Saloons Must Stay Closed.

If the determination of the
prosecuting attorney of the coun-
ty and of the city attorney is car
ried out, there will be no COM
plants of open saloons next Sun
day as there was last Sabbath
day.
A consultation was held last
evening in the office of Prosecut-
ing Attorney Daues between the
two men in whose hands reposes
the power to put the lid on tight.
1t developed that complaint
was made to City Attorney Ca
ruthers by several saloon keepers
that other saloons were open last
Sunday, which fact did not need
their announcement to confirm
the opinion of the general public
that drinks could be obtained at
many places.
The cause assigned for the vi
olation of the lid proclamation
handed out sometime ago by
Prosecuting Attorney Daues was
the nearness of the fall elections.
1t has always been the custom
that the saloons, or at least the
more bold, keep open and run as
they desire just before the elec-
tions, meeting little objection
from the authorities. 1t seems
that some of the saloon keepers
of this city took the same view of
the matter this year and opened
their places on Sunday, thinking
that the attorneys would not les
sen their chances of getting votes
by antagonizing the saloon inter-
ests,
A big noise was heard issuing
from Prosecuting Attorney Daues
office last evening. When a rep
resentative of the Daily Repubh-
can hooked in he discovered Mr..
Daues laying down on his inten-
tions of starting anew his fight
against the Sunday law breakers.
When asked the cause of his
threats against those violators he
explained:
: "Lafe has just brought me
word that certain saloon keepers
who have observed the Sunday
closing law have complained to
him that others violated the law
last Sunday and kept open while
they closed. The saloon keepers
who have observed my mandate
handed out some months ago
asked him if those who kept open
had been given permission to do
so by his office or mine. They
seem to think that the approach
ing elections have had something
to do with the infractions of the
law last Sunday.
"You understand it has always
been the custom for everything
to run wide open just before the
elections, the candidates being
afraid to oppose anybody for fear
of losing a vote or two. -

HE MASAl OF AFRICA.


/ A Queer Race Where the Men Be-
| come Old at Thirty.
The young men of that African race,
the Nasal, are all warriors, theoretical
| ly, between the ages approximately Of
/ seventeen and twenty-seven. When in
| this stage they are known in their own
| language as ell moran. They pull the
head hair out to its greatest length
even sometimes twisting aud plating
| fiber and string into their wool The
hair is then thickly coated with mutton
fat and red clay and tied into perukes.
| All hair on the face and body is pluck
| ed out by iron tweeZers. The skin is
| kept constantly fabricated with NUT
| ton fat mixed with red clay, but as a
| rule the body is not disa greeably oily,
and this fabrication only has the result
of giving a beautiful polish to their
statuelike forms
AS regards the body there is proba-
bly, no more beautifully formed type of
man than the young Nasal warrior.
| The face is sometimes in keeping with
| the body, but more often has rather
| brutal aspect. The Nasal are not pure
negroes, but obviously received very
long while ago a slight infusion of
Hamitic blood from races dwelling to
the east Of the Waite Nile. While they
are in the youngman-warrior stage the
Nasal live principally on milk and on
blood drawn from the veins of living
cattle. They also occasionally eat the
meat Of oxen, goats or sheep.
When a Nasal decides that he has
had enough knocking about and has
accumulated sufficient property on
which to retire he decides to marry.
This is usually about the age of TWEEN
| ty-seven to thirty. After marriage he
shaves his head, or at any rate keeps
the hair Of his head very close cropped.
He ceases to anolnt himself with NUT
ton fat and definitely ranges himself
with the old men
