REFORMS OF THE REFORMER, Bome of the New Rules of Lincoln’s Law and Order Mayor. RED TAPE FOR THE DRUGGISTS. Giving Away State Lots On a Plea of Charity—One Man OUbjeote— News From the State House. |FROM THE BEE'S LINCOLN BUREAU.| 1t prohibition Iowa desives, it can get some valuable pointers from the reform ! city administration of Lincoln as to the best metheds of handling drug stores. It has been remarked heretofore that there is morereform floating around Lincoln the present year than enough to supply two or threo cities the size of the state capital, and the cumuiative evidence is never ending in this regard. The state law requires druggists to furnish liquors on prescription, and the city council has gone farther and passed an ordinance regulating druggists in the sale of spirits for mechanical and scientific purposes. This ordinance premises that all drug- Rists are violators, and that every man ‘who wants alcohol for mechanical pur- poses, or the good house wife who wants to manufacture her own spirits of cam- phor, are suspicious characters who must obtamn a character from the city clerk | through an affidavit, or visit the saloons for such spirits. It has just dawned upon many that such a law has been putin force, and a howl from both druggists and purchagers in thesc lines is almost invariably to follow. A lady who wanted ber camphor bottle replenished dis- covered this new law yesterday and was obliged to find the city clerk and swear to her honesty of purpose before the druggist to whom she apolied dared to furnish her supphes, The Irunlm have cause to be wary 1n this regard, for the city is well into the detective as woll as police business, and these detectives are very anxious to mollify the little tin god mayor by mak- ing a record. For the benefit of reform mayors elsewhere who want to be very good, the form of aflidavit and order re- quired in procuring these necessities are appended: AFFIDAVIT. The undvrslfinml. being duly sworn, on says that he is enm:len the busines o A1 7e 8o o INRB NG dascsvranaes’s street, and that it is necessary in the prose- ccution of his busi to leoholie l;llfll’fl for the purpose of .++..ADd that said liquor is not a beverage, Following this is the blank line for the characterless one to |iEn, and the usual fuut of the city clerk is attached. 1t looks ns 1f an oversight had been made in allowing the city clerk alone to estab- lish the d record of the applicant, and the blanks evidently should have been printed so that the affidavit could be passed upon afterward and approved b{ the lord mayor himself and his entire kitchen cabinet. ‘The applicant, how- ever, after having established his char- acter with the municipality and filed onth that he or she, as the case may be will not become intoxicated lingers with the city clerk, who issues to the appli- eant a character, which if not lost on the way to the druggists, confronts that func- tionary in the fotlowing form: CERTIFICATE. ‘This is to certify that veessnen has tilled 1n this oftice selti forth the business in which he (or she) is e , the place where such business is carri- ed on and the specific and exact mechanical purposes for which aleoholle , and that said liquor 1s 6od a8 & beverage. Given under my hand and seal of said cll){éhll G, , City Clerk, The draggist 18 then supposed to draw [ lunf breath and fill the order, while the vietim of the modern circumlocution order of things departs homeward im- pressed with the magnitude of modern reforms. ‘The possibilities of reform under this new order of things 1s great, and intem- perance. debanchery and crime will un- doubtedly greatly "decrense. We shall soon hear no more of camphor bottle orAzius, and the light in the spirit lam: will no more go out atthe benc! bocause the workman is der oath not to use the con- tents as a beverage. The newspapers will have no more horrible recitals of denths of barbers from bay rum delerium tremens, and the public, at least so far a8 Lincoln is concerned, will be march- ing on in the most intense sobriety in the wake of the only truly great reformer of the age who can see & hair crossways on the body politic a distance of forty yards and Ingislate 1t into shape. It is understood that these special find- ings in a reformatory way will be capy- righted and turned into the city treasury as a portion of the municipal assets. THE STATE LOT SALE. The sale of state lots conti day. and durmg the early developed intoja sort of a gift scheme to some of the sguatters on the lots that spoke very poorly for Lincoln, and some of the bidders who seemed desirous to care for some of the alleged poor on the chanty of the state, At one time this business was running faitly wild and all that was necessary to get a lot was for a scheming m.ormu‘I to arise and say thata poor woman had built & home on the lot and ought to huve it without competition, ‘T'he woman would always ba conveniently at hand with as many cbildren as the wife of the martyr, John Rodgers. The lot would be let go at ima-:mth ml\"ialb\l‘e and (h&a ninm who would ol ‘woul soorned at us au oppressor of women, and biddurs beld nOW un- MONDAY, JUNE 13th The Patrick farm will be placed on the back for the time. however, that it was being worked that WAY too extensively, and a gentleman from Omaha protested against the stato further caring for Lincoln poor in that way. He was reviled somewhat, but he faced the music, bid up what'the lots were worth, and silenced whe three or four howlers for poor women by calml: walking up and_giving his oheck for §50 each to three different poor women. It is ncedlessto add that the advocates for the poor women did not put up any mone, in such assistance. They were uot i that way. It is very evident that a number of able- bodied men, and men with property, who had squatted on these state lots and had escaped taxation for years, were shoving ~ women to the front and having them get the propert #t one-third value while they remained discreetly in the rear. T.P. Kennard ! recognized the fact that Lincoln was be- ing made & by-word in the character of proceedings, and he protested against its continuance with good effect. The sale during the day was fully equal m prices reached to the day before and competition was lively. STATE HOUSE NOTES, _The following notaries were commis- sioned yesterday: Louis k.

Gregerson was arrested at his home on Dorcas street by Detective Ding- man yesterday on charge of embezzle- ment which was committea six months ago. Gregerson was taken to the city jail, but was subsequently released on making such scttl ement and reparation as he was able to. About eight months ago he entered the employ of a New York manufacturing company and traveled through Michigan selling stump pullers. He had obtained about $500 for machines when he fell in with a party of convivial friends and with them went to Chicago, wherein a few days he spent the money. When he sobered and saw what he had done he was afraid to notify the firm and conw,qawnl.l came to Omaba, Since being here he has worked steadily and has ‘accumulated enough to purchase household furniture and care for his family of a wife and five children. But & few days ago he went to an at- torney in this city and teld him the story, placing n his hands a deed for real estate 10 Michigan which he owus, and instruct- ing him to send it to the New York firm as part com‘fensmion for the loss they had sustained. Before they had received the letter, however, the officers in empioy of the firm had obtained information that Gregerson was in this city. en the arrest was ‘made yesterday the scene was pathetic. Gregerson begged hard to be allowed to settle and was released, as stated, upon making a part payment and giving his notes for the rest. He is an industrious man and will undoubtedly be able in » short time to clear himself of all obligation. ———— CONCERT AT THE CASINO.
