The drouth that is threatened by the fol-
lowing order of Judge Baer, on Monday last
is more appalling to the old topers than d
six mont tbs dry spell to the farmers Of Kan
sas. The rule says First. All applications
for tavern or restaurant licenses will be heard
on Monday evening Of the February and
May Terms, respectively, and all previous
orders and rules inconsistent herewith are
repealed. Second If more than one license
shall be applied for in any borough or town
ship. and the same citizens shall have signed
the certificates Of more than one petition,
such certificates may, in the discretion of the
Court. be viewed with disfavor, and unless
the necessity for all the licenses applied for,
as contemplated in the law, shall satisfacto-
rily appear to the Court, it will not consider
such certificates as making ont the necessity
for more than one house and ifupon such
petitions. it becomes necessary for the Court
to decide between applicants it may regard
the order of time in which the certificates
were signed" Under the old rule the licen-
scs was granted on the first Monday evening
after the second Monday in January. and the
first Monday after the second Monday in
April. Il will be seen that under the new
rule. licences expiring about the middle OF
January con not be renewed until February
term. and those expiring in April until the
Nav term. so that all the bars in the county
will be closed about one month.

The story comes up from Middlecreek
townshipthat some two weeks ago a man by
the name Of Frank Peleman, who has fig
ured considerably in oar criminal courts,
was killed by a citizen Of that township and
his body placed upon log pile, which was
then set on fire. The story goes that the
portions Of the body not consumed by the
fire were gathered up by the murderer and
duried under heap of stones. Poleman' 5
dog, by its piteous bowling around the stone
pile attracted the attention and excited the
suspicion Of two farmers, who overturned
the pile Of stones and thus discovered the
charred remains of a man. The reason as
signed for the murder is that POLICEMAN had
run across an Illicit distillery in the noun
tains, and the moonshiners, fearing that he
would divulge on them, concluded to put
him out of the way and appointed one Of
their number to do it. The story is believed
by some and scofled at by others. We give
it to our readers for what il is wort b.
