Lixwoon, Neb,, Oct. 22.—To the Editor of der date of Octobe Tne a report from “Eye Witness' of the Linwood cuucus, showing up the man ner in which the railroad agent at this place figured in that body. Under date of October wr Bee also published for the railroad agent and his aide de camp an article setting up the absolute falsity of Vitness' first report. Now, Mr. Editor, I hope we may be allowed a little more space to set at rest this wide sproad denfal. This matter of packing caucuses in Nebraska is no new departure, What is the matter at this time with our railroad commissioners! We are told that we have sufficicnt laws on our statute books to regulate railroad transportation and officers whose duty it is to see that they are exc- cuted. Why can we not get them to act? It lies right here: These creatures were tam- pered with, were selected for these respousible positions through delegates chosen too often in the manner referred to above. We think too much ventilation cannot be given to this class of maneuver- It is a matter of county, state and ni In this article of denial it is i t had nothing to do with the manipulating of the caucus; that he simply voted his sentiments, as did all the rest of the railroad boys. This is tho same old dodge. Let us look for a moment, Was not the full force out from the round house, conl house, including both day and mght operators, and night man at the round house, who certainly had to desert their posts of duty to attend at suchatime! Isit at ali feasible to presume that this chief had noth ing to do with it 1 this day operator and cdal heaver, who are both rabid demo- erats, have gone into a republican caucus and compromised their honor as they did in this matter without the wishes of their ch ¢ This letter of denial further takes exceptions to having some of the fellows whom Reid stood in with, called “of a like stripe,” and mentions K. C. Bond, J. W. Bond, justices of the peace, A. Clark Rec ords and others. Look for a moment. ‘Were not theso two justices both elected on the democratic ticket last falll Do not thesc same named republicans app on a petition to remove M Richardson, a crippled soldier, for being an offensive partisan and for the appoint ment of oue, T, W. Wilson, because he was a democrat! Did not this same Wilson se- cure the appointment of supervisor for A. Clark Records to reward him for his perfidy in the previous postoftice contest! Did not this same man Reid know that he was yok- ing himself up with this outfit to the preju- dice of nearly every shipper and busincss man in town! This A. Clark Recordsisa renegade, third-rate, one-horse politician from Dodge county. The character of this gentleman has been well known here for some time and iv s alittle strange that Agent Reid should harness himself up with such - a political carbuncle for the purpose of getting into the county convention as a dele- @ate. Was it not a little strange also that when petition was circulated by A. C. Records, Mr. Reid's running mate, to send to the railroad company exhonorating Reid for his part in the caucus, that it contained none of the business men of this place, that one would be proud of in a matter of this kind—with possibly one exception?

New York, Oct. 22.—[Special Telegram to BeE.|—Chairman Quay, of tho repub- lican national committeo, said that the offer of §25,000 reward for the detection of illegal voters was only one step in a_careful, elabo- rate attempt to secure an_honest vote and an honest count. “We made in August and September two geparate and independent canvasses of the oify, - One was nominally to prepare a new directdry on the London plan, showing the male residents by street num- bers. The names which we sccured and which are not in |last year's registry, are being investigated, 'Our next canvass was on behalf of a grand organization of real estate agents, who'were seeking tocombine in thoir hands all the vacant and furnished rooms, apartments; flats and buildings in the city. ‘Some owners and agents told our men that if their places were not permanently rented before election time they should fill them up with tramps who would vote from them as their dlléged residences. Some even went further, and told how much they bad made in the past in that way; how they had rented their buildings or rooms for a few weeks preceding gleetion and got good pay S, for it, all that wag ed of them being that el they should keep thefr mouths shut if any- one made any mqyjiries of them before elec- tion. We have just goné vver some of the ground again with a’different set of men,and found what buildings and rooms still remain empty, and what are occupicd, and we mean to look carefully after any one who registers or attempts to vote from any of these rooms or buildings which have been occupied only recently. That offer of $2,000 for the first arrest and conviction, is pretty sure to be earned, and it, as well asthe remaining 3,000 will be gladly paid. Policemen and election officers, among others, have a rare opportunity to serve the cause of justice and themselves at once. You have noticed, 1 suppose, how unwilling Mr. Hewitt's two democratic police commissioners are 1o aid in diffusing knowledge of this reward?" —- THE AUDIENCE CHEERED. A Sensational Incident at the Funeral of O. 8. Squires. CH1cAGO, Oct. 22.—A sensational incident happened to-day at the funeral services of C. S. Squires, who was assistant postwmaster at Chicago for nineteen years. After having worked his way up from an errand boy in the postal service, Mr. Squires was reduced toachiof clerkship and subsequently sus- pended. His friends claim that he died of a broken heart. The funeral took place with high Masonic honors in the Emanuel Baptist church, one of the most prominent congrega- tions in the city. The church was crowded to overflowing. Dr. Lorimer pronounced the eulogy, and his eloquence had already greatly wrought the audience, when he said: *I see in the dead before me the arraignment of the civil service. I think as he lies there he de- clares the failure of the system. Our ideal i still beyond our intellect, nor will justice and purity prevail in the civil service until pre- ferment shall be given upon a scale of talents and fitness.”” There was a moment of silence, and then the big church rang with an unrestrainable outburst of appl Knights Templar in regalia and plain business men alike excitedly shouted their approval, notwithstanding the sacred sur- roundings and the presence of the aead. Dr. Lorimer besought order, sayin, “Not here, not here,” but adding: ‘‘Had this loved and lovavle man his just deserts he would still be actively among us, or we would have been mourning for the dead postmaster of Chicago, and not a clerk of the registry department.” So intense was the agitation of tae audience it was with difficulty that the church could be cleared. e A MORNING BLAZE.

The widespread effect of the recent corner in wheat on the price of tlour and bread, led to inquiries into the condition of the trade at this place. It was found that there had been a decided advance in all grades and brands of flour handled by the Omaha dealers. The increase has been proportionate to the qual- ity. During the six mouths preceding September 1, there had been very little fluc- tuation in the rates. Wholesale prices are quoted as follows: Pillsbury's ‘Best'— September 22. £3 per 100 pounds; October 22, $4 per 100 pounds. vashburn’s *‘Supeilative’ and Orange— September 22, Blossom, &3 per 100 pounds; October 22, #4 per 100 pounds. Crow’s Patent, Omaha Mills—September 22, $2.45 per 100 pounds; October 22, $3.50 per 100 pounds. Crow’s High Patent, Omaha Mills—Sep- tember 22, $2.60 per 100.pounds; October 22, $3.75 per 100 pounds. Common grados have advanced in propor- “louris selling at retail at from $1 to _50'in advance of the prices a month ago. “You ma; ' said one dealer, “that the |average advance in the retail prices of flour has been $1.50." No appreciable effect has been felt among the bakers. The fact that the most exten- sive baking establishment of the ecity had a large supply of flour on hand -vhen the recent rise occurred, enables them to maintain their rates unchanged. The margin of profit for the smaller bakeries that buy their flour from week to weel is consequently little or nothing, There has been no advance in the price of - bread, and thus many households are now using bakers’ bread as a measure of economy. “‘Has there been any reduction in the weight of the loaves!” was asked of one baker. “‘No, there isan ordinance providing that every loaf shall weigh sixteen ounces, 50 we have no recourse. At present,our profits are simply nothing, but we have to scll at the same rates the larger dealers establish.” “*What has become of your bakers’ union? “Oh, that has virtuaily gone to pice There are too many petty bakeries that are soeking to prey upon each other, At present the ‘union’ cousists of three large baking es- tablishments, all the others make no preten- sion toward acting with it." The flour dealers were a unit in the opin- ion that the present rates would vary but little during the scason, that is until after the prospects of the next wheat crop become apparent. The slight variations in the quo- tations of Friday and turday are at- tributed wholly to spe: ive deals. On the whole the effect of the recent deal on the various velated interests here is that it has about doubled the price of flour, and that while the price of bread remains the same, with the next considerable burchase of flour-made by any one of our lary bak- ing houses, there willbe a marked rise in the price of bread.

It is in the Pool and Has Not Been Running For a Year—Supreme Court Dectsions — Towa State News, The “Big Distillery’" Case. Dres Moises, Ia., Oct. —[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.|~The decision in the United States supreme court in what is known as the “big distillery cs " while re ceived with interest here, makes no change in the status of that institution, Mr, Kidd, who appears as plaintiff i that case, is o resident of New York City, but the chief owners of the International distillery are at Des Moines. He voluntarily closed his dis- tillery more than a year ago upon terms with the Western Distillers' Pool association, which were understood at the time to be a compensation of £0,000 a year for keeping his distillery closed, so that instead of bemng closed by prohibition, he in fact closed his establishment by solling his capacity to the pool. His distillery has not been opened since, and there is no distillery in opera- tion in the state to be affected by this decision. After the general prohibition law of 1834 went into effect, the distillery continued for some time to manufacture alco hol chiefly for export. The law then per mitted the manufacture for certain purposes, such as mechanical, medicinal and culina and may believed that under it the distillery could not be closed. But about eighteen months ago a certain agent of the Temper- alliance, claiming they had evidence to a violation of the law, applied to the district court for an injunc P closed. Judge Conrad, who h granted the injunction. The caso was at ppealed o the supreme court aud an ing was granted. This was and the case was argued with great care, the attorney for the dis tillery relying chiely upon the claim that so long as the state permitted the man- ufactu L all, it could not interfere with that manufactire if the product were in- tended for export and were in fact shipped out of the state. He insisted that this was t to regulate inter-state commerce ore uncoustitutional, The attor- the state held that if it could forbid the manufacture within the state, it could forbid the manufacture for export, and that if the distillers were manufacturing a product that was sold in other states for pur- poses not permitted in Jowa, it could be closed the sawe as if it intended its products to be consumed entirely in the state. The Towa supreme court sustained the lower court, but suspended the enforcement of the injunction for two months in order to allow the distillery to dispose of fts product on hand. ~ Meanwhile, before that time ex- pired, and while an appeal was being taken to the United States supreme court, Mr. Kidd decided to enter the western pool, and 80 closed the distillery of his own accord. But last wiater the legislature, in order to clinch the matter whichever way the United ates supreme court might decide, amended he prohibitory law so as to prohibit all man- ufacture of liquor for any purposes, aud thus close every distillery and brewery in the state. Conscquently if this last decr: reversed our state court, the distillery would still be closed under this latter law, A Queer Church Row. Des MoiNgs, Ia . —[Special to Tar Bge.|—One of the queerest cases of church rows ever known in the state has been dis- turbing the religious quict of staid old Dubuque for several weeks past. The pastor of the Second Presbyterian church, Rev. H. A. Mott, preached one evoning a sermon on ‘Newspapers.” The next day there ap- peared inone of the newspapers what ap- peared to be pretty nearly a verbatim report of a good part of it. The second day this re- port was set up beside a sermon by Talmage on the same subject, and as a result of the “deadly parallel’ a correspondent accused Mr. Mott of plagiarism. Inhis defeuse he admitted that he had read Talmage's ser- mon, and had used the same text, and one or two of the same illustrations that Talinage did, but denied that he copied from the famous Brooklyn preacher. Ie further as- serted that the first reportas printed put words in his mouth which he never uttered, and was manifestly doctored to make it cor- respond with thé Talmage sermon, which was to be printed the next day. A little more investigation showed that Rev. C. O. Brown, pastor of the Congregational church, and a jealous rival of Mr. Mott, was at the bottom of the plot to convict the Presby- terian brother of plagiarism. Then there was a row. Each minister took his turn through the papers in demolishing his op- ponent by parliamentary but exceedingly un- christian language. Then the congregations took a hand, and through their respective boards of trustees defended their respective pastors and sailed into the other fellow. hen the whole town began to take sides, art attacking Mr. Mott, and defending Mr. Brown for having, as they claimed, con- victed him of plagiarism, the other half at- tacking Mr. Brown, decrying him with most scandalous and unchristian conduct, and de- fonding Mr. Mott and declaring their im- plicit belief in his entire innocence. So the matter has raged, developing unlimited bit- terness between the churches and making the ungodly smile with wicked glee. e — The Anti-Horse Thief Society. Des Mcings, Ia., Oct. —[Special to Tue Bee.—The members of the Anti-Horse Thief association of Iowa held a ve meeting in this city the past w comprises i organization that is more often felt than seen. It is very secret, the mem- bors of it not bemg known to the general public, but working together in very inti- mate union. It is a fact of interest that this organization, which now has national propor- tions, existing in sevoral states, was organ- ized by a group of gentlemen from lowa and Missouri. It began ina very small way in September, 1863, when a few citizens of Clark and Scotland counties, Missouri, and a gentleman from lowa met at Leroy, Mo. and frame he first constitution and by Vs and adjou! «d to meet at Millport, Knox county, Mo., in October following.

Thay ratified what had already boen done, and perfected the organization. While its chiet object, according to the title, would scem to be to make life weary for horse thievos, the organization has really enlarged its scope 8o as to bo a terror to. all kinds of Iaw-break. ers. The preamble of the national organiz- ation states the * ct, of the meeting'' as follows: “Weo, tho citizons of the several states comprising the national order of the Anti-Horse Thiof assoviation, are organized for the protection of ourscives ngainst the depredations of thieves, robbers, counter- feiters, ncendiaries, vagrants and all other criminals, and we are pledged to co-operate with the il authorities in bringing to jus. tice all such offenders, aiding each other in the recovery of stolen property, ete.”” Erom this it will be seen that the organization is a sort of an animated and incarnated Justice to regulate socisty generally 8o far as rascals concerned. At any rate, it has done a great deal of good, and is not at all of the “‘mob law" order or disposed to act a8 a agent of Judge Lynch co-operates alwavs with the officers law, but it takes good care that criminals whom it is after shall not give the officors the slip.

A numerous audience saw Miss Jarboau at Boyd's last night as Carlotta in the musical comedy of “Starlight,” and manifested in the most cordial way its appreciation of the unique and exceedingly pleasing entortain- ment.
