Brick Pemeroy's new paper, Adsaace
Thoughts loaded to the muzzle with ten-
perance bombs. In its prospe ctus II de-
clares for prohibition as natural right.
Appeal, al,argumeHt,regulatIon, and all other
political methods of dealing with the ag-
grcssive evil have failed. There Is one
remedy left, and we would apply 1t. That
remedy Is Prohibition" II says. "fd0asce
Thought, therefore, may from this time be
ciassed as a publication edited by pre-
nounced and admitted democrat, who will
contend for and help educate the people to
prohibition as public bencfacter. We
will now sec what can be said in favor
thereof, and invite any opponent of prohi-
bition to debate the other side of the ques-
tion." Wide-awake temperance folks will

Ia the death of ID. X. Locke NASH )the
temperance cause has lost one of It's most
brilliant advocates. His peculiar satiricaI
letters brought him popularity, but he was
also writer of muck literary ability in
other lines. For many years, as editor of
the Toledo Blade, he has cut keen blows
against the monster iniquity, his ralIying
cry being, "PuIverize the liquor traffic p
He also wrote poetry mostly devotional in
character. The following gem from his
pen is,we trust, an evidence of his humble
trust in our Divine Savior -
"ce ne unto Ne, all ys that are weary and heavy
laden, and win give you rest"
"Come unto me !" Oh invitation blest.
Rainbow OF promise In earth's mortal ekv
Oh blessed pledge TO wearied souls Of rest
Rest that ends only With etarnity.
"come unto me I" Though dreary be the path.
And thorn, and briars bar It all It's length !:
And storms spend on us all their bitter wrath.
That bow ofpromlse gives US steady strength.
"come unto me !" oh brightest, steSdiest star.
The Plying One set In Faiths ornament.
The weary soul, thought may seem afar,
Bathes In It's beams and finds its swset content.

MEXICAN CRUELTY


Ell PAsso, Tex, July 11.-[Special. There
is at present spirited controversy raging be-
tween the newspapers published in the state
of chihuahua on the subject of the extreme
cruelty alleged to be praetced by the customs
officers along the Rio Grande border against
poor and ignorant offenders against the Gus
toms regulations Of the Mexican republic.
These cruelties are not charged so much
against the officials connected with the main
office at Paso Del Norte, but against the
deputy collectors Of inferior stations between
that place and NogaleS, such as Ascension
Janos and similar places
The very indefinite southern boundary line
OF the iona Llbere or freeZOne, which ranges all
the way from twenty miles TO twenty leagues
III width, and the exact location of which is
seldom known to the poor and ignorant people
living in that section of the coGntry makes it
very easy for these people to become some-
times unwittngly transgressive i'll a small
way against the excessively severe customs
laws which are on every occasion enforced
with barbarous harShneSs against humble Of
tenders.
has aroused the ire of portion of the indie
pendent press, which is round in its condem-
nation. Several young men living in the
northwestern corner of chihuahua, bought
at some points within the free
zone two towels, two handkerchiefs, one pair
of shoes and one Woman's dress pattern, in all
worth not quite nine dollars which they in
tended for the use of their families living
somewhere near the southern line OF the free
zone, but of the exact location of which they
were ignorant. On their way home they were
met by some customhouse officials, who de-
tected the small bundle containing their pur-
chaSeS and marched them under arrest to Paso
del Norte, several hundred miles distant.
They were driven along like Russian exiles
to Siberia, and after lying in
loathsome dungeon for awhile
were sentenced to six months imprisonment,
ten years of police surveillance, and the confis-
cation of their horses, saddles and brides.
The Contineola of Paso Del Norte and other
liberal paper in the state stigmatize this as I'M
necessarily severe and barbarous, and protest
against it in spirited terms, while the Sinpar-
tial of the city Of chihuahua and other admin
istration organs, defend the customssofficers.
The thorough discussion of this matter, which
is now going on will probably bring about
much needed change,

A HORRIBLE STORY.
Great Suffering in Mexico by the Rece
Floods.

Great Suffering in Mexico by the Recent
Floods.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 11.-Late advices from
Leon, Mex. say of the principal scene of the
great food:
Masses of people are packed in Portfolios
stables and every available place of shelter,
averaging one person to less than square
yard of space, with piles of flag mating laid
on the ground for beds and a few miserable
rags for cover. All able-boded men have
been forced away to work by the government.
Rations of bread and meat are issued
and everything possible done to relieve the
suffering. Children up to twelve years ofage
are among these masses without a thread of
clothing and ut night are wrapped in what
ever rags the family have for covering. Any
thing whatever of food or clothing no matter
how poor, is received with extreme gratitude.
In view of the nature of the buildings in
volved they being constructed of adobe and
great number Of them which were destroyed,
it is still believed the bodies of many hundred
people are in the ruins. Some 800 were recov-
cred, but the stencil was so great that further
search was abandoned

But betwixt his house and the hills bullded a
And the name thereof set in the stonework over

With carving OF bats and apes, ana called 1t The

And the front was alive with masks of malice ana
of despair,
Horned demons that leered in stone and women
with serpent hair
That whenever his glance would rest on the soft

pierce him through.
And said, 81 win dwell herein, for beholding my

THE INDIGNANT MOTHER
Makes an Effort to Avenge a Daughters
Grievance.

DANIELsvILLE,Ga., uly7.-[Special.l- THE
people of this county were shocked at the re-
port of a horrible crime committed in the up
per part of the county on Monday last. One
Francis Streetman, young white man, was
hired to Mr.. Gus Allen and had been working
there this year. On Monday Mr.. Aliens little
daughter, about nine or ten years of age,
was passing over to near neighbours, and
Streetman, seeing the little girl crossing the
field, stepped into an old house, pretending to
hunt plow, and called the little girl in to
help find the plow. When she had entered
the house Streetman grabbed her and assaulted
her. After the villain released his victim she
returned home and told her mother what had
happened, her father being absent. Mrs. Allen
gave no alarm, but waited till Streetman came
to dinner, when to avenge her daughters in
juries the mother grabbed a shotgun, and
would in an instant have put out the life of
the fend had not Mr. John Freeman forced
the gun from its aim, doubtless being ignorant
of what had taken place. Streetman, seeing
his crime was found out, skipped and has not
been seen since. When Mr.. Allen got home
and learned what had been done, q warrant
was taken out and the officers of the law put
after Streetman, but without success.
The little girl is badly abused, and if Street
man is caught the court will in all probability
not be bothered with trying him.

Battle of Rising Sun.

NEW ORLEANS, July GA Yazoo City.
Miss, special says, relative to the bloody ARRAY
at Rising Sun, Leftore county, on Saturday
night: The latest information places S. H.
Ivey and Sam Austin as dead, Henry MoCarty
with five bullet holes through him and Ben
McCarty and S. Ii. Witworth as wounded,
though not seriously. The sheriff has arrested
Whitwoith, Hopkins and Mclean, the three
principals in the shooting on the Whitworth
side, and has taken them to Greenwood.
Serious trouble is feared. The Whitworth
party, it seems, did the principal shooting, as
the dead and the wounded belong chiefly to
the McCarty side. There was bad blood be-
tween Whitworth and Henry McCarty, and
there had been trouble between Whitworth
and IYeY.

SHUTTING UP SHOP.
Iowa Liquor Dealers Tired of Fighting the
Prohibition Law.

more than ordinary Importance and involving
new point under the prohibitory liquor law
OF Iowa has teen rendered by Judge Phelps, of
the district court. Two years ago a saloon
keeper. whose place of business was enioined
as q nuisance, appealed to the iowa supreme
court, and after fling supersedeas bond, con-
tinued the traffic. The injunction was sus-
tanned, and the saloon keeper again gave bond,
carried his case to the United States supreme
court, where 1T is not likely to be reached for
brought to have him arrested ana fined for
contempt of court in continuing the illegal
traffic, Notwithstanding the injunction His
defense was that pending the decision of the
the district court now decides that the iniunc-
ton must stand and the saloon must close.
The saloon keeper at once closed up and others
will follow suit, as they admit that further
resistance to the law is useless.
