The citizens' comwittee announces that the gambling houses in the Bluffs are closed for good. This statement may scem plausible enough to an outsider, but it is hardly in accordance with the facts. Both Monday night and last night one of the houses at least was running in full biast, und the proprietor opeuly announces that he will deal faro whenever there is anybody to play.

FAIRBURY, Neb,, March 17.—To the Editor of Tue Bee: Captain Jacob Hoofstitler of Illinois, who has been engaged to stump Nebraska in the interest of the prohibition constitutional amendment, has just closed a series of lectures at this place. That Jeffer- son county will give a good majoricy for prohibition next fall has been aud is yet a possibility, but a few visits from such bluff- ers as the ten-dollar-a-night Hoofstitler will certanly make it a possibility. We can say without feur of erring that during his week's stay in Fairbury Jake Hoofstitler reduced the probibition vote thirty or more. Friday night he jumped oun to the newspaper men for mno other reason than that they failed to come out n praise of him in double-headed and double-leaded articles and said they were a degraded outfit and were not fit to mingle witn_ civilized people. Every paper in Fairbury advertised his lec- tures free of charge and mentioned his meet- ings, but failed to state that *“Hoofstitler is a wonderful orator and will be the means of carrying Nebraska for tho amendment.” Hence his abus Hoofstitler is' a loud talker, can tell lots of stories, draws big crowds and salary, but will have to do differ- ently than he did in Fairbury if he helps the amendment peoplo in the least. The people down here will not be driven into support of the amendment by such men as Hoofstitler. They do not, however, intend to be perverse in this matter, but will vote for that which they think is best. o 3 e A plain and gimply policy, an annual distribution of surpius und the protec- tion of the Mass. non-forfeiture law, are among_the advantages offered by the New England Mutual life insurance company of Boston, Mass., whose an- nual statement of business is published in another colymn.

Warner, a young farmer living four miles north of Iremont, is missing. Last Friday he put on his best suit of clothes and started out with a rifle. His wife asked him where he was going and he replied that he was going out to shoot a rabbit which he had seen along the road. His strange action created some suspicion, but not enough to cause any alarm. He has not returned to the house and nothing has sinco been learned of his whereabouts. Only o rfonth ago Warner re- turned from Pennsylvania with a bride who has thus been deserted for no apparent cause in the midst of the honeymoon. He had with him §200 or §300 when he left home.
