TRICKS OF ALCOHOL SMUeGLER
City Authorities of Paris Have
Much Trouble with the
Gentry.

Because the city OF Paris exacts a duty
OF nearly 81 cents quart on alcohol
brought within its limits there has arisen
a class OF professional smugglers who re-
sort to all manner of ingenious tricks to
get the precious 1uid past the ofncers at
the barriers without paying duty. For sew
eral months smugglers disguised as stone-
masons carried wooden beams through the
gates without attracting the attention Of
the officers on guard. One day just as the
last man OF the squad passed the barrier
with CHEEKY "Bonjour comrades he
stumbled over a stone and fell headloug.
darted forward to help him to his feet.
The fallen man jumped up and made on.
leaving the beam behind him. Moreover.
his companions took to their heels. The
reason for their flight was soon plain
From one end Of the beam there oozed a
thin stream OF alcohol. The beam was hol-
low.
A successful type Of smuggler Is a
smartly dressed man Of leisure. Under his
spotless waistcoat and white shirt he car
ries an india rubber plastron brimful of
alcohol. Sometimes the india rubber re-
oeptacle is replaced by one OF tin. Even
a tall silk hat has been used to conceal the
heavily taxed mud. A smuggler Of the
same class has been known 10 CARR an
innocent-looking portfolio which contained
not papers hut alcohol A fashionably
dressed woman has carried enough alcohol
under her skirts to stock a small saloon
This class Of smuggler Is very dificult TO
catch.
Double-bottomed bottles and other ves-
sells are common contrivances OF smuEEIers
In order not to awaken suspicion they are
usually filled with some beverage. beer or
wine and this il duly declared by the man
in charge 81 the vehicle In which they are
carried. AT the present time, however, the
officers are never deceived by the double
bottomed bottles nor for that matter. by
the hollow horse collars. which at one time
was favorite dodge OF the alcohol snug
gler.
During a period Of over six months the
customs employees at the various barriers
Of Paris saw two men pass before their
offices carrying a very fine funeral wreath.
Naturally they never asked for duty on
such an article as that. The wreath con-
tanned nearly forty quarts OF alcohol The
smugglers took every precaution against
discovery, never passing through the same
barrier twice running. but the trick was
discovered at last by an inquisitive ofhcer

inE Lines.

No one who has been studying the bust
ness expansion OF the country viii be sur
prised at the situation which now con-
fronts the entire railroad interests OF the
United States. We have outgrown our rail-
roads, and at this. the most favorable sea-
son OF the year for expeditions handling of
freight. practically the whole railroad sys-
TEN of the country is so overwhelmed
with business that there IL a real shorta Sc

those who have been watching the relative
growth Of the country and its railroads.

cars locomotives and ton mileage Of the
railroads OF the country for 1895, 1870 and

ton mileage of freight traffic increased by
IS 900 COO 600 TONS or just little less than lOl
ptr cent, and the passenger mileage by $780,
ono. 600, or 70 per cent. These figures give
some indication OF the very great improve
ment in the trafhc per car and per locomo-
tive. With a gain OF only "a per cent in the
number Of locomotives the freight trafac has
increased nearly 100 per cent. while the mile
age Of railroads increased during the period

has gone on still more rapidly. and we are

YEISER BGLTS ALL TICKETS
will File Formal CbjsCtiOns to Nomination
Certificate To Any Candidate,
PICKS HIGHEST NINE OUTSIDE SLATE
Hannibal Of Omaha bar Springs sur-
prise on Enemies In Cross
ing Alps of Present
Campaign.

John o. Teiser took an entirely rev tack
IN his fight for the nomination for state
representative when he served notice on
the cnnvaesing board Saturday morning he
would nle formal objections to the issuance
OF certificates Of nomination to any one Of
the eleven candidates whose names APP
penred on the so-called slate. He said he
would insist that the nomination 20 to the
nine not on the slate who received the
largest number Of votes. This move has
no connection with HID charges OF fraud in
the Third ward, but he also holds those
charges up his sleeve for use in case It
becomes necessary.
Mr. Yeiser secured a temporary injunction
from Judge Kennedy Saturday morning
covering the same ground as the restrain
ing order issued against the Fontanelle
club just before the primaries. He asserts
this restraining order was violated and
that the candidates on the slate cannot take
advantage Of the violation OF law to get
into ONCE. He therefore holds that none
OF the eleven in whose interests he declares
the law was violated can legally have the
nomination.
The board took no action Saturday, as
the written protest was not filed, but In
case It refuses to head the protest he in
timated he would go into court for another
injunction.
Temporary Injunction Issued.
The temporary Injunction secured from
Judge Kennedy restraints the Fontanelle
club from using money donated by corpo-
rstions for the furthering OF the interest
Of candidates and from distributing cards
containing the names of a slate agreed
upon by any combination, with the provi-
sion that 1t should not prevent individuals
from pressing the claims OF their favored
candidates. As the primary Is over. the
Injunction can serve no purpose except
that 1t continues the original order OF the
court in force and may be used in the
threatened contest before the courts.
With the exception OF Mr.. Yeisers new
move nothing OF interest developed before
the board. The recount was completed
through the Second precinct Of the Fourth
ward. The result of the count this far is
TO make a net loss of three votes for
Yeiser, two for Harvey, ten for Andersen
and a gain of three votes for Best. The
board did not meet Saturday afternoon,
but the recount will begin again Monday,

OF the ambulance from w. E. wakeley

charged a deal had been entered into

The charges produced heated deniais

When the vote was taken Bruning sided

at 500 and asking bidders to detail the
