Ono o the points on which they rolled was that th offense wns committed bcforo the luw mail Ittff the obtaining of n signature by frnui went Into effect , but the court held that th word "effects" In the old law covered tht case. The chief point made , and one o : which the court hesitated , was that claim ing thnt the allowance by tho.Board of Put lie Lands nnd Buildings of Belts' clait was a settlement , an adjudication with him nnd no charge of fraud could bo malntainci after such adjudlcatioli , which would Imv left perjury the only ofTonso on which h could bo impaled.

Judge Strode held that the action of th board wns not such a judicial proceeding a ' would preclude the bringing of such a crln i Inal action as this.

Th bidders yesterday were the Barber con pany , John Grant and the Standard com pany. The first tlmo bids were received th Barber company was the only ono to subml a bid. On the second occasion the thrc companies bidding yesterday entered Int the competition. Both times the bids wor rejected because the prices wcro consldere too high and Major Furay uud Blrlchnusc thought It savored too much of a combine c the asphalt dealers. The Wds yojtorday were remarkable fo the similarity they bore to tboso submltto three weeks ago. With n few exceptions th companies bid upon the lame district as they did at that tlmo , quotm the snmo prices. The Barber con pany bid upon forty-six districts , and It prices were $3.00 pu class B , live-year guai anty , and $3 on ' , eu-yoar guaranty , Th Standard company bid upon all of the disi riots on class A and II , five-year guaranty uud on several others on the ten-year guai anty.

Tlio failure of Herman - man SchatTnor , which occurrcJ last Friday bora fruit today In well defined runs , which wore precipitated on , almost , If not every ono of the savings banks of Chicago. The first to feel the effect of the excitement was the Dank of Commerce , where a great many Jewish citizens of the poorer class kept their accounts. Thcso took nlnrra naturally as the SchafTner failure , and bore down upon the Commerce bank In full force at the open * lug hour. The tellers were doubled up and paid checks as fast as presented throughout the day , The oxcltcmont spread and soon Involved the other savings Institutions. The Illinois Trust company , which has a larger line of this class of deposits than any other bank In the olty , amounting at times to over $12- , 000,000 , put on an extra force of tellers and paid every ono as rapidly as possible , and nt S o'clock posted a notice upon the front door ttiat the bank would remain open until 10 o'clock tonight and so long as the present ex citement should continue. The Hlberlan bank , which , as its name 1m lies , was the depository for a largo num ber of Irlsti-Amorlcaus of small moans , was crowded all day but found no ttlfllculty lu meeting the demand and at 3 o'clock the ox- oltomont had decreased. I'nlil In 1'nrt. The Dune Savings bank took advantage of this rule and paid a percentage only upon cnch deposit. The Olobo Savings bank applied the thirty-day rulo. The Milwaukee Avenue Savings bank sustained a moderate UK throughout the day and they , too , kept ipen house until 0 o'clock tonight. Equally .piritcd . checking was noticeable upon. the /ratio State Savings bank , but In no case vas an.\ alarm felt by well informed people. The situation was greatly aggravated by number of Board of Trade orokers who , 'or purposes of their own , devoted thorn * lolvcs to the circulation of sensational 'umors ' In wnlch they Involved ut ono time ir other nearly every bank in the city and i largo number of stock yard operators. Notwithstanding these malicious efforts , hero is every reason to believe that none of , \\tf \ leading banks , whether savings , state > r national of Chicago , are in any clangor of uspending. The failure of Moadowcroft & Co. , a minor institution , occurred , but aroused little or 10 interest In the minds of the general pub ic. Their total deposits did not exceed ESOO.OOO.

The bill gives as the cause oJ ho failure the Inability to reorganize the bank after the death of ono of the brothers ast February. The bank was established n 1860 , by the father of the members of the present llrm. The attorney for the bank places the lia bilities at $350,000 ; assets at $470.000. Th latter consist chiefly of commercial paper , which is not now readily convertible Intc cash. B. A. Armstrong & Co. , manufacturers and dealers in society and military uniforms , mvo failed. Liabilities , $500,000 ; assets , 375,000. The firm has been in business foi wenty years. An attachment was bruughl against the llrm on Saturday and the shorlfl took possession. Thlo morning the Judgment was satisfied , but as others who hfid heart of the attachment threatened to pscss thcli claims , it was decided to assign. The firir : laims that the failure Is only temporary. The property of C. A. Woisenbach , cloth .ng and shoo merchant , was seized by tin sheriff this morning on Judgments.

" It Is called n comic play with music , and is the Joint work of Herbert Hall Wlnslow and Joseph Hart. Hailcn and Hart are adroit and resourceful entertainers , who have de manded attention and enlisted admiration by Industrious and progressive methods as wall as genulno tnorlt. Their performance of "Later On , " so well known and liked , was always characterized by Individ uality. It had song , dance , frolic and nil the other Ingredients of such light and fllmslcal pieces , but these attract ive features wcro almost literally original with their performance , and whether they magnetized or not they had the unusual merit of individual distinction and surprise. In the case of their now play they are said by those who ought to know , to retain all of these commendable < nmlltles , with an added measure of humor and intelligent thread of story , upon which and around which re volves the whole. Just how far this is so remains to bo scon. It is fair to presume , however , on the basis of previous knowl edge , that all this will bo illustrated truly and happily at this houso. The disposition to go forvard and realize higher ami hotter things Is of itself commendable , and Is con spicuously unlike what Is generally present lu the farce comedy field , oven among these who are supposed to bo netivo and prosper ous.

OPIUM AND ITS'DISGUISES. . Sold la Jinny Forma to' People Who I/ind In tlio Anyluux. Ono druggist , who kept n , record of his proscriptions for several years , assured a Now York Ilorald man that nearly 1,000 out of 16,000 prescriptions ho had counted called for opium. But that is not all. When the patent modicincs that go to make up throe-fourths of the mer chantable stock of the chemist are gone ever wo run across more opium. "With few exceptions , the patented cough bal sams all contain opium. That's why they're so dear. The more expensive the preparation the larger the amount of opium It contains. It almost Bcoma as If they were a cloak under which the unrestricted Halo of opium is carried on in open violation of the law. Many fiends carry a doctor's proscrip tion calling for half an ounce or more of opium in their pockets for years and have it replenished as of ton as they like. When the paper becomes old and faded they have it copied by an obliging druggist's assistant and it lasts for an other year or so of daily uso. They are the persons who sooner or later go to flll up our insane asylums and private retreats. If they are poor they become burdens upon the community. If thoj have influential friends they find o homo in some retired retreat wlioro the hope is kept green that they have nol passed beyond human aid. By this time they are physical and moral wrecks , for nothing like opium will undermine a noble character and t strong will. All this is the pernicious side o : opium. Now what good can bo said o it ? A great deal. It is beyond qucstioi a valuable drug , and no doctor can af ford to bo without it for a moment. Tc relieve excruciating pain , which o itself may kill a person , it has no aqua as a sedative , a sleep producer and i tome. If wakeful nights have sapped i ButToror's vital force until there is lltth loft , nothing llko opium will brine or rest and froedoin from pain. There an many Icindred conditions in which thi use of opium is indicated , yes , demanded but rarely lias it any other value in th < therapy for tlio euro of disease. It ii seldom more than a remedy of oxpcdi onoy.

Ktordays ahead many of the lines report their diagrams already filled , and unless a carer moro Is added to the trains passengers Intending to visit Chicago during the week will have to make their reservations days in advance. Whllo the now rates give excellent satis faction there Is a feeling among the Iowa lines that until the rate Is fixed at $15 for the round trip , or what Is still bettor , a ono faro rate , travel will not bo up to the standard originally anticipated by the general pisson- gcr agents. It Is thought , hovrovor , that It will bo late In the summer before n lower rate than at present quoted will bo authorized , the gen eral passenger agents having decided among themselves to make the. present basis of 70 per cent of the locals au Iron-clad agreement both In the Western Passcnpor association and the Transuilsiourl associa tion. tion.Whllo the now rate only affects rlvor points today , Nehraika Interior points will hnvo rates equivalent to W } { per cent as compared with 70 per cent from the rlvor , the now rates becoming olTcctivo at onco.

The now grain rates , which become effec tive Juno 10 , are responsible for an Increased movement o corn and wheat from Nebraska points to the grain centers of the country , all the railroads reporting Increased ship- incuts since the announcement that now rates on cereals would go into effect on Sat urday. Whllo there is no shortage in cars at the present it is thought the demands will Increase soon In order that as much of the grain as possible may bo housed hi elevators In St. Louis , Chicago and other points before fore the law becomes olToclIvo. Tlio new rates are in the mam old rates restored , some three years ago during Gov ernor Thayer's term of otllco the failure of crops in Nebraska necessitating an emer gency rate on corn , which has since boon rigidly observed by the railroads. The emer gency rate now gives way to a somewhat In creased ttirifl to justify the railroads In mov ing the grain.
