All the perishablc stock, such as po-

The boys soon got together,
organized. aud decided to give
AMY some music. After they
had rendered several selections
Andy appeared on the porch and
delivered u short speech, in which
he said great many things which
do not appear in the Bible. The
bows then gave another musical
selection on their tin pans and
dilapidated boilers. whereupon
Andy appeared for the second time
and declared himself ''too chilly to
put up the price. The boys then
buttoned their coats tight on
account of the cold wave. Again
the music was started, ana some
unknown person went up on the
roof of the house and blocked up
both chimneys with old clothes,

became nervous on account OF the
smoke in the house. He attempted
to climb upon the roof himself

chimneys, but fate was against
him and he came down like q

later he remarked that he did not
mind the fall as much as stopping
so sudden when he reached the

time being, but the boys say they
are not discouraged, and vii

What War Means.

The Chicago Record s Washing
ton correspondent says: The war
between Greece and Turkey means
much more than appears in the news
paper dispatches, and, in the opinion
of the wisest diplomatiSts, it will
end with the dismemberment OF the
Turkish empire. Russia has for
years been trying to involve Turkey
in hostilities in order that she might
have an excuse to conquer and an
mex the sultan S dominions, and that
purpose is so well known in Europe
that the Christian powers have de-
clined to interfere forcibly in Turk
lsh affairs, because they knew that
sooner or later such interference
would involve them with Russia.
The agents of the car provoked the
massacre of the Armenians with the
hope and expectation that England,
Germany and other nations would
intervene. When they refused to dc
SO the naSSacrcs ceased and Russian
intrigue sought another field OF ac-
tion, which was found among the
discontented Cretans. The fighting
Greeks and Turks must make bat
tleground of their own provinces,
which are notoriously disloyal, and
are surrounded by nations whose
sympathies are entirely with their
enemies, and the sultan knows very
well that the big pawof the Russian
bear is likely to fall upon him at any
moment.

BONDS OF SALOON MEN.
An Important Decision Handed
Down by the Supreme Court.

The Judges of the supreme court
last Saturday materially disagreed
in deciding an important liquor case,
the prevailing opinion being written
by Justice Hooker and signed by
Justices Moore and Grant. Justices
Montgomery and Long united in a
dissenting opinion.
The case came from Grand Rapids.
Fred Saunders, a saloonkeeper, was
arrested for selling liquor illegally,
the legality of his bond being at
tackled on the ground that one of
the sureties was upon more than
two other bonds, contrary to the
provisions of the liquor law 1t was
shown, however, that the bond, al
though illegal. had been approved
by the common council, and for this
reason Judge Burlingame quashed
the information. The prosecuting
attorney applied to the supreme
court lor u writ of mandamus to
compel the circuit judge TO set aside
his order and relnstate the case.
The question presented was whether
a bond approved by the common
council OF a city or village was IN all
cases protection or whether the
party giving to- bond must see to it
at his peril that the bondsmen have
the qualifications fixed by statute.
The prevailing opinion by Justice
Hooker. holds that it was the inten-
tion of the Legislature to require Il
person engaging in the liquor bust
ness to accept the responsibility of
knowing that his bond is legal one,
( the sutiiciency OF the bond as to the
amount and the responsibility OF the
sureties only to be determined by
the council.
"A person giving a defective
( bond, the opinion says, 'as CON
f, tradistinguisncd from one that is in
! sufficient, cannot shelter himself be-
hind an approval by the board,
whether such approval be the result
of incompetency, carelessness. mis-
take, fraud or collusion.
1t is said that in the nature of
things it is as easy for the person
giving the bond to ascertain whether
F., the proposed sureties are eligible as
I for the board to do so, and if this is
( understood the law practically en-
forces itself. The trial judge was
lorlcred to reinstate The case and
Saunders must stand trial.
Justice Montgomery, in his dis
senting opinion, says that the ques
ton is whether one in good faith
tenders bond in proper form. and
who, after having such bond APP
proved 10y the common council, en-
| grges in the business of selling
| liquor, is liable to criminal prosecu-
ton. He thinks not. The constitu-
tionality of the law prohibiting the
acceptance of the same surety on
more than two bonds is upheld

rushed into Issaquena county, Miss.
The adjacent counties of Sharkey

today's crevasse, it is believed, will
not materially affect the situation
in that vicinity. No new breaks are
