Lightning Rod Swindloru.
Head the following from tlie Falls
City .ftiitnml and bo warned. Audit
may be as well to clean, up your shot
gun and double charge it with .slugs,
buckshutuiitl rusty nails:
Another gang of lightning rod swin
dlers have been operating in this coun
ty, and as usual have found plenty of
victims, notwithstanding tlie fact that
the newspapers have again and again
cautioned the people against men who
do business as these men do. This
outfit calls itself tho "Groat Western
Lightning Hod Co., of St. Joseph, Mo.,"
and this name, like the men who use it,
is a fraud. Tills party proceeds by an
entirely now plan, which brielly stated
is as follows: A smooth-tongued indi
vidual approaches tho farmer and solic
its his older for a "set of rods," and
offers to furnish it at a very low price,
and give him time, taking his note.
The unsuspecting farmer concludes
that the rod is cheap, and signs an
"order" for one or more sets. On tho
margin of tho order is a note in very
small type stating that a "set of rods"
is forty feet, and when tho men come
along to put up tho roil they produce
the "order" and put up tho number of
sets It calls for, and multiply it by 40
and charge their victim so much per
foot, usually four or live times what
their worthless white galvanized rod
is worth, and take his note for the
amount. If ho "kicks" they produco
tho "order" with his name signed to
it, and by threatening to sue him on
tho contract frighten him into signing
a note, which they immediately dispone
of to an "innocent purchaser," at a
heavy discount. Tho gang of plunder
ers now infesting this county played
their game tlie other day on Mr. .1. M.
Harris, a childish feeble old man.
They agreed to rod his house fur tfl'i.rx)
and when the work was done it
amounted according to their estimate,
to J5 and the old gentleman signed a
note for that amount which on that
same day or the next was sold ton bank
in tnis city. We don't npprovu of mob
violence, but in oases of this kind wo
think tlie fanners would bo justifiable
in catching these straggling lightning
rod swindlers and treating them to a
dose of tar and feathers. They aro
worse than horse thioves.and we again
caution our readers against them.
Don't sign "orders" for lightning rods;
they are nothing but traps.and the first
man who asks you to sign such an
order knock hiiu'down and drag him
olf the promises. An honest dealer
will not ask you to sign an order.
Thcro are reliable dealers hero at homo
who will do what they agree to; pat
ionize them and shun tho tramps.
The proposition made by Mr. Hud-
dart, to sprinkle the business streets

Tho Slocumb Liquor Law.
Tho Supremo Court.on the 10th Inst.,
after hearing exhaustive arguments
from competent attorneys for and
against tho constitutionality of tlie
liquor law passed by tho legislature
last winter, decided by an unanimous
bench that the law is constitutional,
and that saloon keepers and others who
have been retailing under tho old law
since June 1st, have done so In viola
tion of law,' and aro subject to its pen
alties for each and every glass of liquor
sold or given away over their bars.siuce
that timo; a license from the city
council in accordance with the old law
being no protection. Such a license or
permit could not bo allowed in evi
dence. The case carried to tho su
preme court upon which the decision
under consideration was elicited was
precisely upon that point the unlaw
ful license of tho Omaha city-council
being ruled out of tho testimony.
We would havo been glad to publish
tho text of the decision as it fell from
tho lips of the presiding Justice, but
have failed to receive it.aud must gath
er tho gist of the decision from city
contemporaries. An Omaha Republi
can reporter furnishes the following:
The following is the substance of a
conversation which a representative of
the Itepublican had with Judge Georgo
B, Dake yesterday in relation to the
decision of the supremo court of tlie
State, affirming the constitutionality of
tlie Slocumb high license law:
Ques: Has tho court come to a con
clusion with reference to tho liquor
law?
Ans.: It has. The decision was ren
dered to-day.
(J Was there any special point
which tho court had considered V
A. No; the whole law, in all its
fullness, and in every point that could
bo raised for determination had been
before the court and the conclusion of
tlie judges is that the law is constitu
tional, and its provisions within the
competency of tho legislature.
Q. Rut this matter of the old li
censes, where men had paid money and
the term not expired how about that?
A. In tho opinion of the court the
license is not a contract. Money is
paid for the privilege of selling certain
articles, the sale of which tho law con
trols. The licenses are granted, sub
ject to further legislation, and those
who take thorn hold them under this
proviso. Therefore, in the opinion of
tho court, Judge Savage had properly
refused to admit one of these old li
censes in evidence. It might be, said
Judge Lukc, that somo measure of in
justice might arise to individuals, and
it might be that this could havo been
obviated by a legislotlve provision for
compensation. The matter, however,
was solely within the provision of tho
legislature, and the courts had no right
to interfere,
s we understand Judge Lake, the
decision of the supremo court covers
tho whole ground of controversy, leav
ing nothing for further litigation.
Editorially the Republican says:
The decision of the supremo court
puts the Slocumb license beyond con
troversy. It is the duty of the citizen
to ouey too law, as tlie law Btanus on
tho statue book, and us interpreteded
by the judges. If any one in a matter
not of primal obligations not mala in
se finds it in his conscience to disobey
tho law, then good citizenship demands
that ho shall stand prepared to suffer
the penalty. The Biipreme
court has practically decided that there
is local option in this state that if a
municipality refuse to pass a licensing
ordinance that fr equicalani to pro-
hlbition witliin the confines of the
municipality. Should our council
remain passive, that surely is equival
ent to refusal to act. There will bo no
licenses in the city. Thoso who fol
low the trade will be engaged in a pro
hibited business, and it will not require
the assent of the cltv council to en
force pains and penalties.
The above is a correct view of the
matter and is equally applicable to
Diownville as to Omaha.
The State Journal of the 18th, says:
Tho supremo court of this state de
cided yesterday that the Slocumb high
license law is constitutional and that
city and county authorities may refuse
to grant license if thoy see fit. Also
that a license taken under the old law
is no protection to an Indictment for
selling liquor without license since the
first of June. According to this de
cision every saloon keeper In this city
and Omaha is selling without authority
of law, unless they havo taken now
license since tho first of June, since tho
now law went into effect. It is alto
gether likely that the temperance peo
ple throughout the state will now
commence a genoral warfare upon
the saloon Keepers, who have beon
selling since Juno without license.
