City:
WHEREAS: During several years
past the City of Mo. Valley hae
derived from taxes. and licenses
paid by the saloons a very large
amount of money! constituting a
very large proportion of the city
tax, and by,reason Of recent decis-
sions of the Court, the saloons
can no longer operate under for
mer statements OF consent, and as
it is now evident BY the refusal of
a large percentage of the voters of
Missouri Valley to sign a new
statement of consent. that the sa-
looms will be unable to resume bu-
siness in this city, and the city
will therefore be Immediately de-
prived of the revenue heretofore
from such sources, and whereas,

MANY PLAQUES IN AFRICA.
Both Man and Boast Are Made Miser.
 ahfe by Natures Pests.

Both Man and Beast Are Made Miser-
 able by Natures Pests.
 From Ainslee's Magazine. South Af- rica exports hides, wool and mohair. and the ranchman would revel in riches were it not for the various pests that decimate his fioeks and herds The most deadly one is the rinderpest, cattle plague which in the last ten years has been slowly creeping from Central Africa southward, leaving a wake of ethitened bones. In travelling through Natal 1 saw fifty oxen lying lead about a spring, SC suddenly had the disease attacked them. It was al- nest impossible to get an untinged piece of steak at a restaurant, though the proprietor resented any such charge, and a plethoric German travel, CT who called out in loud tone for roast rinderpest'' in the railroad cafe at De Aar Junction, Cape Colony, had 70 be picked up in fragments. pr. Koch and other eminent specialists tried to stop this plague. The country is now recovering from it slowly. Another pest is the tsetse fly, an insect resembling our common house fly, but three times as large. It's bite will kill horse, COW or any other domestic animal in about ten days, but, strange 10 say, does not affect wild animal or human being. A less dangerous, but more troublesome, pest is the white ant, which is about one-quarter of an inch long and ubiquitous in many parts of the country. They live under the ground, and can only be routed by killing the queen, which sometimes reaches the size of one inch in length This insect is particularly harassing in Rhodesia. At Buluwayo my travelling companion inadvertently left his boots on the floor after turning in at night and he arose next morning to find the uppers carefully separated from the zoles. Lucky you didn't leave your clothes on the floor" was the hotel keepers only consolation. These ants will eat through anything but metal and for that reason much of the build Ing is done with corrugated iron. The anthi1l is one of the conspicuous land marks In travelling over South Africa.

<llaangss an the Text of shakespsars's
 oreat Play.

great Play.
 Two tragedies Were given by the Sapanese players at the Boston theater recently, and the author of both-Ka- wakami-played the leading part in each. Japanese playwrights are cer- tainly versatile, and when the amount Of physical labor involved in these tra- gedies is considered, they cannot be said to be afraid of hard work, says the Boston Herald. The Japanese idea of
 The Merchant of Venice" which the author attempts to show in "Sairoku" and in which he plays the name part, proved hardly as entertaining as might be expected. It might be called weari- some in places, owing to the protraeted dialogue and insufficient pantomime to clearly indicate what the people were talking about The main features q the play are copied, with some changes Thus the Jewish miser becomes a Ja, panese mtserly fisherman, the pound ot flesh is three square inches," to be cut off nearest the heart of the lover O. {. ] miser's daugater, who has borrow ed 5000 rio under the pledge of flesh f. 'feiture; and an older daughter is fsa Portia who becomes the judge and l. les the lovers life. The play ends t~ppily in the repentance of siroku, though not before the tragic element is devolyed in the suicide of the young. CT daughter. The shorter play that opened the bill and is called Scarlet Snow" is based on events following the visit of Commodore Perry in Japan in 1853, and the tragic fate of Minister Tairo Ramon in consequence Of his signing a treaty in opposition to the wishes of the exclusion party The hand-to-hand fighting that comprises almost the entire second act and that reddens the deep snow with blood gives the name to the play, and is study of muscular realism on the stage The play is given entirely by the men, but in "Siroku" two ladies of the com- pany, Sada Yaeco and Mikami, give de. lightful performances as the tive daughters.

however, they felt desire to see
the big world outside, and, according
ly, fell into the habit of taking long
rambles by night
1t was while returning home early
one morning from one of these ram
bles that the prettiest one of the lot
came face to face with bright-eyed
boy of about H. For moment both
were too frightened to move; but The
boy soon recovered and made pris-
oner of the poor little raccoon. For a
time the little captive bore his inn
prisonment very sullenly; but good
food and kind treatment soon
changed his wild, shy nature into
spirit of love and confidence. When
he had attained full size his appear
ance was between that of fox and
bear, on smaller scale, of course.
For the benefit of our girls and
boys interested in nature, our friend,
Mr.. E. A. Sterling. sends photograph
of this pretty and intelligent little
animal climbing up the big limb of a
tree.
In the wild state the raccoon always
conducts himself like perfect little
gentleman. His favorite feeding
grounds are along the shady banks
of streams. or in some swampy bit OF
woods, where can be found those large
delicious frogs he loves so well. He
has, however, no scruples against GO
ing out into the fields and orchards
