His Job No Sinecure.

An extraordinary case has just come
before the court in Vienna, when a
groom, in the service of Baroness
S%tahlberg, brought an action against
his mistress for damages as compensa-
ton for injuries received in her stables,
which he described as q paradise for
horses and q hell for man." The Bar
oness. the man stated, entered the sta
bles at noon and stayed there till early
the next! morning. During the time
she was there she fed the animals with
sugar and cakes, and encouraged them
to kick and bite the groons, whom she
kept iii constant attendance upon them,
often keeping them up all night to wash
and feed the horses.
when l was badly bitten by the
horse Mamsi," the plaintiff stated, in
giving his evidence, "the Baroness
laughed heartily, and told me- to kneel
down and bind up her hoofs. This !
declined to do, saying 1 would sooner
attend on a dozen foxes than Mamsi,
and the Baroness said that she would
dismiss me from her service for insult
ing her horse"
The case was adjourned, as several
former grooms and stablemen of the
Baroness also appeared at the court to
lay complaints for injuries, by bites and
kicks, received in the stables of the
Baroness Stahlberg. -Lonkon Globe

Union Services nt Fremont.

Fremont, Ncb., May 25.- Special to THE
BEE The union memorial services held
today at the Congregational church were
perhaps the most impressive rs well rs the
most largely attended of any of the kind ever
held in the city. There were thousand
persons present to participate in the cxor-
ciscs. The Grand Army post and the Ma
tion al Guards attended in uniform and were
accorded positions of honor. The church was
elaborately decorated for the occasion by II
profusion of flags and bunting displayed and
drapcd everywhere. The special music was
rendered by choir composed of the city's
best vocalists. The sermon was preached by
Rev. j. w. Robinson, pastor of
the Methodist church The eloquent
discourse was made more interesting
from the fact that the speaker is himself an
old soldier, it was an inspiration. He took
for his text the two inscriptions on the SILVER
dollar, viz: "E Pluribus Unum' and I'm
God We Trust He detailed the carnage
and struggle which the nation has passed
through to maintain the former, and then
standing upon that basis the hope and trust
of the nation is expressed in the other. The
present menace TO the pcrpctuity of American
institutions, he said are an un American bal
lot, an ignorant ballot and a drunken ballot,
or the whisky traffic. In wise and patriotic
language he warned his hearers against all

Two years ago there was large amount Of

CHASED BY ARtBID HORSE.
Ride for Life of John Ryno to Escape
q Eearlul Pursmer.

CARTHAGE, H., May 25-Ths morning at
10 o'clock a man pallid with fear, driving at
frantic speed horse attached to a buck
board, dashed into town and told strange
story His name is John Ryno, and he is
farmer living five or six miles in the country.
Ryno declared that he had been chased for
five miles by rabid mare. His own horse
was covered with foam and showed the
effects of hard drive. Ryno said his
attention was first attracted by the run
ming of a horse behind him and he saw that
white mare was following his blackboard
about hundred yards away The animal
kept up a peculiar noise, resembling the
snarling of a dog. She came up rapidly, and
when within fifty feet Ryno, to his horror,
saw that The brute was suffering from rabies.
The eyes and nostrils of the animal were dis
tended, and the hideous yelps became more
frequent and pronounced. Ryno lashed his
horse into run, but there was no need, as
the animal had begun to tremble and whinny
with fear, and broke away at her highest
speed. But the mad mare gained, and
was soon biting and swapping at the buck
board wheels, at Ryno and at his horse.
Ryno beat the brute in the face with his
whipstock, but to no effect. He says the
awful race lasted fully five miles. A passen-
ger train on the railroad came along when
near town and the mare, with n hideous
squcal leaped u low hedge and ran after the
train. Ryno watched the race until the
horse and train were lost to sight round q
curve. What became of the rabid horse is
not known.

People In ana About Salina Tired of
Farcicel Prohibition.

SALINA, Kan, May 25.-The business men
of Salina with few exceptions can be heard
daily expressing themselves as tired of the
prohibition law. In fact, it is not a question
of prohibition any longer but high license VS..
free and unrestrained whisky. The joint and
original package houses do hourishing bust
ness and the city is deprived of revenue.
Several European gentlemen who have Wis
tied this city recently said Kansas had bad
name throughout England Germany, France
and other countries where they had travelled
on account of her puritanical blue laws.
Hence the tremendous falling off in immigra-
ton to this state as compared with Nebraska,
Texas and other states.
The resu admission movement is not confined
to this city alone, but hundreds of farmers
can be heard denouncing the present state of
affairs. A leading republican farmer and al.
lance man spoke their sentiment when he
said; You city people can get all You want
to drink at any time without any effort, but
we farmers who are not on must sign and
swear to a death warrant if we pernhalG. CO
must have it, OF course ther> are prohib-
itionists in the allis-.l5, but they are in a
hopeless minorJyn
The people of Salina are indignant at the
action of Governor Humphrey toward the
resubmisSiOn republican convention yester-
day in Topeka The drift of the discussion
op tne streets is that he dug his own grave
and that if few short haired women and
preacher politicians had called he would have
submitted gracefully.

Mrs Maggie McGill both recently of Cherry
vale, were arrested in this city today on the
charge of adultery, on a warrant sworn out
by Mrs Quick, the wife of the former They
were arraigncd before Justice Millerand their
trial set for next Wednesday. About month
ago Quick came to this city alone and went to
work for Harrison Brothers, pump dealers.
Last Wednesday there arrived in this city
Mrs. McGill and her two children,
girls aged one and seventeen
years. Mrs McGill and Quick Immediately
went to housekeeping together, the latter

telegram today from Mr.. McGill at Cherry
vale. requesting him to return his children to
CherryVale and to prosecute the woman to

York, Neb,, May Especial to TnE
BEE. Much condemnation is expressed with
reference to the action taken by the city Coun-
il III refusing to grant liquor permits to the
druggists There are various views upon the
matter A year ago the proposition to fix an
occupation tax for the sale of liquor by drug
gists met with disfavor by the anti-saloonists,
who gave as their reason that it was only
licensing the drug stores to do Il saloon bust
ness. The council then concluded
to grant permits without tho tax,
which was done, and in this way the matter
has stood until the present council met TO
consider the permit question. AT the late
election Councllnen were elected upon this
issue, and it was thought that Il 'wct' coun-
Gil had been chosen.
Much to the surprise of many they failed
to move in the direction they were expected
to. This was a sore disappointment to the
druggist inaSmuch as it shuts of a snug little
revenue, and it also looms up in a rather un-
favorable aspect to many of the temperance
element Many predict the shutting off of
the druggists to be the laying of the fOunda-
tion for saloons. While this is amcrc conjec-
turc, 1t is mighty apt to occur if Il happy me
dium can not be reached. There is much un-
casiness over the probable outcome. While
the druggists here are losing IA good trade on
account of the situation, it is Il gain to Sew
ard, Lincoln, Fremont and other places.
