At . o'clock on Friday evening, the last
Friday of the carnival, the hcralds sound
trumpets. The guard of honor approaches
the entrance to the ball room, where the
throne is placed. with them comes the
king in all Of the majesty which surrounds
a king elected for his eminent qualities by
his fellows. Then with sweeter and more
appealing music come the maids of honor
and with them the queen. They proceed to
the throne, where with a fanfare from the
trumpets they take their places and un-
mask. The march of the guards before the
throne opens the ball, Which lasts until the
most interchangeable dancer is ready for rest.

C"1HE Ak-Sar-Ben ball for seven years
has marked the opening of the
- social season of Omaha, and each
EWNAEH year it has been more attractive
and complete in it's arrangements
than that which preceded. When the first
ball was given in 1895 it was much Of an
experiment. To be sure in years before
that we had attended the annual charity
ball and other quasi-public entertainments
at which the feminine portion of society
had endeavored to appear in more than or
binary splendOr, but such a thing as an an
nual carnival ball had never before been
undertaken. 1t was the result of the visit
Of the special committee of the Retailers
association to New Orleans. where they
had received pointers on the subject of
carnivals. The Mardi Gras ball, with the
presence of the king and his royal consort,
has been a feature of the carnival in the
Crescent City since the carnival was first

to the truth of the statement. The
main reason, perhaps, is that tile
blind piggers sell the worst kind of
liquor. There are some wholesalers
who make a speciality Of cheap liquor
and there is big demand for il in
this region because it seems to sell
just as we'll rs something better and
there is more profit in the stuff The
great bulk Of the customers of liquor
don't know good from bad. The kind
of whiskey the blind piggers sell is
calculated to make d man who takes
about three drinks to forget his name
for from 10 hours to a whole day.

to suppress these places or not, but |

Against the Brewers.

Ina case from Escanaba, Mich,
Circuit Judge Stone. of Marquette,
mas filed an opinion Of widespread i'm
portance to Brewers. The decision
was rendered in Il liquor law violation
case in which Clayton Voorhees,, Of
Gladstone was the defendant, and is
10 the effect that Inside brewers CALI
not sell their product in the state eX-
cepL on the payment Of the wholesale
license of $500 in every community in
which they desire TO do business
through an agent. VOORHEES, is ac-
cordingly found guilty us charged,
having paid no tax while rep. esent-
ing Il Minneapolis concern as agent,
The effect Of the decision will be
far-reaching, and will in particular
hit the Chicago, Milwaukee and
Minneapolis brewers, who have Il
large trade in the upper peninsula.
Tie decision is based on the act of
congress approved Aug. 8, 1890,
amending the Interstate commerce
law so as to give each state power 10
contro' and regulate the sale of all Ii
quors manufactured outside the state
and carried into the state for sale

Startling Statements.

The blind pig industry of the wilds
backsUf the iron ranges has, accord
ing to reports, reached an important
degree Of development, but necessarily
of u temporary character. Que
authority has given the number in
Northern Minnesota at 405. That
these figures will asLonish every body
except perhaps the wholesale dealers
in poisonous compounds that masoue-
rade as whiskey, goes without saying.
1t is an announcement of the breath
taking variety. Assuming that even
100 of these Sightless pOrkers do bust
ness for one year, ST. Louis county
losses 5000, O00-quite tidy sum even
for this division of the state. The
county license is $500 and escaping
payment of this is what makes these
saloons blind pigs. The amount of
money would build fine court house
and the county hospital that the poor
board is anxious to have.
A well known resident of a Mesaba
range town says that he has no doubt
that the report of several hundred
blind pigs is substantially correct.
Said he:
"Blind pigs exist in proximity to
nearly ali camps and mines, and other
places where men are employed in
sufficient numbers to attract the
dealers in bad booze, but they have
been driven from the vicinity of the
mines contrOlled.by the United States
Steel company. The attitude of the
steel corporation is hostile to these
dives, and if the places are found
nearby, and eXerting a demoralizing
effect on the miners, steps are at once
taken to wipe them out.
zone blind pig can do more harm
than two or three regularity licensed
saloons. - don't know why that is,
but those WAC are posted will attest

After Range Roads.

Governor Van SAINT has instructed
Attorney General Douglas to begin
proceedings in the state court against
the alleged merger of iron range rail
roads. The bill will be filed very
soon, and the United States Steel cor
poration, which is reputed to own The
stock of the Duluth, Missabe g.
Northern and Duluth & Iron Range
roads, will be made party defend
ant. The Steel corporation main
tains offices at Duluth, and it is
thought there will be no difficulty in
reaching it through the state courts.
The railroads have not actually con-
solidated and maintain separate or
ganizations. but are alleged to be I'M
der common control. The same
question involved in the states COM
plant against the Northern Securi-
ties company is at issue in the pre-
sent action. namely, lis it CONSOLE
dation for one person or corporation
to hold controlling interest in two
parallel and competing roads?" 1t is
hoped that it may be possible in this
case to settle the question which the
state has so far been unable to get
before court in the Northern Secur-
tiles case. 1t is not stated definitely
when the suit will be brought, but
Attorney General Douglas is under
stood to be at work on the bill Of COM
plant, and as soon as it is completed
the action will be commenced.
