Their New Flag Not Stolen,

The Sons of Hermann were consde rably
worked up yesterday, or a number oil
them were, over the mysterious disappear
ance Of the fine nav flag of the Harmonic
lodge, which was chrstened and dedi-
Gated in Muth's garden on Sunday last
with such a grand celebration.
A special flag bearer was appointed to
take care of the flag on Sunday, but
along late at night he was having good
deal of fun focusing Muth's telescopes at
the moon and tossing schooners on an
imaginary sea, and forgot all about the
flag when he went home. Some member
who went to the garden early yesterday
morning found the bare flag staff and not
being able to find the flag in thegarden
supposed it was stolen and all day there
was party out searching for it,
The flag was finally found at the home
of the president of the lodge. He had
taken care OF it the night before and left
the pole because it was too heavy.

York legislature, has been signed by the
governor, and became law March %.
Among other provisions, the new law
provides that all places where liquor is
sold must be closed at midnight, except

On Sunday, no liquor can be sold under
any circumstances, under penalty of for
feiting license; no free lunch shall be

Of the revenue to go to the state, two
thirds to the county; all places claiming
to be hotels must have at least ten rooms

hibitS saloons within POO feet of a school

towns, by majority of taxpayers, but
prohibits 1t in cities OF over $4,000; gives
the courts authority to review applica-
tions for license and also to revoke license
upon petition Of taxpayers.
The law meets with vigorous opposition
from the saloon men, and its cOnStitu-
tiOnality is to be tested AID stubbOrnly
fought through the courts. The pater-
nifty Of the measure is credited 10 eX-Sen-
ator Platt, and to his influence, 1t is said
Is due the fact that IL received Governor

WHO Is RESPONSIBLE?
To the Daily LIGHT:

To the Daily LIGHT:
The Express is really responsible for the
color line being drawn on Quincy. The
Express has misrepresented our commu-
nifty and led Quincy to believe that our
citizens shared in the admiration con-
tinually expressed in that paper for the
colored boss. The people of San Antonio
are not in love with Quincy or his political
admirers.
The Express made poor Jim Davis, the
colored barber, believe that Austin was
"all same" Fredericksburg. The Express
is continually irving to throw mud at re-
publicans socially because they are re-
publicans, by appointing the negro boss
or politician over them and belittling the
white republicans.
The Express should come to their pets
rescue when the barkeeper refuses to sell
him a drink. The Express should
get up royal banquet" and entertain
its 'bronzed" hero, so as to relieve the
bad impression he may get of our commu-
nifty. The Express should solace the in
jured feelings of her Quincy with at least
one interview per day. Quincy might set
'em up to Frank and make him feel as
good as Jim Davis after sleeping in that
feather bed at the Hotel Nimitz.

Cause and Effect.

Success can only be assured by going back
TO the cause in the treatment of disease.
Many Doctors can see the effects only, such
as are visible to the eye, and treat the sym.
ptoms, but while the cause exists a cure is
impossible and herein lies the secret of so
many failures. The skilled Specialist devotes
all his study to a few diseases and become as
familiar with them as you do with the faces
of your family. When he sees a Skin Dis.
ease, he knows just where the cause lies, and
Just what to do.
If you have exposed yourself to disease and
there appears suspicious sore, to his ex-
perienced eye, it becomes plain whether it is a
poison in the blood or a local trouble.
SO 1t is with Lost Manhood, Gonorrhoea,
Syphilis, Early Vices, and other Diseases Of
this class.
DIR. CLEMENS mas devoted years to these
diseases and possesses skill and methods OF
treatment unexcelled.
He can cure Structure without cutting, dill
ating or electricity and without pain or loss
of day from business. A new and wonder

our success was more brilliant than
theirs as the final score was 10 to 6.

HANDS OFF TARIFF.
Business Men Oppose Change in Reve-

CHICAGO, Nov. 2l.-The Record
prints the following Washington spe-
cial:
Business men in New York are much
opposed to an extra session Of congress
and to a revision of the tariff. There
is division of opinion regarding the
propriety of passing the Dingley Bill,
although the large majority admit that
something should be done as soon as
possible to meet the deficit in the rev.
enues OF the government. They see
no better way than by passing. that
measure, but they want itdone quietly
and promptly and are especially anx-
ious to avoid agitation.
"Give us a rest; let us Alone is
what they say. ssThree-fourths OF
the entire business world, it is claim
ed, would prefer that the tariff should
not be touched by the next congress.
They argue that the manufacturers
and merchants have adjusted them
selves to the present rates of duty and
that any change or agitation will I'M
settle values and disturb conditions to
degree that will be very damaging to
all concerned, and retard, If 1t does
not suspend, the industrial prosperity
that is just now beginning.
