A Sharp Contrast.

A reporter for a Chicago daily las Just
completed his Investigations into the liuuor
traffic of Des Moines, the only city OF
$4,000 people in the world without a
saloon" The correspondents infor-
nation is not generalized either, for he
gives the location of the places and in
cases names the proprietors. Des Moines
has $4,000 people and more than 200
joints and from forty to fifty drug stores
where liquor may be obtained. Omaha
has 140, 900 people and there are but 240
wholesale and retail liquor dealers.
Des Moines IS simply another evidence Of
the worthlessness Of the Iowa prohibitory

The Mutual Life,s Report for 1891.

The forty-ninth annual report OF the
Mutual lite insurance company shows the
extent of its operations during the past
year and its financial condition on Dec.
81, 1891. Each successive report has
usually been declared to be ''the best in
the history of the company" The report
for 1891 is no exception, demonstrating as
does the increasing popularity of the
Mutual life and the extension of the bene-
fits conferred upon those fortunate enough
to hold its policies. The report which is
printed in another column should be care
fully examined by those who desire to see
the standing of ''the greatest of all the
companies"

NUovo LAREDO, Mexico, Dec. o4.-The
Mexican revolutionists have committed
another bold outrage on United States
soil. a lengthy dispatch received here
today from Guerrero states that reliable
information has just reached there of an
engagement in Zapata county. Tex. be-
tween posse of United States marshaIs
and about 800 revolutionists, which re-
suited IN the defeat OF the marshals and
the capture of two of the latter, who are
being held as prisoners by the outlaws.
Last Wednesday this posse left camp
about forty miles below Carrizzo, and
made raid upon a ranch. They cap
tured Julian Palacios, one of the leaders
OF the recent revolutionary movement,
and started back to camp with him. On
Friday morning the camp of the deputy
marshals was attacked by about 800
weiI-armed revolutionists. The deputy
marshais made desperate resistance, but
were overpowered and compelled to re-
treat. The revolutionists captured two
deputies. 1t is reported that
number of revolutionists were
killed and wounded, and that three United
States deputies were wounded. 1t is also
rumored that the deputies who were taken
prisoners were banged by the revolution
lists and their bodies riddled with bullets.
but no confirmation of this aforementioned
rumor has been received
1t is understood here that the federal
authorities in Laredo have received full
particulars of the fight, but that they are
suppressing the news, in order that q
plan which they are arranging for captur-
ing the desperate band may be carried out
successfully

ter Of war today declared that, notwith-
standing reports to the contrary published
in the United States and Europe. there is
no revolutionary movement in Mexico
nor is there any armed force in the coun-
try save that controlled by the govern

reports have their origin in the fact that a
small armed band recently crossed into
Mexico from the Texas side and surprised
the Mexican pickets at San Ygnacio At
