Hard Lines for saloon-Keepers.

KANSAS CRY, May 23.-Judge Field. of
the circuit court, rendered very import
ant decision today, based on the dramshop
act of 1889. The case is the injunction
proceeding brought by adjoining property
owners to close saloon. The judge made
permanent injunction restraining the
saloon-keeper from conducting dramshop
business, and the county and city licenses
held by him were declared void on several
grounds, among them being failure in
securing petition for license signed by
majority of the citizens living in the block
in which the saloon was located, and
failure to idemnify the city and county
against selling liquor to habitual drunk
ards, permitting gambling, etc. An appeal
was taken. If the decision is sustained
every saloon in the city will be affected
and every saloon license void.

The Baptist duplication Society.

CINCINNATI, May 23.-The American
Baptist Publication Society continued its
sixty-seventh anniversary meeting today.
A portion of the morning session was
given to publication, and number of adj
dresses were made on the subject. A re-
cess was taken and the members of the So
ciety went to the Central Union railroad
station, where special services were held
in the new ''chapel car" presented to the
secretary. This car will be used for dis
tributing literature, as well as a place to
hold meetings.
The programme for the afternoon en-
braced the young peoples movement.
Rev. ID ID. McLawrin, of New York. spoke
on the origin and progress of the move
ment. Rev. DR.. Wilkins, of Iowa, filled
the next half hour with an address on the
organization. Nebraska, Iowa, Michigan.
Kansas and Oregon have already organ
lied state assemblies. Everything points
to Chicago July meeting if they should
organize as Baptists. II Is now but a
question of methods. Here there is need
of unitcation. There are 5000 organi-
cations, and there should be $4,000
more. Five common principles were
urgent: Prayer meeting and the
confession of Christ; dependence
on the church; membership of baptized
believers; school for young converts,
and utilization with others only on an
evangelical basis. Rev. DR.. Armitage, of
New York; Rev. b. G. Maynard. of Ar
kansas; ]. II. Chapman. of Illinois; Rev.
l.. c. Williams, of Pennsylvania; Mr.. J..
o. Staples, of Illinois. and Rev. Alexander
Blackburn. of Lowell, also spoke. The
latter gentleman emphasized the idea of
utilizing the young people not as a separ-
ate church power, but as a power latent
within the church for larger effectiveness
in directions and departments.
A: the evening session more addresses
were delivered on the development of
young peoples societies, and after the
adoption of resolutions of thanks to Gin
cinnati, the Baptists, press. ETC., the So
ciety adjourned sine die.

vice on the Navajo reservation bring re-
