8riiiNariiii.ii , Neb. , July 21. [ Special to
TUB Hr.i : . ] About two hundred men , women
nnd children assembled In Spearman's parlc
yesterday afternoon to bear Colonel C. S.
Kllsworth speak on the benefits ot high
license vs prohibition. The speaker was In
troduced by Chairman J. G. Uclnn. Auiorg
other things ho said : Idonotcomo here to
nuiko any false , statements , I have $ -50 to
give to any one who can disprove any state
ment I may make hero this afternoon. I did
not comohoreto defend the saloons of your
state. I did not coma hero to bulldoze uny
ono , but 1 did come here to show pou people ,
if 1 run. the fallacy of prohibition as it has
been trlod in states now under prohibition
rule and bus been fouudwuntlng. Prohibition
does not atoan temperance , fur from it , "Pro
hibition does not prohibit. Prohibition lias
not one single victory it city , state or nation.
Komembor the $50 on that statement. Pro
hibition miikos perjurers , falsillors , liars ,
hypocrites and bus worked more injnrv to
'
the church tlian the liquor tratllu ovur'has.
Tbcas being the facts , nnd I will provo them
f-o bofoix'l aniUone , what do you people of
Nebraska want with prohibition 1
1 inn not hero in the pay of nay political
imrty not in tho. pay ot any one. 1 am not a
property owner in your btuto ; I am u poor
man , but I cumo hem expecting to hecotno a

fact that Milwaukee kept a long start. Willis
wasn't hit very often by tlio Brewers , who
earned but onu run , but tbo gentleman in the
box for Omaha forced In a run with a base on
balls iu the lirst lulling , and Immediately
afterward a wild pitch allowed two more
Brewers to score. Omaha closes tbo scries
