TAKING THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC"

Foraker & Go. a year ago promised
much from taxing the liq1Or traffic.
Accordingly, the DOW law, being the
old Scott law with new and peculiar fea-
lures, wss passed by the FOTaBer Legis
lature, and 1t was to work wonders in
the way of putting money into the local
county treasures, for their Supreme
Court would enforce the law.
Those opposed took cases under tue
law into the courts, and for five months
these test cases have been there sleep
ing. The heroic Republican judges and
managers have not heard the cases as
vet, the excuse being the absence If
Judge Johnson on account of sickness.
The same Judge, however, could be go
to sit In the case Of seating four Seas-
tors.
The word is 1t 10 to be taken up riabI
after the election, when there will be /,

Johnson cannot sit he will resign aud q

Surprising Number of Arrests for Drunk
Ahness In Atlanta,


ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 27.-There are some
queer figures in connection with the enforce
ment of prohibition in Atlanta On Satur-
day and Sunday, notwithstanding the alleged
total prohibition, there we're twenty-five ar
rests for drunkenness. 1t must be recollectsd
that The mayor, the chief Of police and the
policsmen nre ardent Prohibitionists, and as
such are anxious to make as good showing

With this end in view, it is not policy for
them to mbke any more arrests than they
are forced w Not2 outstanding this there
were twent Two cases Of drunkenness Sun
day so fagrant that arrests had to be made.
The arrests for the same days in 1Ss were
thrty-one, and in 1884 they were twenty
five. These arrests were made when whisky
was sold freely, and when, under the spur OF
q strict police commission, the police made
as many arrests as possible. Still the arrests
Sunday were more than two-thirds Of the
highest number in liquor time.

DEs MONIES, Iowa, Oct. 27.-Since the
disappearance Of Henry Peters, an important
witness in ths Haddock murder case at Sioux
City, the intimation that he had been killed
to prevent his telling tales has been nearly
confirmed On the 4th of this month the
body of stranger was found in the willow,
about mile from Crescent, near Council
Bluffs. 1t was badly decomposed, and could
not be identified. The body was buried in
the Potters Field at Council Bluffs, but an
examination Of the clothing was made, lead
ing to its almost complete Identification as
that of Peters. 1t is thought that he too was
killed by the Haddock murderers to prevent
his betraying them.

COLUMBUS OHIO, 0c,Ober 25th.-
Henry Doebler, the Republican tramp
who boiled to death little Frank Hamil-
ton, who was beautifully white washed
by the B )aId of Trustees of the Deaf and
Dumb Asylum, has come to grief and
been bounced. II seems Doebler felt so
good at his escape that he celebrated
this event by filling up with DR.. Leon
ards forbidden j1ice aud visiting the
institution. After threa, ening TO kill
several pupils and creating a general
reign of terror he was Captured and
Gagged, Even this tff4nse was not daem
cd sufficient to warrant his discharge,
because 1t had only been two days since
the fellow had been white washed by
the Board and his sins forgiven. Last
Thursday Doebler again flied up with
corn Juice and visited the institution,
striking the little children he had
charge of and abusing them shsmefully.
The next morning he WAS called up, aud
being very defiant and insolent, 6nally
worked the SIP 9rintendent up to such q
pitch that he was fired, and Henry left
TO join his Republican friends In Gin
clnnsti. This Is sample of the con-
duet Of the employees Of benevolent in.
stitutions under the Foraker reform ad
mlnistratioa. T. has since leaked out
through employees of the institution that
DOebler was under the ilfuence Of
liquor the day young Hamilton was
boiled to death.
