How Prohibition Kills Business.

Des Moines Register.
Before the meeting of the Legislature it was
plainly seen, that the saloon men had determined
to show the members of that body that prohibi-
ton could not be made to prohibitin Des Moines.
Hence a large number-but never half as large
as claimed-opene up more or less deiantly.
The sherif's force, the constables and q few
specials, supported by the Citizens Alliance, met
them, and here is a part of the result of the
brief conflict. On the West-side the places that
have been closed up are as follows: Mes. BIC.
III, 618, SOC. 604, basement of 4O1. BIG, 222, 2l3.
210, 208, liz and 100 Walnut street; 5ll and $40
Mulberry street, and 24 Seventh street, and 2l2
Fourth street. At No. 512 Walnut street
where, last spring, there was an old rattle-trap
of a building with a very bad saloon in it, there
is now a fine three-story brick block filed
with active people in legitimate lines of
business. On the East side saloons have been
closed as follows: Nos. 88, 100. 209, 300, BIT. 419
and All Walnut street, 220, All, 52l and Cos
Locust street, 115, PIG, 80 and 3l2 Fifth street,
40S and Ais Sixth street, and one at the corner
of Sixth and Court avenue. Several others were
started up away from the business portion of the
city, and died young, of which the numbers are
not known. These numbers are given so that if
any mistake has been made it may be pointed
out. There have been no new saloons started
since the war began in earnest. Injunction pro-
c~eedings have been commenced which will soon
leave Walnut and Locust streets without q
saloon, and still these streets are almost blocked
with brick, lumber and mortar which will as
rapidly as possible be put into better buildings
than any that have yet adorned them. If this is
death the city can stand more of it.

Pollard as a Dispatcher of Business.

Bozeman On. IT, Special to Minneapolis Tribune.
The new Judge, Pollard, has the reputation of
dispatching business rapidly. In fact. it is gen.
orally felt that he dispatched the late grand
jury too rapidly" The grand jury was com
posed of men of high standing in the county.
When they had been in session but a short time
a paper came before them seeking their indorse-
ment Of Judge Pollard and requesting the Sen
ate to confirm his appointment. After the paper
had been read, one of the jurymen stated that
he supposed they were there to find indictments
instead of FOR political purposes. The paper was
returned to the clerks desk without a grand
juryman's signature. After this the jury dis
agreed upon some case under their consideration.
After some attempt to go on with business. they
presented themselves before the court, and after
receiving an affirmative answer to the court
as to whether they were through with their bust
ness, the court abruptly dismissed them. with
out even requiring a report from them. They
did not visit any of the county Offices, the poor
house or the jail, as instructed to do in the
Judges charge. The whole proceeding is so out
of the line of what is ordinary, that it has ex-
cited much comment throughout the Territory.

The New California Senator.

Washfngton Post.
United States Senator from California by Gov.
SLOVENIAN, arrived last night, and surprised his
wife and son at their residence, 1435 Massachu-
sets avenue, as he was not expected before Sat
urday. He had been fourteen days on his way,
travelling over 1000 miles, but, nevertheless,
looks we'll. He went to Mexico, some three
months ago, to investigate some cattle ranches
there in the interests of the firm of Hearst. Hig-
gins & Lewis, and purchased some 160, 900 acres
OF valuable land. He would have remained un-
til the latter part of May had it not been that he
was appointed Senator. He said that he had no
idea General Miller was so sick at the time of
his death, and really understood while he was in
Mexico that the General was at his post of duty.
He was, however. in the City of Mexico when
ami he was as much surprised as were his wife
and son In this city.

The distressing sneeze. snesze, sneeze, the acrid,
watery discharges from the eyes and nose, the painful
Inflammation extending to the throat, the swelling u
the mucous lining. causing choking sensations, coughs
ringing noises in the head and splitting headaches
how familiar these symptoms are to thousands who
suffer periodically from head colds or influenza, and
who live in ignorance of the fact that a single appl-
cation of Sanford's Radical Cure for Catarrh will az
ford instantaneous relief.
But this treatment in cases of simple Catarrh gives
but a faint idea Of what this remedy will do in tbs
chronic forms. where the breathing is Distracted b
choking, putrid mucous accommodations, the hearins
affected, smell and taste gone, throat liberated and
hacking cough gradually fastening itself upon the do

in instantaneous and grateful relief. Cure begins
from the first applications. 1t is rapid, radical, permar

Orchard Work for March.

March is, ofall months, the most dific ult
one for which to assign any special work.
1t stands in the calendar as the first month
Of spring, but in the Northern States, it is
most frequently the last month of winter.
1t is the latest time to which those who
propose to plant fruit trees or small fruits,
can safely delay ordering them. Ifin doubt
as TO what varieties to plant, consult an
experienced fruit-grower in the neighbor-
hood.
A family orchard and fruit garden, should
include varieties to cover the whole season.
For an orchard near market town, good
share of early apples will pay well.
The injuries to young trees by girdling by
rabbits and mice, are numerous If any of
the inner bark is left on the wound, apply
thick plaster of cow-dung and loan, bound
on with bagging or other coarse cloth, to
keep the parts moist until they can heal.
If completely girdled, then gratis must be
inserted to bridge over the injury.
When trees are received from the nursery,
unpack them and heel them in at once, but
do not plant until the soil is well prepared.
1t is a mistake to graft old trees too
early. Wait until the buds of the tree be-
gin to swell.-American AgricnHmist for
March.

We often have illustrations of the saying
that s'Truth is stranger than fiction" We
read and shudder at what we are pleased to
call unrealistic statements of Ouida and other
novelists The incident in which Strath-
more is made to stoop down and cut lock
of hair from the head of his slain rival and
give it to the woman who prompted the
deed has a counterpart in all occurrence
which happened not many years ago in this
county, where wicked woman gave :jeal-
Gus suffer pistol and sent him out to Stay
an innocent man whom she had accused of
infidelity. In one of the most powerful of
all romances, "Jayne Ayre," we read with
incredulity of the girl who is about to be-
stow her hand on an unworthy sutton and is
restrained by hearing form but unforgot-
ten lover call hername, although he was miles
and miles away. Yet We have an authentic
statement that at the very hour, in the dead
of night, when Geo. W. Driscoll was muir
dered in Springfield, Ohio, his mother awak-
ened from her sleep and said she had heard
her son call "Mother, Mother, Mother. "She
awakened her husband and all the other
members of her household and upon their
assurance that none of them had called or
heard any one else do so, she again went to
bed, but not to sleep to arise, in the morning
and hear that miles away at the very hour
when awaked from her sleep by the Call. her
son had been murdered. -Warre,uon Vir-

The issue is now fairly made up. The
President stands before the country piano.
piled in dignity and decorum that is truly
admirable. He knows his rights and dares
deiantly to maintain them against the
threats and Vaccinations of the unscrupu-
lous Republican leaders in the Senate. The
honess and upright people of all parties are
at his back, and will sustain him.
[ What a spectacle do these hypocritical
Republican scamps present? While the
Republican, Lincoln, was President they
gave him plenipotentiary powers of re-
moval and appointment. When the Demo-
crat, Johnson, was President they enacted
law requiring him to render reasons, and
exhibit papers, in cases of removal. But
when the Republican, Grant, came into the
Presidency they repealed the law, and al
lowed him at his discretion to remove and
appoint officials. And so it continued while
the Republicans, Hayes and Garfield, were
in office. But when now the Democrat,
Cleveland, is President, they insist npon a
return to the inquisitorial process applied
to Andrew johnson. Was there ever such
gang of infamous and transparent polit-
ical oharlatans ?-Lynchbwg Virginian.

e GIRL WHO PASSED ME BY.
BY JOEL BENTON.

Fed to meet her daily, and liked her PEN
sive ways.
Her quiet modest manner, and her very win
ming face;
But was somewhat bashful, and she was
meek and shy,
And SO we met, week after week, and passed
each other by.
knew loved her somehow, as never loved
before;
Issw her at the wayside church and met her
at the store;
We often came together and to speak fain
would try,
But something filled my throat up, and let
her pass ne by.
She was widows daughter, in our little coun-
try place;
!. knew that she was dutiful, without single
u OF helplessuess or haughtiness; but. then, 1
s% was so shy
~ We never came together but she bowed and
"a passed me by.
One day got my courage up. or. got piece OF
4 news
About "another fellow" that gave my heart
the blues;
sss and, in fit of recklessness with tumult In
my eye,
sge met-and then asked her why she always
passed me by.
V.
Sghy, bless you," said the maiden, what else
Ns8 was there TO do
" n our families acquainted, al the rest was
left to you"
Then told her all my feelings, and looked IN
her bright, blue eye,
And-well-we meet quite often now: she does
not pass me by!
vi.
There was no "other fellow and our thoughts
were just the same,
And, for losing half summer had myself
to blame:
SO, learn from this, faint-hearted ones, if you
will only try.
You'll find some girl quite good enough, who
will not pass you by.

The Boycott.

The Southern Caurchnaan, the editor of
which is Rev. DR.. Sprigg, speaks as fol-
lows of the boycotting that is now prac-
ticed in Richmond
eff it be right to boycott, it is right to
be boycotted. If union men boycott non
union men, and they have the same right
to boycott them, how will it work? A
mans mill and flour, suppose, are put IN
der the boycott ban, and every merchant
who buys this flour is put under like ban;
so non union men meet (for they have the
same right to form a union as others),
and they publish to retail dealers "Unless
you do sell that -four we will not deal
with you" Here, then, are the sellers
of this flour under the upper and neither
millstones. If they sell the flour the
union men boycott them, if they do not sell
it non union men boycott them Under
such circumstances how long can business
be done? What state of society! Not
satisfied with this, suppose the non union
men who refuse to live by the pity of others,
having come to regard boycotting as evil,
and only evil, and its prime movers as de-
structive Of society, go to the different
newspapers (not to speak of others besides)
and say to them: You have boycotters in
your office; II you give employment TO such
men we will refuse to give you our adver-
tisements; will no longer subscribe for your
paper-for it is evident that if it is right to
boycott it is right to be boycotted-what
will become CT the newspapers? They can
not live without patronage; SO they die as a
matter of course, and their compositors and
pressmen die with them, are turned adrift,
no work for them now; and as they have no
intention of starving and letting wives and
children starve, then come riot and blood
shed, and it may be, revolution. But this
is the very thing no man wants save Most
and the atheist anarchists. As we desire
to live, so we desire to let others live, as we
desire justice to others, we want like justice
for ourselves. We beg our fellow-men,
therefore, to cease, of their own conscience,
an evil which, if universally practiced,
means the dissolution of society and tho
destruction of the State"
