ings Of the system IN nearly all the
counties, and makes detailed reports as
to every city and town of over 300 in
habitants. A summary of his discover
les shows that since the law prohibiting
the sale of liquors went into effect the
number of places In the State where
liquor Is sold openly has increased from
] ,806 to 1887, while over 400 dealers are
selling by the side-doOr device. The
change for the worse has naturally been
most marked in the cities. Des Moines,
the capital, had reduced the number of
its saloons under a high-license law to
go, while under prohibition 1t has 175;
in Dubuque the increase has been 126;
and the number of liquOr-sellers has in
creased in greater or less degree In al
most every city. Waterloo, a place of
8, 500 people, whichis one of the very
few exceptions, has reduced the num-
ber Of saloons from 90 to 16, but this
has been done by allowing their ex-
istence and then levying upon them
an annual tax of 1915, for which there
is of course, no warrant in the law.
There are plenty OF villages where
liquor is not sold, hut they are places
where public sentiment prevented
liquor-seling without prohibitory
law, while in the cities, where restric-
tiOn upon the traffic is most needed, it
was never so free as under nominal
prohibition. The wiser PrOhibitionists
are themselves coming to recognize the
failure of their scheme for its object of
diminishing intemperance, and al
though the Fusionists failed to carry
the Legislature upon the platform of q
license law, there is believed to be q
chance that a local-option system may
be substituted. - The Nation.

"How Grant Marched Against Mark

The New York Sun calls attention to
the curious fact that Mark Twain's ar

1t appears that the only time that Gen

he had to meet the little army in which
his future publisher was private. At
Palmyra, Grant, then colonel, was or

Harris, who was said to be encamped
at the little town of Florida, some TWEEN

General Grant tells how his heart kept
getting higher and higher as he APP
preached the enemy, until he felt it in
his throat, but when he reached point
where he expected to see them and
found they had fed, his heart resumed
its place. Mark Twain was one of the
enemy and that he and his fellow
soldiers were equally frightened ap-
pears In his frank confession in the
December Century. The difference be-
tween the two soldiers was that Mark
Twain was thrown into trepidatiOn

GIVEN TO THE PLANES.
The Awfai vcngence Visited Upon q
Negro Murderer By an Enraeed
u Mob I'm Alabama.
Burned TO Death Near the Spot where
His Crime was Committed.

MOBILE, Ala, Dec. 2S.--AIexandel
Reed who murdered Miss Carrie Boyel
at Gainestown, Clark county. was cap
tured Friday near Caffelville on
Rhodes plantation. Reed was taker
by two negro men. Whites and blacks
had Joined in the search, and the rivel
banks had been secured, and every
avenue of escape cut off. The blacks
were as eager as the whites to catch the
murderer. When captured q guard was
placed over Reed, who was placed In
chains and marched to Gainestown.
DEMANDING THE MURDERER's LIFE.
People along the road demanded that
Reed should be lynched but the guard re.
piled that he must be taken TO the scene
of his crime. The guard, then number
Ing two hundred men, reached Gaines
town with the prisoner at O'Clock
Sunday morning. The negro main
tained sullen silence till Sunday, when
he confessed his guilt. Then he said
that he had not intended to kill the
young lady, but that his gun went of
accidentally and wounded her. Seeing
that he was in for 1t anyhow he beat
our her brains with the stock of his
gun.
MOST ATR0CIOUs CRIME.
The crime 1t will be remembered, was
one of great atrocity. Reed assaulted
the young lady while she was walking
home after having visited friend near
Gainestown. He concealed himself
with his gun by the road side and
sprang on the young lady as she passed
through strip of woods. She resisted,
and was too strong for him to carry out
his purpose. He then struck her with
his fist and gun.
THE VICTIMS BRAVE RESISTANCE.
The brave girl fought him until he
shot her and murdered her by striking
her repeatedly after she fell.
After the arrival of Reed and the
guard at Ginestown, 1t was evident that
but short shrift would allowed, About
2 O'Clock in the afternoon a crowd of
five hundred persons, white and black,
took the prisoner out on the road near
the spot where the murder had been
committed and chained him to tree.
SLOWLY BURNT TO DEATH.
AS the flames shot upward the negro
gave shrek of agony: The crowd
seeing the smoke and flames develop
ing him did not wish him to die so
easily. They scattered the branches
and the man was seen writhing in ago
ny. Once more pile of light wood
was constructed and the flames sprang
up briskly, scorching the negro terri
bly,. Before they became fatal, howev-
er, they were again subdued, and again
the doomed wretch was seen convulsed
with terror and pain.
The third time the pile was lighted it
was allowed to do its work, and the
body of Reed was completely reduced
to ashes. The crowd then dispersed to
their homes.
