d. c. Cregier, the Mayor Of Chi
csgo, has taken one long step towards
enforcing decency and Observance OF
the Sabbath in that city. The saloon
doors will hereafter be closed and the
blinds drawn. That excellent paper,
the Daily Ne,os, backed by the senti-
meut of the better class of citizens
has waged a hot fight for nearly two
months duration to bring about thi'
reform, and is now enjoying the vic
tory II has In q great measure achiev
ed. The Ne,cs made the fight In the
belief "that men and women will b.
higher-minded, better morally, more
healthy, and better paid when the,
work, If all labor aud business cease
on Sundays than IL Sunday takes 1t
place among the secular days Of tn
week." The News labored earnestly
and without regard to the pecuniar,
loss II might sustain by Its action fol
the betterment of the people Of Chica
10, and pity 1t is that other grea
dailies do not do likewise.

Information comes from Wharton,
Texas, that while workmen were en-
gagged in digging an artesian wen
near thst place one day last week, q
very peculiar kind Of water was
struck at depth of about zoo feet
Il was found TO be cool and pleasant
to.take, the owner drinking glass
which lead the workmen to follow
suit. The popularity exists in the
effect II had upon them. In q very
short time after taking drink the
men were seized with a dizzy,twitch'
ing, intoxicated feeling about the face
which soon extended over the entire
body when they fell to the ground
rolling and writhing In a thorough
state of intoxication, and having nc
control over themselves whatever
This was followed by a drowsinesi
which soon resulted In a deep SLEEP
which lasted several hours. Or
awakening they experienced feeling
somewhat similar to that Of one hav
ing slept off drunk, with the ad
ldition of few neuralgia pains. L
this water continues to flow freel,
the "Texas distitllery" will be -
thing Of the past" and cold water ad
yocates can have their day.

Judge DeHaven, in recent charge
to Shelby county grand jury thus
centers the "idle" spot: "Idleness is
the greatest curse Of the age--from it
results so many of the crimes OF to-
day. Let the father keep his son in
employment or at school until he is
81 years of age, and I will be willing
to 20 that young mans security that
he would become au honest, upright,
truthful citizen. But at the age OF 10
give him all the spending money he
wishes, a shotgun and a pointer
dog. and the devil will have 8 mort
gage on him before he is 10"

AN IMPORTANT DOCUMENT.

Or. Rodman Opposes upon the San
ity of Jas. Hardesty, who is Serv-
ing Life Sentence for Murder.
The Greensboro Messenger says;
The deposition Of DIR. james Rodman'
OF Hopkinsville, which was recently
filed in the civil suit for damages Of
Mrs. Matilda f. Murphy against
James Hsrdesty for killing her hus-
band, has been read by the members
of the bar and the court officers and
has been the subject Of much conf
ment among them. DR.. Rodmsn was
examined by the defendants attorney
as an xpert on the insanity of the
defendant, which is the defense SCI
up in the civil suit, as in the crimi'
nal trial In which he was sentenced
to the penititentiary for life. DIR
Rodman scientifically describes thu
various types of insanity and gives
as his opinion that ION the supposi
ton of the truth of all the facts sta
ted as existing IN the case upto anc
at the time of the killing of Murphy
| 1 would say Hardesty was insane
My opinion is that he was Of unsoun'
mind" Had DIR. Rodman, who is
very high authority on insanity, beef
summoned as q witness in the Grim
inal prosecution, the result of tbs
trial might have deem different, bu
as Hardesty's case was reversed b.
the court Of appeals he may yet b.
called upon to testify.
