Swearing in Your Vote, The last chance to register preparatory to the election next ‘I'uesday expired last night, There is now left to the unregistered citi- 7en but one means of insuring his vote, and that is to swear us to his citizenship before the city cierk on the day of election, Each unregistered voter, who desires to vote, must take with bim two citizens who may be able to testify to the fact that he isa citizen of Omaha. These citizens must swear to this fact in the presence of the city clerk in his officc in the basement of the county court house, Clerk Groves will have a no- tary there to admimster the necessary oaths, as also a force of clerks who will aid in the work which this duty entails, The voter who expects to swear his vote in at the polls will be mistaken, The swearing must be done at the city clerk's ofice, after which the voter must go to his own precinct to deposit his vote. This formality will consume a great deal of time, and the citizen who is so unfortunate s not to have reistored ought to set out e . in the morning to cast his ballot. Rosewater an ¢ st. John, Hon.

Prohibition House-Breake: Another evidence of the conscienceless manner in which the prohibitionists seek to strengthen their cause was discovered Fri- day night 1 the Sixth ward, The registry for the First districtof that ward has been located at Lyceum hall, on Twenty-fourth streot, nearthe Fremont, Elkhoru & Mis- souri Valley road. There are but a few houses in the vicinity, and, thiuking that the hall_contained the registration books, two hirelings of the prohibition crowd at-empted to break into the hall to secure possession of ther. About 10 o'clock on the night mentioned Thomas Condon, a railvoad man_ residing 1m the neighborhood, heard somebody battering the front doorof the hall and hastily van to sce why It was being done. He found two fellows endeavoring to force the door open, They claimed to be reporters for Tue Ber i search of the registration re- turns. Mr. Condon knew that they we prohibition’ cappers because he had pre- viously seen them copying the registration lists of the district. He told them that they were lving, whereupon they admitted that they had no connection with this paper and were working for the prohibitiouists. They also offered to make it to Condon's in- tevost if he would aid them in enterng the hall, becauso they were extremely anxious to secure the registry Looks, Condon_indignantly spurned the propo- sition, whereupon ~ the fellows beat @ hasty retreat. This is the fifth attempt which Is known to have been made by prohi- bitionists to steal registration books in this city, The fellows who attempted the crime in this instauce are still at large, bat detec- tives are on their track and it is expected that they will be arrested toduy.

The mayor waited until the legis! adjourned in April, to see if the prohibition law would be repealed and a high license law substituted, and find- ing that this was not done ho began a system of fines on all suloons of £23 a month and con tinues it to this day. From these fines the ity has alveady received since last May over £5,000 There are now fifty-seven paying into the city t month, whereas under his futile attempt to suppress them they paid nothing, but ou the contrary, the abort- ive attempts to suppress them wer expenditure to the city The tax levied gives no protection what- ever to the saloon keepers.

Cedar Rapids an Example of Prohibi- tion in lowa, Cepar Rarios, Tn,, Nov. 1.—{Speciul to T Ber.]—When J. J. Snouffer took the position of mayor he held that ths authov ties hiad no right under the charter to seize liquors, close saloons or punish those engaged in business, neither did he think the city had any right to fine saloon keepers and thereby take cognizance of their business, Any dis turbance of the peace, howeve Inating iv these places, or any drunkeaness on the streets, was rigidly punished. When he camento ofice he found that a puol ex- isted among the saloon men and the funds of this pool paid und fines and costs urising out of liquor sell- ing. The justices and constables were also m the pool, When an information was ma against any member of the pool he received o timely warning, so that when the con- stables went to the place they found nothing to seize. In this arrangement cousisted the “rake oft” of the county ofticials, and he be. lieves it exists today. Formerly policemen were used as informers hut he at once put a stop to that by forbidding his policemen, under pe istaut dismnssal, from en- tering an xcept for the purpose of maintaining the p So far as the city is revenue results from the liquor traftic. Cedar Rapids, according to the late census, has a ponulation of something over eightecn thousand, and 145 intérnal revenue licc have been issued in the city. Of these are for saloon purposes aud the balance for drug stores, According to Mayor Snouffer, the almost unautmous sentiment of the business men of Cedar Rapids is in fayor of high license, Prohivition 15 recognized and admittea by almost everyone to be disastrous to ie city, notwithstanding that it has not been enforced nov that the saloons have been at any time closed by the law. He believes, as business men generally do, that *he substitution of a high license law for the probibition law would at once advance rents 20 per cent and real estate values at least 10 per cent. Mayor Suouffer owns in a railroad town near by a piece of property that was worth $2,000 before prohibition went into effect and was at all times bringing him a good rental, Sinco that time the property has been without @ tenant. He bhas not paid tho taxes for 1889, amounting to and will not so long as the prohibitory ls remains.
