Has prOspered without Saloons
and don't want them now
at WindOm.

The people of this city must again
encounterthequestion of license or no
license, petition to submit the ques-
ton to vote have already been filed.
We do not think there is much. dan
ger of license succeeding, but all
temperance people must be at work
and get their friends out. With pro-
per work there certainly can be no
danger. We have now been without
saloons for dozen years or more,
and during the time the city has ac-
hieved her greatest prosperity, built
its most valuable homes and business
houses, and doubled it's size. An
honest experiment with no license has
convinced all thinking people that we
are better off than when the saloons
were contributing thousand or more
dollars annually to the city treasury.
Business has received no backset from
it, we have lost no desirable settlers,
while steady and permanent growth
has resulted. Probably thirty busi-
ness houses have opened since the
last saloon closed it's doors. This is
putting the estimate low. We have
put in the water and light systems,
built the schooland greatly improved
the streets since the nuisance left, to
say nothing of the number of private
provements that have been made.
We know of no business men who
complain because their trade has been
injured, while We have heard farmers
many times express hope that sa-
looms had gone to stay-men who are
in the habit of drinking. In view of
the splendid record of the city and
community around it have made the
past dozen years the people are going
to think twice before they invite this
plague back. We believe that all
that is necessary for the temperance
men to do is to be awakened to work
among their friends.-Windom Re-

The Approaching Election.

Believing it is the duty of everv
newspaper to advocate policies which
its management deems best to pro-
mote the welfare of the community
in which it is located, as we'll as it
should presume to take up and dis.
cuss national and state questions for
the purpose of placing in authority a
party with whose policy a paper CO.
incides, the ADVANCE undertakes to
assist in the promoting and bringing
about preferable condition of our
village by advocating the election of
a no-license council, without waiting
until public sentiment is in our favor
or endeavoring to keep on the fence,
but at the same time favoring one
contingent.
The license question brings out all
kinds of argument for and against,
but the most common ones are: eli
cense reduces the taxes" IF license
is not granted one-eyed porkers will
subsist and just as much liquor will
be sold and with no regulation"
To grant license for the sale of in
toxicating liquors, we contend, in
creases our taxes, and we defy dis
pute. Let's see. From where are the
funds obtained for peace officials?
for convenient receptacles for drunk
en- men and for boarding them? for
the maintenance of asylums where a
large number ultimately are taken
for the damage done as the result of
liquor? for providing for the families
rendered destitute by the one upon
whom they depend being unable to
provide, either from spending their
earnings in saloon or by being
thrown out of employment for being
Incorporate? Every tax payer in
this county is paying taxes for these
very purposes. It may be that our
own sons and daughters will be in
these very circumstances soon. Are
we to vote for the licensing of an es-
tablishment we do not want our sons
and daughters to enter? If we do
and harm befalls them as it does to
thousands, who is at fault?
Place temptation before our child
rem that we may cause some one else
w E'oJ ONA VoASo CtllOuSA q
Grant license SO that every man who
drinks will pay our taxes-this ought
to be an insult to those people. For.
eigners all drink. Let's see. In the
Scandinavian peninsula in 1895 pro-
hibition prevailed in eleven out ot
thirteen cities where elections were
held, and the temperance sentiment
is growing strong in Germany.
If blind pigs do exist, young boys
are not allowed to enter, and as g
rule onl y those Gin the ring" can pro
cure liquor, thereby the patrons are
limited and the quantity of liquor
sold is greatly decreased.
But there is no excuse for these re-
sorts being permitted to run if peo
pie who call themselves temperance
people would do their duty. Las
summer, under ''regulation," young
man threatened the life of another
and himself while under the influ
ence of liquor. This licence was vot
ed to reduce. our taxes.

The Omaha Exposition.

OMAHA, Feb. 16.-This has been a
week of unprecedented activity
among promoters of the Trans-Miss-
issippl and International Exposition.
The selection of a site last week by
the board of directors; the passage by
Congress of An item on the sundry
civil appropriation bill making the
congressional appropriation of $780,,
OOO available for the purposes of a
government exhibit at the exposition;
the announcement that the Nebraska
Legislature will appropriate this week
$25O,O 900 for the exposition, and the
reports from other western states that
liberal appropriations will be passed,
all conspire to place the exposition
upon firm basis. The managers
are redoubling their efforts to pro-
mote the interests of the exposition
in the various states of the west, many
of which have already determined to
partici pate. A delegation of leading
citizens and officers of the exposition
left for the west Sunday evening,
there they are appearing before leg
isiative>ss committees ] in the various
western states whose law-maaing
bodies are now in session. This del
egation will go to the Pacific coast,
visiting Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming,
Utah, Nevada, California, Idaho,
Montana, Washington and Oregon.
Another strong delegation left for
Duluth, St. Paul, Bismarck and
Pierre last night. This delegation
is headed by Mr.. Zachary T. Lind
sey, chairman OF the executive COM
mittee. The party is composed of
influential citizens Of Omaha, Coun-
Gil Bluffs and Sioux City. This del
egation will be joined on the tour by
Hon. Frank H. Peavey of Minnea-
polls, vice-president of the Trans
Mississippi Exposition for Minnesota.
1t is provided with literature setting
forth the aims and purposes of the
exposition management and reciting
the work which has been done in be-
half of the great enterprise.
This delegation will appear before
legislative committees in the states
which they visit and their addresses
will convey to the legislators of the
north the plan and scope of the ex-
position, and will set forth the ad-
vantages and certain benefits to ac-
crue from adequate representation by
those states.

HANNIS DISTILLERY SHUT.
Government in a Wran gle With Gau-
gers and Storekeepers.

Martinsburg, w. Va, Oct 7-Acting
under instructions from the secretary
of the treasury, Internal Revenue Col
lectOr A. B. White today closed the big
Hannis distillery, pending the decision
of Judge Jackson of the United States
court on a motion to perpetuate the
injunction enjOining the collector from
assigning to duty at the distillery any
officers other than those employed
there.
The usual changes in assignments
were made by the commissioner of in
ternal revenue on Oct. 1. Democrats,
who were supplanted by Others who
We're assigned but who were not dis
missed from the service, applied for the
injunction, which was granted. As the
injunction prohibited anyone from as
Suming the duties, and as on Oct. 2 the
store keeper and gauger were suspend
ed from office by the secretary Of the
treasury for INSTRUMENTATION, there is
no gauger or store keeper in charge of
the u1Stillery.
The distillery, which has several mil
lion dealers worth of whisky in bond,
cannot be supplied under the injunction
with the officers to withdraw goods and
had to be ordered closed down until the
case is finally decided in the courts. The
government will resist the injunction

ents of very large amounts of money
from the estate of Mrs. Elizabeth Ham
mond Stickney Mrs. Stickney's will,
which was filed for probate before Judge
Kohlsaat yesterday, disposes altogether of
$59OO0O, and of this the greater part has
been bequeathed for the benefit of the
public. The Art Institute and St. Luke's
hospital come in for the biggest bequests,
but many other institutions viii also be
benefited.
The two largest bequests-thOse to the
Art Institute and to ST. Luke's hospital
are for $4,000 each. The income of the
bequest to the Art Institute is to be used
for the purchase of pictures and other
works of art and for the general purposes
of the institute The bequest of St.
Lules hospital is made with the provis-
ion that $4,000 shall be used for the main
tenance of the room known as the Ed
ward S. Stickney room, and $4,000 for the
maintenance of another room to be
known as the Elizabeth H. Stickney room.
Out of the remaining $4,000 left to the
hospital the tesla triX desires that a home
for nurses shall be built on the land de-
vised to St Lukes hospital by Mrs. E.

A sum of $25 600 is given by the will to
the trustees of St. James Episcopal
church. The Chicago Relief and Aid So

SELL THE BIRDS.
Big New York Millinery Houses Still
Handle Songsters-

New York, Oct. THE Audubon so
ciety in this city has not made any
progress in the way of influencing store
keepers, as has its sister club in Chi
cagO, where one big firm advertises
that it will sell no plumage other than
that obtained from game birds and
fowls.
All the millinery stores here sell the
birds, and the managers say the de
mand is on the increase. Still, there
are many women, according to the 10
cal dealers, who insist on having feath-
ers on their hats, and yet decline absO-
lutely to be a party to the murder of
the song birds. For these the feather
men have been compelled to find some
substitute, and they have discovered a
way of manufacturing plumage. This
is a trade secret, but they do say the
despised barn yard fowl can now be
transformed into a millinery rainbow.
Miss Knickerbocker, however, wants
the real thing, and the fall creations of
the picture hatmakers are not calculat-
ed to cheer the hearts of the admirers
of Audubon.

New York, Oct. THE one hundred

Iumbia University began today in the
beautiful new home of the university
on Morningside Heights. Later the
resignation of President Seth Low was
received and reserved for action
The joy OF this installation of profess
sors and students would have been sad

fed President Lows actual severance
of relations with the university. No
such meaning attaches to it. A COM
mittee of the board of trustees will re-
port the resignation on November Is
which is after the Greater New York
election.
If President Low is elected mayor it
is possible that he will simply be grant

GREAT GAS TRUST.
Obtains a Foothold in Boston With
Unlimited Capital

New York, Oct. THE Journal and
Advertiser says:
a group of New York capitalists has
secured control of the Massachusetts
Pipe Line company of Boston, and has
formed company known as tn New
England Gas and Coke comp ny to
take over its charter. Interested in
this syndicate are Emerson, Mcmillan
& Co., HOIlister and Babcock and Will
liam L. E1kins of Philadelphia, who is
largely interested in the Metropolitan
Street Railway company
The Dominion Coal company, which
was formerly controlled by Henry NJ.
Whitney,a brother of eX-Secretary VIII
liam c. Whitney, has also passed into
the control of this same syndicate.
The company owns large deposits of
bituminOus coal in Nova Scotia and
has a regular line of barges carrying
its products from the mines to various
New England points, principally to
Boston.
The object of the syndicate which has
acquired these two products is to man
ufacture coke. gas and bye-prOductS.
1t has already secured ground in Ever
EFT and Chelsea near Boston, on the
lines of the Boston and Albany and
Boston and Maine railways, where
coke plants of 300 ovens will be con
Structed.
According to report, this new combi-
nation will compete with the other gas
companies in Boston, beginning a gaS
war which will be fought to a finish
AS an indication of the feeling of the
holders of Bay State Gas company
stock which was formerly in the hands
of J. Edward Addicks and is now dom
mated by the Standard Oil interests,
there was a general unloading of stock
which greatly depressed its price. The
net decline for the day in Bay State
was 21@ per cent, driving the price
down to ga, which is a new record low
price. A gas war in Boston would
probably more seriously affect the
Bay State than any other gas property
there.
Following hard after the purchases of
the gas plants in Detroit, Buffalo, st.
Louis and other cities, the obtaining of
a foothold in Boston by the syndicate
is looked upon as another important
step in dividing the gas field between
two strong factions. First and fore
most is the Standard Oil company,
which has enormous interests in New
York, Chicago, Cleveland and many
other of the principal cities in the
country. If there is to be a war be-
tween the Standard Oil clique and the
new power in the gas fields, Boston is
regarded as the best field for it to come
to a climax.

WON his COFFIN.
Indiana Man Buried in Box Made
During the Campaign of 1872.

ShelbyvilIe. Ind, Oct. John Deit-
zer, for 40 years a resident of this city,
was buried here today in a coffin won
on political wager made many years
ago.
Soon after coming to this city deceas-
ed formed the acquaintance of Thomas
A. Hendricks, then a struggling law
yer in this place. He was a great ad-
mirer of the statesman, and when Gov.
Hendricks remains lay in state at In
dianapOlis, Deitzer was there to eXtOl
the good qualities of his dead friend.
When Hendricks ran for governor of
Indiana in 1872 and defeated by a mar
row margin Thomas NJ. Browne, the
story is related that from the day of
his nomination until he was inaugural
ed governor, Deitzer never closed his
eyes in sleep.
During the memorable campaign
Deitzer wagered his all on the result
the last bet made by him being $50
against a coffin with Undertaken Joseph
CumminS
Hendricks was elected. Deitzer'S s
measure taken and the coffin made.
Cummins kept it in good shape, too, but
died three years ago. and Dieter had
his coffin taken home, and it was his
last request that he be buried in it,
which was carried out.
