Shutting ontthe Pharmac,sts.

MARsHALLTowN, Ia, August 26-GSpeclal
Telegram to THE BEE. -Petititions were be-
ing circulated throughout the city this morn
ing by committees of two from each church
to be presented to Judge Hindman, asking
that permits be granted to but two druggists
in the city to sell liquor according to law.
Votes were taken on the question at nearly
all the churches last night. large majorties
favoring the restriction. A good many look
upon it, however, as an unjust discrimina-
tion against the pharmacists thus shut out,
and equity demands that all should have
equal privileges under the law.

In Justice to Sheriff Eikenbary.

PLATTsMoUTH, Neb., August 27.-To the

ing that ne is liar and a man who is not to
be trusted. l consider it my duty to correct
any such false reports about any citizen who
has an unblemished character and is re.
spected by everybody, as Is Mr.. Eikenbary.
The trouble was all caused by the alleged
arrest Of Tascott, the report Of which ap-
peared in the paper spoken of, and which is
now proven to have been utterly without
foundation. A few days ago Sheriff Eiken-
barry arrested a man at Greenwood charged
with having stolen watch. Upon his arrival
in this city with the prisoner he was asked
by by-stander who the man was. and the
sheriff langhingly replied "'rascott." Every
body who heard the conversation knew it
was merely joke and nothing more was
thought OF it until the article appeared Sun

the method by which Tascott was captured,
and told when and how he had evaded the
authorities since leaving Chicago, and this
the brilliant correspondent nov confesses
was production of his own Imagination but
did not realize what position it would place
Mr. Eikenbary in before the matter appeared
in print. The correspondent now expresses
much regret at having been the manufact-
urer of an article that would SO iniure the
character or as honorable, honest and uD-
right man as everybody knows Mr.. Eiken-
barry to be. Six years has he faithfully
served this county as sheriff, and never be-
fore has an official discharged his duties with
more precision and care than he has. The
citizens in general are very indignant at the
treatment when Sheriff Eikenbary has been
subjected TO by the bitter editorial which
advertses him before the citizens of this
county and state as an Infamous liar and
greatly degrades his character

Amu,elnents. A

Six anu seven years ago Richard Golden
made some reputation as a comedian in light
opera, but at that time no one imagined he
would ever attempt character work, and
especially in the line found so far east as
Maine. But Mr.. Golden was born and
reared at a little village on the Penobscot
river, known as Bucksport Among the in
habitants was an eccentric old man of the
name of led Prouty, and it seems that he at
tracted young Richards attention and the
lad was wont TO mimic him. AS he grew
stage life, Golden conceived the
idea ana commenced writing the play which
he Is now producing and presented for the
first time in Omaha at Boyd's opera house
last night While there is not much strength
TO the piece so far as story or plot goes, IL
serves Mr. Golden's purpose admirably and
furnishes pleasing entertainment. All the
personages in IL We're taken from llfe and
they are true to nature. Golden's imperson-
alton of the genuine Yankee Is in mipy re-
spects more than clever, and puts him in the
very front rank OF young commedans.
His best work shows itself in the
pathetic scenes, though at no time IS II pos
sible TO discern lack OF perfection In his
performance His identity is completely
lost, by artistic makeup and action, in the
person of 'Jed Prouty." II is play that
interests all classes and W n live. Mr.. Golden
has surrounded himself with good company
and carries his own scenery, representing &
