The Soldiers Funeral.
Correspondence OF tho Cincinnati Gazette.
LAwRFrcr. Kansas. Oct. Al


William r. Bowels, one of the Free
State prisoners at Lecompton, died
there on Sunday morning about three
o'clock. He died from neglect and
abuse-from the wretched manner In
which he has been compelled to live
since no became u prisoner. He had
been unwell less than three days, and
had no medical advice In his sickness,
and no change In his treatment. A num-
Der Of the prisoners are unwell now,
and II they are kept much longer In
their present wrstched quarters, fatal
results to some oi them may bo expect
cd.
The deceased was from st. Charles
county, Mo. He was 27lyear sold, and
came into tho Territory on the 7th ol
August last. He was at the battle OF
franklin, and fought with the Free
State men In all tho engagements since
that time.
His body was brought down to the
city on Sunday, and his funeral took
place yesterday morning at 10 o'clock.
Tho services were by the Rev. Mr.
Mute, and the body was attended to the
grave by the surviving members Of ths
military company. (the Stubs) to whiih
he belonged. The services were solemn
and impressive.
On the last day OF Mr.. Bowles' sick
ness, friend OF his went TO DR.. Brooks
the keeper OF the Lecompton Hotel
and tho only physician then In town.
and requested him 10 20 and sec Bowles
telling HIM that he feared he must die
soon II not relieved. The Doctor wa,
at tho card.tablc at ths time, and on be-
Ing told that Il was a Free State prison
or hc was desired to 90 and see, asket
tho man how much no would give hin
to 70. Bowles' friend replied that he
would give him $40, and askod u h,
wanted moro (.he distance was sbou
10 rods). The Doctor In reply swors
that he would not go--that he coult
mako more money playing cards than In
going TO see Free State men.

PORTLAND, Sept. IS, 1886

AmAsA McCoY, ESQ. Dear Sir.
Your letter Of the 18th has Just come e
hand. Ilose no time In answering your
inquiry as TO tho position OF the Rus
PARTY In Maine, a. the result Of our re-
cent election. l am constantly reesiv'
Ing letters from ell parts Of the country,
asking for Information upon that point;
and l find that the Temperance men ev.
erywhere have been looking anxiously
for the word which Maine would speak
for the cause on the eth. q si1't
Maine has spoken the word, which
has sent Joy to the hearts Of our friends,
and spread dIsmay through the ranks ol
our enemies. The Rum party ID ann!hl-
lated In Maine; "defeatsd" does not sx.
press the fact, "annihslatsd" 10 the only
word.
The present administration OF the
State came into power upon the plsdgs
Of favoring'a suitable Prohibitory Law
1t declared that the Maine Law was un-
necsssaryily harsh and severe in Its pen.
alties. and that It's objects could be ac-
complished a. we'll or better BY . law
With less stringent provisions.
BY very small majority, the people
consented to try the experiment. The
party was no sooner successful, than Il
procee ded to repeal the Maine Law, and
re-enact the License Law, which had
been repealed since ls46. These were
the leading measures OF the Legisla turs,
the State administration, and the party.
That was its only plrtfsrm on State 10.
es-"License for Grog-shops, and no
Prohibition"
This administration presented itsell
before the people, and entreatedI them To
support It and its policy. The answer
is an emphatic No. The majority a.
gainst 1t is 90 tremendous, that the par.
ty can have no hope ever TO rise again.
The Maine Law had entirely extin.
guished the open sale Of Intoxicating H.
quors throughout the State. Intempsr.
ance had nearly disappeared from a.
mongst us and the people saw but liz
tie and felt but little Of the terrible 70.
suits Of that vice. But the new system
or rather the old system, revived, has
already. In less than six months, filled
our cities, towns and villages with open
rum-shops Of every grade, and ouI
streets, watch-houses, jails and aims.
houses with drunkards. The people are
disgusted with the party In power. are
mortified, and panied At the disastroul
result OF the "experiment"-snd they
have hurled the authors of this great
mischief from their high places, by q
majority greater than any party ever had
before In the State.
Our Legislature elect are almos,
unanimously Maine Law mimi, and the
course to be pursued BY Us, IL simply {
question OF cxpedisncy.

Finally: For these reasons, and with
out the least hesitation, I distinctly and
unoquIvocally decline your invitation to

A student once called at his house and

for some time In the chamber, he
appeared, and without speaking, took a
chair, and seated himself In the middle
Of the room. Tho student, far from
being embarrassed by this unexpected
proceeding took lighted candle In hand

The idea that man can be honest
while confirmed gambler, Is most sb-
surd. Gambling saps the principle oi
honesty, and makes man y villain in
a night. The record Of this vice Is
