The Board Of Public Safety yesterday
decided to purchase badges of new design

UNIQUE BILL PUTS
A BAN ON KISSING
Virginia Legislator In Danger
Of Losing . Host Of
Friends.

Richmond, Va. Dec. 6. - If the bill
introduced in the Virginia legislature
by DIR. r. b. Ware. Of Amherst coun-
ty, becomes a law, sweethearts cannot
kiss each other without physicians
certificate, pronouncing them free
from disease. Failure to obey the law
will make the violator subject to a
fine of from one to five dollars for
each, kiss.
Moved by a desire to see his fellows
healthy, II not happy, DR.. Ware, who
Is practicing physician as well as
lawmaker, presented the following:
Whereas, kissing has been decided
by the medical profession to be a me-
dunn by which contagious and infec-
tious diseases are transmitted from
one person to another. and
Whereas, The prohibiting Of such
an offense will be great preventive
to the spreading of such diseases as
pulmonary tuberculosis, diphtheria
and many other dangerous diseases;
therefore be 1t enacted by the general
assembly of Virginia:
Il. That 1t shall be unlawful for
any person to kiss another, unless he
can prove by his family physician that
he has not any contagious or infec-
tious disease.
20. II physician testifies that the
defendant has weak lungs, said de-
fendant shall be found guilty OF mis-
demeanor, and the same penalty shall
be imposed as II he had some con-
taglous or infectious disease.
"3. Any person violating the provi-
sions of the first and second sections
OF this act shall be deemed guilty OF a
misdemeanor and fined not less than
one dollar nor more than FIVE for each
offense." s = ~,

Scarce:

Omaha, Neb, Dec. 5.-Nearly 1O,5OO,-

vision supply at the South Omaha
packing house as compared with this
date last year. The figures are preg-
rant with high prices for all classes OF
r1eats the coming year, whether or not
the packing house merger becomes a
fact. .-4 --
The stocks Of provisions at South
Omaha today aggregate 19,129,S5b
pounds as against 25,507 ,415 pounds on
'he same a year ago. The falling on,
while largely due to the shortage in
cattle, is more largely due to the re-
markable decrease in the receipts OF
hogs. The term provisions includes
only the cut and prepared meats and
comprehends the great staples of the
retail market outside of beef quarters.
Other Indications point to rise in
neat prices the coming year which
will exceed the prices which were
charged the past summer as due to the
beef trust" and 1t is impossible for
anyone to prevent the impending in
crease. The western ranges have been
almost denuded Of cattle, which were

nett. lie was arrested anu placeu III
iail..' HIS trial proved his guilt con-
snd he was sentenced TO
death.
Orr and Mann, two boys aged re.
spectively is and 16. who had started
out from their distant homes as
tramps, were also in Jail accused OF
TDeir victim was an OLD man
named Wattnaugh, who was also a
tramp. The boys had fallen in with
the old gentleman, who had some
a watch and other articles Of
value. The evidence proved that they
had L.et near Alliance and afterwards
went to Wcbb's sugar camp near that
place.
A DUAL CRIME.
While the old man was asleep, the
hCys made it up to kill him and get
his property. They used coupling
piE as weapon
Mann was delegated TO do the deed
and 1t was proven that he struck the
first blow, when. as Orr stated In his
confession made in the Alliance jail,
"Mann weakened, ard damn 1t flu
ished him.
The boys took all the old mans
property, Including the suit of clothes
nude except the shirt. They hurried
from the scene of the crime, think
ing that the old man was dead. y
short tone afterward the old man re-
covered consciousness and made his
way to the home OF a farmer nearby,
where he told that :he boys had rob-
bed him. IIe was almost naked and in
short time hecame unconscious and
died before giving the details Of the
crime.
Mann and Orr were followed and ar
rested about six miles from the scene
of their crime. At first they ad-
mitted their guilt, but later denied IL
and stood trial. The trials were ex.
citing and attended by immense crowds
The press was not allowed to pub
lish the testimony as 1t was feared
that II it were read in the first in
stance, or II new trials were to be had,
It would be impossible to secure jur-
les.
After fair and impartial trial, anil
in spite of a lot of sentimental SYM
pathy expressed especially by the Ia
dics, the boys were found guilty Of
murder in the first degree ard senten-
ced to be hanged. 1t was arranged
that all three should be hanged upon
the same day.
THE TRIFLE, EXECUTION.
a modern aallows was erected in
the jail and Sheriff Henry Altekruse
prepared for the fatal day. When the
tire arrived for the execution. thous-
ands upon thousands Of people gath.
cred around the Jail. Business in the
city was suspended and every one
waited until the trap was sprung
Tho execution was a success. The
three youthful murderers died few
minutes after the trap fell. Shortly
after this execution the law was chang
ed so that all executions were to take
place in the penitentiary by regularly
appointed oxecuticner.
Orr aud Mann, while they were in
Jail awaiting sentence. were visited
by thousands of girls ard women, who
]avished upon them flowers, tears anil
sympathy. This was carried on to a
degree that became nanseating. The
boys seemed to enjoy their notoriety
ant wrote several pieces Of poetry
witch they sold to visitors.
They had hopes of pardon Up al
most to theslast. but 1t did not come,
and on June rs, 1880, they died upon
,he gallows, the victims of yellow
backed literature and consuming de-

heroes.
