Good-bye, Foraker; shake, Taft. And again a jury has disagreed in the famous Caleb Powers case in Kentucky. Is Caleb Powers destined to die of old age liefore he is freed or convicted. Oh, Procrastination, thy pame is Court of Justice, in number less cases. The Omaha papers speak of the alarming prevalence of the opium and cocaine habit in that city. The coun ty physician says 80 per cent of the cases coming before him are “dope” fiends. The city druggists are roast ed as violating the law in regard to the sale of these drugs. The Nebraska railway commission has locked horns with the Western Union and Postal telegraph companies, suit being instituted against these companies by the commission for failure to file statements of their busi ness with the commission as provided by law. The penalties will range from $60,000 to 880,000. The second trial of Thaw, the murderer of White, came on for trial in New York City Monday of this week. It is not likely to be as salacious as the former trial, thanks to decency. Tills time Thaw agrees to a claim of insanity as his plea. If a man is sane enough to commit murder, he is surely sane enough to pay the penalty. The insanity plea is generally a disgraceful evasion of justice. The great trial of labor leaders at Boise, Idaho, for complicity in the murder of ex-Governor Steunenberg, closed last week with the jury decid ing Pettibone not guilty, and the prosecution dismissed the case hang ing over Moyer. Thus ends the last of the famous labor troubles that has been in the public eye for so long. It was one case in which the Pinkertons failed to convict somebody, innocent or guilty. Now we will see whether Orchard will hang, or whether he was granted immunity by his revolting story. Much excitement is obtaining, more especially on the Pacific Coast, over the report that Japan is calling back from this country all its reserve army men to report in their country at the earliest possible moment, and that such order was promulgated by the Japanese government as soon as the American fleet started for the Pacific coast. The order is said to be a secret so far as any other country is concerned, and the Japanese in this country will neither attirm nor deny the rumor. The report, however, has gained current that Japan is getting ready for war with the United States and no amount of denial gains credence anywhere. France is sure Japan is getting ready for war with the United States and the sailing of the American battle fleet for the western coast is taken as the pretext for Japan’s hostile movement. One of tlie most remarkable move ments that ever convulsed'a nation is the wave of prohibition which is sweeping over the liquor traffic of America. Ever since the nation was born, prohibition has been promul gated but with only a moderate suc cess. Although a few states “went prohibition,” the rest of the country harbored the evil traffic, and the few commonwealths that stood adamant were but inspiration for the jester and the jokesmith. Today, in nearly every state, legislative measures are being taken to suppress the saloon, and, singular as it may seem, the flame of the new movement was started in the South, in which sec tion, it has always been laughingly said, the man and the mint julep were one inseparable. When the old colonial state of Georgia put a ban on the traffc, the country stood aghast and would not believe its eyes. When Alabama followed suit, and other communities swung into line, we saw that King Alcohol was doomed. You may be suprised to know to what an extent prohibition has got a foothold In this country. It is alarming—to the liquor interests.—Success Maga zine. Along R. R. No. I. O. S. Fross killed a beef Friday. W. B. Reynolds is on the sick list. Roy Eaton will have a sale on Jan. 15th.
