A BAG of powdered ice would have ten
dency to reduce the excitement in the Senti-
nePs head. Hear what is has to say, yester-
day, Of the Lincoln League:
''rhe whole power of the Lincoln League
will be used to back up the Republicans Of
the lower house in anything they undertake
That's what it is for. The League is for bust
ness-to sell farm or to kill Democrat, just
as occasion shall demand"
That for starter Here is another "gem:"
'"The Sentinel says to the Democrats of In
diana, it were better that the streams of the
State should run red for month than that a
single one of the seventy-six Democrats
should be elected from his rightful place in
the next General Assembly by the Republican
majority of the lower house."
And here is another:
''The Sentinel says to the Democrats of In
diana that they will never retain their major
ity in the next Legislature without fight,
and they must be willing to make it, whatever
the conditions, whatever the hazards, what
ever the shape it may take"
And still one more:
"And [the Sentinel will go so far despite
the certain protest of the Republican press of
the State and the Evansville Courier as to
suggest the organization of a Democratic
league to be known as the Old Hickory True
Blues, whose motto shall be
"Fair Play or a Fight"

If the Rev O. G. McCulloch of Indianapolis,
will study the evidence in the case of the con-
demned Chicago Anarchists he will find that, in
stead of spending their time in contemplating
"the human sorrows and sufferings" presented
in that city, they were mainly occupied in test
ing the beer which is sold there, and devising
ways and means to bring on a social revolution
which would enable them to seize and divide the
property of the industrious and prudent mem
bers of the community.

mashcr who had been crushed with
his shape at the masquerade.
Maturer deliberation, however, con.
WINGED him that in the mists of the
first holiday it had been sped on an
unintended mission. He perused il
no further, but gently folding the
saccharine missive, returned it to his
friend, and hcaved deep sigh in
sympathy with the girl whose disap-

with anxious fingers and FACILITATING

The storm of the End, grid and 18th
instants was mild hammered and Sc
rene as compared with that which
visited us on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday last. The low, degraded
thermometer ranged from twenty
four to thirty-four degrees below
zero, with a cutting wind, accompan-
led by a driving snow that filed
every nook and Granny, and made its
way through the smallest crevice.
Few travellers ventured abroad, and
business was practically suspended,
people generally finding the most
comfort in their own homes, where
the fires CLEANED with ruddier
glow because of the blizzard that
howled without. John Gray, who
il is said has driven the Rock Island
company's engine on its regular
semi-daily trips to Atlantic through
the storms of many winters, sue
cumbed to this last one, and is de-

round trip each day. The North

yesterday, having made but one trip
from Carroll since Saturday, the and.
AT present the air is clear and the
suns rays are slightly penetrating
the huge drifts Of the beautiful, and
there is reason to hope that we will
liue in comparative comfort for a
time at least. These last storms
were quite fierce for the incidental
fiurries that were advertised to ac-
company the open winter of $50.
The man who prophesied an open
winter is in the rear busily engaged
in searching for the wherewithal he
shall keep himself warm.

II was patient congregation OF
thirty-one souls that listened to the
interesting sermon delivered by Rev.
Bartlett at the Presbyterian Church
last Sabbath morning, taking for
his text the words of David of old
when he said: ain my haste l said
all men are liars" The speaker
thought that perhaps David was a
dispeptic sufferer at the time he
used the words. He said that when
men are disappointed in their hopes
and ambitions, when their plans fail
them, and their individual life is
dark and gloomy, then they too, pro-
nounce all men liars. When min
lister or other public man goes wrong
he is judged as sample OF his pro-
fession, and no thought is given to
the thousands of his fellow men who
were Flooding the ways Of truth and
fidelity. He scored the cynic with.
out mercy, and said that ii were bet
ter to Judge with too much charity
than to under estimate the character
of our associates in the worlds veal
and woe. The sermon delivered
without notes was very interesting,
or the small audience could not have
been held in an atmosphere that was
characteristic of an ice-house. This,
however, should not deter people
from attending this church next Sab
bath, for Rev. Bartlett voluntarily
promised that so long as he remained
in Audubon It should not occur again.
The house will be warm or the
minister will be out of town.
