Birhl, two farmers living near Arcadia, Ia., had been in the habit of reading the papers they would not haveawakened yesterday morning with a dark brown taste in their mouths and a thumbing headache apiece, but as they were not very well up on things in general they blew out the gas before going to boed and narrowly escaped giving their friends an op- portunity to lay m a supply of crape. They came here day before yesterday to attend district court, being interested in the case of Maloney against the Northwestern railway, which is now on trial. ‘Lhey were in the Ogden hotel, and nothing more was keard of them until about 6 o'clock yesteraay morning, when some of the guests in the hotel heard a granting and groaning that seemed to come from that room. ‘The door was broken open and the two occupants of the room weve found lying on the bed almost dead. An investization showed that the stop cock of the gas burner W turned part way on, and the room was so full of gas that those who went in wero almost paralyzed. A physician was called, and, after some hard work, maniged to bring the two men out of their doze, Birhl was considerably the worse oft of the vwo, but it was seyeral hours before either of them was well enough to e a drink. Both of tho men were afilcted with verdancy, but it is safe to suy that the next time either of them stays in a hotel over night he will blow the gas out with his fingers instead of with his breath.

Ay PASSING COUNTERFEIT MONEY. Charge on Which Exp Was Arrested Last Valentine Nock, ssman E. 13, Smith Ev g who keeps a hotel at 1316 Cass street, reports he has been tho victim of a counter| moiey swindler. Last evening he called in Oficer Fahey and showed him three counterfeit silver dollars, “The officer looked them over. While they were counterfeit they were good looking pleces of money end it would be with difii- culty that one noticed it, Nock said an expressman came into his bout 6:30 and passca the m on kod out, got on his wagon and drove away, Nock did not know the nanie, but did happen to gt the f his badge and gave o slight description of his personal appearance The police were notitied and the money passed_on Mr. Nock was taken to the sta- rapudly fellow's numb tion. With the number of the expressman’s badge in their possession it was an easy matter to get the fellow ne and address, for they simply went to the license office and looked up the number th had in their possession and found the name with which it corvesponded. The name, . B. Smith, and the address, nineteenth and Leavenworth, were opposite the aumber and the ofticers at once proceeded to that ad- dress, Joe Hart and his wife occupy the Louse and Smith lives with them. The officers knocked at the door, but were refused admission, Mrs. Hart exclaiming: *You can- not come in here without a warrant,” but theofticers were ‘eady in and had made a search of the place. Why Mrs, Hart, with- out knowing that 1t was officers at the door, id thav th could not enter without ant scemed very peculiar to the detec- and they toolk it to mean that their visit had been expected. As the search proceeded the sound of a heavy form jumpingon the floor ana run- ning rapidly caused tho officers to cnter another room. As they did so they caught sight of a white form going chrough one of the doors. They proceeded to the next room and caught sight of the same form going fhrough another door. They continued, and as they opened that door which had been slamnmead shut, it was found it opened into a yurd. Here there was nothing to be scen, and after a search of the yards it was decided to return to the house, but just then they noticed a door on the outside of the house, and upon opening, it was found to lead into a cellar. This solved the mystery of the white form, and the officer entered and found a man in his night clothes standing in the corner. He was placed under arrest, ordered to dress and w taken to the station. There he gave his name E. B, Smith, and his occupa- tion thut of an expressman. Ha was scarched and another dollar of the same date, color and_weight of the three already in p sion of the police found. This was put in with the others and Smith charged with passing counterfeit money. He sad ho aid not kuow the money was not good. He had received it from some store in exchange for a bill; the name or lo- cation of the store he does not know. Smith formerly was a hackdriver and has not previously been in any trouble, This money does not appear bad and can only be detected by u close examination, the greéutest defect being in its weight, and oven this 1s marked. The police v that there aro all denominations of money being 1mi- tated, but just where it is being manufac- tured is not known. — —— WILL NOT BE FREE, Trial in Omaha to Follow Blandy's Release from lowa Penitentiary.

VEDN 4 N0 HOPE FOR LOCAL OPTION Indications that the dowa Legislature Will Ignors the Raphblican Platform, X WERE CAPTURED BY: THE PFOHIBITIONISTS Committees of Both Branches of the Body 1n Control of thy, Opponents of Mod fleation—Wulet Law May Go Fhrough, g, Des Morxes, Jan, 80i—([Special to Ti B While no test yate has been taken in cither house and no deffaite action has been had by the standing committees on any of the numerous 1o developments have rendered v morally ¢ taim that the present pronibitory liquor law will remain on the statute books unimpaired “for another biennial period. This codition of affairs has uot bzen brought about by chance, but is the result of a well aid and fully matured plan of the prohibi- tion leaders, both inside and outside of the legislature, to set at naught that pledge in the republican platform which promised lief to those sections of the state where this statute 1s wholly d The able members of the committec that drafted that famous “thirteenth plank" un- doubtedly intended to commit the party to local option, but by some fatality the mean- ing was left obscure, and a double con- struction was immediately placed upon the final ciauso of the rival factions. The prohibitionists held that to grant relief to these communities it would be necessary to invent new and more rigorous methods of enforcing the law, and a state constabulary was darkly hinted at as the proper measur On the other hand, a large majority of the public speakers during the campaign, espocially in the river counties, openly ad- mitted that *‘state-wide prohibition” had proven a failure, and wita almost absolute unanimity favored some formof local option It was confidently expected that Governor Jackson in his inaugural address would at least outline the policy to be pursued, and many of his friends were perfectly astounded when he referred the whole matter to tho legislature without the slightest intimation of its duty i the vremis Being thus handicapped, as it were, by the equivocal and entirely unexpected course pursied by the governor, the liberal element h a losing fight from vhe very beginning, and, while the struggle has not been wholly given np, the leaders feel that the contest hence- forth will be well nigh honeless. Prowms Have the Cominittoes. It was forseen early in the fight that the control of the standing committees of the two branches on suppression of intempor- ance was the key to siccess: that under the rules of the general assembly a defiant and stubborn majority of either of these com- mittees could prevent action on important measures and thwart the will of a lavge of the members. In the struggle in the senate over this important point th victory clearly rests with the local optionists, Of the twelve members of that committee originally appointed eight were republicans and four democrats. Of the former ouly four, Turner, Boardman, Conaway and Jamison, are pronounced prohibitionists, while F'unk, the ehairman, strong sup- porter of local option s embodied in the “thivteenth plank.” This committee, on motion of the dhairman, was subsequently increased to fifteen by the addition of Sen- ators Harsh, Harmon and Waterman, but still the advantage was decidedly in favor of the friends of modification. [n the lower housé control of this leading committee w aptured by the prohibition forces, and the fate of local option for the time being is sealed. The credit for whatever success the pro- hibitionists have achieved belongs largely to Representative John . Funk of Hardm, Long before the legislature convened M. Funk had quietly marshalled the prohibition members, and under his leadership they have fought a winning fiht. Entirely ignor- ing the United States senatorial question they threw their solid strength into the speakership contest with oneobjeet 1n view. They demunded the privilege of naming the committee on suppression of intemperance and that Funk should be made its chair- man, as the price of their support. Stone bad set his hearton the speakership and reluctantly yietded to their demands, and though he subsequently endeavored to re- trieve his crror or correct his mistuke the prohibitionists were inexorable, and he was compelled to give way. Of the scventeen members of that ¢ m- mittee oply two are aemocrals, und of the othe Messvs, Funk, Van Gilder, Saber- son, Bitterman, Morrison, Movris of Clarice, Reed, Martin, Lauder and Watters, are classed among the moss radical of the pro- hibitionists. As so0on this result became known the radicals in the senate, led by Rowen of Wrizht, met in secrei ciucus and mutually pledged themselves to oppose any form of license. This will force a fusion between tho liberal republicans and the democrats in that body m order to pass any measure of this character, and even then iis chances of getting through the senate are not very brilliant. Ultimarim of the Out-and-Outs. From their vantage ground of success. the prohibitionists have submitted two bills as their ultimatum. Thoy first propose to_re- submit the prohibitory question to the beo- ple in the form of & sonstitutional amend- ment, to be voted on some time abouf June, 1895, & joint resclution of this character hav: ing already been introduced. Not having the power to pass & constabulary act or to empower the governor lo rémove officers by wholesale who ao mot enforce the luw, they have introduced a mulet bilt containing several of these features. The bill in question provides thata special tax of from £500 to 21,000, shall be a sesse1 against all parties selling liquors unlawfully, which 18 made a lien against the owners of the property and collectable like all other taxes. It is made the duty of the local assessor to make the proper re- turns. Shoutd he fail to do so, any three citizens can force the county auditorand treasurer to list the property for taxation. The duty of enforcing this law is especially enjoined upon the goveruor, wno may suspend from oftice at his pleasure uny all of the ofteials named, as well as mem- bers of the Board of Supervisors who fail to perform their duty. The bill expressly de- clares that this tax is an “additional pen- alty” to those alveady provided, and that the payment of the tax shall iz no wanner act as a bar to prosecutions under other sec- tions of the statutes. “That the opponents of state wide prohibi- tion will fight this measure to the bitter end, is concoded by everyone: that they may boe able to eliminatd ' some of 1ts hursher features is possible, but that they can de- feat it or substitute any local option measure, or even add a provision making the payment of a lax & bar to further pros ecutions, is not now evident.

TODD DIVORCE Story of a Souih Dukota Man's Straggle in This Line. Stoux Fanes, 8. D, Jan, 80.—[Special to Tare Bee. | —The famous Toda divorce case is again on the court docket of Union county. William Todd, while in this eity, has become quite noted, for it was him who played sleuth on Dr, A. M. Fisherand captured the wily physician in a small town in Missours Todd came here from South St. Paul, where he ot one ume edited a news- vaper. Two years ago he made application for a aivorce before Judge Smith of Yunkton and sccured his decreo through default. Immodiately after tho granting of the decree tho defendant’s at- torneys moved that the decreo be set aside, nd aiso flled a cross-bill for alimony, Todd's attorneys then moved for a dismissal of the se, which was granted. Now comes an order made upon the petition of Mrs. Tood from Judge Smith, placing the case upon its original standing on the docket. Thus, after two years of fighting, Todd finds him: self just where he started. Mrs. Todd laims that the roason of nis departure from South St. Paul to South Dakota was because he was enamored of a certain youhg sehool ma'am who had shortly before left South & il to engage in teaching school in Canton, 8. D. This lady has siuce died, and it is unde that Todd 1s not so anxious to socure cree of divorce now as he was two ago. It is also stated that he will not appear to press his suit when it is calied in court.
