oath that he will not vote for any man
who is not q member Of the league. -
They ask now that men who do not be-
long to the league vote for them, but
they can not return that vote by voting
for those who do not belong to the or
der. unless these candidates leave the
order, or those who don't now belong
iuin the order. That the order is wrong
and is dying there can be no doubt, and
therefore we advise these candidates to

Let all carefully read the Order of

GENERAL ORDER NO. 5,
HEADQUARTERS DISTRICT OF INDIANA ASD !
Michigan, DEPARTMENT OF THE ONO, :
ISDANAPOLIs, June 30, 1868 }
The peace Of Indiana has lately beer
disturbed by violence, murder and othel
acts contrary TO law, and having thei
origin in certain secret political Socie
ties, clubs, or leagues. The common
safety now demands that all such asso
Citations should be discontinued, no mat
ter to what political party they may be
long. They are q constant source
dread and mistrust--they divide an
provoke hostility between neighbour
weaken the dignity and power of Court
of Justice, expose the country to mai
tial law, and discourage the people froE
enlsting in defense Of the nation.
No matter how honest or worthy ma
have been the reason for such societi'
in the beginning, their very secrecy an
the oaths they impose do enable wicke
men to use them unto unlawful ends, an
pervert them into public nuisances.
All good objects can be accomplishe
openly, and none but the enemies OF the
country ever need disguiSes.
1t is perfectly plain that such seer
organizations are both dangerous al
beyond the ordinary grasp of the la"
they are, therefore, declared to be ho
;ilt, aud will be put down by oil the mi
itary power of the district, If need be.
invoke against said secret soci
ties lhe good influence and active aid
all men who are friendly to the Unio
to discontinue'aud peaceably break
such organizations within the limits
this district; and call upon the mel
bers thereof speedily to withdraw fro
their dark meetings, and openly she
that their intentions or acts are such

The Snow.

On Monday last. we had quite n fall.

cradle portion Of the forenoon. A tone
time the ground was covered, no,wi,h-
standing the melting process was going
on al the while. This was an unusual
occurrence for this couniry-snow after
the FIRST OF April being almost unknown
IN this region. We are led To believe
however, that the snow and chilly
weather were fortunate. Tie chine
bugs had made their appearance IN some
localities, and the cold snap was not
very good for their health, we presume
his.o be hoped they were DESTROYED.
1t would De a misfortune for them to

1easies-A Caution.

During the past week or ten DAYS
the measles have prevailed quite extern
sively in this community. A mistaken
notion prevails that this disease Is no,
much to be dreaded. Ii takes more
lives than the small pox; yet if managed
properly evil results need no, follow.
They become very dangerous when
they "strike in," as it is commonly
termed. and very active treatment must
then be resortsd to to save the patient,
This condition may be known by a
bosrseRess cot unlike the Group, conges-
lion Of the brain,-ef the whole system

can save the life Of the patient
A most efficient remedy is the appii-
cation Of warm water. Put The invalid
in il. or wrap up in wet sheet. with
dry blanket on the outside. aud cover
up in bed. Cold water or warm teas
may be drank freely. The tending s,
congestion must be overcome.
From what We have heard. i; is quite
probable that some-if not all-of the

during the week have resulted from
measles as above described.
