For more than twenty-five years
liquor was free In Ohio as water.
Taxpayers went down in their
pockets and paid all damages Of the
traffic under plea that IL was uncon-
stltutlOnal to tax saloons, and use
the money for q good purpose. But
n time arrived when taxpayers re-
belled and the constitution was
amended and a liquor law enacted.
a detailed statement Of the working
Of this law has just been put forth
by the Local Option League Of the
State. It is shown that zoos saloons
have been closed by the saloon tax
provision; that 5l7salOons have been
closed by town councils under the
popular vote; that 300 towns in the
State have adopted local option and
suppressed the liquor traffic to a
greater or less extent, and that near
ly 5000, 900 Of license revenue has
been collected. The law levies a tax
Of 800 upon regular saloons and 800
upon those where beer alone Is sold,
and by local option any community
can regulate, restrain, or prohibit
the traffic as best suits the inhabi-
tants. Il has already accomplished
much for temperance and relieved
taxpayers Of heavy burdened.

At Knightstown. Ind. Monday morning
about 2 o'clock, the frame dwelling Of n.
P. Wade, occupied by Mrs. Sarah Hog
gins, his mother, and Mrs. Martha Cate,
situated north of the railroad. was discov-
cred on fire. After breaking open the door
Wade was found unconscious at his MOTH
er's bed. lie was taken out, but died in a
few moments. His mother was dead before
taken out. Mrs. Cate was not found until
her limbs aud arms were burned of, and
she died in u short time. A shoe knife
covered with blood and Il bottle Of paris
green were taken from Wade's pockets,
and the indications are that he murdered
the two women and then committed sui
eide, the testimony before the coroner
tending to substantiate this theory.
Mrs. Cate was the widow of a soldier and
resided with Mrs. Hoggins. who had
reared her from q child. In 1876 Mrs.
Cate was granted S1,40O arrearage of pen.

A PERSON born on the 7th of Novem-
her, 1867, becomes twenty-one years of
age on the 9th of November, 1883.
There are no fractions of days in law
except in cases of executions, liens.
ETC., and a person born any time be-
tween midnight and midnight on tho
eth of November, 1867, will be, in law,
twenty-one years of age at midnight of
the morning of Nov. 6, 1888, and, if a
male citizen, can vote on age at the
election on that day. This question is
raised every year by more or less
voters, and it has been uniformly de-
cided that a person becomes twenty-one
years of age on the last day of the
twenty-one years after the date of birth.
Ii there were fractions of days in law
the case would be different, but there
are none except in cases specially pro-
vided by statute. A promissory note
dated Nov. q, and payable three months
after date, would become due on the
9th, exclusive of the three days grace,
because it is made payable three
months after date. If the Constitution
provided that male citizens should vote
t%wenty-one years after their birth, the
case would be different; but it provides
that they shall vote when they attain
the age of twenty-one years, and that
makes them of legal age on the day he.
fore the date of their birth.

these is the Diamond Lanciers, in
which the couples dancing form q

adopted is the "Glide Mazourka." This

1t has been ascertainedthat Sarah Althea
Terry's illness last week was due to con-
tinemcnt. and that she gave birth toa dead
child in the Alameda county Jail, where she
had been imprisoned with her husband for
more than n month. This afternoon she
received her friends and in discussing her
illness she declared with much feeling that
United Estates Marshal Franks was tho
murderer of her child and that Justice
Field was his accessory in crime. She de-
clared she had not felt we'll since Franks
injured her by his rude handling when re-
moving her from the courtroom. When
she leaves the Jail she will probably be ar

in the history of the world that one country

DIR. H. S. TANNER, who became fam.
Gus about eight years ago by fasting
forty days in Clarendon Hall, New
York City, arrived in Chicago the othe,
day from New Mexico. He is appar-
emily in perfect health, and his girtli
is such MS to suggest anything except
abstinence from food. AEont thu last
words from the Doctor previous to his
arrival in Chicago were that he was in
New Mexico, living upon a purely veg
ctablc diet. At present he eats two
meals a day in summer and one meul a
day i'll winter. In an interview he said
that he had been in Mexico for fou,
years pursuing Investigations into the
subject of suspended animation, or
counterfeit death. He is convinced
that large numbers are annually buried
alive all over the world, and, from his
study of various eases, and the records
of societies on the subject, in Holland
and elsewhere, lie is convinced that so
subtle is the principle of life that no
IL can undertake to say that it is cx-
tinct until decomposition-the only
sure sign-has set III. He declares
that the dead in this country are buried
with indecent, with criminal haste. and
that burials of persons who are not
absolutely dead are murders. The
Doctor is also pursuing another branch
of suspended animation, viz: Hiber-
nation. He declares thai bears and
other alternating animals do not use
their lungs during the alternating
season, and lie is convinced that man
can hibernate. He refers to the long
frances of the Hindoo adopts, accom-
plishcd through long seasons of fast
ing. and declares it to he his belief
that these frances are merely seasons
of Information. The Doctor saws lie is
studying with n view to making some
experiments in this line, and that the
time may come when he will permit
himself to he sealed mp in an air-tight
coffin and laid away until such time as
he shall designate for it to be opened.

forbade the young women students in
the Ottawa Normal School even to rec
ognize the young men students on the
streets we're relaxed, and the two sexes
who were being coeducated were per-
mitted to become friends, and the young
men were allowed to call upon the
young women in the evening and keep
company with them. This year there
has not been a single honor student,
and the authorities think this is owing
to their having yielded to the dictates
