PROHIBITION PRATTLE,
The Situation Remains outwardly Un-
changed, but Inwardly There
Is Much Going On.

1t was expected that before this some
new informations would be filed against
some of the saloon men, but non have
yet appeared. There is much discussion
however, of ways and means, all sorts
of conjectures and predictions
expressed, and each side in the
contest is interested greatly, and watch
ing eagerly every move of the opposition,
while the scores of neutrals are busy
trying % keep 30 balanced as not to fall
off the fence.
There has been much said about the
position which justices in this city would
take in case anyone desired or attempted
to file an information before them.
Justice Vaughan, the mayor, says:
"You can tell your readers that l am a
believer in THE BEES theory of high Ii.
cense, and that while | do not drink a
drop of either wine, beer or whisky, and
do not use tobacco in any form, yet / do
not believe in letting eighty business
buildings In Council Bluffs stand idle"
In other words he is not a prohibitionist.
He said that IL any one wanted to file an
information before him he should require
bonds to secure the costs, in case the
prosecution failed. These costs might
run up tn hundreds of dollars, and he
would not run the risk of having these
costs thrown onto the county, and added
to the burden of the taxpayers.
Justice Schurz, in reply to the same
question, said that in addition to the n
who signed the information, there must
be several aflidavits filed 30 that in case
of any criticism of his conduct he could
show that he had due reason to believe
they had a case. The informant must
also put up a cash deposit to pay the
costs in case the prosecution failed to
convict.
Justice Abbott said hat he would allow
an information to be filed in his court the
same as any other information, and after
the names of witnesses for the prosecu-
ton had been handed in, and there
seemed reason to believe that there wal
just ground for issuing a warrant, the
warrant would be issued.
Some of the officers said they would
serve papers. Others that they would
not.
Among the whispered reports is that
there Is a committee already appointed
to file informations against anyone who
files informations against the saloon
men. 1t is said that in some cases an
attempt will be made to have the
informants adjudged insane, in
other cases charges of vagrancy
will be preferred. In fact all sorts of
charges are talked of to be brought
against too aggressive prohibitionists.
Such are samples of the talk on the
street. There is much deep feeling on
both sides, but it is to be hoped that
moderation, fairness, and good judgment
may guide the %counsels of both.

Charles IL. a Musical King.

His Majesty was exceedingly fond of mu-
sic, which he had studied in thedays of his
exile, and in which he was more or less
proficient. The King" says Mr.. Chap
pell in his Popular Music of the Olden
Time, knew enough of music to take his
part in any easy composition, and, after
his restoration, would sometimes sing duets
with stupendous bass Mr.. Costing of
the Chapel Royal, the Duke of York, after
wards James H., accompanying them on
the guitar. The Hon Roger North says
that Charles was protested lover of mu-
sic, but of the dancing kind only, and had
an utter detestation of fancies, or other
compositions in the fuga style; and, not
the less so, from an unsuccessful entertain
ment of that kind given him by Secretary
Williamson, after which the Secretary had
no peace, for the King, as his way was,
could not forbear whetting his wit upon
the subject of the fancy music and its
patron, the Secretary. He would not allow
the matter TO be disputed upon the point of
meliority, but ran all down by saving.
Have | not earsP He could not bear any
music to which he could not keep time.
and that be constantly did to all that was
presented to him, and, for the most part,
heard 1t standing. Pepys described him as
beating time with his hand all along the
anthem, in the Chapel Royal, and DR.. Tud-
way accuses the young composers of his
chapel of having so far given way to the
Kings French taste as to introduce dancing
movements and theatrical eorantos into
their anthems. u All the Year Round.

Hepder.on threw an armfal Of wood on

! Henderson threw an armfa of wood OF
| the fire and it feaped up higher. In breath
/ less silence they bent their heads and
listened for some sound from the brave
man who was already battling with the
| rushing torrent. Presently they heard a
lusty cheer, and they knew that he had
reached the cottonwood NOTE in safety.
Henderson ran to the edge of the
black water, which was every moment
creeping higher, and shouted encouragingly
TO the hero. Kit answered him, and
guided by the latter's voice, Henderson
ran along the bank to assist him in
making landing. He could hear Kit as
he battled with the waves, and every
minute the scout neared the shore. Now
he could see him, holding the little girl
high above the muddy waves. He knelt
down and stretched out his arms Kit
came closer-another lusty stroke of his
strong arms and Henderson was
able 10 touch the child. He
lifted her to the bank and
held out his hand to Kit. The scout strug
gled manfully, but the water boiled tierceiy
about him-he lost ground-the current
carried him from the shore, and Hender-
son was powerless to aid him.
Take keer Nv Alice! God bless herW
shouted Kit, feebly, and he sank beneath
the waves.
They found the body about week after
ward on the river bank below Benticklin,
and they buried him at the foot of the big
cottonwood from whose branches he had
taken Nettie Henderson. Ike Henderson
dug the grave, and it was his hand that
carved the rude inscription on the wooden
headboard:

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

Henri Parville, in the Paris DebGt;, quotes
a reference to the singular action of oil on
waves by Theophylactes, the Byzantine
historian of the sixth century. As the
wind he says, is subtle and delicate
| thing" and oil is adhesive, unctious and
smooth" the wind glides over the surface
of the water on which oil has been spread
and cannot raise waves.
A correspondent in Engineering refers to
the small amount of power absorbed in
engine and pump friction in the published
tests of American pumping engines, and
hints that the reason may be due to the
internally packed pump plungers, by which
leakage cannot be readily detected. Equal
results, he says, are never reached in Eng
land, and thinks there is something OF the
white elephant about them.
NJ. Pasteur proposes to take from his
kennels a score of dogs which he
has treated and rendered impervious
to rabies, placing with them twenty
uninoculated dogs. He will then, in
pursuance of the experiment, get some mad
dogs, which will in the natural order of
things bite the others and if his discovery
is what he thinks it to be, the bite will
have no effect whatever upon those he has
vaccinated with the virus.
1t is said that glass is gradually beginning
to take the place of wood and iron in the
construction of bridges in England. The in
ventOr makes blocks OF glass which he
hardens by a special process. In solidity
it is said to leave nothing to be desired
The experiments already made have given
surprising results, and the cost is below
that of bridges of wood or iron Moreover
the glass cannot be injured by insects like
wood nor ruStad ike iron
The recent researches of Professor Hughes
go to support the theory that for making
the wires of electromagnetic Swedish iron
is the best that can be used. In the case of
tempering-that is, increasing molecu-
lar rigidity and the power of retaining
magnetism-the following figures are
given as useful: Crucible fine cast steel,
cooled completely in cold water, had a
magnetic capacity of Is; bright yellow, let

Sir J. Freyer inclines to the belief that,
the fact of the toothless
upper jaw, deer do actually consume their
shed horns. He picked up recently at the
deer forest at Dunrobin, Scotland, a horn
which appeared to show that it had been
in great part eaten away, and this, it
seems, was the belief also of the members
of the Geological Society of London, TO
whom he had recently exhibited She
gnawed specimen. The marks ON the horn
are such as would be made by the broad
incisors of the lower jaw, and here scien-
thc observation seems to confirm popular
opinion.
