The mob Is parading before the palace, and the rumors that have obtained circulation to the effect that Zelaya A rare treat awaited those who at tended the musical given by the Schu bert Symphony Club and Ladles Quartette at the Presbyterian church last evening. As old folks are wel comed, was the welcome given the club and quartette by the audience, which was, to say the least, very ap preciative. Not a single number went without an encore. Voices were all good; but the so prano and contralto were especially pleasing. Not the least among the galaxy of artists, was the clever reader and Impersonator. The violin ist did some good work, and showed excellent technique and interpreta tion. What one could say of the pro gram, and give it its due, would fill columns. Ask anyone if It was not good; and the invariable reply is, "it was." Tike quality of the music was first class, and the numbers were executed with finish and art. The encores were lighter numbers and given with expression. It was a rare treat in all, and one long to be remembered. The program follows: Quartette "The Dumb Waiter," Watson. Anna Pearl Weatherington. Violin Solo Aria from Rigoletta, Verdi, Lee La Corder. Selection "Fond Memories" (med ley arranged) Purcell. Schubert Sym phony Club.

There are a number of passengers on the ferry, and It is feared that there will be loss of life in taking these people off, even if the steamer is not broken up by the seas that are thundering over it.

NO MORE "GASOLINE" The Southern Pacific Company j have filed a petition In the circuit, court asking that the caso of J. T.I Williams vs. The Southern Pacific Company, an action for damages, be transpired from the circuit court of, Douglas county to the Federal courts.! They base their request upon- the grounds of diversity In citizenship and that the sum involved exceeds $2,000. Spirituous Linuors Shipped Must lie Plainly Labeled. Ashland Tidings: After the first of January, 1910, Jieither Ashland, or any other town, or that matter, will he permitted toJhhlp booze under the misleading guls of "gasoline" or any other commodity, from another state. Another phase in the great campai gn against the liquor will come to the fore tho first, of next month, when the revised penal code of the United Slates is to become effevtive. Many of tho rhaiiKos made in tho penal laws by the Sixtieth congress were of minor interest, hut the section relat ing to the shipment, of -Intoxlfatlng liquors into "dry" territory contained new legislation, tho result of which will mako tho United States a factor In prosecuting violators of the act. In thlcklv settled communities tho local authorities, as a rule, are able to deal effectively with offenders, but In certain sections of the south and west, where settlers are sparse, tho task Is not so easy, and the members of congress from those sections in sisted that the federal government should come to the aid of the local authorities. Three sections of the new codoftoa tfon relate to the liquor t rattle. Tho most Important provision is that ou and after January 1st every ship ment of intoxicating liquor shall bear the name of the consignee, the nature of the contents of tho receptacle and the quantity contained therein. It la a notorious act, so say persons who have had the experience in attempting to drive out "blind tigers" that prac tically all the liquor now shipped Into prohibition territory Is labeled as some other commodity, or not labeled at all. and frequently addressed to persons other than tho consignee. The federal authorities already have sent out notice to all manufac turers of Intoxicants' that their wares must he labeled on the outsldo of tho package on and after the first of the new year, setting forth tho nature of the contents and the exact amount in each package. It Is be lieved that if the local authorities co-operate with the federal govern ment in the enforcement of the law, it will be n coinparitlvely easy mat ter to suppress the "blind tigers." It Is pointed out that from now on they canot exist without violating tho federal statutes, and the assump tion of the department of justice 18 that would-be violators will not care to take the chance of falling Into tho clutches of the federal courts. K has been alleged from time to time that In some of the states where the sale of intoxicating liquor has been .prohibited in one way or another tho railroads and express companies assisted the violators of the law by acting as buying and sell ing agents, or both. Co'ngress, with the Idea of putting a stop to- this or other common carrlor, nor any other person, who, In connection with the transportation nf any spir ituous, vinous, malted, fermented or other Intoxicating liquor of any kind, from one state, territory or district of tho United States, or from any foreign country Into any Btato. territory or district of tho United States, shall collect the purchase price or any part thereof, before, on, or after delivery, or shall In any manner act as the agent of tho buy er or seller of any Biich liquor, for the purpose of buying or Belling or completing the sale thereof, saving only in actual transportation and de livery of the same, vhall he lined not more than $5,000. iuitx ANDRU8 To Mr.'and Mrs. A.
