That proposed prohibition law in
Nebraska authorizing the arrest of
any citizen who has the odor Of liquor
on his breath doubtless is of the best
intent as far as it goes, but it doesn't
go anywhere. Nobody ever has the
odor of liquor on his breath. Now, if
the law extended to persons breathing
the fumes Of cloves, coffee, peanuts
or cardamon seeds it would produce
something near the desired effect.

Tales of the Town
My Dog and l.

My dog and |, the hills we know
Where the first faint wild roses blow
We know the shadowy paths an,
cool
That wind across the woodland dim,
And where the water beetles swim
Upon the surface of the pool.
My dog and |, our feet brush through
Full oft, the fragrant morning dew
Or, when the summer sun is high,
We linger where the river flows
Chattering and chuckling as it goes
Two happy tramps, my dog and /.
Or, when the winter SHOWS lie deep,
Into some fire-lit nook we creep
And, while the north wind bowls
outside
See castles dream of summer days,
Or, DOING, dream of summer days,
And woodland stretches, wild and
wide.
My dog and | are friends till death,
And when the chill, dark angels
breath
Shall call him from me, still know,
Somewhere, within the shadow land
Waiting his master he will stand
Until my summons comes to go.
And in that life so strange and new
Wen tramp the fields of heaven
through,
Loiter the crystal river by;
Together walk the hills of God
AS when the hills of earth we trod--
Forever friends, my dog and |.

German Runors Cause
Runs on Chinese Banks
Coolies Frightened by Stories
of Financial Ruin Circulated
Since War Was Declared

PEKING, Sept. 25.-Ridiculous ru-
mors, doubtlessly meant 70 keep China
IN a ferment, have been in circulation
since war was declared against Ger
many and Austria.
Recent runs on the branches OF the
Yokohama Specie Bank, japanese in
stitution, were inspired by reports so
wild in their nature that II is impos-
sible 10 understand how even Chinese
coolies could credit them. Prompt
payment did not check the runs in
Pckirg and Tien-Tsin for three days.
Meanwhile all North China was
alive with csnards concerning the
probable bankruptcy OF all business
concerns in Japan. One report freely
circulated among the Chinese laborers
was that foods in Corea doubtless
would ruin the Japanese government
financially.
Another report was that the Ger
mans had captured Petrogrsd, seized
the Transsiberian Railway, and were
rushing troops TO capture Japan. IL
was rumored that the German feet
had escaped into the Atlantic and was
headed for the Pacific.

Two Found Guilty
Of Riot Murders

Merchant Sent to Prison
for Is Years

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 2l.-John Cow ana
Charles Hanna, on trial in the beiie'
vile Circuit Court in connection WIN
the death OF William Keyser. an East
ST. Louis merchant, killed by a stray
bullet on July while the race riots
were at their height, were found guilty
bv Jury tonight and each sentenced
10 fifteen wears in the penitentiary.
The Jury announced that they were
unable to reach a verdict in the case OF
Harry Robinson, who was tried with
Cow and Hanna in connection with the
death OF Keyser, and discharged the
case. He will be retired, according To
an announcement made by Judge Grow:
The three men testified that they did
not take any part in the riotlng and
each denied having been armed or hav-
ing fired any shots the day that Keyser
was killed. =,
Testimony for the state had fixed
the presence of the three men IN the
mob 40 firmly that the defendants were
forced to admit that they were near
the sccne, and each told how nc had
been drawn there as a sightseer.
The three defendants took their sem
fences without much concern. and were
led back TO their cells in the county
Jail.
This is the stiffest sentence yet
handed out in the cases growing out OF
the race riots, and is year longer
than the sentence given two negroes
who were convicted Of being in the
mob that started the rioting by KILL
ing two city detectives.
Ii is the third trial to be completed.
Ten negroes have been sentenced to
fourteen years and two others, white
men, 10 fourteen years each. There
are seventy-six cases growing out OF
the riots to be tried, and it will take
