TO CURE WOMEN
 DRUG F|eNDS
Statd and County Authori- ties Fail Now Up
 to City.

Little Rock, Oct. 7.-Someone has been found who is willing to take the job of reforming May Fox and Lizzie Moore, the two Little Rock women whom state and county authorities refuse to handle, and the city is forced to take the job. The women arp drug fiends, and have sunk to the lowest depths of depravity,
 but secure from punishment, as they will not be taken at the county farm. and the peniten- tiary walls never held a white woman, they run matters with a high hand. They do as they please. Once recently they were placed in the city jail and kept there for two weeks, deprived of their drug for the entire time,
 and manp were their promises to leave the city in return for lib- erty. They are still here. The person who now wants to try the reformation job. which had been undertaken by all charitable in- stitutions of state, county and city, to be thrown up as a bad job, is a country woman, who resides in Saline county. The woman called at police head quarters and said she would do the work and guarantee the job, if the city would hang up a purse sufficient to pay her for the trou- ble. She was informed by Ser geant Walpole that the city had not made any such appropriation. but she was welcome to give the city a sample of her methods of reformation. and it would not be hard to then get a good round

Platsmouth, Neb.. Oct. 15. - William J. Bryan closed his three days speaking tour of his home state with a large meeting in this city tonight, feeling that Nebraska can be safely counted in the Democratic column this year by a larger majority than he received in 1896.
 His addresses were more az gressive than they have been during the week. At Tecumseh he was vehement in his denuuci- ation, among other things, saying of MT. Cannon:
 It used to be said of a noted criminal lawyer that a burglar never entered a house to commit burglary without first making in- quiry as to the health of this lawyer, and no man in Congress who plans raid against the American people does so without first getting a promise of recog- milton from Mir.

 At that place he also denied that MT. Roosevelt was the father of the princip es which the re- formers advocated.

SALARIES OF PUBLIC OFFICERS

The Hartford Conrant thinks it too
bad that the American government
does not make some such provision
for the pensioning of high officers of
our government as is the custom in
Great Britain.
The Hartford newspaper cites in
particular the case of our speaker
In Great Britain the speaker of the
house is paid salary of $500 a
gear and is given fine residence in
London. with allowances for its main
tenance When he retires as speaker
he is elevated TO the peerage and
granted pension of $4,000 a year
for life.
Similar provision is made for mem
bers of the cabinet. that is for the
higher members of the cabinet Ev-
cry Englishman who serves In one
of the more important positions in
the cabinet is granted pension Of
$4,000 a year for life upon retire
ment, no matter how brief may have
been his tenure of office, and some-
times in Great Britain cabinet min
listers only serve a few weeks.
The speaker of the American con-
gress receives a salary of s12. 900 a
year. and has no retiring pension
On the other hand the American
speaker enjoys far more power than
the English speaker. In congress the
speaker appoints all the committees
and frequently amounts to an actual
Dictator The English speaker is
purely presiding officer. Parliament
elects all its own committees, the
speaker merely acts as a Judge OF

TEMPERANCE DAY

the number of our where law

shown both in the number of adher-
