Des Moines, To-, special, June 10: In the
cases Of q. J. Gray against j. p. Steiner,
Henry handkerchief and Theodore Elskamp
and others, appea,eI from the decision OF
Judge C. Ii. Lewis of the P,ymonth district
court, the Iowa supreme court has again
put itself on record in favor of the rigid en-
forcement of the prohibitory laws. The
actions were for injunctions against the ss-
loon. keepers and the owners of the build
ings and the premises. No appearance was
made By the saloon keepers, but the owners
fled demurrer and an answer. The ap-
plication was made in vacation for tenn
porary Injunction, and was denied. The
supreme court reverseddecision of the the
district court, Judge Adams giving the
opipiOp. He laid stress on leasing the
premises for the unlawful sale of liquors as
being wrongful, notwithstanding the fact
the lease did not in terms slow that tbey
were to be used for the purpose. The occu'
pants CARRYING on an unlawful business fOr-
feited all right to the premises as against
the owners, who might have enjoined them.

Prevented From Preaching.

WLKEsBARRE, Pa, June 13. John
Daley, who recently abiured Catholicism,
attempted to preach in River park this
afternoon, but was prevented by mob of
3 900 including some of the toughest element
of the mining region, who assailed him
with view of throwing him into the Sus-
quehanna river. Had it not been for the
interpOsition of the police, who were present
in strong force, Daley would doubtless have
been seriously wounded, if not killed. He
was finally escorted home by the officers,
followed by an infuriated mob, who made
violent efforts to lay hands upon him.
Daley attempted TO preach at the same place
last Sunday, but was prevented.

Masqusrading N Indians.

Tombstone, Ariz., dispatch: A party Of
United States troops while scouting in the
neighborhood of Calabassas, a few days
ago, came suddenly upon two Americans
and several Mexicans, ali sleeping in the
brush near where government horses were
at pasture. All wore moccasins and made
a trail very similar to that of the Indians.
While it is pretty generally believed that
these men are guilty of some Of the depre-
dations charged against the Indians, there
was no evidence to convict them, and, after
examination, they were set at liberty. The
party were unable to give any satisfactory
account Of themselves. An important

Broken Dishes at Hotels.

Hotel managers here say that the fracture
of dishes-china, glass and earthenware-is a
more serious item of expense than any out
slider would suppose. Although they make it
rule, for their own protection, to Charge
broken dishes TO the servants when they are
plainly careless, the rule does not relieve the
hotels from serious loss every year. The
greatest amount of breakage is in handling
and washing; dishes may not DO actually
broken at first, but they are constantly nicked
and cracked, aud, after that, soon go to
pieces Large houses, like the Fifth Avenue
and the Windsor sustain loss of fully SlO, 900
annually in this way, independent of what
the servants pay for. Managers say that it
would be 80 per cent. greater except for the
system Of fines imposed on the domcsticS,
who are made by it less needless. Any house
holder may judge from the destruction OF
dishes in his own kitchen what it must be in
a great hOtel.-New York Commercial Ad-
vertiSer.

cut it in two and put one half around my

Hardly a week passes without the men
ion by the newspapers Of sudden deaths,
aud OF late the alarming frequency OF the
statement that death was caused by rheu-
natism or neuralgia of the heart cannot
iail TO have been noticed. In all proba-
bilitv MANY deaths attriL TO heart dis
ease are caused by these terrible diseases,
which are far more dangerous than is gen
orally considered. Is there any positive
cure? Tie best answer to such question
is given by those who hare been cured by
the use of Athlophoros.
f. A. Curry, son of Mrs. J. II. Curry, of
New Paris, Ohio, says: My mother, previ-
Gus TO her use of Athlophoros had been al
most a constant sufferer from iufammatory
rheumatism OF the most acute form. AT the
time she commenced with this medicine she
was in a most helpless condition; her suffer
ing could well be termed torture; she was
confined to her bed for many weeks, nothing
we had done gave her any relief. Myfather
was almost discouraged and disheartened
fearing there never would be any relief for
her. Not knowing what to do next he came
to town, going to Mr.. Richey's drug store,
he said he INST have something that would
at least give her relief. Mr.. Richey spoke OF
Athlophoros and told my father to go and
see Josiah White about his use of it. Mr..
White spoke highly Of the medicine and
advised my father to get bottle and try it,
which he did After taking few doses
mother began to get relief, after she had
used two bottles she was up and around and
in 4 weeks time she came down town. How
long had she been afflicted with this rheu-
matism? For sixteen years, Of course it
would be better and worse at different times.
How much did she Use in all? was asked.
| think about three bottles"
Every druggist shosld keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not be bought of the druggist the Athlo-
phoros Co., liz Wall ST., New York, will
send either carriage paid on receipt Of
regular price, which is Sl.00 per bottle

There Is no department Of human labor in
which there is greater need Of scientific train
iug than in mining. It's prosperity is largely
dependent upon metaliurgical methods and
skill, and these things are taught in the min
ing schools: and while d considerable mOwl-
edge Of these sciences is not an absolute neceS-
sity to the miner, they are valuable aids,
which sometimes lead men to avoid costly
blunders
The best miner is the man who is trained
to observe little things; who sees in q crystal
or a seam i'll the rock a fact Of value; who
knows enough of geology TO understand its
relations 10 faults and deposits of various
kinds, and who can group together & set of
facts and read their language; who knows
enough of engineering to avoid costly mis-
takes, and understand when great skill and
accurate work are required; who knows
enough of mechanical principles of labor to
understand the value Of labor saving ms
chinery, and wSlln it can be properly intro
duoed; who has been trained in studying and
assav wing ores until he knows how to prevent
wasting his valuable ore in the mine, or
throwing it over the dump when it is raised
TO the surface; who knows enough about
gases and ventilation erd the chemistry Of
explosives 20 protect the health and life of
himself and his men. 1he1'e are things which
men are taught in schools
Mining is something more than handling
hammer, pick and gad, OF putting in sets OF
timbers 1t is an art and science COM
bined, which is worthy the employment Of
the best thought and the best skill Of which
men are possessed. And it is just because it
requires intellect and thought and study that
the occupation is more honorable and digni-
fed than the labor of the shoveler on the rail-
way grade.-Denver Tribune Republican.

Taxation on Personaltx

years after lie inherited his great fortune,
paid no taxes on his personal estate. He
'swore Off his taxation on personally That
is TO say, he maintained, when applied to for
an inventory, that his debts exceeded the
value of his personal estate. This became
such scandal that in 1880 he confessed to
owning personal property in excess OF his
debts to the value of sl,OOOOoO and on that
amount he paid taxes each year until his
death, and on that amount only It is now
known that he left at least So, ,OOO, 900 in

A curious story comes from China to
the effect that in Chung kh!ng the mas
sacre of native Christians and the de
struction of their churches AMI property
was due entirely 10 the popular Iudlgna
tion aroused by the Catholic bishop, who,
it is said, persistently used yellow tiles in
the construction of his new cathedral in
spite of repeated warnings that it was
dangerous to do so, because il outraged
native faith by making common use OF
a color venerated as sacred and reserved
exclusively for the use of the emperor
