The new liquor law of Ohio promises to
bea great success if it is not pronounced
unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.
II taxes the liquor traffic 5000 year, eX-
cepting where wines and beers only are
sold, in favor Of which it wisely makes a
distinction by only taxing their sale 800
a year. Reports from all parts Of the
state indicate that the number Of saloons
is rapidly decreasing, though the law has
been in operation only since the 23d ult.

Skeleton Biography of the Late Judge
Timothy o. Howe.

Postmaster-General Howe died on Sunday
afternoon at the residence of his nephew, Col
onel James III. Howe, in Kenosha, Wisconsin
He contracted a severe cold week ago at
Green Bay and returned to Kenosha. He was
very i'll till Saturday when he seemed to i'm
prove. Physicians pronounced it pneumonia.
He grew worse Saturday night and sank
rapidly passing away peacefully Sunday after
noon.
Mr. Howe was born at Livermore, February
"a, 1916, and after receiving an academic educa-
ton studied law and was a limited to the bar.
He was Il member of the Legislature of the
State of Maine in 1915, in the latter part of
which year he removed to Wisconsin where he
was elected Judge of the Circuit and Supreme
courts. He was elected to the United States
Senate as Union Republican to succeed
Charles Durkee and took his seat in 1861. He
was reelected to the Senate in 1869 and 1873.
His term of Office expired March 3, 1879 Judge
Howe was rendered by President Garfield the
appointment as member OF the board of COM
mIssioners sent by the United States to repre-
sent this government in the international
monetary congress at Paris, and remained
abroad about six months, and soon after his re-
turn began to be prominently mentioned as a
possible member of President Arthur's cabinet.
In December, 1884, he was rendered the post
master generalship, which he accepted. He
strongly favored the reduction of postage
made by the last Congress, and has been largely
instrumental in securing improved mail facili-
ties throughout the country.
Many representatives of the government will
attend the funeral. Frank HattOn is acting
Postmaster General.

body were evidently signed by one person.
These cases the Grand Jury think irregular
and should be remedied.
We have visited the county Jail, and while
there were some complaints by pris-
oners that they did not have enough
to eat, are Of opinion that the complaints
are unfounded. We did not find the Jail as
clean and well kept with view to the COM
fort of prisoners as we think due regard for
the health and comfort of fellow beings, al
though laboring under unfortunate circum-
stances, would dictate. We would suggest
that every effort should be made to keep its
prem iSes clean, and the prisoners required to
wash and change their clothing often, and if
they do not have a change of clothing it
should be furnished them by the proper au-
thorities. We also suggest that the yard out
side of the Jail should be properly graded with
a view Of drainage and keeping the yard as
dry and clean as possible. This, we think,
essential to the health of the inmates.
With regard to the charge Of your honor re-
specting the suppression of gambling in pub
lie places, we are satisfied proper discharge
of their duties by the peace officers of the
county and city would have the desired effect,
and would render investigation by the grand
juries of their actions in this respect unneces-
sary, and would, in this report respectfully
and earnestly remind them that a full and
faithful discharge of their duties, without fear
or favor, would, in our opinion, 90 far to-
wards the suppression Of such violations of

FELIX SMITH DEAD.
Some Account of the Life and Career of
the Defunct Judge


kilograms from Gonzales announced the
desth of Judge Felix Smith, who died suddenly
on Sunday at Gonzales, and was buried there
on the following day.
Judge Felix Smith was born in Orange
County, in the year 1887, and was in his 46th
year. He graduated b. A. in 1859 at Chapel
Hill University, North Carolina, and went to
Gonzales. During the war he served as Cap
tain in the Confederate army, and at the close
of that struggle he studied law at Gonzales,
where he was admitted to the bar. He came
to this city i'm 1871, and i'm 1878 was elected
County Judge of Bexar County. In 1881 he
was reelected to the same office, but in 1852 he
was defeated by County Judge Mason, the ma
jority for his opponent being very small.
The deceased was married to Mrs. Luscina
Collins, of Gonzales, and leaves a family of
three children. He leHves, also, two brothers,
DR.. j. Smith, OF COrsicana, and DIR. f. H.
Smith, of Victoria, and two sisters, Mrs. Jobe
and Mrs. Renfrew, of Gonzales
Judge Smith had his faults like other men,
but no one questioned his ability as lawyer
or the honesty of his heart. He was liberal in
every way, and was deservedly respected.
The County Commissioners adjourned this
morning in respect for the dead, and the bar
will to-day pass resolutions of respect for the
deceased and sympathy for his family.

heN Captured, Ee>idr> Money and
Jewelry.

From Mr.. J. \. Tennsil, a resident Of
Cnion. Oregon, We learn the following par
tenisss OF the overland stage robbery which
occurred yesterday. J. niles southeast OF
Pendleton. and four miles from what is
called New Station, IN the Blue Mountains.
Mr. Tennell, Uho was one Of the passengers
states that the stage, on which their were
SIX passengers, one OF them being lady,
with Division Agent Barcer as driver, was
proceeding slowly mp short incline. be
twesn four and five o'clock in the morning,
when two masked men suddenly presented
themselves in front Of the horses, covered
the driver. and ordered him to halt, at the
same time commanding him TO throw down
the Wells. Fargo & Co. treasure box. These
orders were promptly complied with, and
one of the masked hiShwaymen kept the
driver covered While the other coolly pro-
ceeded to "go through" the ''brave passen-
gers" From Mr. Barne!l, travelling fer
Milwaukee beer firm, the robbers cot $40
gold watch and about $500 in CON- Aside
from this the haul was light, asgregating in
all possibly SS15 in coin and two or three
watches. The road agents returned s. 10
one OF the victims, as 4 reward for his hon
esty in yielding so promptly.
Mr.. Tennell states that II he lad been
possessed OF 4 revolver, he could have shot
both of the men. 1t was the weakest piece
OF business he ever saw, and ss lie states, he
has been ''heid up On the road several
times. he ought to be good Judge. 1t looks
queer TO us when we think tha, six staiwart
men will sl.oy themselves 10 be coolly
robbed by two read agents, with one pistol
covering the viecic-1ed party. After clean
ing the stage ont TO suit themselves, the
the highwaymen pertmptori!y commanded
the stage to ''move on, which order was
complied with at once. Upon arriving at
PendletGn, The alarm vas given and 4 sher.
ifs posse At once started in pursuit. The
loss to Wells, Fargo & Co. cannot be ascer-
tanned until the report of forw ariing agents
come in. Mail sacks which were IN the
boot " ere not disturbed
