that the couuwtilinn of thu new enterprise

This little table tells the whole story of

shows that , notwithstanding the increase of
population In the last , or license , half of the
dccado over tlm llrst , or prohibition , half ,
tbero were Mii3 ( loss arrests for drunken
ness , ii,107 : less convictions , and 17,100 less
sentences. Comparing 1874 , the last year of
iirohibitlon , with 1S70 , when the license sys-
LCIII had been fully established again , It Is
round that there were 5'J77. fewer arrests in
the hitter year , 'jti ! > 7 fewer convictions and
lJ4l ( fewer sentences ,
Tlio statistics by cities nnd to\wis nro
cinmlly instructive. In the following table
are given the number of arrests in two years
of prohibition , 1S70 and 1874 , nnd in ono of
lilirh license , after that system had been in
force llvo years. Of course there wns n very
large increase ol population between 1870 and
lOT , but notwithstanding that it will bo no
ticed that in most of the places tlicro was a

Some of the decreases nro very striking ,
In Boston , from 1S74 to.l87t ) , it was 20.0 per
ccntr ; In ! all Ulvor over 50 per cent , in Taun-
ton -15 per cent , in Gloucester W pur cent , in
Chlconcc CO per coW , in Lawrence 2 per
cent , Worcester 4i ! jwr cent , etc. There is no
getting away from tlicso tlgures , which show
beyond a doubt that thuro was more drunken
ness under prohibition than under high
license.
The court statistics of liquor cases show
that the courts had much moro to do under
prohibition than under license. Thus dis
proving the thread-baro argument of the pro
hibitionists that If tlio sale of liquor were ab-
solutciy forbidden there would bo little for
the courts to do and that the coils of the
machinery of justice would bo wonderfully
lessened. Such wns not Massachusetts ex
perience. The following table of' liquor
offences ( not drunkenness , buj. selling liquor
Illegally , maintaining liquor imisnticos , etc. , )

The llgures of this table , and the others
too , are so conclusive of the fallacy of pro
hibition in n moans of checking drunkenness
and the evils that How from it that It is no
wonder that Massachusetts declined by n
very largo majority to rot urn to such n state
of ulTulrs. Shu mule ; a thorough trial of the
prohibitory plan , nnd hsr experience shouli
bo warning to Kubraska against entering-

Yesterday.
The caravan of Mecca pilgrims on their
vay homo from San Francisco , arrived In
Ills city last evening atSrlJ o'clock , having
) con delayed at Lincoln over thrco hours.
The pilgrims wcro smarting under the )
-reatmont they had received nt Lincoln , and
lomo of the moro outspoken onca of the
.nirty wcro not backward nbout expressing
.heir displeasure. They stated that when
.hey arrived nt Lincoln they wcro Induced to
stop a short time to view the town , and as nn
additional inducement were shown nn
elaborate menu card which told Of the many
jood things they were to enjoy. On the
strength of this the order for supper In the
dining car was countermanded nnd the party
entered carriages for a short drive.
Tlio short drive , so several of the travelers
stated , extended over the entire section
of country , nnd consumed thrco hours and a
half , so that the pilgrims were compelled to
return to their tr.iln without having had a
bltoto cat. Whereat they wcro exceedingly
provoked.
The cnravnn wns met nt Lincoln by a com
mittee from Tangier temple of Oinnlm , con
sisting of L. 11. Korty , N. I ! . Apple , James
b. France , Moritx Meyer. M' . J. Mount , J. W.
UcdfordnndKlchard Smith. This committee
extended to the pilgrims a hearty invitation
to stop nt the oasis of Tangier nnd refresh
themselves. Thu Invitation wns accepted hi
the spirit In which it was given , and when
the special train pulled into Omaha at 8:15 : p.
m. the travelers lost no tlmo In getting onto
terra llnnn.
The train consisted of thrco sleepers , a
dining car , day coach nnd baggage cur , nnd
upon the sides of the sleepers were banners
bearing the legend , "N. Y. City , Mecca. "
About llfty members of Tangier temple
were nt the depot to meet the train and no
tlmo was lost in getting thoentlro party into
carriages , which were driven rupldlv to
Freemasons' hall , Sixteenth and Capitol nvu-
nuo , where preparations had been made for
suitable rentertainment. A drive nbouttho
city , to the principal points of Interest , hud
been planned , but owing to the lateness of
the hour and the limited time at the disposal
of the visitors , this Idea was abandoned ,
much to the regret of the pilgrims , who were
anxious to sco the metropolis of the west.
The Inrgo lodge room on the third floor of
the temple had been appropriately decorated
and presented a handsome uppcaYnnco. The
celling and wills were draped in such a way
as to present the appearance of an Immense
tent , the drapery being formed of alternate
stripes of dark red and yellow , the Moslem
colors. At the right of tlio station of the im
perial potentate was placed the mntfiiillrcnt
banner of Mt. Calvary commnndery , Knights
Templar , and the charter of Timzk-r temple
of the .Mystic Sliriue. At the left was placed
the banner of Tangier temple , bearing tlio
sclmetnr and crescent , the emblem of the
order. Itcnr this was the testimonial of re
gard sent to Mt. Calvary comrnandory by Do
Molay coimnaudcry of Washington , D. 0.
The doom opening Into tlio lodge room mid
Into the urte-rooiiid wcro draped with the
national colors , and in the center of the lodge
room hnd been placed a long table loaded with
good things.
As soon as all assembled In the lodge room
Gustavo Anderson , the imperial potentate of
Tangier temple , rapped the assemblage to
order and introduced Noble AV. S. Strawn ,
who , in a well timed speech , bndo the pil
grims welcome to tno o.isis of Tangier , giving
them n few nolid facts concerning tlio size ,
population , ago and conimoiviid standing of
the city , and closed by presenting to the vis
itors the key to tlio city , n handsome affair
about two feet long , covered with gold leaf
and mounted upon a blno.plush cushion.
This suggestive instrument was accepted
by Noble. Jnnic * . McGee of Mecca temple ,
Isew York city , on bohnlf of the visiting
nobles and the ladies who accompanied them.
Noble Strawn followed this up by present
ing to Mecca tcniple , through Noble McUeo ,
an immense polished horn , prettily decorated
with cay ribbons and filled with good things.
This horn , the speakers ! utcd , was emblematic
of the hospitality which actuated the giver
and would also servo tis a solution to the
Indies of the cnuso of their husbands' ' ab
sence on "lodge" nlphts.
This trophy was also accepted with many
thanks ,
The ladle ? of the party were then each pro-
sentcd with a polished horn similar to tlio
above-mentioned one , but somewhat smaller.
The horns wcro trimmed with ribbons , lined
with satin nnd filled with bon boas.
All the members of Tangier temple then
formed themselves Into u committee on enter
tainment and served the guests with Ice
cream , cake and churlotto russe , followed by
sparkling champagne.
. At 9:15 : p. m. Noble Mcfleo marshalled the
visitors Into line , good byes were exchanged ,
nnd the pilgrims entered carriages and were
driven to the depot , under escort of a com
mittee , where they entered their train and
started nt once for Chicago.
Tlio party will stop several hours in Chicago
cage , where the will bo the guests of Medina
temple. At that point the caravan will dis
band , the incmbors returning to their several
homes ,

Ho pulled Ids gun and blazed at his Imaginary
assailants. The bullet struck him Just above
tno right knco , but glnneod around the Mono

Tlio patrol wagon was called to take him to
the police station , nnd ho was later removed
to St , Joseph's hospital.
The wound Is not serious or painful , but
will prevent the use of the leg for some time.
The ball was cut out at Klkhorii.
Mantle says ho hns a cousin by the nnmo of
William Jones , living at C hey on no , and that
was his destination.
In the excitement nnd pain following the
shooting ho gave the gun to the man In the

and the gross receipts by over $ 50,000.
As the total number 'of passengers an-

According to Dr. Murray the HUH

been well known that on the Sahara ,
owing to ItH vnporlosmioBfl , the tempera

the daytime to the freezing point ut
night. A similar thermal variation
was observed by the Russian explorer ,
1'i-ojovalsky , when leading his expedi

Dr , Murray's masoning , therefore , IH
la the main very plausible. The appar-
runt abundance of water to bo gotten by
blnklng artesian wells in the Sahara
lends him to form u favorable opinion of
the French wchoino to carry on tholr
