SPRUCE, No, Sept. %, 1888.
One of the most pleasurable and
enthusiastic rallies of the season oc-
ourred in Deepwater township on
last Thursday evening. Pursuant to
a previous call, the Cleveland and
Thurman club, numbering about S5
members, met at Spruce for the
purpose of perfecting arrangements
to participate in the grand rally at
Butler on the 9th inst. On arriving
there an invitation was found await
ing them from our next representa-
tive, Hon. J. B. Newberry, to come
in a body to his place of residence,
as he was in need of assistance in
tapping keg of cider. Business
was at once postponed, one of Bates
county's finest string bands called
together, when the Capt. called ITO
horse.' and with the band at their
head, drew rein in an incredible
short time in front of Mr.. Newberry's
commodious residence.
The host Immediately made a
smiling appearance, when the club
gave three hearty cheers for the Hon.
J. B. Newberry. The guests were
made welcome, time spent in social
converse, when music was proposed.
The band, consisting of Prof. Drake
of Johnstown, Messrs. Murphy, Slay-
back and Son of Spruce, with piano
accompaniment by the hosts charm
ing daughters, was fine enough to
charm the most fastidious ear. It's
appreciation was demonstrated by
the delight depicted on every coun-
tenance during the rendering of
their own selections, and the imme-
date demand for some favorite piece
of some one present if there was the
least sign of cessation. The bring.
ing in of cider and apples finally
hushed the music, and although the
former was neither hard nor spiked
it was of an excellent quality, and
disappeared rapidly. But the rally
reached its climax when the doors

Justices, rees in criminal cases.

The Court of Errors and Appeals decid-
ed last June hat it was lawful for JUS
tices of the Peace to ask aud receive but
not to demand fees from compliments in
criminal cases, the law providing that
when they collected the foes from the
county they must refund to the compl ain
ant what he had paid. Governor Green
has approved an act of the late Legis-
lature which changes the law materially.
1t expressly enacts that mo Justice of
the Peace shall ask, demand or reeeice any
fees from any complainant in any crimi-
nal case The law is that in case of an
indictment the Justice shall receive his
fees from the County Collector. If no in
dictment is found the presumption is that
no warrant ought to have been issued
Any complainant who is required by the
Justice to pay fees for taking or issuing a
warrant may sue the Justice in the Dis
trict Court for the money he has paid and
may have him arrested for extortion be-
sides. II the complainant has a just cause
for complaint the Recorder or any respect
able Justice of the Peace will issue a war
rant in the case without any fees being
paid in advance, for the county will pay
all the expenses IN the case.

Our Letter BoX.
E,mer,s work for No-L.ieense.

The following are the names OF the
signers to the application for license in
Elmer. presented to the court at the May
term in Salem:
Robert Ira Reeves,
Casper Peffefer, Christopher sewers,
Edward Riggs. Jonathan -. May,
a. p, uitchner. Timothy II. Conoyer,
Chas. p. Walker, samuel Henry,
Enoch harrison, Harmon Mlltsee,
George McQuilton, Jonn W Hitchhei,
Chas. II. Hitchner, Benz. Timbefman.
The Law and Order Society of Elmer
offered a remonstrance containing the
names of about 100 voters. OF these wen
ty-one were business men, being about
two-thirds of the business men OF the
place. The names of the professional men
Of the town, with a single exception, were
on the paper, and also the names of l32
ladies-232 in all,-all of age and all in
terestcd in the prosperity of the town.
There was legal counsel on both sides.
The counsel against license made a strong
argument. showing that the law aeknowl-
edged the right of the inhabitants of a
community to be heard in requiring twelve
men TO sign an application for license.
That they were required to be frecholders
proved a design that the applicants should
be permanent inhabitants. If twelve
should be heard in favor, why not one
hundred against? The place was not need
ed for the entertainment of travellers as
there was already ample accommodation at
several houses in the place. Counsel for
tile applicant did not claim that there
were more than three a day. ON an aver
age, requiring entertainment in the place.
The only argument that he brought against
those who opposed the license was that
they were possessed of a conscience. They
signed the remonstrance because they were
conscientiously opposed to TIE sale and
use of rum.
The court before whom these arguments
were brought were Judges Reed, Wood,
Plummer and Hitchncr. The two hum
dred and t~hirty-two ladies and gentlemen
do not feel very highly eomplimented by
the decision of the court, in that sixteen, in
the estimation OF their ~''honors,' out
weighed them all. 1t is safe to say that

any sixteen of those who opposed the
license are equal in moral character to
those who signed the application, and
many times more property is represented
by them. They respectfully hold on to
their conscience, with a firm conviction
that a little of that article would be a good
thing for signers of applications for l~icerse,
lawyers and courts of Justice. Were not
the honorable gentlemen aware that if
those whom they licensed to sell rum made
a living at it, as they designed they should,
they would do it to the injury Of the com
munity, graduating men by respectable
tipping, for the low jug and beer saloons
that we are trying to destroy. This, gen.
tlemen, is too expensive a way to enter
tain three travellers a night. There could
be no way imagined that wouid make such
a draft on heart and purse as this. There
are boy sots hanging about the jug and
beer shops whose downfall wasthe licensed
