LOUISVILLE, June 6.-For several days rumors
have been current on the street here that Geo.
K. Speed, cashier and member of the well known
banking firm of A. d. Hunt & Co, was short in
his accounts, and that he had gone to Canada
On Tuesday he left the city without saying
where he going. On Thursday his brother
received telegram from him at Detroit, stating
that he did not know Row he got there and that
he was nearly crazy. On investigation the bank
officials discovered that Speed had overdrawn
his account between $40, 900 and $4,000, but tina
same was properly entered on the books. Mr..
Speed was brought back to Louisville by his
brother, tonight, and the matter will be settled
satisfactorily for al. parties, as Speed has more
than enough to make good his deficit.

Young Thieves.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Pages house, No 500
South East street, was entered by young sneak
thieves, their ages running from eleven to four
teen. Fifty dollars worth of jewelry was taken
and given to Johnnie Kelly, eleven years old, to
SELL so he claims. He sold several rings and was
arrested on the charge of grand larceny. The
gravity of the charge and probable punishment
had no effect on the young sinner, as he accepted
the situation with surprising indifference.

WEST VIRGINIA FREEMAN
Death of Rev. j. C. Brown.
Ut LeavenwOrth, Kansas.

The following notice, taken from
the Kansas Age, of Leavenworth,
Kansas, will be read with sad in
terest, by the many friends of the
deceased in West Virginia.
The subject of the sketch was
a brother of the Hon. R. s. Brown.
of jackson county, so we'll known
throughout the State.
Under the caption as above, the
Ke~sas Age says:
The Rev. J. C. Brown was born
in K nox county, Ohio, in 1896, and
having acquired liberal collegi-
ate education, he entered the min
istry of the M. E. Church, in 1851,
in the Pittsburgh, Pa, Conference !;
and for many years he ministered
to some of the best appointments
of that connection. In 1868 he was
transferred to the West, where his
high character as Christian min
lister, and jealous and eloquent
speaker, obtained for him con-
spicuous positions in his Church,
such as Presiding Elder of his dis
trict and member of the General
Conference in Baltimore.
For some years Mr.. Brown had
been in feeble health, and not able
to bear the labor of constant work,
but as far as his strength would al
low, he continued in the service of
the ministry until his death which
occurred suddenly on the 21st of
August, 1885.
He was man of genial, social
nature, kind, truthful, honorable
endowed by nature with fine
mind, which he cultivated with as
siduous application and study and
he ranked amongst the most gifted
and useful preachers of the age.
Mr.. Brown leaves an interesting
and cultivated family in Leaven-
worth, where he resided for years
before his death also a wide circle
of friends in this State, in Iowa,
and in the East.

Temperance instruction.

The introduction of the temper
ance question into the public
school text books is an attempt at
dignifed, rational agitation. 1t
ought to do much toward discourage
ing the politico-prohibition hypo-
critics who have made the temper
ance agitation money-maklng
usiness.-Philadelphia Bulletin.
The introduction of the temper
ance question into the pubic school
textbooks has been earnestly
sought for by political prohibition
lists everywhere who are greatly
rejoiced at its growing success. 1t
ought to, and no doubt does, do
much toward discouraging the pol
itico-whisky newspapers which
have been making the liquor traffic
a money-making business.

Height OF Absurdity.

When will people stop being so
foolish as to say that the adoption
of Prohibition or any other cause,
by a political party, renders it i'm
proper for the church to champion
that cause? The idea that the
action of any body of men on earth
can make it improper for the
church to uphold the right and de-
nounce the wrong under any and
all circumstances is the very height
of absurdity, and, as matter of
course, is SO regarded by all except
those who desire to continue their
work of public corruption, untram-
meled by religious interference.

The Voice Extras.

Speaking of the Voice Extras
as to that, every number of the
Voice is most valuable E1tra.
But We desire now to make partic-
ular mention of those monthly
campaign documents issued by
Messrs Funk & Wagnalls. They
come out in tract or pamphlet
form at so cts. year, and are every
one full of ready, cracking Prohi-
bition fuel. The copy before us
has our own Mr.. T. K. Carskadon's
fare we'll letter to the Republican
party, with many other articles
from leading Prohibitionists of the
country.
Everybody ought to have The
Voice every week, and then buy
stacks of the Extras to SOW broad
cast.

Cincinnati Politics.

The Com. Gazette, in comment
ing on the local ticket nominated
at Cincinnati, last week, feels
"sorry it is not better and glad it
is not worse" In other words, Hal
stead thinks it is "good enough,
what there is of it, and plenty of it,
such as it is"
One of the candidates runs a
VIGOROUSLY disreputable saloon, in
which terrible stabbing ARRAY
occurred, the night after his NOM
ination.
Three fights in the Convention
were considered by the editor of
Com. Gazette as a very reasonable
number, considering the circum-
stances.
Cincinnati political conventions,
of both parties, are giving the city
about the worst reputation of any
city in America.
If there are any good law-abiding
citizens left in Cincinnati, Third
Party ticket ought to draw con-
siderable vote there this fall.

1t is surely time wasted and la
Dor lost to further discuss the ques-
ton whether the Grafton Conven-
ton did right or wrong. The Pro-
hibition party is now fixed fact,
full fedged. 1t is here, and has
come to stay 1t has fully entered
the political arena, determined to
stand by and defend the principles
it has enunciated. "Sink or swim"
Survive or perish" we cannot, zoe
Care not take step backward. Con-
scious that our principles are pure,
and our cause ust, it is no time
now for any Prohibitionist to find
fault, falter or complain.
At Grafton, the Convention did
what it thought was for the best,
and time will prove the wisdom of
its action.
Therefore, all our good brethren
should cease to complain, and go
to work, heart and hand, to bring
about the consummation so devout-
ly prayed for.
AS lovers of our homes, and lay
ing claim to self-respect, can we
longer afford to affiliate with the
corrupt and designing leaders of
the Republican and Democratic
parties, both of which are craven
towards before the liquor power.
Let us be men, and no longer beg
gars at the shrine of Bacchus, but
demand as right that our homes
be protected.
Let others do as they may, as for
me, l have laid aside my Democra-
cy to fight the battle of Prohibi-
ton. And as God is just, SO will
our cause surely triumph. In due
time victory will perch on our ban
ner, even if that banner must be
raised over the grave of a defunct,
but once grand old party.
Let us hen to the score, let chips
fall where they may.

Mu:ish Murat.

A reporter for The Voice recently
interviewed Mr.. Murat Halstead, of
the Com. Gazette. Here it is:
"Mr. Halstead, what effect do you
think the Prohibition movement
will have in this State ?"
81 don't know that there's any
such movement. There are few
pitiable, sniveling cranks out here,
but l am not informed that they
are moving things to any alarming
extent"
What is your opinion of the
Prohibitionists ?"
"My opinion is they are lot of
idiots who ought to be dislran-
chised."
Mr.. Halstead would say no more.

AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.
Their Notions and Ours.

ne supreme COuTt mas not u6-
cided that taxation for regulation
and restraint is unconstitutional,
but that some of the methods of
collection were.-Columbns DIS
patch.
Just so, and those very methods
which were declared unconstitu-
tional, are the only methods which
the saloon men are not able to
evade.
Barring its radical-prohibition
proclivities, the Intelligercer is all
that could be desired as neat and
able newspaper. = Weston World.
How is this, Bro. Hart? Is the
World mistaken, or have you been
harboring Prohibition proclivities
all this time without letting US
know anything about it2
A Prohibition amendment would
not be of the slightest advantage to
the cause of temperance in the State
of W. Va.-Ceredo Enterprise.
The Enterprise died after the
above foolish declaration.
If Bro. Merrill carries such per-
nicious sentiments into the State
Tribune, of which he is now Editor,
there will be no good reason why
it should survive the Enterprise.
The day before the Republican
convention, the Com. Gazette pro
claimed that the nomination of
Cox would prove fatal. Yesterday
she gulped the man with grace.
She's accustomed to devour shoe
nails VoIksfreund.
The Gazette swallows whatever
the beer bosses prescribe. The sa-
loon keeper Cox was not a bad
dose for it at all.
Judge Foraker is one of the best
and most able men Ohio has yet
produced, and, it elected, will make
superior officer. He is a friend
of the temperance people, Hunting
ton Rep.
The principles of taxation of the
liquor traffic are eternal in the Re-
publican party-I am neither for
nor against Prohibition.-Foraker.
Gov. Hoadly will challenge Judge
Foraker and DR.. Leonard to meet
him throughout the State of Ohio
in triangular discussion of the is
sues of the campaign Weston DEM
ocrdt.
Oh mol You never yet heard of
Democrat challenging Prohibi-
Zionist to discussion. DR.. Leon
ard has already challenged both
Hoadly and Foraker, and they have
both declined.
The Foraker wave is irresistible.
Nothing but the interposition of
Almighty God can stem it, and He
is friend of Foraker s.-Portsmouh
Tribune.
Surely if Foraker is on an SIRE
sistible wave," and has such a
friend in his campaign as above
named, he ought to be able to meet
DR.. Leonard in one little discu ssion
at least.

Chickens and Pills.

DIR. Jones, who practices in suburb
of this city has an elaborate machine
for making pills. The doctors prac-
tice is quite extensive, and when he
puts the machine in operation tie re-
suit is enough TO scare a nervous pa
tient into convalescence or fits. Not
long ago DR.. Jones made several quarts
of pills and waited for bright day to dry
them. As soon as he had good look at
the sun he spread the pills carefully on
the roof of convenient outbuilding,
and drove off to see his patients. About
half an hour after the doctors buggy
had disappeared Mrs. Jones heard an
unusually vociferous squawk from the
boss rooster of the backyard, but she
had not curiosity enough to investi-
gate the cause, being confident that no
colored brother would invade the
chicken reservation on such a bright
day. If she had looked she would
have seen the rooster perched on the
roof of the outbuilding eating pills as
though he was laying up for seven lean
years of famine.
Attracted by the ROSTERS summons
to the banquet, and his evident enjoy
ment thereof, one or two hens flew up
to the top of the shed and proceeded to
devour the pills. They cackled and
clucked a little after satisfying their
appetites, and more hens came. Then
more hens cackled. Then there were
still more hens and less pills. The in
creased volume of the cackling in
dulged in by the hen convention finally
attracted Mrs. Jones attention again.
and she went forth to learn the cause
She didn't learn it just then, for the
entire cause was concealed within the
hens. Not pill was to be seen. Two
or three hens lay on the ground writh-
ing from the effects of blue mass. The
boss rooster sat grimly in fence cor
ner laooring under dose of podo-
phyllin. Two or three gay young pull
lets had been so highly benefited that
they were fighting out the disputed
title to a pill that one of them had
swallowed. Other fowls staggered
about in a dazed sort of fashion, won
dering what was the matter with them.
Two hundred and thirty-seven pills
were found in the craw of one of the
chickens which was killed for dinner
that day. Nobody could explain how
they got there till the doctor came
home. He examined the shed roof and
the pills taken from the slain chickens
craw and said one or two little words
The family dined that day on eggs
bought at the grocery store.-Erie
