NO MORE TICKET scALPING IN
CHICAGO.

Illinois comes into line with New
York and Pennsylvania in vigorous
action against the ticket scalping
thieves and forgers, three having
been sentenced on Saturday, in Chi
cago, after a fortnight's trial, one of
whom profiting by his experience,
pleaded guilty to second indictment,
while the trial of the, others will
doubtless proceed to another convic-
ton. Chicago has long been favor
lite field for ticket speculation, and a
blow against the nefarious practice
could nowhere have been landed more
effectively. The persistent and unit
ed efforts of the leading railroads of
the country to exterminate the bust
cess. which is simply one of petty lar
ceny, robbing the poor and the wage
earners, are bringing most satisfac-
tory results.-From the Brooklyn
Standard Union.

dismounted, but somehow his foot
caught awkwardly in the 'stirrup, and
he fell, AS he rose, he saw a broad
grin on the face of Sam. His rage,
long at the smoldering point, burst
forth, and, lifting his riding whip, he
struck the boy severely across the
face with it.
Take that, you black nigger!" he
said, with an oath, "and learn not to
laugh at your betters!"
A great veal rose on the boys brown
face, as he uttered an involuntary ex-
clamation. 1t reached Bluebell's ears,
and she ran out quickly. A glance at
the two revealed everything, and she
turned on Moore white with scorn and
anger.
you struck my boy? How dared
you, coward?" she cried, her voice full
of ringing scorn and indignation.
And you dared to say to me what
you did a few minutes ago! If l were
my father, ! would never let you cross
New Kelso again! Don't touch the
boy again! dare you!"
She turned from him with mex
pressible contempt, and walked with
Sam to the stables.
Gerald Moore looked after her, an
ugly line Of anger along his lips.
!" 'Dared?'" he repeated to himself.
"You shall pay for this yet, my lady!
Oh, you shall pay for it with your very
heart blood!"
He smiled a smile that had some
thing fiendish in it. .a
Moore remained to supper. It was
rather a gloomy meal. Mr.. Leslie
looked downcast, perhaps sulky. Miss
Elizabeth was agitated and anxious.
Only Moore talked and TESTED rather
more than usual. AS for Bluebell, she
never once looked at or spoke to him.
She went to her own room after sup
per and did not know when Moore
left. About nine o'clock Miss Eliza
beth knocked at her door.
Your father wants TO speak to you
downstairs, Bluebell."
"Now for it," thought the girl. She
opened the door. well, auntie, I'll
go down. suppose Mr.. Moore is
away?"
YES" said Miss Elizabeth. II won
der why he comes so much to New
kelso, Bluebell? l don't like him, las
sie."
Nor l." Bluebell answered.; "but he's
millionaire, auntie, and that goes a
long way with some. Well, I'll go
down anyhow, and see what dad has
to say"

PREVENTS SMALLPOX.

Alabastine will not cure smallpox
and other contagious diseases, once
they have fastened their deadly grip
upon their victims. It will do much,
however, toward preventing their
spread.
8 It is well recognized facts that GER
tain wall coatings do much to harbof
disease germs and propagate same;
that Of all coverings wall paper is
the most likely to hold the germs Of
disease for months and years.
There are we'll authenticated cases
where smallpox, scarlet fever and other
germs have lain dormant for years.
and have attacked persons afterward
when the paper was removed.
kalsomines stuck on the wall with
decaying glue are not much better
than wall paper with it's vegetable
paste.
Alabastine is recommended gener-
ally by sanitarians, as coating for
walls in any style of work, as it is
perfectly sanitary, is in the nature of
disinfectant, presents a perfectly

lodgment ground for disease germs.
Years ago these matters received
but little attention, but modern scien.
lists, becoming appalled, at the spread
OF the dread disease, smallpox, and
the difficulty in stamping it out. have
gone to investigating causes, and un-
hesitatingly say that improper wall
coatings have very much to do with
this.
Alabastine is recommended to be
used on all infected walls, to destroy
germs and to get walls once more in
a healthy condition.

DEATH OF WILLIAM E. ANNIN
Well Known Omaha Man Succumbs tO
Consumption at Phoenix,
Arizona.

A dispatch from Phoenix, Ariz., brings
news Of the death there yesterday Of
William Edwards Amin, for many years a
citizen Of Omaha. Mr.. Amin had gone to
Phoenix to ward off the consumption
malady to which he was a victim. His wife
was with him.
William Z. Amin has been identified with
western journalism and western interests
for twenty-five years. Coming west in the
later '70s with a geological expedition from
Princeton college. from which he had just
graduated, he became enamored Of the west
and western people and settled among
them. His first work as a writer was on
the Omaha High School Journal in 1879, and
the same year he Joined the stan OF The
Bee. For six years following he served in
various capacities, chiefly as associate edi-
tor, and later. while private secretary to
Senator Paddock. acted as Washington cor
respondent for The Bee. His last news
paper assignment was on the staff of the
Philadelphia Ledger at Washington. -Four
years ago he was appointed by Postmaster
General Smith chief of the western division
Of the rural free delivery, with headqusr-
ters at Denver. The success Of that branch
Of the postal service in the west and. in
deed, In the entire country, is due in large
degree to the ability and energy Of Mr..
Amin. He drafted the rules Of that
branch and his reports of the western
division and the suggestions embodied in
them we're instrumental in shaping aud per-
feeting rural delivery. He married the
daughter of Major ]. w. Paddock OF Omaha
and leaves two daughters and q widow.

made during the evening largely dealt with
the plans of the new church, which is TO be
