PROHIBITION IN IOWA.
The Legislature hfonkeying with License Law.
An Outline of tho Bills and Restrie-
lions Proposed.

Dies MONIES, Iowa, April l0.-There
seems to be little probability tLst the
present legislature will disturb Iowe's
prohibition law. License measures that
have been advocated are practically
dead. The senate spent to-day consId-
ering two license bills, one by Mr..
Schmidt, IN accordance with the Demo-
cratic platform; the other by Mr.. Law
renee, Republican. Both bills were lost
on engrossment. All license bills which
have been before the senate have now
either been defeated or indefinitely post
poned.
In the house, Mr.. Schmidt is on the
calendar with a recommendation from
committee of the whole for its lndef-
mite postponement, and as the house
stands titty-one for prohibition and
forty-nine for license there is little hope
there for the bill.
The senate bill provided for the calling
of an election to decide for or against
license, or if not elections to be held
every two years. If it is decided for
license the power of Issuing shall be
given the district court, and all aDpli-
cations must be published for at least
two weeks previous to issuing the license.
"Reminiscences will be considered by the
court. The minimum license fee was
fixed at $500, all of which shall go to the
county and corporations may impose and
collect additional license. A $4,000
bond must be given by the person
getting the license for the proper obser-
walton of the law, and penalties and eva
sons are provided.
The Lawrence bill provides in O similar
manner for elections, and if license car
ries, the governor shall appoint three
excise commissioners for the locality,
who shall have power to issue or revoke
license. The minimum fee is $500, all of
which goes to the city treasury. The
person receiving license must file bond
for the observance of the law,
Restrictions are made that no liquor
should be sold TO minors or habitual
drunkards, all saloons to open OH the
public streets, to be closed by IL 'clock
p. m. on all days and all day on election
days and Sundays. No games are to be
permitted, or screens, or music. Per-
mits to manufacture shall be granted in
counties deciding for license. Penalties
are prescribed.

NATIONAL SUNDAY LAWS
Five Precedents Given for Congressional
Sunday Legislation.
Such Laws Deemed Both Beneficial and Merci-
full, Especially to the Poor and
Dependent.

For the Gazette.
The revised statutes of the United
States in 1873 contained four operative
Sunday, with $1,000 penalty; two inter-
hitting studies on Sunday in the militrry
and naval academies, and fourth de-
claring Sunday dies non, day not to
be counted, in bankruptcy proceedings.
The same year the Forty fifth congress
Second session, page 2I3) passed a Sun
day law for the District of Columbia, TO
protect-not employees, but game birds,
forbidding any one to shoot such on Sun
day.
Here are five precedents for congress
sional Sunday legislation. The question
is not, therefore, whether congress shall
begin such legislation, but whether it
shall logically and equitably complete
what it has begun. It's Sunday legisla-
ton is like the unfinished Washington
monument of a few years ago In its ugly
and reproachful incompleteness Let
congress complete this undertaking by
adding the proposed Sunday law for the
capital, and then put on the shining cap
stone by giving the civil rest day to all
who are under its jurisdiction. This
would be only logical expansion of the
oldest national Sunday law, found in the
constitution itself, in article l, Sec
ton Z, which says that the president
shall have ten days "(Sundays eX-
cepted) - in which to consider any bill
sent to him by congress before it can be-
I.
parenthesis, ''(Sundays eXcepted) -
is an acorn which millions of petitioners
ask shall be allowed to grow into its log
ical result, the widespreading oak of the
Sunday rest law, under whose shadow,
with the president, all others who are
under the jurisdiction of congress may
also enjoy their day of rest.
An enumeration of national Sunday
laws would not be complete without a
reference to those made by the execu-
tive, the proclamations giving Sunday
rest to the army, issued by Presid ents
Washington, Jackson, Lincoln and Har-
rison.
The judicial department of the national
government is represented by decision
of very great Importance, though little
known, which declares the constitu-
tionality of Sunday laws. The decision
was unanimous one, delivered by Mr..
Justice Field, March 16, 1885, (113 U.
S., no. y and is as follows: claws set
ting aside Sunday as q day of rest are
upheld, not from any right of the gov
eminent to legislate for the promotion of
religious observances, but from its right
to protect all persons from the physical
and moral debasement that comes from
uninterrupted labor. Such laws have
always been deemed beneficial aud mer-
ciful laws, especially to the poor and de-
pendent, to the laborers in our factories
and workshops and in the heated rooms
of our cities; and their validity has been
sustained by the highest courts of the
states. WILBUR F. CRAFTS,

ing around in two or three columns of
details it closed by saying that
1.-THE decorations of the entire build
ing are beautiful beyond description.
There are scenes of Texas landscape,
birds, flowers, musical instruments,
views of the Gulf of Mexico with a rail-
road trestIe over real water, all wrought
by skillful hands from the product of the
soil. Without and within, both as a
whole and in minute detail, the deeafar
tions are indesoribably beaatittss and
wonderful in artistic conception and ex-
ecution. -
Leaving the press and descending, or
ascending as the reader pleases) to in
diVfdual opinion, we quote from the
Hon. Jonas Cleland, Mayor of Sioux
City, Iowa, who says:
at would be impossible for me to in
dulge in any extravaganza in saying, to
the people of this entire country, that
no more beautiful or more unique picture
was ever erected upon the face of tho
globe -
Hon. J. NJ. Thayer, of Nebraska, af-
er viewing the Palace, said, it is az Pal
ace of marvellous beauty, rivallng in
grandeur a temple lined with gold and
silver and studded with precious gems,
made of Gods handiwork, of the fruits
OF the field. We see here an abundance
of what Texas can produce. Everything
is beautiful, and everyone will say:
We'll done, Fort Worth; well done,
Texas. 80
Gov. r. B. Hubbard, ex-minister to
Japan, who has visited oriental coun-

dextrous handiwork OF all nations,
said:
"This is a veritable wonderland.
Such artistic arrangements of the cereals.
such beautiful decorations, and such a
wonderful exhibit of marble, granite,
minerals and wood have never seen be-

This was was the verdict of last years's
Palace, the maiden effort on the part of
the people of Texas.
The Palace this year will be much
larger, more comprehensive, and if skill
and experience can make it so, more
beautiful than that of last year. 1t Is
well worth a trip across the continent to,
see.
The famous Elgin band Will be present
in full force and will discourse the finest
music ever heard in Texas.
The Palace opens May 10th and will
continue twenty-five days.
All the railroads will make reduced
rates, good for thirty days, enabling you
to see ''Texas at Glance.''

He visits wichita Falls and is More than
Pleased with What He Sees and Hears.
WICHITA FALLS, TEX, April 10. 1890.
To the Gazette:
Among the many visitors here yester-
day was Mr.. George NJ. Pullman of
Chicago, the president of the Pullman
palace ear company. Mr.. Pullman and
family were en- ronte to Denver from Hot
Springs. The party was met here by
superintendent R. G. Duncan of the
Fort Worth and Denver rail-
way, who accompanied them
north. This is Mr.. Pullman's first
trip through this portion of Texas. He
is largely interested in both the Fort
Worth and Denver and the Wichita VAL
ley Line-now being built west from this
point.
Mr.. Pullman, like all others who visit
this section, was agreeablY surprised and
much pleased at the progress made in
this section in the way of farming.
When he was informed by high off eial
of the Denver road that this county had
made an average of twenty-five bushels
of wheat to the acre last year, and an
average of twenty-five bushels in 1888,
with 80 per cent. OF the soil in cultiva-
ton sod land the 9rst crop, he remarked,
''That beats anything ever done in the
way of wheat raising in the United
States
Mr.. Pullman said f'Gen. Dodge had
induced him to invest in the road, and
he always had great faith in the generals
judgment, and now that he was here and
could see for himself the products of the
country and progress made in so short
time, he was fully convinced that Gen.
Dodge made no mistake in recommending
this portion of Texas as q farming coun-
try
The party spent half an hour in
looking over the Wichita Falls
country exhibit of products at
the emigration headquarters, ask
ing questions in regard to the country
in generals and seemed to take great
interest in this section. Mr. Pullman

The Texas Spring Palace is an original
conception for presenting to the public
the products and resources of the state.
It is not fair, in any sense of the term
but 'KarporamR "a picture of the
fruits Of the soil, the orchard, the gar
den, the farm, the forest, the mines
the streams-each wrought into form
and shape with great ingenuity and ar
tistic skill. The visitor who attends the
Palace to see crazy quilts, lace handker-
chiefs, embroidery, threshing machines
clothes wringers, etc, etc, will find
these articles conspicuous only by their
absence. The grains of the country he
will find represented by a beautiful pic
ture of the goddess of the forest, con-
structed of cereals, and clad in raiment
made of the same material, the whole
presenting veritable picture, Beautiful,
attractive and pleasing Every product
of the soil is treated-in the same manner,
and when flushed the whole Palace pre-
SCENTS more the appearance of a scene
from Fairyland, than a gathering of the
produots of the earth
In addition to this the threshed grains
and other products are presented by
samples in show cases, on shelves and in
glass jars, neatly arranged for exhibit
ton.
The birds of the state are there, treated
by the TaXidermist' art, and the fishes
swimming in their native element, in
glass aquariums. There are also the
song birds by the hundreds, whose voices
I'LL the building with sweet notes, attest
ing their appreciation of the beautiful
scene that surrounds them. It were
futile to attempt a description of this
wonderful work. A few have attempted
st, and we reproduce the efforts of some
of the more distinguished The Fort
Collins (Col.) Courier condensed the
whole in a single sentence, exclaiming:
cit rivals all the visions of youthful
fancy

nizing the poverty of the English Ian
guage to do the subject justice, said:

position ever before the people. One Is

Couple Taken In at Anson Who Had Eloped

Correspondence of the Gazette.
ANsoN, TEX, April about four
months ago a couple arrived in Arson
and gave the name of Mr. and Mrs R
B. Raymen, claiming they were from
the state of Missouri few weeks ago
letters were received here by the Masonic
fraternity from Carrsvilie, Ky, inquir-
ing for c. B. Sharp and Mrs. Lena
Lemons, who had eloped from that
place. Investigation developed the fact
that Mr.. and Mrs. Raymen were the par
ties sought, and last night Sheriff Gym
arrested them. Sharp was as sulIen
as bull, and refused to say
anything, but was lodged in Jail. The
woman was carried to the residence of
the sheriff and there told it all She
says her husband was an old bachelor.
She was forced to marry him against her
will, and never loved him in the least.
Notwithstanding Sharp had wife and
three children, she could love him, and
turn her back on her husband and two
children and flee to Texas. Here she has
lived content with her Illicit love until the
law steps in and says this thing must stop.
She now seems very penitent, and ex-
presses some anxiety to return to this
husband and children she so cruelty de-
serted.
They were well received here in the
best society, and the woman served as
organist frequently on religious ocea-
sions. Sharp is lawyer, and had per-
fected a partnership with Dan NJ. Jones
for the practice of law here.
Our people are very indignant over the
way they were taken in by these two adj
venturers, and some have gone so far as
to intimate that good lariating would
not be amiss.
The examining trial win take place
this evening.

Her Fir.t ATTEMPT a x,a,lure.

Her First Attempt a Failure.
Estelle Leroy, a Cleveland girl whose
real name is Hull, attempted to make her
first balloon ascension and parachute
jump at Beyerly's park, in this city. last
week. Size failed, however, and narrowly
escaped serious injury, and perhaps death.
The balloon was inflated with hot air, and
an employe named Ed. French was sent
inside to keep it from igniting from
sparks from the fire. He was forgotten
and when the balloon was sufficiently in
fiated it was cut loose and shot up into
the air. French was not prepared for
ascension and he began to scramble out.
One Of his feet caught in the ropes and he
hung head downward. After a vigorous
struggle he succeeded in extricating him
self when the balloon was about thirty
feet from the earth, and after turning
two summersaults in the air, he alighted
on the ground on his face and was severe
ly injured. The struggles of French
loosened the parachute from the balloon,
and at the height Of one hundred feet it
suddenly broke loose. The parachute
does not open until it has traversed a
considerable distance and the woman de-
scended with a rush. There was a loud
cry Of terror and a general stampede.
Fortunately the aeronaut fell into the
branches of a large tree and was rescued
without sustaining any injury. She was
considerably frightened, but declared her
intention Of trying the feat again.

A Crop ofs,nall yruu.

Mitchell Republican,: A. B. Seaton
who has supplied this and other markets
with strawberries this season, was asked
today what his crop aggregated. His
reply was that he had sold between nine
and ten thousand quarts Of strawberries,
three hundred quarts of currants and
would have about a thousand quarts of
red raspberries. How is this for a begin
ing in the small fruit business?
