Southern PrOhilitioutsts

The progress the anti-liquor movement
has made liz the South is attributed to
the good sense of the Southern brethren
in keeping out of State and national
politics. The fight is made within the
counties or districts, and without any
regard to party lines. There is no prc.
hibition party, and Democrats and Re-
publicans, whites and blacks, fight tC-
gether against aRother combination Cf
Democrats and Republicans. To be a
prohibitionist, therefore, does not require
one to abandon his party, and does net
arouse bitter political hostilites. TIE
fight being made by counties, the proh-
bitionists gain frequent victories where
they are strong, when in State fight
they would probably meet with defeat.
Under this system a large majority tf
the Georgia counties have been won,
many counties in Mississippi and North
Louisiana and a good third of Texas,
whereas prohibition has been beaten in
Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and Nebraska,
and is weak in Kansas and Iowa, its
supposed strongholds.-N orleans

NOT GLAD, NOR SAD.

NOT GLAD, NOR SAD.
You sang a little song to day,
1t was not sad, it was not gay,
The very theme was nigh out-worn;
Two lovers met, AS lovers may,
They had not met-since yesterday
They must not meet again-till morn,
And did they meet again, my DEAR
Did morning come and find them here.
10 see each others eyes again?
Alas. on that you are not clear.
For hearts will shift as winds will yeer.
And Love can veer like any vane.
Ah, no, l think some sudden craze,
Some bitter spite befell their DAYS
What was that plaintive minor for?
No more together lie their ways,
Remote, perhaps, the lover strays,
Perhaps the lady comes no more.
So strange the numbers sob and swell:
No, there's no guessing what befell;
1t is the sweetest song you sing!
Not sad, and yeti cannot tell
Not glad, and yet-'tis very we'll
Like Love, like Life, like anything.

In circulating among the merchants
of this city we found them very favor

Frank A. Sherman, recently postmas-
ter at Pacific Junction, was ON trial in
the federal court yesterday on the charge
of embezzlcment. 1t appears that one Of
the government inspectors, Bassett,
dropped in upon Mr.. Sherman rather un-
expectcdly one day, and inspecting his
accounts found balance due Uncle
Sam of about 800. He demanded that
the money be shown mp, and Sherman
produced from his pocket S125 went oyer
to one of his bondsmcn and got $40, and
obtained the balance from another place,
thus paying over the required amount.
The rules of the postollicc authorities re-
qulre that the cash should be in the Office,
or in an appointed depositary, and hence
Sherman was arrested for rcmbezllement.
Sherman explains the monetary condi-
ton by stating that there had been bur,
glars in the vicinity, and he did not feel
like running the risk of losing the cash
on hand, and so placed some of it in the
hands of bondsman, to be called for on
demand, and had the rest Of it mt home
and in his pocket. The evidence was
taken yesterday and the arguments will
be made this morning.

Morris Ia MObbed

Al Morris, 1.-THE reformed gambler as
he is known here, has been having Il hard
time of it in Burlington, where he has
been indulging in street preaching.
While here he dressed very dudish,
sported II silk tile and silk wipe, and in
manners and speech disgusted the COM
munity. He has been tin.horn gambler
for some years. and his record, by his
own statements has been such that he
has barely escaped the gaI!ows. While
here he banked largely on what sensa'
tlonal bad boy he had been, but had
changed his modes of life and become
earnestly engaged in saving others from
the shines into which he confessed to
have fallen. 1t was publicly stated here
that some of the saloon-men and gam
blers had given him $25 to leave the city,
and not to speak here any more, and that
he had accepted the brbe, and signed
an agreement not to disturb the city any
more. At the same time that this ar
rangement was made public in the BEE,
Morris disappeared, thus confirming the
statement. Since then he has Kept away
from the city, thus further confirming the
b elief that he was bought up for few

that the day before that date the father
and mother of the bride, Mr.. and Mrs. j.
ID. White, of Mount Carroll, Ill, had ar
rived in Omaha in search Of their daugh
ter. She was only nineteen years Of age,
and had been missing from home several
weeks. She graduated from a seminary
in June, and had been at home but Il
short time when she fell in love with n
worthless fellow of that town. The
parents tried to reason with her, but
Cupid would not listen. and soon the girl
left home, and about two weeks later the
Young man also left town. The

got together began the search, and
found them at last at the hotel in

they had been married. The girl refused
to return with her father and mother, and
the old folks eft for the east with heavy

They Were Not Robbers.

Yesterday Il peculiar case was heard
before Judge AyIesworth, the accused
being the Mayne brothers, Charles and
10, who have livery stable ut Mace
donia. They had been arrested by an old
acquaintance, +. F. Kirk, who charged
them with robbing him of his watchs
Kirk claimed that he bought the watch of
Charles Mayne, ayear or so ago, promis-
ing to pay Sl5 for it, or else return the
watch, He had pad along small amounts
on it until at the fair at Red Oak recently
he paid the balance. He met the brothers
here, and they grabbed him, on the street,
near the corner of Broadway and Pearl,
and took the watch, from him. The
Maynes told different story They de
clared that Kirk had never paid anything
on the watch, and that At Red Oak they
saw him, and he promised to have the
money the next day, put he disappeared
without paying them. He also owed for
a livery bill. When they met him here
one of them remarked that he had car
ried the watch long enough, and asked
him to let him carry it IA while He pulled
the watch out of his pocket, and handed
il to one of them, but when they tried to
take ii he pulled on the guard and in the
struggle the ring of the watch came off,
and he kept that, while they kept the
watch proper Judge Aylesworth de
cided that they had done wrong in thus
trying to get possession of the watch,
instead of trying to do so by legal pro-
cess, but they We're not highway robbers,
and should be discharged lie ordered
the watch turned over to Kirk, and the
