PROHIBITION DEMANDS.
Platform of the Illinois Prohibition Co

Platform of the Illinois Prohibition Con-
ventiOn.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June N-The commit
tee on platform of the state prohibition con-
vention to-day reported series of resolu-
tions, which we're unanimously adopted. The
declaration of principles is embodied in the
following preamble:
WHEREAS, The liquor traffic is justly charged
with organized and rebellious opposition to
existing statutes; with merciless oppression
of thousands of innocent women and chill
dren; with nefarious attempts to debauch
the morals of our youth; with the parentage
of most of the crime and lawlessness, misery
and want prevailing among us; with con-
spiracy to corrupt politics and legislation,
and with the contribution of sympathy and
aid to rioters, communists and anarchists;
therefore we call upon all good citizens to
renOunce their allegiance to the party allies
of that traffic, and unite with us for the en-
tirpation of this odious cause of crime, dis
aster, social disintegration and Astounding
misery.
The platform demands absolute prohibi-
ton of the sale and manufacture of LIQUOR,
that the right of suffrage be granted to
women, and that the people be given an op-
portunity to vote for the prohibitory amend
ment.
Springfield, ILL.,, June 24.-Henry w.

AN HoNoRED CITIZEN GONE.
Death of the Hon. David Davis, at Bloom

Death of the Hon. David Davis, at Bloom
inston, Ill.
BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, June 26.-David Davis
died at O'Clock this morning. He sank in
to comatose state twelve hours before his
end, and passed painlessly away, surrounded
by his family.
BIOGRAPHICAL.
David Davis was born in Cecil county
MARYLAND, March 8, 1915, and was educated
at Kenyon college. Ohio. He studied law
with Judge Bishop, in Leno1, Mass, and in
the law school at New Haven, Conn. In 1895
he settled at Bloomington, ILL.,, where he has
since resided. He began active political life
in 1845, being elected member of the lower
house of the Illinois legislature. He was
member also of the constitutional conven-
ton which framed a new constitution for
the state in 1847, and in 1848 was elected
Judge of the Eighth judicial circuit of ILL
nois. and reelected in 1866 and again in
81. Judge Davis was warm personal friend
of Abraham Lincoln long before that dis
tinguished man was named for the presi-
dency, and he vas one of the most ardent
supporters of Mr.. Lincoln's election to that
office. As a lawyer Mr.. Davis stood at the
head of the bar in Illinois before he became
Judge, and President Lincoln, recognizing
his great abilities, appointed him,
in 1862, an associate justice of the
supreme court or the United States.
After serving an honorable career of
fifteen years on the supreme court bench,
than which it had no more popular member,
Judge Davis resigned to accept lat in the
United States senate. He was for six years
one of the most conspicuous members of
that body. Physically, Judge Davis was the
largest man who ever occupied seat in the
senate. It was necessary, on his admission,
to have a chair made large enough for him.
He was elected to the senate as an indie
pendent, and acted as one while member.
Mr.. Malone, of Virginia, was the other in
dependent in the senate and the balance of
power rested with him and Judge Davis.
After the death of President Garfield, Judge
Davis was honored by being chosen presi-
dent of the senate, a position which made
him virtually vice president of the United
States, Mr.. Arthur having been sworn into
the presidency. As presiding officer he
was very popular. Soon after retiring from
the vice presidency in 1883 the Judge was
married, in second nuptials, to neice of
Judge Green, member of congress from an
eastern North Carolina district, a lady of
beauty and culture. Since that time he has
resided quietly at his home, Bloomington,
Illinois.

HarpOOning Hippos.

lie UentlemanS magazine.
The boat drew near to the hippos
which we're coming down stream, evident
" in some commotion. Right out in tn,
center was seen occasionally the head O
one which promised to be even larger
than the bull shot the night before, anG
for him Malcolmson steered, White il
the bows with bis harpoon poised, watch
ing him keenly. "Why, the tarnal crit
ter means mischief, and is coming for III
right straight! He is like a CALLED
whale don't care what he does. Starn
all, men. Pull bard round to starboard
MI. Malcolmson." The men backed and
Mr.. Malcolmson swung the boat round,
and they just avoided charge which
the hippo made straight at them, and
were watching for his next rise when
they felt themselves lifted nearly out OF
the water as he bumped up under the
boat; luckily he did not capsize them,
and the whaler slid down, rocking violent
~, into the water without giving White
a chance with the harpoon, although
Badenoch managed to plant lance in
him which he left sticking up in
his stern like an ensign staff. 'Never
use lance before you're fastr' shouted
White. "Look, men, he's coming at us
ag'in?" This time, as he charged, NAL
johnson, guided by the staff of the
lance, managed to avoid him, and also
to pass SO close alongside that White
got the harpoon well home into his
flank. "Guess we're fast! Now water
on the line; he's soundingv' The
wounded hippo, however did not go far,
but soon turned and charged the boat
again, nearly capsizing her and starting
a couple of planks, but White and Bade-
noch each got lance home. Two hands
had to be set to bale, as the boat was
leaking fast; but the hippopotamus was
evidently badly wounded, and in another
charge missed the boat altogether, and
rolling as he passed, exposed his side be-
hind the shoulder, when White put in
another lance, deeply this time. The
hippo sounded at once, and for come time
remained below water, and when he
again came up to blow was spouting
blood? He's done! Haul up to him,
lads, and guess wen settle him now.
White and Malcolmson now changed
places, and when they came up to the
hippo planted another lance fsr down
between his shoulders with such force
hat it went hallway up to the shaft.
Some twenty minutes elapsed without

surface, and found him to be even
anger than they had thought.

the surface smooth and calm. Fish are dying
by thousands and floating like chips on the
surface of the water. 1t is supposed that
they are poisoned by this oily scum, but
whence the destroyer comes nobody knows.
A suggestion that ship loaded with oil may
have foundered in the vicinity is secuted,
because from Lockwood's Folly all the way
to Little river the scum is found and the
coast is strewn with the dead fish all the
way. In the salt water about Shallotte and
Tubb,s inlet are immense quantities of the
dead fish of every kind, and it is feared that
there are no live fish left in Shallotte river
or within ten miles of its mouth. The water
appears to have become as oil and the wind
seems to make no impression on 1t.
The following crop SUMMARY appeared
in Chicago paper: "The harvesting of
wheat has been concluded in Tennessee,
Kentucky and Missouri. In the former two
states continuous wet weather delayed the
gathering of the grain in some sections, and
cauOed some damage, both before and after
reaping and after while in shock. Harvest
ing is still progressing in Illinois, Indiana
and Ohio under fairly favorable conditions,
though scattering reports of rain and rust
are made, but not such as to indicate any
widespread damage. Rains prevailed over
al outlook for spring wheat greatly and ap
parently insuring an average yield. The
situation in Minnesota has not materially
improved. In several sections, the reports
state that fully ope-fourth to one-haf of
the entire spring wheat and oats crops have
been ruined by the drouth, and to the fact
that the rains came. The need of rain in
Iowa and Nebraska is reported in many
counties. In Iowa the necessity of rain has
been very pressing, and the prospective
yield of wheat and oats has already been
lessened Is to 20 per cent. The corn pros
poets continue very promising in both the
northwest and the southwest states.

DR.. v. G. Vaughn, of Ann Arbor, Mich, in
examining q specimen of the ice cream
which recently poisoned a number of per.
sons at Newton, that state, made the impor.
tant discovery that tyrotoricon, active ele.
ment in poisonous cream, which he discov.
cred some time since, was also present in
the ice cream, and was the cause of the sick
ness. This proves that tyrotoricon is due to
the composition of milk, and may be devel-
oped in any milk which is kept in an impure
atmosphere or unclean vessels. The germ
multiplies very rapidly, and a small amount
of tainted milk will poison whole can.

that he was possessed of but moderate
means, but after his death it was discovere'
that he had left will, bequeathing $4,000
to two daughters in France. In his last
writings he says that his name was Count de
Chatelbres Dulze, with which name he had
signed the will. He left request of Mar

COLES BIG SHOW COMING
Reinforced with DR.. w. F. Carver's
"Wild West" Combination.

w, w. Cole, whose fame as an amusement
purveyor is as wide as the continent itself, has
perfected all necessary arrangements for the
appearance Of his great tented aggregation in
Caldwell, Wednesday, September 18th 1886.
Mr.. Cole has long been held in high esteem in
this community as progressive, liberal man.
agcr, and, as his organization for this season is
generally regarded as his most notable amuse-
ment undertaking, the indications point 10
gratifying financial results on the occasion Of
his approaching visit MIR. Cole is said to be
animated by the sentiment that ''circus chest
nuts must 60" and, with that laudable pur-
pose in view, he brought all his tremendous
resources of wealth, energy and artistic judge
ment into requsition in procuring his arenic
attractions for the present tour. The importa-
tons of European artists have been very ex-
tensive, while the best Of American performers
have been enlisted under the Cole banner.
We are creditably informed that there is not
''passe" performance among the seventy dis
tinct acts Of the deliberately varied programme
but that every attraction possesses the charm
Of novelty. One of Mr.. Coles just added fea-
lures is complete reproduction of the hippo
drome carnyals Of ancient Rome. These IA
ces are given with startling realism that has
hitherto been unattained in modern times.
Forty English and Kentucky thoroughbred
running horses, riden and driven by profess
sional jockeys and drivers, contest for suprem
acy on Manager Coles vcritable race track,
which is pronounced by good judges to be the
longest race course ever seen under canvass in
this country. Another striking innovation is
the presentation of stirring pictures of frontier
life by DEW. F. Carver's famous Wild
West combination. Prominently appearing
with DIR. Carver in his mimic scenes Of the ro-
mantle West-which are produced on the
great hippodrome track-are 100 noted scouts,
cowboys, Indians and Mexican yaqueros.
Coles coming will be awaited with no little
eagerncss in this vicinity.
