TO TEST THE MULCT LAW.

Kptlln the Question.
DES MOINES , Nov. 27. ' ( Special Tele
gram. ) In the district court today hcarlnj
was begun In the case of State against J
and Sophia Pressman , who are running i
saloon under the mulct law. This la aug
mcntcd by several motions , bills of cxcep
tlon , and other matters , by which the casi
Is practically made a test case to decldi
OB to the validity of the mulct salooi
licenses.
Injunction proceedings were brough
against the place by John Marl In and J
D. Law. In their petition they claimed tha
the saloon was being run Illegally and un
lawfully , , because the resolution of 'consen
was Invalid for the reason that the petition !
circulated and filed with the county audltoi
wore Irregular and dJd not contain the ful
number of names required by law. Thi
force of this argument Is not , therefore
limited to this one saloon , but the whole Us
of over fifty saloons would be affected bj
any rulings of court as to the validity o
these petitions. The ruling of the court wai
agalnat the motion of the defense to compo
the state to show wherein the petitions an
defective , and the burden of proof Is thui
thrown on the defense , which Is conslderei
a severe blow to the saloon Interests
Evidence was submitted this afternoon , bu

Spurry declined to grant liquor permits ti
three druggists who were applicants. Thi
saloon men are said to have furnished evl
donco against a score of druggists for sell

association will begin Injunction proceeding
against the proprietors of about twenty drui
stores and the premises occupied by then
to restrain them by Injunction from selllni
liquor by the drink or for any purpos :
other than those named In the pharmacls

there. A suit ot clothes and $25 was the
loss at this place. Edwards had represented
that ho Intended to , open a barber shop on
the next corner and would stay at the hotel
until he started up In business. Ho went
upstairs to hla room , came down again with
a different suit of clothes on , engaged In a
short conversation with the proprietor and
then departed and never returned. He left
bahlnd him , however , a shirt marked with
the name of O'Hara or O'Kern. The police
have also received Information that a hotel
In Council Bluffs was robbed In the same
way.
Yesterday the police ran across a chap
named Jack O'Hara and arrested him , think
ing that he was the man that was wanted.
Mrs. Read of South Omaha was told of the
arrest and notified to come to this city to
Identify the man. When she got on a car
she noticed a man sitting In a corner whom
she Immediately recognized as the man who
had committed the larceny at her hotol. She
said nothing until she aaw Officer Glover and
then had him arrested. Edwards was very
drunk , and that probably explains w.hy he
did not .recognize Mrs. Read.
Edwards waa Immediately recognized by
the police as a man who had been arrested
here about three years ago for a slmlllar
larceny committed In Council Bluffs. For that
offense he was sentto Fort Madison for two
years. He will probably be .taken to Council
Bluffs or South Omaha , because the thefts
committed at either of those places were
larger than the one reported here.

Goes a * Lieutenant Colonel ot Thirteenth.
liifmitry to Fort Niagara.
Major William Worth , one of the most
popular officers at Fort Omaha garrison , re
ceived Information yesterday that he had been
promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel
of the Thirteenth Infantry , now stationed at
Fort Niagara , N. Y. This will necessitate
the removal ot Major , or Lieutenant Colonel ,
Worth from Omaha , a fact which will be
regretted by his large circle of friends.
Major Worth has been stationed at Fort
Omaha for a considerable length of time , and
has become quite well acquainted with the
civilians who frequently visit the fort. He
Is a genial , unaisumlng gentleman , who be
lieves In strict military discipline. His
trouble with a private , named Cedarqulst ,
who refused to participate In rifle practice on
Sunday , some time ago , and subsequent court
martial and exoneration are still fresh In the
minds of Omaha people. Lieutenant Colonel
Worth has not yet received his orders as to
when he Is to report for duty at his new post ,
but will probably receive the Information

"Two recent opinions handed down from the
Nebraska supreme court are likely to create
considerable woe In a certain class of capital
ists who make a living by purchasing real
estate at delinquent tax sales , " remarked
Attorney L. C. Burr ot Lincoln yesterday ,
who la In the city taking care of a number of
cases In the federal court. "In one opinion
the court held that no title was perfect unless
It bore the seal of the county treasurer.
Naturally this decision Impelled a great many
people to examine their tax titles and all
were considerably surprised to learn that
none of them bore the treasurer's seal.
They were still more surprised to learn by
a decision handed down by the court at the
same time that under the statutes
of Nebraska the county treasurer.Is .
not required to have a seal. The court has
held that the man who pays up the delin
quent taxes upon a piece of real estate with
a view to securing a title to the property Is
reckoning without his host. The law will
see that he has a lien on the property far the
money he has paid , but he cannot secure a
title to It. "
"Tho Ancient Order of United Workmen
Is making a special effort to relieve any
cases of destitution that may exist In the
membership of the Nebraska jurisdiction. "
eald Grand Master J. G. Tate at the Mlllard
hotel lost evening. "Wo find that a great
many of the members of our order living In
the western part of the state are In need
ot assistance. They live In the sections upon
which hardly an ear of corn was raised dur
ing the past season. They are worthy of
assistance and the grand lodge proposes to
take care of Its own members as far as It Is
able to do so. In order that , more funds '
may be expended the annual session of'the
grand lodge for this year has been abandoned
and the sum of | 8,000 has been appropriated
from the trearury to be expended In the
work. In addition to this wo are receiving
money from private subscriptions and hope to
raise $12,000 moro from our lodge member
ship In the more prosperous parts of the
state. I have undertaken personally the
supervision of the relief work and will re
ceive applications for aid and Investigate
them. I have been very successful EO far In
securing material assistance from the rail
road companies In the matter of greatly re
duced freight rates on supplies for destitute
members ot the order. "
Moll Jay of Dakota City , general attorney
for the Pacific Short line , and at
the recent election a candidate tor
the state legis'ature , Is In the
city for a tew days , attending federal court.
Mr. Jay was defeated by hla populist op
ponent. Nick Fritz , but the plurality by
which Fritz secured the election certificate
which entitles him to draw postage stamps
and stationery from the state for three
months was so narrow that Jay has given no
tice that he proposes to contest , Fritz te-
cured a plurality on the face of the returns
of sixty-seven votes. Mr. Jay said to The
Bee last evening that Fritz secured his
plurality In the Wlnnebago district and the
Indians were voted for htm to a man. "I
beat Fritz by forty-seven votes In his own
precinct , " said Mr. Jay , "and I propose to
show that he secured his election by fraudu
lent practices. The proof Is abundant and
I will present U to the legislature In due
time. "
Rev. L. P. Ludden , secretary of the State
Relief commission , was In the city for a while
yesterday afternoon to consult with local offi
cers of the commission. Mr. Ludden had
chargeof the purchase and distribution of
supplies In the winter ot 1890-91 , and handled
several thousand dollars' worth of supplies
and acted as the disbursing agent for the
state , expending the $200,000 appropriated by
the leglsleture. His system of accounting
was the best ever devised. He stated yester
day that the necessity for on extensive eyi-
tem of relief work this winter was growing
more and more apparent every day , and that
unless the moU efficient measures were taken
at area the tuffo. Ing In the wcitern and n r h.
western part of the state would be- beyond

and favorably known throughout the country
for many years as a star on the vaiidcvllli

rare originality won for him a national repu
tatlon. The late Dion Bouclcault a shon
tlmo before his death attended a performance
of W. A. Brady's "After Dark" company , am
when asked by Manager Brady what hi
thought ot Gaylor's acting , replied : "I llki
him ; ho Is a comedian free from vulgar mcth

portions of serious determination and qualn
humor. Jim Radburn , In his pathetic mo
ments , calls tears to the eyes , and In hli
humorous scenes convulses the audience will
