\ 'LAW VIOLATIONS IN LINCOLY, "ha Oity Ordinances in Regard to Saloons Bet at Defiance. POLICE DEAF, DUMB AND BLIND. The Lawless Element Allowed to Have ‘fhings Their Own Way Before Election—A ket in the City Council, |FROM TIE BEF'S LINCOLN BUREAU.| Speaking of city affairs in general an old citizen said to your correspondent that “neither the Slocumb law nor any other law or ordinance 18 obeyed by any aler in Lancoln. As far as frec is concerned on Sundays as well days until 2 and 8 o'clock in the morning, the saloons are running, so that any and all can purchase the spark- ling fluid us though no limitations what- ever were put upon the traflic, with the exception that on Sundays the front doors are partially closed. The city ad- ministration have closed their eyes to all these 1llegal ucts as the city election draws nigh, the saloon keepers become more brazen and publie in their viola tions." ‘here are the police?’* was asked. “Our people often ask what is the mat- ter with the police force, and in turning to these guardians of the law we quickly see that their eyes are not only closed, but their ears deatened. Whether it be that the tender or promise of votes or budge has influenced them is open to conjecture, but the public who have watched the cavorting of this squad of the fineet in and about our lawless city are growing alarmed at the lax con- dition of things. The city at present 18 chock full of thugs, broken-down gam- blers, blacklegs and ex-convicts, who can be seen daily, hourly and nightly on ‘Tenth street, insulting 1espectable people who chance to pass that way. Yet the Moriaritys are not able to distinguish be- tween the honest, law-abiding citizens and the crooks. Whether the police are 80 busy putting down the liquor traffic or are engaged in electioneering and mak- ing themselves solid with the boys that they have no time to enforce the police regulations is not clear to our citizens; but it looks as if they ure consuming their time in forming combinations. Onething 18 certain, they oan never be found where an offense is being committed.” A few interrogatories might be pro- ounded to the mayor and city council, ‘irst, why i8 it that the saloons run until 2 and 8 o’clock in the morning? Second, why is it that the saloons run Sundays? Thira, why is it that policemen are permitted to hude themselves daily? Fourth, why are the policemen permitted to wrangle and quarrel among them- selves and no steps tuken by the council to regulate the service and have the laws enforced? A RACKET. There was quite a racket developed in the city council Monday evening by rea- son of Mayor Burr having ostensibly taken it upon himself to pave the city with cedar blocks without letting the council know nnithlnx about it—some- thing after the fashion of Weston en- deavoring to be United States senator some years ago—all to himselt. Coun- cilman Billingsley, however, rose amidst the smoke of battle and clash of arms, and moved that the ‘‘scheme” be laid over for ono week, which was ecarried, At that tume it is safe to predict that there will be no quorum present in the council, The dead and wounded at the city primaries on that night will be on stretchers, and » series of untold orgies will wake the stillness of the night in various quarters. VANDALISM, Some vandal has taken several fine piotures out of the Nebraska state library. He cut them out of several fine collections. One, entitled ‘“The Sa- lon,” which is a collection of the choic- est paintings recently executed by dis- llnfi ished artists, has been sadly mutil- ated. This work was edited by Charles Curroll, of the New York university. Several other works have been mutilated. Tho state library contains about thirty volumes of the choicest works of art b; the masters, and this set is badly injured. Steps should at once be taken to prevent further depredations of this character and punish the offense already com- mitted. - Guy A.

The Remar! le Results of Seven Years' tient Labor, Buffalo Courier: A curious d. trom the old proverb, which s the cobbler should stick to his lust, been exemplified in the person of Miles Hughes, No. 69 Carroll street. His earlier years were d ed to the shoemaking trade, but five 's ago he came to the conclusion that, like a certain Mr. Riley whose nume is celebrated in song, he might do better with a hotel. But the st singular part of it all is that for the seven years he has been devoting his spare moments to & hobby in the form of a clock, wonderful alike in design and execution, The frame work stands about seven feet high; the front is embellished with carved work and hand painting. The dial, sixteen inches in diameter, shows the second, minute and hour, ranging from one to twenty-four; also the finys of the week = and month in separate circles. An inner ring displays ligures corresponding to the ‘‘twelve- hour’ system, thus furnishing two read- ings—one of twelve hours and the main one of twenty-four. The only other not- able feature of the clock proper is that the nterior mechanism is unusually simple, contaiming half the ordinary number of wheels while performing cor- rectly a great variety of work. By an ingenious adjustment of the lower and upper works a very sensational effect is reached in the artistic canopy, a strange device. At every quarter the twelve apostles are seen to march out at one door and in at another in semi-circle, in front of a figure intended to represent Christ. Peter is seen to turn his back on the Savi Overhead 18 the inscription “B of temptation” and a hand pointing leftward to the bar in front of which a dude is seen approaching a portly aproned ‘‘host” who re- ceives contemptously his visitor's over- tures to “stand him off."’ At the ex- treme left a curtained door of the adjoining saloon opens and discloses a policeman in the *ct of getting away with his mug of beer. At the extreme right is an aperture out of which figures representing “‘Childhood,” “Youth," “Manhood’ and “‘Old Age’ emerge to correspond with the first, second, third, and last quarters of the_hour, Not the least wonderful thing about the clock 13 the fact that the bulk of its elaborate carved work was done at odd times by means of a jack-knife and that some of the richer effects were produced from cigar boxes. Being like .{‘olm Gilpin in one respect at least—viz.: his frugal- mindedness, it is said that dilligent scrutiny of the strange mechanism reveals the fact that old urners and unused stoves have contributed their quota to the ingenious whole.

Chicago News: I was talking to-day with General Neglev, of Pittsburg, who has just left congress, about the sudden denth of Mr. Beecher,and the unexpected deaths of numerous other public men during the year. ‘“There is n primary and uniform cause of the sudden deaths,” smd General Negley, ‘‘and have a theorv of it which I have iven to some scientific ntlemen, and they have pretty generally agreed with me. It is that these deaths are due to escap- ing and burning gases. There is poision in there gases which is causing thousand of deaths annually, and those who are kept close in their offices are most liable to be stricken. Secretary Manning, who was overcome by gas in his office in the treasury department, and Colonel Bob Scott and Corelius ‘Vanderbilt and Horace Whitney, late as- sistant cashier of the treasury, were all the men who worked long hours in close rooms. They really seem to have been asphyxiated, and the immediate cause of death is heart trouble. There i3 poison in all gases burned, and all gases escap- ing from water closets and washstands, and it is death to those who do not take sufficient exercise in open air to counter- act its influences. I believe that Beecher inhaled so much of these gases that the tissues of hislungs were paralyzed, and this led to the paralysis of the nerves affocting the heart. Colonel Bob Scott lived in a dark room, and poured over the records i the war department. He breathed these poisonous gases ten or twelve hours out of twenty-four, and [ have no doubt that there wus complute {;nnlyslo of the heartnerves. I don't elieve that a man who works his brain a great deal should remain in a close room laufer than five or six hours a day; but it he is compelled to work longer he will assist his health greatly by running mn of the room as frequently as possi- e, e L Some Kolks have much difficulty in swallowing the huge, old fashioned pill but anyone can take Dr. Pierce's “Pleusant Purgative Pellets” which are composed of highly concentrated vegetable extracts.

Ladies should reflect well before using any preparation that is appplied to so delicate a surface us the skin. Any cos- metic will at first impart & beautifying effect and not apparently injure the skin, butin a very short time little blotches and discolorations appear on the face which conclusively show the poisonous drugs in their composition. It can be safely said that more than two-thirds of the face powders contain these injurious ingredients.
