A New Sciecce, tbe Priccipals of Which sre Lad Down by Collector Post, The Assiduous Study of Which Will Head off Evaders of the Lo- oal Lngquor Laws, The followlng lctter has been sent by Oollector Post to hia deputies. It will be interesting reading to the general public, particularly to partles who are selling or conteiplate selling the various substitates for lager beer, which are now belng offered by the manufacturers and which are derigned to afford a beverage for consumption in places where stringent liquor laws prevail: UNITED STATES INTERNAL REVENUE | Collector's Oftice, Dist. of Nebraska f OxanA, February 12, 1885, This office is in recelpt of information that cortaln malt beveragci, manufac- tared principally, it is presumed, for the purpose of evading the provitions of stringent liquor laws, are being sold in this district by persons and firms who have not paid their special tax or malt liquer dealers. One of theeo beverages is known to the trade as *‘Carbonated Malt Extract,” another is *‘B. B.” which {s understood to be an abbreviation of either *‘Bariey Brow” or ‘‘Bottled Beer.” Having investigated the process of manufacture of both liquers, the *‘Malt Ixtract” belng put up by Pomy & Sig- olke of this city, and the “‘B. B."” by Whesler & Herald, of Councll Fluffs, Towa. | am prepared t>pronounca them malt liquor within the meaning of the United Ssates statutes, which imposes a special tax upon vendara of the sime. Examinaticn loto the matter by this office and neighboring ones reveals the faot that In manipulating the “R. B.” unfermented worta sra removed froma brewery to a soda water bottling house, where Irish mcss s added to produce a foam, and the eame bottled witn carbon- at:d water. That is, carbenic acid is in fused Intn the wcrts as a substitute for the quality usually given by the process of fermentation, In the case of ‘'Car- bonated Malt Extract” a bottle is half or two-thirds filled with lager beer re- ceived direct from a brewery, when car- bonated water is added to complete the manufacture. It will thus be seen that the liquors in question are made of the materials unsu- ally employed in the production of the formented liquors in section 3,439 R. S., and I am convinced the ditference be- tween them is in degree rather than in character. You are accordingly instructed to re- quire of dealers in these beverages pay- ment of spe taxes as retail liquor dealers, thetr applications dating from the time theybegan seliing the same; and the penalty of 50 per cent will, of course, be exacted in all caccs where liahility to the sume has been incurred. Respect- fally, Greorge W. Posr, Collector. A JOURNALISTIC CROOK. Learche, the Defaulting German Ed. itor, Arrestcd in This City Last Night, Officer Joe Rowles performed a very creditable piece of work last nigh! in the arrest of A, Liearche, the Council Blafts swindler. The prisoner was turned over to Deputy Marshal Bates, who took him to the Bluffs. The history of the crime for which Learche is under arrest has already been adve.ted to in the Council Blufis columns of this paper. It appears that a week ago last Monday Learche, who was editor of the Freio Presse, was collectinga bill at the office of Cunrad Geise, in Council Bluffs, Inthe money drawer was lying a $100 note drawn on a Carrol county bank, and made io favor of Geise, It s supposed that while no one was pressnt, the tricky editor etole the note. At any rate, no matter under what circumstances the theft wass committed, the note was taken by Lrarche to the bank, where it was, according to custom, refused, ustil the question of ownership was guaranteed. ‘I'he note was surir.n. dered on a recsipt, the bank promising to collect it for Learche, Shortly after- wards he became scared, went to the bauk, surzendered his receipt and recov- ered the note again, Soon after this he left the Biutli, not, however, bef rc Geise, who had failed to p1omptly notify the police hiad been apprised of the pre- sental of the check. Learche went to Mineola, wheace, after collecting a few bills he started, 1t is eupposed, for St Louls. nonexttoraed up in this city, where lis arrest was succeesfully effected by Ofticer Rowles and Deputy Marshai Bates. e —— ARMY OKDERS, A Whole Grist of Aews for (he Boys Who Wear the Blue, Recrult John W, Moffit, enlisted at Fort Douglss, Utah, is assigned to com- pany G, Gth icfantry, Recrait Henry Alle, enlisted at Fort D.

The Other Side—An Interview With Mr. Howell, A reporter of the Ber yesterday cal'ed upon Howell, of the Omaha Coal and Produce compiny, in order to obtain the other eideof the coal controversy which has arisen between that company and Mr. Nichol. ““The coal men,” taid Mr. Howell, ‘*are not by any means robbers of the poor. There Is not one of them, as we can truthfully assert, who does votbestow charities upon des:rving applicants. The stat:ment of Nichol was made from a mo- tive to get even on a previous businets al- tercation. No man In business can avold these unpleasantnesses. If a man is re- tuted credit he isan enemy. If heis strongly pressed in collecttons he be. comes the same. Any commodily bandled ss coal is dumped upon the pavement where It usually re mains for hours ay this was, and then carrled into a grocery atore and weizhed in bucket and basket fullsona small acales, would not hold out as in bulk at the yards, thoogh handled without prejudice. All coal deslers have, as we have, a man to welgh who has no other possible Interest than to do right between the dealer and purchaser. The scales ate under clty inspection the same as city scales. The line referred to on our tickets ‘weighingon ciy scales waived,’ simply means thit pariies vpon the delivery of coal cannot demand with- out a previous understanding that the teamster ba required to haul the coal a mile or two to city scales. All the deal- ers, including ourselves, are quite wiliing to weigh on city scales at the cost of the purchaser, but they cannot afford to pay doubls hauling snd the weigh fess in addition out of thelr own pockets.” THE CONCORDIA BALL.

An Explanation of the Term and the Bupposed Origin of St, Valen« tine's Festival, " The 14thday of February which is Satorday next, fs what is commonly known as St. Valentine's day. It is the custom of modern times for youthfal lovers to exchange compliments on this day and the trade In valontines this sea- son has heen brlsk, All the wcrld knows that the 14th of February Is Valentine's day, But why February, and why the 14th and why St. Valentlne are not so universally understood. 7 Indeed there is much about it that has not yet been settled by echel- ars. February obtalns I's name from februare which means to purify or expl- ate, and the menth was thus named from the Lupercalia, onc the great Romaa fertivals. A part of the rites f this festival consletad in putting the names of joang women into a box from which they wete drawn by men S me gocd auttor- ittes on histcry claim that 1the Chris ian clorgy being urabie toabolish these psgan rites endeavored to give them a rel'g ous aspect by substitu'liz the names of the ea'nta for these of women, and this hes given rite to 1ha custom which Fas pre. vailad to eome extent at least i the Ro- man Catholic church of selecting a pat- ron salot for the yesr, who fs termed a valentine, The 14th of February is St. Valentine’s feetival, but whether that day had been assigned to bim for some other reason, and then the love makiog patt of the anclent rites assigned t> his festival day because he was, ss history tells vs, an admirable msn and famous for his love and cherity, or whether that dey was choeen for the festival of thisgoodly sant because already sacred to therites of love, does not appear. It was the custom in Epgland, Scot- 1and and some parts of the continent for young folks to assemble and place the nemes of the men on billets of paper In one receptacle and the names of young women in another, then eich drew a name of the opposite sex. Accordingly each person chose a valentine and alio became some one else’s valentine. As being a person’s valentine implied devo- tion and service for the year, queer com- plications must often have aiisen which would give the conirary minded plenty of opportunity to torment their adorers. Miseon, a traveler of the last century, commenting on the custom, says that “‘the msn stuck faster to the va'cntine that had fallen to him than to her to whom he bad fallen ” The custom of giving presents was also in vogue, but later 0a the oblization was restricted to the yoonz men. Ocher anthoritles attribute the customs of this day to the remains of the primit va nature—worship which pre- valled in Ncrthwetsern Eurcp:? An old dictlonary gives this explanation: “About this time of the year the birds choose their mates, end probably thence came the custom of the young men and maidens choosir g valentives for spec'al lovng friends on that day.” But the former explanation is much more the probable, cepacially at one time the fes tival had a graceful symbolic meaning implying mutusl trust and service be:- treen the sexes analogoas to those of the days of chivalry—and marricd as well as single people could be chosen as valen- tines, Nothing could be more reprehensible and degrading or farther rewoved from the spirit of St. Valentine and the anci- ent rites, than the custom that now prevalls 5o largely of sending through the malls the hideous cavicaturcs which pro- fane the shop-windo#s of book and news dealors at this eeason of the year. When cur grandparents were young the cus- toms of the day took the form of convey- ing to the loved one in peracn or by mes- senger, some appropriate sentiment origi- nal or ec'e:ted couched n postic phrase, TEST YOUR BAKING POWDER TC-DAY. tely puro OoNTIA. until heated, thew i+ will ot be re- i xi!unx goee, DOES NOT CONTAIN AMMONIA.
