WAS in his usual good mood and
talked rather philosOphically about
the movement. When he had
given his views on the proposition
l led bin into other fields. Iasked
him how much a barber received
tor shaving dead man. "Five
dollars" he answered. "Four dol
lars of that is clear profit" he cou-
tinued. "NO barber will ever
shave dead mau until he, the
barber, is drunk, and it takes just
a dollars worth of booze to get IA
barber drunk, provided he takes a
stiff horn and the stuff is good.
OF course, if he goes down to
Meyers aud fills up OIL 5 cent wills

But TO be serious, 1 never knew a
barber who liked to shave Il dead

Prohibition sustained.

The supreme court Monday sustained
the constitutionaliiy of the prohibition law
of Iowa. The point of issue was the right
to manufacture Intoxicating liquors solely
for expectation to other states despite the
state law, and it was pleaded that the pro-
hibitory feature, in SO far as the manu-
facture for expectation was concerned,
was in conflict with the constitutional
provisions giving congress the sole right
to regulate inter state commerce. The
case is that of j. s. Kidd, distiller, plain
tiff in error, VS.. j.. E. Pierson and s. J.
Loughras. The court holds that the state
law prohibiting both the manufacture and
sale, except for mechanical, medicinal,
culinary and sacramental purposes, is not
in conflict with the interstate commerce
provisions, and the decision of the Iowa
court is sustained. Opinion by Justice

Went Mad on 3 Train.

In corner Of the ladies' waiting room
Of the union depot Friday morning were
seated man and woman who frequently
startled the inmates by cries of Help"
followed by strange mutterings and mar
ticulate sounds. They were Robert and
Hannah Traverse, brother and sister, who
went insane on Rock Island train the
night before. They were placed in charge
of the police. They had tickets for To-
peka and we're supposed to have come
from Chalnplain, N. Y, though all efforts
to obtain any coherent story from them
proved failures. The two were well pro-
vided with money. No one on the train on
which they arrived could account for their
strange insanity, as when they left Chi
cago they we're perfectly sane to all ap-
pearance. During the night, however,
without any known cause, they became
almost violent. The worst paroxysms soon
passed away and next morning they were
not disposed to move from the place where
the police put them. They were sent to
Topeka.

work found the body of Charles under

not seem to be nearing an end. The mar
ket is slow and lifeless. The ordinary
business only reached the average of Tues
day. For most directions, especially for
the east, the business was quite imma-
terial.' The export demand is extremely
poor. Some manufacturers are rot will
ing to buy ahead. Yarn buyers are dis
posed to regard the present quotations as
insecure. Yarns are extremely quiet. Few
sales Of importance have been made in any
department. Exporters have made a few
inquiries, but have done little. There is
little inquiry for India or China staples.
The Calcutta market reopened Monday,
after the holidays. There is no improve
ment in the demand for other directions.
Cloth is only moderately active. The sales
of printing and other finishing goods are
small. Heavy goods are slow. There is
firm demand for miscellaneous goods.

Forest fires are raging in Santa Cruz,

great damage has been done to the fruit
ranches and wheat. In the Santa Cruz
mountains some of the largest redwoods
have been burned in the last few days. In
san Joaquin the fire spreads SO swiftly
through the dry tules that stock frequently
cannot escape and the flames leap across
wide sloughs. Wheat worth $4,000 was
destroyed at State Senator Reuter- ranch.
Several hundred men are fighting the fire

The Northeastern Miller says: The
mills did big work last week, the daily out
put averaging over 81, 900 barrels. The to-
tai production for the week ending October
16 was Isl, 900 barrels, against 162, 800 the
previous week, and 1853, 500 barrels for the
corresponding time in 1887. The same
twenty-one mills are in operation again
this week, and are getting out all the hour
they are capable Of. The shipments are
very heavy, but are mainly going via the
northern Lake routes, and this has for some
days past caused shortage Of cars. though
somewhat relieved now. An effort has been
made to get the east bound lake and rail
rates advanced to the basis Of 80 cents,
Minneapolis to New York, but the st. Paul
and Duluth and the 500 roads have so far
not acquiesced, and it seems improbable
that the object will be accomplished. The
-four market is now very dull, the recent
decline in wheat having stopped the buy
ing. Patents were reduced Is cents per
barrel in price Monday, and still the de-
mand il extremely light. There are some
jobbers who bought early enough to now
sell cheaper than western millers can and
still make handsome profit, and this is
being done. A representative of large
firm stated that some Of their customers
had orders on their books which would net
them 50 per barrel, and that until such
people were disposed of, millers would not
look,for very brisk trade. A majority of
the mills report mo exports, but one or
two sales were made Of an encouraging
character. The direct exports of -four last
week were somewhat increased, but were
largely on old orders, being 20, 600 barrels,
against 16,400 barrels for the preceding
week.
