A Wild NlKlit'i Worlc.
S Nob. , Marcli 20. | Special Tele
gram to tlio UIK. ] Last night vvusn wild one
in Hastings and excitement roigncdsupicme ,
The tragic death of Dr. Dandall In the court
room drovv , hundreds of people about tbo
building , but not ono person could bo found
who expressed rcgiet at the occurencc. At
llrst It was Impossible to ascertain who did
the shooting , but finally it was noised about
that ho was a brother of the outraged glrll.
It seems that tvvnnt-llve men had came trom
Edgar , the homo of Marlon Hart , the girl's
father , with the Intention of lynching Ilan-
dall. Young Hart , however , was too quick
for them , and as soon as the testimony was
all In ho suddenly pulled a revolver from be >
ncath his coat and tired. His aim was uner
ring , the ball sti Iking Kandall In the center
ot the head , killing him Instantly. Immedi
ately there was the wildest confusion In the
court house. Young Hart , however , coolly
turned around and walked out of the door.
On the steps ho met the sheriff , but neither
that olilclal nor any ot tlio bystanders cared
to arrest the voting man. Where he went to
Is at present unknown , but tlio men from
Edgar declare that ho will not long bo a fu
gitive , as they will see that ho returns to ills
home and will guard him from any attempts
that may be imulo to deprive him of his
liberty.
Immediately after the shooting , Marlon
Hart , the father ot the girl , rushed up to the
corpse and kicked It , remarking , "I want to
see that a food clean job has been done , and
that the villain will not return to life. " The
corpse was then removed to the undertaker's
rooms , where largo crowds gathered to take a
look at the dead ravlshcr.
During all this tlmo Mrs. Handall , the
wife of the dead man , and implicated with
him in the crime , remained lu the court
room under a guard of ofllcers. as it was
feared that the Infuriated crowd outside
would lynch her If she attempted to leave
the building. Finally , however , n carriage
was secured and the woman , accompanied by
officers , was driven rapidly to her boaidlng
house. The mob , on hearing ot It , Imme
diately started In pursuit , and gathered about
the house where she was stopping live hun
dred strong. Tholr curses were loud and
deep , and It became evident to the ofllcers
that unless she could bo spirited out oftown
another tragedy would occcur. Not a man
could bo found In Hastings who would help
gnaid the woman , nnd the sheilff was
obliged to send to Howard to socuio twonty-
live men to holn keep back
tbo mob. When the Howard contingent
arrived they were all sworn In as deputy
tdieriffs and it was resolved to take Mrs.
Kandall to Grand Island under their guard.
A two-horse carriage was accordingly se
cured and stationed about two blocks away
fron the house. Mrs. Kandall then donned
a plug hat and cutaway coat , and lu this dis
guise left the house in the company of the
oftlccrs. They managed to elude the vigil
ance of the mob , and entering the carriage
the woman was driven rapidly away with the
euards In attendance. It was some time be
fore the crowd surrounding the house wore
aware of Mrs. Kandall's departure , and when
her escape was made known their
fury was unbounded. About a do/en
mounted men , fully armed , started In pur
suit of thu fugitive , bound , if possible , to
overtake her and'cnd her mo. Their plans ,
however , failed , as the woman had too much
of a start , although an accident nearlv save
them a chance to wreak their vengenco.
When about tlvo miles fiom Grand Island
one ot the horses attached to the carriage In
which Mrs. Kandall was riding suddenly
dropped dead , nnd In order to proceed it was
necessary for the officers to boirow a ircsh
animal trom John Kraft , a farmer living
near whore the accident occuned. It was
shortly alter 3 o'clock in tlio morning when
the outfit arrived in Giand
Island and Mrs. Kandall was lodod In jail
for safe keeping. The pursuers arrived about
fifteen minutes later , but too late to carry out
tholr deadly plans.
Thn shooting and the exciting chase have
boon the one theme of convocation hero all
day , even the congregations at the churches
discussing tlio tragedy until the services ac
tually commenced nnd icturning to the
thoiiie as soon as the benedictions were pro
nounced. To show the feeling of the popu-
Inco towards young Hart , tlio shootlst , many
otters ot 91 apiece have been made for his
photographs. _
Favor The Anti-Gambling BUI.
LINCOLN , Neb. , March 20. [ Special Tele-
grain to the BKEJ A meeting ; ot the house
judiciary committee was hold Saturday
night , when the anti-rambling bill was con
sldered. An amendment was offered to ex
empt from the penalty the selling of pools at
fairs , but this was voted down. The bill was
unanimously recommended for passage.
There Is liable to be some objection In the
house , however , because some of the mem
bers feel that the bill Is too sweeping in Us
provisions. The bill will probably bo reached
in the house by Wednesday.
Sowing the Seed.
FKEMONT , Neb. , March 20. [ Special to the
BEK.J 'iho past two weeks of line weather
has been carefully and diligently improved
by tanners In this section. Not for many
years have they been tuinlshcd a better op-
poitunlty for sowing all kinds of small
grain. The snow disappeared early and the
soli was soon in splendid condition for culti
vation. The result is that wheat and oats
are nearly all hovvn. The acreage In this
county will bo a llttlo larger than usual on
account of the propitious weather and a gen
eral belief that the early season will operate
to produce abundant ciops.

A. PROSPECTIVE DISPUTE.
The United States and Canada Itoth
Art of Valuublo Mining Lands ,
OTTAWA , Out , March 20. [ Special Tele
gram to the Bii.J : The discovery of tlio
gold deposits in British Columbia , close to
the Imaginary boundary line between that
province and Alaska , It Is feared , may lead
to serious trouble If the actual boundary Is
notdellned before any attempt Is made to de
velop these valuable finds. In view of the
valuable discovery of gold In the Paeilic
province the Dominion government has de
cided on sending out a party to make a geological
logical survey of that part of the country in
which the mineral has been found , and to
ascertain as nearly as possible to whom they
belong whether to the United States or the
Dominion. The party will , it Is agreed ,
leave hero for Yukon district In April. Dr.
Bell , assistant In the geological survey , says
ho believes the valu.iblo mining
land between the head waters of
the Lewes liver and Mount htllias
will become a source ot dispute between the
United States and Canada on account of the
iudollnito boundary line. Kefcrring to the
country between the head watcis of the
Lewis river ana Mount Stllias , which lies
directly west of it , which abounds in silver ,
copper , leaa and iron ore , Dr. Bell says the
Ameilcaus have got ahead of Canada In the
territorial deal , and the Dominion must look
forward quickly to keep from being forced
out of this valuable territory which , ho main
tain ! ) , properly belongs to Canada. An etfort
will be made during the coming session of
parliament to secure an appropriation to
commence a survey of tlio British Columbia
boundary in the hope that thu United States
government will co-operate and definitely
nettle the boundary line ana thus remove all
possibility of dispute.
A Sharp Speculator Broken.
NEW YOIIK , March 20. - [ Special Tele
gram to the BEI : . ] S. J. Vlasto , a Greek
doing business under the firm name of Vlasto
BIOS. , has disappeared and left
a debt of 500,000 behind him.
Mr. Vlasto was nominally In the
ship brokerage business , but he has for
tvTO years speculated In wheat options , and
has been long on the market. Yesterday tlio
chairman of the produce exchange received a
notice from the president of the Central relining -
lining company that Mr. Vesto was unable
to meet his engagements. Immediately fifty
or more ciedltors rushed to Vlas > to's oftice
and read on the glass door "will return in
half an hour. " At sundown the notice was
still there and Mr. Vlasto could not be found.
He bus evacuated his elegant apartments in
tno Dakota Hats , and his creditors have
about abandoned their claims. Vlasto made
himself prominent during tlio Kusslan war
excitement a jear ago when several sensa
tional dispatches dlbtilbtitcd in the grain
ilug were said to have emanated fiom htm.
One day ho caused n dispitch to be published
that the portotOdesba had been closed. Upon
this wheat went up and ho sold many
boat loads on the advance. Tno next day
the rumors were contradicted , wheat went
down and he bought back. Upon this little
speculation ho is said to have turned about
812,000 profit.

Comments of the London Press on
Yachting Matters.
[ Copyrtubt 1SS7 liy Janus Qoidan Dennett. ]
LONDON , Maich 20. | New York Herald
Cable Special to the BUE. ] The ocean
yacht race between the Dauntless and the
Coronet much Interests the weekly and daily
press. It is also discussed with vigor and
variety by the frequenters of the yacht club.
The cm rent number of the Field has a long
article giving sketches of the past Atlantic
contests and several communications regard
ing center-boards and speculative paragraphs
about tbo pending lace. To-da's issue of
the Obbeiver , which celebrates Us ninety-
sixth newspaper anniversaiy , contains
an article fiom which I glvo extracts
as illustrating the current interest and spec
ulation touching the racing yachts. It says ,
after referring to the statistics of the Sappho ,
lleniietta and Dauntless matches : "Ills not
probable that the passage In the present
match will bo so short as these records , whllo
there is considerable probability of its being
unpleasantly lengthy by n hard-headed
northeaster as they approach our shores. ' '
Concerning the comliu racing season , the
Observer adds : " .Mr. Tankcrvlllo Cham
ber , In a spirit of chivalry
which deserves great credit , has turned the
queen cup Into a challenge cup to test thn
mettle of American yachtmen , and Is pre
paring the famous old Arrow to do battle lu
Us defense. The America crack May Flower ,
which Is indisputably the best on the other
as the Irox on this , will have to allow nlno
minutes and fifteen seconds to the Arrow
over a ilfty mlle course , and If the
latter is made as tit as she many
ho there are many more unlikely things than
the addition to her long list of another vic
tory. The Jubilee match round the kingdom
will attract many of the best American yachts
and among them ocntor-boardcrs , against
vrhlch British yachtaiueu outcitaln a strong
and , as some thlnlr , a slightly unreasonable
prejudice. Invented by an Englishman , the
center-board or sliding keel never found
much favor among bis conservative country
men , whllo our American cousins , far wiser
In their appreciation of novelties , have utilized
it extensively. It has been proved over and
over aealn that hoisting their centcr-bjards
elves American , yachts an adv antage of ov er
ten minutes in a twenty mile run before the
wind over an English rival. They are also
equal or superior when close-h uled to the
wind. Perhaps the experience or the next
fovv months may soften our insular preju
dices , and the result of the International
competition may bo an approximation of our
type of yacht more to that now regarded as
best by our American cousins. "

to the Br.K.1 The week , taken all In all , was
about as unsatisfactory as It could possibly
be to operators on both sides of the account

a very firm feeling on American securities
and took larger amoiints than fora long tlmo
past , which caused the bears llrst to halt In
thblr raids and then to cover their shorts.
But foreign buying failed to elicit the ordi
nary response here , chlctly for the reason
that the bull leaders did not care to take any

WASIII.NGIO.N , March 20. [ Special Tele
gram to tlio Br.R.j Ex-Representative W.
W. Ctapo , of Mi'sachusetts , an hod yester
day and It was at once reported that he had
been selected for a place on the Ititer-sitato
commission. This leport was ti'legiauhcd to
New York and appeared on the Wall stieet
bulletins late in the afternoon , but the rc-
poit was qtialllled by the statement that he
might be barred because ot his lallroad con
nections. The truth is , that Mr. Crape came
hero to look Into some legal matters con
nected withjtlie FllntiVrPIerre .Maiqiictto rail
road , of which ho is picsldent. liellablo re
ports aic current , however , which credit the
president with the desire to glvo Mr. Crape
a place on the board. Ho was at thn vvhlto
house yesterday at tcrnoon and had a long
coufeieuce with the piesldcnt. Ho is said to
have called again to-day. The president , who
usually spends ills Sunday afternoons at
Oak Vlow , did not arrive there to-day
until about 4 o'clock , Mr. Ciapo
left the city on the 4 o'clock
train. If ho accepts a place on the
board ho will bo compelled to resign his
presidency ot the railroad and In all proba
bility will be called upon to sell his stock. A
gentleman who Is very close to the president
thinks that ho would bo delighted to have the
tioubhms questions giowlug out of the ap
pointment of the Now England member ot
tin ) board settled in this manner , but Mi.
Crapo's friends do not think that ho can be
Induced to accept the prolTercd place. The
dllliculty which the piesldent meets in se
lecting tlio board arises principally from the
fact that neatly all his lirst cholco selections
have declined appointment. The salary of
commissioner Is only S7,50Jajear , which is
not enough to teamt the best men. Tbo
honois ol the position are not bal
anced by the enormous amount
of labor which will bo required
of Iho commissioners. Besides these
draw backs. It w ill bo pi.ictlcally Impossible *
tor every one , however Impartial he may be ,
to servo on the board without Incurring the
ciltlelsm and animosity ot his present fi lends
and business associates. When all these
dllllcultics arc considered In connection with
the desire ot the piesldent to select a board
as nearly peilcct as possible It will icadily be
undcistood that ho has no child's play In
making up the boaid , and the delay in select
ing piopci men will bo readily understood.
i > iir.ssr.rs : AS A DIPLOMAT.
The Sunday Herald to-day has this highly
important , if true , news : The ooips diplo
matic has been in a mild fever all the week
over a leport ot the doings at Berlin Into
which the pcionnial old diplomatist if.
Lecomto Dchcsseps lias projected himself.
The cable dispatches of Sunday last said :
"M. DoLessmis is the hero ot the day at Ber
lin. " Saturday , March 18 , ho had a confer
ence of an hour with Prince Bismarck ,
lunched with the Crown Prince Frederick
William and was given a reception in the
palace by Princess Saxe-Melnliiecr and a
gioat ( leal of the same sort. Knowing the
liermaii empoior's court to bu the
most punctilious and ceremonious
on thn continent , all Europe
began to w ender how it was that DeLesseps
had been invited into the inner circles of
nobility the veiy "center ot centers" In
such cordial lashlon , and they all agreed that
some unusual event that was a matter ot
state was stir le tapis , and they were quite
right. Wednesday agicat New Yoik bankIng -
Ing house received a telegram from its cor
respondent at Krankfoit to the cllect that
DoLPSSuns had olleied Germany an Interest
equal to two fifths of the whole in the inter-
oceanic canal ; that lie pointed out what a
bond of peace it would be between
tlio two nations if they lolntly
owner ami controlled such aw oik. He also
said that of the lifty-livo miles In length ,
twenty-seven were excavated ten toot and
eight thn entire depth ; fliat ho had build a
dam across thn mouth ot the work to prevent
the sea water liom coming In. There was
every probability , the commissioner said ,
that the proposition w ould Do accepted. The
rranktott banker wanted to know In case
the matter was consummated what effect It
would havn on American seem Itles.
INIIlKri.llEM lOVVAIiDSIlIE I'lll.SIDENT.
It is looked upon as a somewhat remailca-
blo circumstance that of the visitors who
came to Washington during the past week
on the exclusion from western Now York ,
those who halted from Buffalo took the least
Inteiest In the piesldent and his all airs. Not
more than a quaitcr of the entire number ,
and theiewcre several hundied , irom the
city ot Buffalo itself took the trouble to co to
the w lilto house. Those from Rochester and
other points in the western end of the state
very geueiallj called upon the president , but
his cx-nelgbbors didn't seem to rare a straw
about his manner ot living In Washington.
Inquiries among thorn show that Cleveland
has passed entirely out of the thoughts of
ButTiiloniaus and that they have ceased to
re.aid him as a townsman 01 a man in whose
career they have the slltrhtost Interest what
ever. The party was composed of men of all

The Polish Catholic Dllliculty Again
Result * ) in n Riot.
DI.TIIOIT , March 20. More than a year
ago the members of St. Albcrtus Polish Cath
olic church wcio rioting because their priest ,
Father Kolaslnskl , had been deposed by
Bishop Borgoss. After a futile attempt to
keep the church open with another pi lest in
charge , the building was closed and has so
remained since. At intervals there have
been rumors of its reopening , each
such reports creating great excitement
among * the congregation , which numbered
7,000. Within a few days a repoit
became curient that the church would bo r'
opened by Father Dombroupkl on MarcliT. .
This report aroused the Kolaslnski faction
and trouble was anticipated. To-day a squad
ot policemen were guarding tlio church and
the neighboring convent , when they were
assailed by a ciowd of Koluslnskl support
ers. Ofllcoi Frank SchratTron was stiuck in
tlio faeo with a brick. His assailant
was attested and a stoim broke forth.
Tun or moro pistol shots
were fired ut the police , who were also as
sailed with a shower of bricks , clubs and
other handy missiles , in icply the police
Ilicd over the Heads of the mob and kept them
nt bay whllo their prisoner was carried away
and additional protection seemed. Nearly
IS.OOO Poles raed and stormed about the
oltlcers. but no further violence was at
tempted. Half a dozen police
men were badly battered and
hiulsed. but none were fatally injured. A
fevr Poles were also hurt , but their compan
ions Immediately carried them away , so that
the extent of their Injuries cannot be learned.
To-nluht the police aio gimtdlni ; tbo dis
turbed districts , but no further trouble Is an
ticipated. Thu convent windows were badly
shattered by llj ins bricks.

FIRE AT CMAUrAUQIM.
The Sunday-School Assembly Mulld-
lugs ' 1 hroatone il With Destruction.
EIIIK , Pa , March .U A telephone mes
sage to the Despatch savs : Atn few minutes
after 10 o'clock last night residents of Chan-
tauqua discovered a Ilia In what Is known as
the old Curtis bulldlnz , ono of the oldest
structures In the village and which has been
unoccupied for.some time. The town pos
sesses a small volunteer tire department ,
wlilchiwas.it once culled out , arriving at
the scene ot thn tire at lO''M.
Some trouble was had with
the apparatus , which had not been ti'cd for a
long tlmo , and In thu tiieantlmo thn tire had
gained good headway and spiead to two ad
joining buildings , taking sucit a lii in hold
tlmt the apparatus , a baud pump , was of little
avail. Everthing possible was done by tlio
llremen , and residents of the neighboring
Houses nmdu all haste to remove tlielr goods
to a place of safety. In the meantime the
lire continued to make steady piogross up
Townsend avenue , which lies along the bank
ot the lake , working its wav towards Hie
hotel and tmlldines of the Chautauqua as-
scmbl ) . At 11 o'clock it had reached t lie cor
ner o [ I'ansli and Townsend avenves and
spiead. taking In two streets. At this tlmo
upwards ol seventeen buildings were on
lire and absolutely nothing could bo
done. Appeals for nld were sent to
Brockton and Dunkirk , but owing to the de
fective tire apparatus ot those places none
could lie sent. The last report received from
the scone ot the tire was at midnight and the
omplojesof tlio telephone olllce woio moving
out their goods , stating that thu lite was only
two doors distant and the whole attention ot
the tuo department and the resi
dents was devoted to getting out
household goods. Otvintr to the
proximity ot the flio the telephone
operatoi , the only source of news In the
place , was verv unwilling to clvo the news
and would not take time to state who owned
tlio burned buildings. Ho stated , however ,
that they were nearly all the ptopeityof
Hummer icsldents and that the damaice
would liu'uro way up in tlio thousands. At
that tlmo the tire had taken
hold upon the new and mngulhcent
hotel and was making taptd work with
It. Owing to the Imminent destruction
of the telephone station It Is exceedingly im
probable whether fuitlier news can bu ob
tained to-night.
2:15 : a. m. In addition to what has already
been reported the tlames have swept Siun-
mertii'ld avenuu and Simson avenue. The
children's temple and ampithcatcr have both
been completely destroyed.

created a panic among the occupants. The
tails wcre-immcdlatcly ciowded with partly
dressed women and men engaged lu a wild
scramble for the lower floors. Luckly the

; rol and no ono was Injured. The porter had
accldently dioppcd a lighted match on the bed
ding on getting a guest out of one of the
rooms nt 11 o'clock last night. The tire
smouldered and broke out four hours later
while evervbody was asleep. The loss Is
slight.

UORSEWHlPrKD BY AN ACTRESS
A Scusnnoiml Episode In the Stnr
Theater , Now York.
Niw : YOUK , March 20. [ Special Telegram
to the BIK. : ] The lobby of tlio Star theater
was the scene of a veiy sensational episode
last evening. Miss Alice Constance Osbouine ,
an actress , undertook to administer corporal
punishment to Charles Buinham , business
manacer of Lester Wallack's theater. It was
just a few minutes befoie the curtain rose on
Bunihatdt's performance , and the lobby was
crowded with ladles and gentlemen. Mr.
Burnham was standing by the ticket-taker
talking to a lady when Miss Osboui no en
tered the swinging doors by the box otllce.
She came toward Mr. Buinham and , after
passing a few commonplace remarks , bald :
"Mr. Burnham. how much do 1 owe you'/ "
. " 1 don't know. " ho said. "What do you
think Is due me1/ "
The excited younc ! nd > 's only reply was to
diaw a small riding wnlp liom beneath
her cloak and to stilko the
manager across the face. She administered
two blow sbeloro ho wasablo to takn thowhlp
out of her hands. Then she diuvv another
whip and began to rain sharp , quick ulous
upon his head and shoulders. Burnham
crouched beside the railing in a vain attempt
to shield himself , w bile the Irate damsel plied
the lash. Alter she had given what she con
sidered sufficient punishment , MissOsbotirno
made a uibh for thu street and jumped Into a
Broadway car. The scene caused the utmost
excitement In the lobby. Miss Osbourne Is
an American girl with a puslon for tliu stage.
Last Thursday she hired Wallack's tlioatei to
give a performance of "Fiou Frou. " The
play was a failure and Miss Osbournc
claimed tlio responsibility rested entirely
with Mr. Burnham , who was supposed to
furnish her with a tlrst class company. This
so Incensed Miss Osbourno that she deter
mined to punish him.

A Ilnrtl Nut to Crack.
Dis : MniNi-1 : , In. , March 20. [ Special
to tt.o Bii.l : : Iowa's supiemo court takes
high r.uik among the judicial trlbuunls of
thocoiintiy , ami Justly bo , for Its profound
learning , Impartial judgment and luendth of
> low conini'Mid It to the conlUlonco and re-
sioct | of all. 15ut the supreme court has re-
cuutly demonstrated In a novel manner Its
suiiciior ability by showing that contrary to
the usual experience of inanKlnd an odd
number Is even , and the tmlf of an odd Is an
even. This astonishing conclusion was
reached the other day when iho "bin distil
lery" case \\as before this august body. The
question \\ns on an application by the distillery - *
lery for n w i It of suporscdas suspending th
operation of thu Injunction against It whllo
the c.iso was pending a ilnal decision on Its'
merits. The opponents of the distillery ]
wanted to ha\o It closed right up the same1
as has been dune with the saloons and brew
eries. The distillery objected and asked tori
a eouplo of months at least In which to com
plete tholr contracts. The learned court ,
w litoli It should bo remarked consists of uvo
members , debated Ions and profoundly on
this grave question , and then Chief Justice
Adams announced to the astonished bar
that tlio court had been unable to
agree and It would like to have the parties
Interested tlx on some compromise tlioin-
sol\cs. Asa majority \oto of the court Is
alone icqulicul In tiling decisions , and as the
court was composed of live members , the
average man has been trying ever since to
discover how the court managed to divide
live on a single question ot equity 30 as to
make a stand olT lor each side. The general
conclusion seems to bo that one man must
base a double head , a half of which ho con
tributed to plaintlll and defendant each.
Hence the Io\va court will be cited hereafter
as authority for the statement that a halt of
the is an even number and that dividing on
that line , both parties to a suit can have exact
and even justice so c\en th.it neither will
win. Verily it Is a gicat court that can ac
complish such teats In mathematics when ap
plied to jiirlspiudencc.
Speaking of the distillery opens up a fruit
ful theme , for It Is the general topic of dis
cussion In this vicinity. Being the last of Us
kind In the state , thuro Is a sort of a "sur-
vlval-oi-tho-iitlost" interest about it which
lasts as lone as there Is any probability of 1U
really survlinc. . There are several chapters
of unwiitten history connected with Itwhich
tlio public Is just beginning to llnd out Ono
of these Is , that the hand behind the wires im
tlio prosecution of the suits to close It Is not/
the hand of prohibition , but of rival dls- '
tillers In 1'eorla and other western points. It *
Is stated on good authority that wishing to
'
get rid of a disastrous competition , they havo-
Invoked Uio prohibitory law to help them Uoq
so. It is true that the suits for that purpose- *
are biought In the name of the county * teml l
pcianco alliance , but the leading attorneys , t
lor the prosecution me said to bu retained by
the distillers ot thu Western Export associa
tion. That makes the situation very Inter
esting when distillers are found Invoking ,
the aid of prohibition to help along i
their business. Another surprising fact con-1
nccted with the case is the appearance of j
Judge bourse , the leading prohibition Iaw-1
ycr of the-state , as counsel lor the local dlsI I
tillery in its appeal to tlio supreme court. 1
lie has been the crcat mogul ot prohibition' !
Irotn the beginning. Jlu was tlio attorney I
for the lll-latod "amrndmcnt" tli.it dlecTJ
"a-bornln' . " Jlo has been the loudest in do- ,
nounclng the enemies of prohibition , declar
ing that they must all walk the plank. HlaJ
\oleo has been lilted up at every prohibition * ]
convention lu this city , and he has fervently'
and dcvoutlv declared that all that was !
needed to make the triumph comnhau was to 4
have tbo big distillery closed. Now tlio dls- ;
tmuulbhcd ( mice appears as thu attorney for ;
the same distillery and has made an elabor
ate argument lie I ore the supreme court In
tavoi ot allowing it to continue running as4
it has been. Veilly , the retainer Is inlglitlcc
than the retained.

Henry George's famous mot about "Pro
gress and 1'overty" colng hand in hand ,
might bu paraplu ased by tlio substitution ot
criminals and colonies. The growth of popu
lation Is marked by a corresponding crowth
of cilme , thanks to Adam's little escapade In
a funt garden , etc. , umnj years ago. The
executive council have had their attention
called to this tact very foiclbly ot lute. They
tmd that the Inciitasu In population In north-
westcin Iowa has been accompanied by a
corresponding increase In the number of crim
inals 11 line , till that portion of the state IB
roiitilbutlng more subjects for thn poniten- ,
tlmy , than were bargained for. The state
has two penitentiaries , ono In the northern
part , at Anamosa , and tlio other In the south
ern part , at Fort Madison. For thu assign
ment of criminals it has been dlvl.kd Into
two districts by an east and west lino. The
old boundary was supposed at tlio time to
make a fair division of the rositos , but th .
population has Increased so rapidly In the )
northwestern part of the state and to much
taster relatively than the southern part , that
tlio northern prison Is over crowded , and tho. ,
southern prison hasn't a full quota. So the
council are considering the advisability ot
redistrlctlng the state foi the purpose named.
