one time. lie had been getting along with four yearly, but Mrs. Cleveland has conyinced him it his duty to not only dress well, but to have a change for every day in the week. She picked out the cloth and colors and practically managed the order, which included one very fine dress suit, and the others were business suits. The president measures 50 inches around the waist and 47 around the chest. Ex. During the past few months of in clement weather, in addition to the two fires which have resulted seriously. Sey eral incipient blazes have smarted in dif ferent parts of the city at which the fire department were not called out which might have resulted in total loss, but for the prompt action on the part of neigh bors. Almost invariably the fires haye originated from defective flues. It seems lo us that the proper thing for the may or and council to do would be to ap point a fire warden, alie active man who would look into these matters close ly in all the wards of the city and take prompt action in all such cases. J. L. Babington has invented n contrivance to measure and roll carpet. It consists of a cylander with necessary rollers attached, and a measure graph which registers the number of yards to a fractional unit. Eighty yards of carpet can be measured and rolled in a ti-ht and compact form in ten minures. It is a great labor saving invention, doing the work in a half day that formerly took one week to accomplish. We called at Mr. Dovey's store this morning and found they had the machine in operation measuring his carpets which he is invoic ing. It was working like a charm and Mr. Dovey is well pleased with ce&sful work. its suc- THE PERSONAL. J I. E. Palmer was in Lincoln te- Capt. da v. Sheriff Eikenbary was in Lincoln to lay. W. H.

Mary Henton died this morning at 0:15 at the home of her daughter, Mrs G. B. Mullis, who resides on west Oak street, 3Irs. Henton was familiarly known as "Grandma" Henton.

It was one of the larg est gatherings in attendence ever present on such an occasion in this city. Scattered through the epacious K. of P. halls .were little tables surrounded by from four to six ladies and gentle men who enjoyed themselves playin euchre, whist, niuggin? and other gators while others were engaged in lively con versation. The entertainment was inter spersed by select songs from the Glee club which were as usual well received Some choice selections were rendered, both yocal and instrumrntal. by different ladies. At about 10:30 or 11 o'clock an elegant repast was seryed to all present, the same having been preparedand brought to the hall by the wives and friends of the members of the A. O. U. W. The order is in an excellent condition and its future prospect is very flattering. Lives In Omaha. V ery lew people Know it, out tne man who first invented and patented the rotary snow-plow, now in use on several western railroads, lives in Omaha. At present he is engaged in the festive and quite lucra tive pastime of extracting aching teeth, and his name is Iloughawout. In March, 1881, he applied for a patent on his in vention and it was given to him on the 0th of June following. It is claimed by the doctor that he not only patented the invention, but every pnneiple connected with it. As the plow now in use was not patented until 1884, litigation for in friugment is very liable to develope be fore long. Bee. Register!

DAILY HERALD, RATriuQu GEO C MILN. Candles and Footlights. The Church and the8tae as Friendly Forces. The audience was a small one that greeted Mr. Miln, the lecturer, last night at Rock wood hall. However, he seemed in excellent humor, and began by saying, "the crowd, though small, is a social one." He reviewed the drama, theatres and museums in a graphic manner, giv ing the early history and influences of the drama in the ancient cities of Greece. He also related the condition of the church, stage and drama at the present time, claiming they should be in close connection with each other. His lecture, throughout, was in defense of tin theatre and its influences, as compared with that of the church. Mr. Miln is a polished speaker, though not au orator. His at tainments as an actor are much greater than his accomplishments as a speaker. He is now, and has been through the winter, taking a rest, but expects to leave for Europe in about one month, where he goes with the intention of playing in the provinces, visiting France studying the character of Napoleon, his pictures, the conditions under which he labored, the surroundings, also the dress and manner? of the time of the first emperor of France, with a view to presenting a play founded on the career of that personage. When Mr. Miln will produce the piece he does not know, and he has not yet determined as to whether the temper of the people of England will w&rrant the production of the play in that country. Hard on the. Drugstores Des Moihes, Iowa, Jan. 27. Mr. Cus ter, chairman of the Committee on the Suppression of Intemperance, and a very radical prohibitionist, introduced in the House yesterday, the bill which the pro hibitionists want. It provides for doing away with all sale of liquor by drug stores or other dealers, and makes the county auditor the sole agent and super intendent to all sales, for legitimate pur poses. It provides that he shall have four assistants or sub-agents in eacl county, who shall be the legalized deal ers. There shall be a system of stamps for selling each package, which he shall obtain from the state auditor, and when ever a package of liquor is used the stamps shall be cancelled tne same as revenue stamps on cigar boxes now are The State Temperance Alliance anc Women's Christian Temperance Union are understood to be favoring some such bill as this which wil have all liquor selling, for purposes not forbidden by law, done by legal agents, rather than by irresponsible parties, as at present.
