prospective saloon keepers will be brought

the right sort of marr to engage In the busi
ness of selling drinks under the new law.
It Is thought the new law will not drive
more than a dozen saloonlsts out of the
business , and that will not materially af
fect the amount of the city's revenue.

Manawa trains made regular trips yester

nnd they carried large crowds of people , who
were curious to see the character of Im

approval of all visitors was evidenced by the
hearty expressions of pleasant surprise heard
on every side. The new Manawa bears little

While Pilling u Mtuvv.
Mrs. L. M. Bennett , wife of the night
watchman for the Wabash Railway com
pany , was fatally hurt last evening by nn
explosion of gasoline at her home on South
Seventh street. She was tilling a gasoline
stove while It was alight , and the explosion ,
which might have been expected , followed.
The blazing liquid was thrown nil over her ,
nnd her clothing caught fire and was burned
off before aid could be given. She was ter
ribly burned from head to foot , and last
evening her physician stated that she could
not live.
The "Inlmttiiblu" I'liddofoot.
Rev. W. G. Puddefoot of New York oc
cupied the pulpit of the First Congregational
church yesterday morning and evening. In
fact , he filled the pulpit , which , In view of
Dr. Askln's eloquent pastorate , Is no little
task. Mr. Puddefoot sustained his reputa
tion as "the Inimitable , " and both discourses
were decidedly unique. His purpose was to
arouse Interest and secure money for the
home mission work , but those who have n
natural aversion to the cause and attach n
certain mustlness to the very word "mis
sion" were most happily surprised to hear
the cause for once , at least , presented with
a freshneis which was charming. His word
pictures of life on the frontier , In the lum
ber and mining' regions , and In the boom
towns of this rapidly developing country ,
were characterized by such faithfulness of
detail and mlngllngs of humor and pathos
that laughter and tear ) had a close race.
Those who heard hs ! morning sermon came
again In the evening and brought their
friends , so that the church was crowded to
the llinlts.
He said that he other Sunday , In one of
the rich churches where he was called to
preach , the choir sang "Comfort Ye Zlon. "
He said ho felt like telling them to stop
singing It , not but what ho enjoyed the
music , for It was flrst-rate. but Zlon didn't
need comforting. She was the most comfort
able old body to bo found anywhere. What
ZIon needed was a shaking up , so that she
would realize her duty. His descriptions of
the heroic lives and sacrifices of those who
were seeking to establish churches In the
newly settled parts of thh country evidently
accomplished what he deemed this desirable
shaking up of ZIon , so far , at least , as this
little portion within the hearing of his voice
was concerned.
In urging activity , ho took occasion to
criticise the theology In such hymns as
"Simply Clinging to the Cross. " A Chris
tian who simply clung to the cross , as shown
In the familiar picture , with the waves
dashing all around , was pretty sure to slip
oft and get drowned. Songs of this sort
were good enough for these who wanted to
be wafted to heaven on flowery beds of ease ,
but they were the. product of such men a ?
Moody and Sanky , good men , and all right ,
but Christians should rather listen to the
words of Moody and Sanky's Master , who
said : "Inasmuch as yo liavo done It unto
one of the least of these , my brethren , yo
have done It unto me , " which were the
words chosen for his text.

Herman Parr was acquitted by the jury In
the district court at Glenwood at a late
hour Saturday night , after being out for six
hours. Parr's case has been the subject of
much Interest ever slnco the tragedy at the
crossing of the motor line and the Burling
ton railway about a year ago , In which E.
F. Holnmn met his death. Parr's arrest In
the first place was considered by many as
largely duo to the high state of feeling In
the public mind at that time against the
motor company and every one connected with
It , and the fact of hh being granted a
change of venue to Glenwood was the result
of the same state of affairs. The verdict
meets with almost universal approval ,

Two Innocent looking youths came Into
town from tome place In the country yester
day for a Sunday visit In the metrcpolU.
Their hair was somewhat afflicted with hay
seed , but In their brief stsy they had man
aged to accumulate thirst that was truly
metropolitan. They had heard how every
saloon In the city wai hermetically sealed
on Sunday , and were prepared to undergo
any amount of red tape that might bo hang
ing between them and the smell of a
schooner of lager. They accordingly tip-
Iced up to a geiitlenuit who happened to be
standing In front of a Peart street joint and
asked him to put them on to the combination.
"Go to that front door and tap It twice
this way , " said he , "and then go around to
that side door there very carefully and tap
twice again. Then stand there for a couple
tt minutes nnd they'll come and let you In ,
If they think you're all right. "
Th two young men knocked at the front
door , and then edged their way around to
the aide door with the look of a couple of
fellows who had been officiating at a sheep
stealing soiree. They were Just about to
"tap twice an-1 wait a couple of minutes , "
when jome one who knew the ropes a little
better than they walked right In past them.
They followed suit , and by the time the
couple Of minutes had elapsed they had put
themselves on the outside of the longed for
lager. They probably know more about the
beauties cf mulct liquor laws now than they
did awhile ago.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA.
fortieth Anniversary nt llnlii-inlan Slmonlr
tllf'iirvolciit Sorlcty ( VlcbruUMl.
A long procession , gay with Hags , em
broidered banners , flowers and handsome uni
forms , formed at Plvonka's hall on Twenty-
fourth street yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
The occasion was the celebration of the for
tieth anniversary of the organization of the
Bohemian Slavonic Benevolent society In
America. The members of the society of
this city and Omaha headed the procession ,
followed by the Bohemian Foresters of both
cities , the Bohemian gymnastic societies and
other organizations.
The procession marched to Brown park
and at Franek's new hall the exercises of
the day began. The Vlastlmll Singing so
ciety opened the program with a native song.
Mr. John Berka made a short Impromptu
speech , which was followed by the oration
of the day by Mr. John Roslcky , the editor
of the Pokrok Zapadu. He spoke briefly of
the history of the society , how It was or
ganized soon after the emigration of his
people began to this country , so that they
might keep alive the remembrance of their
old home , although they had adopted a new
land. He spoke of the rapid Increase In
the number of the societies during the last
few years , there now being 202 societies , with
a membership of 12,000.
There are twenty-four societies In thlb
state , making It the next to the banner state ,
Illinois having a few more. Singing by the
Vlastlmll society brought the exercises to a
close. After the celebration a grand ball
was given at the hall , where Immense crowds
congregated and enjoyed themselves until a
late hour.
Lively IJoat Fight.
Ike Brayton and Harry Jacobs , commission
men at the stock yards , each has a goat
which he has been telling could "lick" any
thing that came along. The other fellows
about the exchange building became tired
of hearing Brayton and Jacobs bltift each
other on propositions of a goat light , so ar
rangements were made Friday afternoon
whereby the two "billy boys" could come
together. All the horses were ordered off
the quarter-mile track at the yards and the
proprietors of the two goats were Instructed
to bring on their scrappers. Jim Jones said
he would go behind Brayton's goat and Ed
Cullen consented to second Jacob's buck.
Everything was made ready and about 200
stock men surrounded the circle. Council
man Walters was selected as referee and
time was called. The animals were allowed
to fight about thirty minutes and It was the
hottest contest that has taken place at the
yards for a long time. Between rounds
Jones and Cullen bathed the whiskers of
their favorites , and , although considerable
money was placed , the match was declared
a draw. It Is not unlikely that a finish
match will take place soon , as each owner
Is willing to bet that his buck can win.
Somu Curs Hum.
A fire alarm was turned In from near the
Rock Island depot In Albright yesterday
afternoon about 3 o'clock. The fire was found
to be In some box cars. They were such a
distance from the fire hydrant that over l.COO
feet of hose had to be laid before they could
be reached nnd the firemen had n hard job
to get the fire out. Three cars were totally
consumed and three others were badly
scorched , The fire caught from some straw
and refuse near the track , supposed to have
been lighted by some tramps. The damage
amounted to about $1,800.

CEDAR HAPIDS , Juno 3. ( Special Tele
gram to the Bee. ) In the district court at
Anamosa the coming week will be tried one
of the most Interesting cases which has ever
engaged the attention of the court of Jones
county , the case of the state against Emmet
Seymour for the murder of George P. Fl-
. Shortly after the
fleld , his father-in-law.
marriage of Seymour to Klflelil's daughter
the old gentleman was found ono evening
lying on the railroad tracks near his home
In an unconscious condition ; He had been
struck on the head by some blunt Instrument
and died without regaining consciousness.
A few months later Seymour was discovered
In the act of stealing lumber after night.
Upon further Investigation It was found he
had been the chief actor In a long series of
petty stealing which had long perplexed
Anamosa business men. The discovery of
these crimes and the fact that the stolen
property was concealed about Seymour's
house caused people to think that the here
tofore unsusplcloned man had been the
cause of Flfleld's death , the supposition
being that Klfleld had discovered Seymour's
crime and threatened his exposure. Sey
mour was tried for various thefts and sent
to the pen for three years. That sentence
havng | been served he Is- now to be tried
for murder. Some sensational testimony Is
promised and the case will at all events be
an exceedingly Interesting one.

Injtirlrl ,
At 4 o'clock yesterday morning Joseph
Plrchncll , 1331 South Seventeenth street ,
narrowly escaped being burned to death.
The house Is a two-story one , and In the
basement the cooking Is done. It has been
the luiblt of the family to leave the lamp
burning there during the night , as Mr.
Plichnelt Is employed at the smelters and
has to leave home early In the morning.
He got up nt t o'clock , and when he went
to the basement he found the oil had burned
out In the night. Ho nt once started to
refill the lamp , but In doing so he got the
wrong can , and Instead of filling It with
coal oil ho filled It with gasoline. Ho did
not notice his mistake till ho attempted
to light U. Suddenly the family were aroused
from their slumbers by Plrchnell's screams.
They \vcnt to the basement to find him
wrappeil In flames. One of the first to ar
rive was his 10-year-old daughter. Ho was
then trying to quench the lire on his clothes
with water. The girl seized a bed quilt and
wrapped It about him , smothering the fire.
Plrchnell's Injuries rendered him uncon
scious. His hands were badly burned , iin.l
ono foot Is so seriously Injured that ho
may bo a cripple for life.
The damage to furniture was slight.

In place of permitting hot und foul air to

be watchful and chock these tilings on the

There Is but one way Hint this can lift

It has nccdmnllsheil.
If men and uoinon would counteract the
dendly ( Terms In the water at this season of
the year by mixing Duffy's Pure Malt with ,
It , they need have little fear of low fevers
or malaria. It should be borne In mind ,
however , that It Is only Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey that will accomplish this , and that
however much dniKtflsts or tracers may nay
to the contrary , It alone can be depended
upon.
