latter place, removed on account of his
prohibition principles. The petition was
Of the dark lantern order, and although
rumor Of its existance was circulated no
action on the matter was taken by his con-
Rregation until last week. Father Hare
laid the matter before the church and
asked if there were any objections to his
continuing as their pastor. The persons
who were at the bottom of the attempt to
Gust him made themselves scarce, and the
result was that the congregation Endorsed
his every action in his fight against the

A Boys Suicide.

Near the town of Rahey, just twelve
miles from the scene of the Bailey Wilson
tragedy in Charles Mix county, on the 9th
inst, was the scene of another tragedy.
Charles Getty, the 17-year-old son of c.
A. Getty, hung himself with halter in a
cow-shed. He had been assisting his faith
er pillow corn during the forenoon and came
to the house at noon and put the team i'll
the barn, went to the house and ate his
dinner. After dinner his father told him
to go to the barn and feed the horses. Not
returning for some time, younger son,
about years old, was sent to the barn af-
ter him. Not finding him in the barn the
boy went round to the shed and there found
him hanging with the halter strap tied
around his neck and the headstall buckled
around rafter above. A small box was
standing near, and it is supposed that he
had stood on this box and tied the halter
around his neck and deliberately stepped
of. No cause can be assigned for this
rash act, as Charley was known to be an
exemplary boy both at home and in school.
