MEMBERS ARE SAID TO LEAN BOTH WAY Want < o Enoonrnge the Fort Dnil & Uiuuha Hood and at the Same Time Want to Protect ItlKht * uf Property Owner * . The special committee to which was n lerred for examination and amendment U ordinance submltled by Ihe Fort Dodge Omaha railroad , providing for the vacatlo of certain streets , avenuea and alloys , hi as yet done little or nothing with the ma1 ter. The committee has not got togethe and beyond informally discussing the qun tlon , the members have reached no decli Ion as to in what respect the ordlnanc hould be amended. Uiiless the commltt < lakes some action today , it will not t ready to report at tba adjourned counc meeting tonight. City Attorney Wadswort stated yesterday that he did not believe thi the committee would be prepared to repo ; in any event tonight , and that the counc meeting would have to be postponed unt v It was. The committee Is In somewhat of a pri dlcament , and hardly knows what to rccon mend. While on the one hand it realize that every cnouragement should be given tt Fort Dodge & Omaha road to enter Counc Bluffs , and thai it should have the sari trackage and depot facilities as tbe othi roads , still on Ihe olher hand , the men bera of the committee feel that properl owaers in the immediate vicinity of tl streets sought to be vacated have rlgh which must be protected , and further , thi the city should receive a reasonable coi ( deration in return for granting the prlv Ugee sought by the railway company. Committee Require * Certain Thing The committee Is In favor of so amendlt the ordinance that it will contain a claui providing that Ibe railway company aha In return for the granting by the city < the privileges asked tor , agree to spend certain sum of money on a passenger depa which will he an ornament to the oltjr , at expend olher money in Improvements of like nature. It also believes that before tl city vacates the streets and avenues as ask < for , some provision should be made requl : Ing the railroad company to protect tl crossings at the Intervening streets. As the Fort Dodge & Omaha road owl all the lotsin the plat of Burket plac there can be no objection to the vacation the streets and alleys running through I Under the law , as It owns all the lots the plat , It has the right to vacate U streets. There Is little or no opposition the vacation of avenue * H , I , J and K , . all these thoroughfares are already closi at Twelfth street by the yards of the Norti weslorn railroad. Almost as little objectle Is raised against the vacation of avenue as thla thoroughfare west of Thirteen street Is practically eloeed to traffic by tl tracks of the motor company. The pri clpal objection to the closing of thta po tlon of avenue A oomes from , the Lai Manawa Railway cmpany , which claims ce tain franchise rights therein , but tt is question whether the Manawa company h not already forfeited whatever rights it m ( have held under its franchise through fal ure to extend its line as agreed. There Is. however , considerable oppos tlon to the city vacating Avenue C , as affords a highway for east and west traf that Is valuable because the next aven north does not run through. It Is cxpecl this will be compromised by tbe city vaca ing Avenue D In place of C. The Fc Dodge & Omaha road people cay that la absolutely Imperative that one of t two avenues at this point be vacated so to afford them standing room for the freight trains. Without one of tbe avenu being vacated the company would all t time be compelled to cut Its trains in tv Location of Depot * . The company expects to build Its frelg depot facing n Twelfth street so that will cover more than a block In length. 1 passenger depot , as already noted , will fa on Thirteenth street , with the south e abutting on Avenue A. The moat strenuous opposition to t ordinance comes from those property ewers ers who have lots abutting on the avenu ought to be vacated and in Ihe blocks a Joining. They Insist that the council shot take no action looking to the vacation these streets end alleys until a scllleme between them and the railroad company h been reached. The company has acqulr practically all of the property in the bloc Immediately abutting on the avenues souj to bo vacated , but there are fifteen on lots that still belong to private parti These the owners declare they are ported willing to sell , but that the Fort Dod & Omaha railway people are not wllll to purchase at the price asked. On the one hand it is said that the pric aaked are reasonable and on the other t railway people say they are not only I high , but ore exorbitant and further I sinuate thai Ihese property owners t playing a game of "hold up.

Judge Rothrock's death brines back fre in my memory of the past his many pub : and private acts , which attest his true n blllly of character , his Innate devotion truth , Justice and undlmmed Integrity' purpose. There were no flaws In the moulding his moral. Intellectual and personal mak up. His devotion to principle and moi rectitude was without ostentation or Phai salsm. but because he had woven into eve fiber of his personality a practical and < absorbing devotion to what was right , a : his worthy life was a perpetual benodlctlc In private as In his public career. His domestic life around his home flroslc with a wife whom he adored and chlldr whom ho loved , nnd for whom ho lived a : concentrated his life the only real retail of a husband and father that discloses wh ho really Is , because duplicity cannot be su cessfully practiced there by huiba : and father he exemplified In the hlgbc degree bis nobleness of character. Ci more than Ihls be said of any man ? Le than thle could not Justly be said of hli His married life was Indlssolubly Inter.vovi with that of bis beloved wife , and the ti wore one and Inseparable. A few yea ago Mrs. Rolhrock died In southern Cal fornia. and death's dart that took her fro him was the same dart that has at la taken him to her. From that time his mil and memory followed her into the beyon where he now has gone to Join bar 'In blissful reunion never again to be broke His life was the full fruition of the Chrl tlan life , for he fed the hungry , clothed tl naked , visited Ihe sick , and lo no one d he do an Intentional wrong. Judge Rothrock and myself were bo from Ohio ; ho from Hllisborough and from Bryan , and In the fall of 1860 about t same time , landed In Tlpton , strangers everybody In that little city and lo ca other , both looking for location In which practice our profession. Tbe rumblings treason in Ihe south absorbed the attentl of everybody , Irade and traffic were par lyzed , and nothing but tho'Impending co fllct was thought of or talked of. so : drifted logelher and spent that winter Tlpton , feeling helpless , homeless ai friendless as strangers In a strange Ian among strange people , with very limit means of support , hunting for buslne when there was no business lo be foun Wo therefore had nothing to do but to ta of the future , which seemed dark , gloon and unpropltlous. The friendship lhal Ihi sprung up between us was more than friendship on my part , tt was nn unalloy admiration for the beauties of his cbara ter. We were both young then , but In : these years tbe attachment then formed , t admiration I then gave to his sterling qua ties has never faltered or faded. We were afterwards again brought t ( tether by hie being elected Judge of t old Eighth Iowa Judicial district , from Tl ton , and I as district attorney of the san district , from Anamosa. For several yea we together traveled the district , occup Ing rooms together , In which relation n admiration for him became broadene widened , deepened and Intensified. He was a most manly roan , a perfect ge tleman , a true friend , an uncompromlsli patriot , a devoted husband and father , ev abounding In truth and justice. During the thirty-six years of his Judlcl career on the bench no breath of susplcli was ever raised against his Judicial hon and Integrity. It could not be , because : was Intrenched upon the rock of honesty 01 uprightness. Hie decisions while on the s prcme bench of that stale are quoted wl approval before all the courts of the land models of correctness and judicial learnlr The'i1 > ar"'tol.'theUrilfed ' "Statwr ; knows - * : arid whVt 'Judge Rothrock 'was as a Jurist his many Incomparable opinions on questlo of public policy and private rights. Tl could not be otherwise , because hla guldli thought was over along the lines of just ! < truth and rluhteousnes * . In hla death we have lost a wise cou seller , a true friend , a Juat man. an ucrls Judffo ; but his work will live after him Thcoo never die ; death's darfs cnnno reach Ihemj Ihey live on and on , growlni brighter nnd brighter evermore. CUNNINGHAM R. 6COTT. nO/K IN HONOLULU. IlrgnlnUon of Snloonn nnil tlrcne Home Mnde nnd Imported Drink * . A correspondent of the Now York Sun wrlllng from Honolulu , U. 8 , A. , says ; Ltncenees lo sell liquors of all kinds , sa loon Itconics , In short , are Issued on Iho pay mcnt of a fco of 11,000 n year In advance Saloons must close at 11:40 : p. m. and imm not open before 6 a. in. and , like all othe business houses except restaurants , mus keen closed nil day on Sunday. These ro qulrcmcnts arc observed. There arc com paratlvely few communities In the Island largo enough to make a saloon under thcs condition * profitable. There are fourteen li Honolulu , Island of Oahu ; one each In La halna , Walluku and Knhulul , Island of Maul tlirco In llllo. ono In H.iriiakua and ono ti Kobala , Island of Hawaii ; twenty-two In all The last legislature passed what Is know : as Iho llghl wlno and beer act , which au thorlzes the Issnio of not to exceed three U censes , at $260 a year , In each Judlclc district , to sell light wines , beers and nle only six days In the week , between the hour of 7 a. m. and S p. m. There are twenty-Are judicial districts I the Islands and an exception was made c the district \\blch Includes Honolulu nn which Is entitled to nltio such licenses. Thcs licenses have all been Issued , there bcln about three applicants for each. All th places licensed have not yet been openei At the most , Ihcreforc , there arc In th Islands not to exceed 103 places where intox Icatlng drinks can be cold. The populatlo of the Islands Is about 110,000 , Including na live Hawnllans , Japanese , Chinese , Porlu guose , oilier Europeans and their descend ants , Americans and their descendants. Before the advent of the light wlno an beer saloon the twenty-two full-license saloons were not the only places where llqut could be obtained. Every bathing reset along the Walhlkl beach sold liquid rcfresli mcnts in a semi-clandestine manner. I every plantation village and at every sci const landing some place could be foun and thai without much trouble where bee usually warm , or a drink of "equaro face , as gin Is colloquially called , could bo ol tnlned. In addition to all this the Japancs of whom there arc between 30.000 and 40 000 In the Islands , obtained their nation : beverage , eakl , Ihrough certain Japai cso Importers , who distributed It I their customers In original packages. Th branch of the traffic was a concession parti by way of compliment to the nation thi was supplying so large a proportion of tl sugar plantation labor of the Islands at partly because when Hawaii was an Indt pendent but defenselws sovereignty Japs kept a man-of-war in Honolulu harbor. Still the native Hawaiian does not alwa : go thlrsly. Even In Ihe Allce-ln-Wondc land country , where beer cosls two bits glass and the best cigars C cents apltc he has always managed to got some shai of the exhilaration of Intoxication. Wli awa ( pronounced ah-vah ) , swipes ai okolchao ( oh-koh-ly-how ) , the 30,000 natlvi who represent the population of 300.000 th Captain Cook found hero whence discovert the Islands 100 years ago , manage to fu nlsh their quota of Iho drunks who nnd Ihe way to the courts. Of fh so three kinds of drinks only on In the countr awa , has any legal standing Awa was In use for centuries before the ml slonarlcs came. It Is the fermenled produ of Iho awa root. The original method manufacture was for a family or a compai of friends to sit around a calabash , eai ( hewing a piece of the rool. When ma tlcated sufficiently It was thrown Into calabash nnd another piece of the root tak < up. When a suffictentquantlty had thua bc < prepared , water was added and It was s aside lo ferment. It Is said that this prln itive method bas been generally suporsedi by pounding or grinding Ihe root , but this no ono who has merely used the mam factured product Is qualified to spsak. Tl test of prime quality Is still that one mi drink of It to twenty-four hours' of ui consciousness , wake up to seemingly perfe sobriety end 'Without swallowing anoth drop secure a repetition of the first offec by merely taking a cold balh. The trai in awa root is a licensed monopoly granti by the government as a means of reveni and is now held by Chinese. Anyone m : purchase awa root from a licensed deal and manufacture for his own use. So mui did the missionary spirit concede aboriginal habit and custom , and no go ornment in late years has Ihoughl It nccc sary or politic to interfere with the old a rangomcnt. Swipes postdate the Chrlstlanlzntlon of tl ilslands. Swipes cause the police mo trouble than all other police court facto put together. If you ask an experlenci police court magistrate what the stuff made of he will reply by asking you wli It Isn't made of. In Its purest state it fermented from taro , rice , bread crust < anything else that contains starch. Bi fermentation from such materials Is too slo a process to meet Ihe emergencies In wh'i swipes are called on. The native In his di mcatlc and primitive social life hasn't tl forethought to sot his taro fermontit against'the time when he 'will be called < to extend hospitality to some cbanco visile or provide a luau for his neighbors wl unexpectedly call. Tbe emergency arle and to meet It he goes to some Chlnamt or renegade Hawaiian who has descended the degradatlon'.of avarice and for a quart gets a generous bottle of as vile a con pound as ever wrecked a sound constltutlc or deranged a nervous system. To a bas of fermentel taro has been added kerosen cayenne pepper , fusel oil and methylali spirits , till an oblivion of Intellect , accoir panted by maniacal combatlveness , quick follows Its use. It is a most dlsastroi drink , as many of the soldiers who atopp < here on their way to Manila and accepU Ihe hospitality of cbanco native Hawailo acquaintance found lo their Borrow. Swlpi have no legal standing except Ihe inovltab certainty of a fine In tbe police court fo lowing their use. Their manufacture ac sale' are strictly prohibited by law. There Is not a Hawaiian , native ( "haole , " who does not warm with pride i okolehao. It Is Iho ono Indigenous llqui of which ho can be proud. His feeling f < U is like that of the Kentucklan for whlak When properly made , and It Is only wlic properly made thai 11 Is okolehao ; It Is tl purest of Intoxicants , and freest from otlu and 111 effects , u is the typical Hawalln product , and the ono oftenest taken abroa by traveling Islanders as tbe exemplar < the perfection attainable In this paradise ' Iho Pacific. Awards from the Columbia exposition at Chicago and the Paris expc sltlon of 1889 attest Its merltfl. Whether a islander is a drinking man or nol ho b : only pralao for okolehao. Vel every dro of okolehao dlalllled from the reel Is dli lllled Illicitly. U is moonshine liquor , bi such clear , glorious moonshine ! Oul of pui patriotism Hawaiian officials do not Intel fere with Its manufacture , except when it entered upon as a money-making bus ness. How He Write. Them.

In some cases the fruit may .bo allowed as often ns three or four limes ii day , If necessary to relieve an vn- comfortable sensation of emptiness In fevers , fruits , especially In the form of fruit Jttlcca , nro u most convenient and certainly the most appropriate of all foods. It Is now nlmost universally recognized that beet tea and meat preparations of all sorts should bo wholly prescribed In cases of fever , as the patient Is already suffering from the accumulation of waste matters to such a degree that the addlliou of oven Ihe small nmounl contained In beef tea or a small piece of meat may bo sufficient to glvo rise to nn exacerbation of the disease and lessen the patient's chances of recov ery.
