An Eyicted Irish Farmer Kills IA Baiiiff
by Fire.

al INicteu ifIhn Farmer klils "a Baifin
by Fire.
Much excitement has been caused
throughout Galway and Roscommon
Counties, Ireland, by the action OF an
eyicted farmer of Ballinaslo, which is
situated in both counties. Thefarmer
had been put of his holding under cir
cumstances which increased his rage
the more he thought OF the affair.
Finally he became desperate, and de
cided upon revenge. He visited the
baililf who had performed the act Of
eviction, and piled him with liquor un
til the official was stone drunk Then
the farmer took the helpless bailiff
and held him over the fire until the
man was fatally burned. Despite the
barbarlty OF the farmers revenge, he
has the sympathy of large number
OF the poor farmers in both counties.

FORCED TO RETIRE.
The London Police are Unable to Control
Mob of 10000

Mob Of 10000.
4 riot occurred on the afternoon of
the 18th, between a mob and the Lon
don police, for the possession OF the
Nelson monument in Trafalgar Square.
About 10, 600 men had assembled in
the square to make a demonstration
against the government budget pro-
pOsals to increase the duty on spirits
and beer. The crowd was very unruly,
large portion of it consisting OF an
element on search for sport. The
police found themselves unable to
maintain order, and the pressure on
the speakers and resolution readers
compelled them to mount the pedestal
OF the Nelson monument. When from
this emlnence the speeches were re
sumed, they were rendered in
audible to the audience addressed,
by the uproar among the roy
sterers. The police interviewed to
secure silence for the orators
and then great struggle ensued be-
tween he mob and the police for the
possession of the monument The
row lasted nearly an hour, and the
promoters of the meeting and the po-
hce were finally compelled to retire,
leaving the crowd singing in triumph
"Rule Britannia" Soon after the
mob had compelled the speakers to
leave, 1t surged down to the front OF
the National Club, which faces Trafal-
gar Square, w. c. Every person no
ticed entering or leaving the club build
ing was mobbed. The attitude of the
crowd was so menacing that the club
doors were closed and a messenger dis
patched to Scotland Yard for addi-
tional police. At 9 O'Clock the rioters
were still lnfull possession OF Trafalgar
Square, and Northumberland Avenue
was also occupied by mob OF many
thousands. The police by this time
had been largely reinforced, had
charged a number of times upon the
mob, and had made several arrests.

Pensacola Bay Is equal to any har-
Dor in the Sou-h for beauty, depth
and security. Santa Rosa Island, a
sand-key of the gulf, forty miles long,
is the breakwatcr of the harbOr. On
the end OF this island, at the entrance
TO the harbOr, stands Fort Plckens,
now denuded of guns. and guarded by
a single sergeant. In spite OF its bat
tie record it looks quite modern,
though it is the familiar haunt OF the
rattlesnake. Opposite, on the man
land, are the ruins of old Fort McRae,
tottering amid the surges which dash
against it's remaining arches. In the
distance the remains OF old Fort Ba-
rancas lie sleeping with the memories
of Gen. Jackson and the Spanish COM
mandant who blew it up at the cap
ture OF the place by an American ar
nv in 1914. The deserted navy yard
is not far away. It's massive build

The NEW TEMPERANCE Law.
Nm. Sims,
Secretary.


On the seventh page of this issue will
be found the full text of the new tenn
pc. ance law. A careful perusal of the
same will show that for all legitimate
purposes the sale of liquor is no more
stringently guar ded than it should be,
for the protection Of all classes; but
that for the illegitim tte sale it is iron
bound and strongly guarded.
Under the law it can be sold only by
actuaI druggists of good moral charae-
ter, AID such character IS to be deter
mined by twelve citizens and the Pro-
bate Judge. It can be sold only for
medical, mechanical and scientific pur-
poses, and the permit can be revoked
az any time.
A regular practicing physician may
prescribe or administer intoxicating
liquor, when the same is actually neces-
sary; but il he assists any person to
obtain liquor in evasion of the law, or
to use as a beverage, he is liable to
both fine and imprisonment.
The pa ties purchasing liquor of a
druggists must make q written or print
ed statement setting forth the particu-
lar purpose for which such liquor IS re-
quirsd, the kind and qualify desired,
aud that it is not intended for a bever-
age nor 10 sell or give away, and there
shall be but one sale and one delivery
upon any one prescription or statement.
No druggist shall permit the drinking
on his premises of any liquor Purchas-
ed in his store, Every person making
a false statement TO obtain liquor, is
deemed guilty of 8 misdemeanOr, and
is liable IA both fine and imprisonment d.
The druggist shall keep a record Of all
sales made by him which shall be open
to the public at all reasonable hours.
Any person guilty of selling without
a legal permit is subject 70 both fns
and imprisonment. his will have a
tendency to dampeu the ardOr of those
who could stand q fine aud still cOnun-
ue in the traffic. The idea of imprisOn-
meut is not 80 tasteful, and viii doubt
less have q Statutory effect.
1t is also fine and Imprisonment to
sell tn a person who is intoxicated or
who is in the habit uf bee ,mIng intOxi-

ON THE WlNG--THE STRIKE
The ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE.
DeciaL C0rre8pondenoe.


SPRINGFIELD, H., March 10, 80.
ED. HERALD: In all probability the
people of northwestern Kansas will fud
it necessary to seek a new object at
which to hurl their abuse since the Cen
tlal Branch railroad has been so thor
oughly ansformed from a rickety, rat
Ting doath-trap to a decent and com
Portable thoroughfare. The change
that has taken place in the road is truly
wonderful, and people desiring to viois
the east may do so now over this route
without feeling the necessity of having
their lives insured before starting.
The railroad strike extending
throughout the entire Gould system was
about the only theme thought Oh by the
people of AtchIsOn, Kansas City and ST.
Louis, the latter part Of last week. At
Atchison every switch and side track
was filed with box and hat cars heavily
loaded with freight destined for pOiHts
west. At Kansas City matters were no
better, and at Sedalia the blockade had
assumed mammoth proportions. 1t
was at this place that Marmaduke
deemed it necessary to order a detach-
ment of the ). G. NJ, but stopped it
when on a second sober tn ught he dis
covered that the strikers had done moth
ing that justified the presence of an
armed militia. Throughout the entire
system sentiment favOrs the strikers by
a big round majority. The orderly
manner in which the st,ike has been
conducted cOmlnends it strongly to all
thinking men, and even some of those
whose business have been materially IN
jured by suspension Of travel are ready
to cOncede the justice of demands Of
the strikers. 1t Is hoped that the pres
ent condition Of affairs will have a ten
denoy to cause the great Fl Msdhi Of
commerce 10 recognize the tact that
labOling men have some rights which
railruad king are bound TO respect.
Passing through the smoky city and
over that grea: structure connecting the
east with the west, Mississippi valley 4.
and which first made the name Of Capt.
Eads famous, everything Is serene, and
the people seemingly ObliviOus Of she
fact that Jay Gould's employees a'e

Wall street monarch that they mean
business.

himself into the United States Senate.
That dark evil looking cuss seated in
the rear of the hall on the Republican
side is Sittig from Chicago, the man who
persists in his refusal to vote for John

that the most generous thing he could
do would be to place his exquisite form

The following letter from Hon Vim.
Sims, Secretary of the State Board Of
Agriculture, to County Clerk j. W.
Lowe. fully explains itself. 1t is very
important to this County that full and
complete enumeration Of the census be
taken.
Our county has had almost enough
population to entitle it to two represent
atives in the legislature. And as there
will be an extra session Of the legisla-
ture next winter, for the purI Ose of
making a new Legislative appOrlinn-
ment for the state, under the COnstitu-
ton, il is absolutely necr sssry that in
order for our county TO get a just repre-
sentatiOn. the enumeration should be 50
complete that not an individual would
be omitted. The representation of the
county for some time to cume will be
based on the work of the pre-ent asses
sOrs, and they will be held strictly ac-
cOuntable for their work. ERe County
Clerk informs US that no incomplete as
SCISSORS returns will be accepted by him.
He is compellt d to insist on this ia Or
der to do mis- duty to the county. Let
