ahead with more than usual vigor. The
work of rebuilding is going forward with
great rspidity, and in less than FIVE years
from the present time, she will have re-

hundreds Of the most costly and magniH-

In one Alphabetically last-no less
than one thousand seven hundred dead hogs

new liquor law, passed by the last legisla

first day Of July. These men have band
ed themselves together for the purpose o
opposing the enforcement Of the, to them
odous measure. They do not propose Il
use violence or threats to accomplish thei
purpose, but are determined to try the va
lidity of tho law through the prope
