From the Omaha Bee.
Prohibition has been in force in Iowa a
little more than five months. Its distin-
gushing features have been three-fold-
the reduction of the revenues of cities
and towns, the increase of taxation, and
the continued sale of liquor openly or
under various DISCUSSES. The cities in the
Missouri valley license the traffic under
such aimsy titles as pop" or ginger
ale and secure a revenue varying from
5000 to 5000 a year. On the eastern Dor
der, however, the temperance sentiment
is much stronger, and prosecutions have
been carried on vigorously and bitterly.
Yet this has not succeeded in preventing
the sale of liquor or materially reducing
the work of police courts. 1t has driven
the traffic into the hands of men who do
not scruple at the means employed to Sc
cure the ends aimed at, and they have
thus far succeeded in evading the law
without contributing one dollar in taxa
ton to the support Of the cities.

The GANG At WORK.
Robbers Make a Raid on a Fsrgu-
son Street Residence.
Mrs. Draper Discovers a Burglar
in Her Room.
The Method of the Robbery, and
the Things Stolen.

About 4 O'Clock yesterday morning the
residence Of Mr.. George A. Draper, on
Ferguson street, was entered by burglars
and considerable valuable jewelry was
stolen. At the time mentioned Mrs.
Draper was aroused by a noise, and upon
awakening she detected a burglar in her
apartment. She at once called MI.
Draper, who was sleeping in an adjoining
apartment, w%hereupon the burglar fed.
Mr.. Draper heard the call, and at once
arose and wont into the main hallway in
the second story, off of width both his
apartments and those of Mrs. Draper
open. There he was met by his wife,
who held a lighted match in her hand.
No intruder was visible, however.
1t seems that the burglar, or burglars,
effected an entrance by placing a short
board against the north side of the house.
By stepping upon the board they were
able to reach the window of the lower
story, and a window of the library was
raised, and admittance was hui obtained.
The lower floor was evidently carefully
examined before a raid was made through
the sleeping apartments, and a rear door
was opened, in order to have a convenient
place of eGress ready, in case of emer-
gency. Mr.. Diapers room was visited,
and his watch, a valuable one, was found
in his vest, which hung just above his
pillow, and not over a foot from his head.
The vest was taken, and after being ex-
amined, was flung upon the floor.
Proceeding then to the apartments of
Mrs. Draper, the burglar ransacked tho
room. In the dressing case was a blind
drawer, but this had thoughtlessly
been left partially open. In it a
watch belonging to Mr.. Draper, a watch
and chain of Mrs. Diapers, a pair of
bracelets, a chain and locket and a set of
jewelry were found. These were taken
and the burglar was still examining the
dressing case when Mrs. Draper partially
awoke. Her movements alarmed the
burglar who at once retreated, but in do
ing so he made a little noise which caused
Mrs. Draper to detect his presence. He
made his escape through the kitchen
door.
The entire value Of the articles stolen
will approximate only about $500 but the
set of jewelry taken was a wedding pres
ent to Mrs. Draper from her husband and

The entertainment at the Second Bap-
fist Church last evening was a success.
One Of the interesting features of the
event was the cake walk" When it
was announced hat the contest for the
cake would begin several young couples
took places on the floor. The contestants
went through the ordeal with enthusiasm
and not a little grace. After the various
couples had paraded, the judges met in
solemn c~onclave and rendered their decis-
ions. The prize and the cake was
awarded to Mr. Ashford and Mss Mat
tison, who were thus declared the most
graceful walkers in the contest.
The entertainment continued until a
late hour. A number of white people at
tended and witnessed the cake walk.

A CARNIVAL OF FUN.
Leavitt's Specially Company a De-
cided Success.
A Matinee Performance to be Given
To-Day.

There was no blood on the moon last
night at the Opera House. The New
Gigantic Specially Company with Abe
Leayitt as manager held high carnival
and high tragedy wa at a discount.
Owing to the late arrival of the Eastern
train the company did not reach town
until 7:l5 o'clock and the commencement
ofthe entertainment was thus unavoidably
delayed until almost Q o'clock. When
the curtain rose Miss Lillian White and
Mr.. Frank A. White in their very clever
sketch On he Frontier, or the Nelo Coach
man, put the audience in good humor.
Their representations were exceedingly
funny.
The juggling fcats of Vatican won
abundant commentator, the last feat
bringing universal applause.
Pat Reilly followed with some amusing
Irish absurdities and with some still more
amusing and instructive caricatures with
crayon.
The Fletchers on rollers delighted the
very many who just now are infatuated
with that mode Of exercise.
Miss Isabel Ward gave with marvellous
skill a most novel and full musical enter
tainment.
John Fielding's Josh q. Beck" was
a good reminder of Uncle Joshua Whit
comb" and while he does not come up to
hat great master of New England sim
plicity and innocence, he is still quite
fresh and somewhat funny. Maggie
Fielding was very good.
The Olympic Quartette, both as song
sters and as colored cadets, in their drills,
marches and songs, were general favorites.
Frank Bush, as a mimic and imperson-
ator, is inimitable, and his rapid and com
plete transformations of character with the
aid Of so few exterior appliances, was
really a work Of art.
Madame Dorina and Signor Rigoli, as
gymnasts, held the audience ~spellbound
with their wonderful feats. Madam Do
rina gave a marvellous exhibition of
strength.
The farce The TioO Bd,7ieys lost much
Of its force by the rapid manner with
which it had to be rushed through so as
to close the entertainment at a seasonable
hour. Manager Rhodes unwittingly CON
tributed much to the humor of this
sketch.
Taken in its entirety, the Leavitt Spe-
cialty entertainment could not well be i'm
proved on, and at their matinee, which
they will give this afternoon, a perform
ance which will be without doubt one of
the most enjoyeble th~eatre-goers will have
an opportunity Of witnessing for n long
time, will be given.

The Cheyenne LEADER, of November
%, in a short but well written sketch,
gave a review of the life of one Wahula,
an educated Indian, as he found it in
Cheyenne. In the sketch the editor Of
this paper figures conspicuously as one of
the chief actors in an episode or two. In
justice to ourself and in the interest of his
tory, we would say that Wahula came
from the Pine Ridge agency, endorsed by
the Episcopal authorities there. and when
we saw the towering form Of Rev. DR..
Rafter overshadowing him, we supposed
him all right. But our experience has
taught us to disregard significant winks;
ecclesiastical overshadowings, and all
other outside appearances, no matter how
rose colored they may look.
