Another Temperance Measure.

DEs MONIES, Ia, Feb. 4.-Judge Hender-
son, Mrs. Woods, Mrs Aldrich and other
prominent temperance workers have APP
pcarcd before the committee for the sup
preston of intcmperance to set before them
another bill relating to the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors. The bill is said to meet with
more favor than the Custer bill. The main
features are as follows: 1t places the sale
in the hands of druggist, who, to get a
permit must secure the names of one-third of
the voters of his ward or township and an
equal number of women over twenty-one
years of age: must give bonds for
5000 and be liable to penalties and
costs. Any clerk selling liquors must be a
registered pharmacist. Certificates of SALE
the same us now, except that they are to be
numbered. and with the seal of the county
auditor. A buyer making false affidavit is
deemed guilty Of perjury, and giving false
name guilty of forgery. The druggist must
show that he has never been convicted Of a
crime or addicted to the use of Intoxicating
liquors. The present permits expire in next
June This bill does not Danish beer as the
Custer bill does. The Custer bill originated

The Ladies' Quarrel.

A little difference had arisen between

LOCAL EFFECTS OF THE CUT.
The strife in South Omaha-Latest
Rates on Meat, Etc.


Rates on Meat, Etc.
The jolly, whole-souled individuals swho
represent the interests of the various lines of
roads leading from this city to Chicago who
have been so cheerfully reducing freight and
passenger tariffs during the last few days,
have carried the war into Africa" as it
were, and are now slashing each other-met-
aphorically speaking-wth unusual vigor,
and are each striving to see who can carry
stock and dressed meat from South Omaha
TO Chicago the cheapest Heretofore the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul has enjoyed
a sort of semi-monopoly, as it were, in carry
ing dressed meat, but since this latest action
on the part of the various lines the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy more especially has
taken prompt and effective measures to se-
cure larger proportion of the business. On
Friday night the agent at South Omaha
declared himself, and by cutting under
the Milwaukee's rate secured good slice OF
the business. Yesterday the latter road,
through its efficient representative, arose in
its wrath and met the c., b. Il Q's reduction
only to be confronted by a still further cut
on the part of the latter which secured the
major portion of the trade on meat. On live
stock the inducements held out by the differ
, .Cnt lines have been simply great The Mil
waukcc opened the ball by Offering ii passen-
ger coach to all shippers which was overcome
by u proposition on the part of the c., B. &
q. to furnish n Pullman sleeper Not to be
Outdone the Milwaukee then offered Il Pull
man with hotel accommodations meals, etc,
which last offer remains to be duplicated
On Monday, it is believed, that further re-
ductions will follow. One thing is certain,
shippers and packers are making mint of
money by the action on the part of the rail
roads.
b. THE LATEST.
i The war in railroad rates is still in progress
!. and though several of the lines between this
point and Chicago for day or more refused
.. 10 engage in it, all of them at length have en-
2 tered the contest and each proposes to fight
+ Il out until it pleases some one of them to
move for a cecession of hostilites.
AT last accounts the rates between Chicago
Omaha daily bee., 1888-02-05

The Northwestern engaged in the struggle
yesterday after its representative had been
seen by the BEE reporter and its general
agent w. N. Babcock, announces
that these rates will be the maximum ones
from Chicago TO any station on his road in
in Iowa ON or south of the line, Clinton to
Sioux Cityvia. Tama, Jewell Junction and
Onawa.
Nobody can tell when the fight will end.
Now that all the roads have engaged in it
neither can expect the lions share. 1t will
undoubtedly be losing engagement for each
of the lines, rs much so perhaps, to those
who enjoy good local patronage as those
who depend largely on the through business.
The contest, however, is mainly between the
Milwaukee and the Burlington each OF whom
runs into the others territory, circum-
stance which led to this declaration of hostiii-
tics.

PITTsBrRG, Feb. 4.-As feared collision
occurred this evening between the non-union
men at the Solar Iron works and the strikers,
in which three persons were injured, one six
teen-year-old lad, named Joseph Kenney, was
fatally shot The works, which have been
idle for the past two months on account of
the strike, resumed operations
with eighty colored men for
merly members of the Amalgamatcd
association. These non-unionsts we're es
corted to and from their homes by police.
This afternoon n large number of strikers
and sympathizers gathered about the mill.
When the non-union men came out, sur
rounded by the officers, the strikers followed,
applying many offensive eplthets to the ne
grocs. After a couple of blocks had been
thus passed the strikers began throwing rocks
when, without warning, several of
the negroes drew revolvers and opened
fire upon the crowd. The mob
broke and ran in all directions. while the Of
ficers rushed among the excited colorcd men
and endeavored to stop the shooting. Be
tween thirty and forty shots were fired, how
ever, before they were gotten under control.
Besides young Kenna, three men are known
to have been shot, but their names or the ex-
tent of their injuries cannot be ascertained,
as they were taken away by friends. 1t is
presumed that others received injuries of
some kind.

WHISKY FOR ELEPHANTS.

Mr.. 7. II. Barnum is circus man.
He is also Prohibitionist. He is pro-
nounced circus man. And a more pro-
nounced Prohibitionists. He has been
both for long time. Extremes some
times meet. He has fine elephant win
tering in Connecticut. Her name is
Juno. She is the widow of his late
highness, Jumbo. She caught cold the
other day. A stone statue wintering in
Connecticut would catch cold. Even
Connecticut detectives have been known
to catch cold there. Juno's cold rapidly
became an ague fit. Then her keeper
mixed her littlequinine in two gallons
of whisky. She took to it kindly
In o short time she was drunk
and disorderly." Terrifically So,
but she was good natured. She
whooped it up lively in her quarters, and
smashed all the furniture in reach. She
did everything a drunken man does, ex-
cept getting arrested.
After awhile she went TO sleep and
quiet reigned. Then her keeper told
Mr.. Barnum that he had given Juno a
nip of the flowing bowl and Mr.. Bar.
mum became quite as angry as Juno had
been drunk. He vowed he would have
let her die-she is worth $40, ,oO0-before
she should have broken the pledge. He
said other rash things, and Juno snored
A Prohibitionist always flies off at g
tangent. The evils of intemperancs
have never made any terrible inroads on
the elephant tribe, Say that they had.
That doesn't make quinine and whisky
a bad thing for ague. Mr.. Barnum is a
freak, Juno has big head. But in
other respects she is doing quite well.

BAZAINE'S MEXICAN BRIDE.

nor, Who Witnessed the ceremony.
1idHtd Constitution.
Gen. Rodolpho Gunner, one of the
most noted commanders of Maximillian' S
armies during the Mexican revolution,
said at Dallas, Tex, the other day: '1t
is strange that the press, which is dovot-
ing so much space to the late Marshal
Bazainc, never says anything about his
marriage with the beautiful lady who
showed so much heroism in sharing the
woes of her husband. / have not in any
paper read her maiden name She was
Senorita Pepita Pena, sprightly and
charming young lady of rare accomplish
ments, who, with her mother, resided in
the City of Mexico, where they derived
bare competency from the rents of an
embarrassed hacienda.
Marshal Bazaine, who had met her at
balls fell desperately in love with her,
and she seemed to be charmed with his
military glory, for he was about fifty
seven and she only eighteen. They were
married in the chapel of the Emperor s
palace. During the ceremony l stood
near the Emperor, holding between my
hands my silver helmet, in which was a
deed from the Emperor to the bride, con-
ferring on her the beautiful villa, Buena
Vista, which had been the gift to him of
the City of Mexico, and in which Mar
shal Bazaine had been residing
"At the conclusion of the ceremony |
handed the deed to the Emperor, and he
gave it to the bride as token of esteem.
1t was indeed an imperial gift, for the
villa was worth $l5O,000.
"The statement, so commonly circu-
lated, that the Emperor conferred the
title of duke on Bazaine, which, of
course, makes Mrs Bazaine duchess, is
not founded on fact. The Emperor did
not create nobility in Mexico. Before
the religious marriage TO which have
referred a civil marriage had been con-
summated in small room, in which the
only parties present were the Emperor,
Marshal Bazaine, the bride, Gen. Frient,
Gen. Boyer and myself, acting in my
capacity as commandant of the palace.
The intendepte of the occasion was Gen.
Frient, who, at the conclusion of the
civil ceremony, addressed the bride, as
suring her that she was being raised to
the highest rank that the Emperor could
bestow upon her-a cousin of the EN-
peror Napoleon. OF course, you under
stand that Napoleon called all his mar
shals cousins"

the "triangular table" Three long tables
are arranged in the form OF triangle, and In
the center is a round table bearing the floral
center-piece, tho open space being filled in
with foliage plants. The host or hostess Is
seated In the center OF the base of the triangle,
and 70 his or her left and right are the favored
guests. The others are seated upon the other
sides Of the triangle, and the beauty OF the
arrangement is that all OF them face the host
or hostess. The idea was recently introduced
hostess, with friend ON her right and left
hand, sat at the base OF the triangle, and two
ladies sat facing her ut each Of the other two
sides.

AN ESSAY ON KISSING.
1t Reads as Though 1t wero Written
by Woman.
Tran TYDss

by IA Woman.
Troy Times.
In the old days., when powder and
rouge were indispensable, gallant gen.
tleman kissed the hand of his fair lady,
And her hand was kept immaculate, that
his kiss might mean much to him. Now
adays men don't stoop to kiss your hand;
it would get their trousers out of shape.
So clean face becomes necessity to a
woman who has any liking for that eX-
preston of affection which is generally
approved of and seldom well done. The
only kiss worth having, says a writer on
the subject, Is that OF nice baby, and
yet the baby doesn't give it; it only SUBJ
mts to it, and keeps its sweet, dainty,
perfumY little mouth shaped like an
o, as it waits for you to discover just
like Scotch whisky-they are apt to be
smoky. Children's kisses are inclined
to cover ones entire face; but baby
simply exists and lets you take mouth
full of the breath of Araby. Men have
an idea that their kisses are appreciated.
They are most immensely mistaken. The
averge man gives kiss just as he
throws base ball-with too much force.
| 1t ought to be as delicate as a rose leaf.
Almost II memory in a second. 1t need
not suggest postage stamp nor porous
plaster. One lady says: 81 could write a
book on kissing, but mankind is so de-
termined that don't think he'd take
any advice on the subject, and yet, as it
is the women who receive the kisses,
they certainly ought 10 know more about
them than the great big stupid creatures
who give them"
