Some one who is not q careful
reader of the FREE PRESS recently sent
us through the postoffice a clipping
of the impressive sentence passed by
Judge Hubbard, of Iowa, on liquor
dealers for violating the prohibitory
laws of that state. We published it
some time previous, and deem it un-
necessary to republish. The FREE
Press misses but few good things of
that character.

propriately comments on the impor-
lance of properly enforcing our Grim
inal laws:
But while we talk of protecting the
unfortunate prisoners, we should re-
member the unfortunate public.
Drunken impulse and emotional in
sanity are but poor explanations for
the manned citizen, or the represent
atives of the murdered father Of a
family, or the parents and relatives of
a young girl shot down by the cruel
and selfish lover-a thing which has
become quite common of recent years.
Give to the accused all the resources
Of defense; to the convicted, such
chances of review as humanity may
dictate; but to the people, the secur-
ity which only speedy justice can in

tested to last evening by the celebration
Of its Rtth anniversary that took place on
the grounds Of the State Fair AssoCla.

the form OF moonlight tete, preceded in
the afternoon by q picnic more especially
for the benefit Of the ladies and children,
They had good time romping about
under the trees aud listening to the music
Of the Opera House band, There was
also an exciting game Of football between
the youngsters" and sold Men" in
which the latter were most ingloriously
defeated.
at supper time we'll filed lunch baskets
were pulled out, and those that did not
have baskets made q raid on the re.
freshment stand. Soon after the real
crowd commenced to put In an appear
ance, The committee having the matter
In charge began to hang up In the trees
innumerable Chinese lanterns, the brill
liant ColoTs OF which combined with the
strong light iromthe numerous headlights
and gasoline laups lighted up the orchard
where the .tste was held, in most charm
Ing manner, The fireworks were in
charge Of DR., Booking, who kept red fire
burning and rockets, Roman candles and
monster wheels going OF nearly all the
time, In the afternoon two balloons were
also sent up, and two were sent up alter
dark,
OF course the dancing platform was the
great objective point Tor the majority,
Here old and young kept time joyously
to the music OF the Opera House orchestra,
while,iE the intervals there was promenade
music furnished by the band, AT Q
o'clock, when the celebration was at its
heighth, the scene was o gay one. Iu adj
dition to nearly sill the members OF the
Society and their families being present
there were noticed ia the crowd q large
number Of Americans and their families
Those that did not dance or promenade
devoted themselves to ice cream and other
refreshments as they watched the moving
throng and the fireworks.
The singing section sang two or three
selections during the evening and there
was q grand march, headed by the band
in which about two hundred armed with
red fire sticks took part, During the
march the scene was beautiful one, the
red glare Of tho sticks lighting up every
