AT HoME.-George Corn and
Tom Wilson, of the horse"
regiment, are at home till the 18th
of Oct. on a furlough. Corn came
Saturday and was met a la-Hobson
at the X. X. station, while Wilson
did not get here till Sunday, and
was met by his brother Bob. He
had stayed behind to be with his
comrades at a banquet of the COM
pany Saturday night at Vincennes.
Corn preferred the Hobson welcome.
The boys brought their accoutre-
ments home with them, and look
real well in army toys. 1t is said
if the regiment should be ordered
into service when the furlough ex-
pires Col. Barnett will resign, on
account of the general dislike of the
privates for him, and consequent
danger. But it is to his credit that
his regiment was kept in good
health, and shows he knew how to
take care of soldiers-if he did
make one private ride a saw-horse,
and another "shine" his boots, and
confine another in the guard house
for exercising the constitutional
guarded right of petition. How
ever, Gov. Mount, not being able
to find competent republican il
Indiana to command the regiment,
went to Akron, Ohio, to get Col.
Barnett, and so the Col. did not
care for the effect on State politics
his treatment of the soldiers might
result in. But we ara all glad to
see the men come home sound and
hearty

Who is to Blame?

The question is often asked, "Why does not the
Prohibition make faster progress?' In an
swering this question Yankeefashon, the counter
query is made: ''Why do not Prohbitionists give it
more liberal financial support?' .. ...
And there is the question and answer in nutshell
Prohibitionists have plenty of money for churches
(which is right; they have plenty of money for odg
es benevolent societies and miscellaneous charities.
which is likewise right and proper. But when it
comes to supporting issue which has for it's OBJ
ject the outawry of traffic which is known every
where and all the time to be the foe of these instu
tions the generous hand stayed and the merest pit
lance dealt out not always with the best of grace
either.
Prohbitonists not parsimonious, as a rule. No
class of men called on to give with less hope for
personal returns. The fault is not of the heart but
rather of the head. They have not been educated
give Systematically. Spasmodic giving is unsatis-
factory, because it is unstable and uncertain. When
Prohibitionists give to the cause precisely they
give to their churches and lodges, the question of
finance will be settled and settled rght-New Jersey

A Sensible Coroner.

A coroner at Princeton, Ind, had to sit on the
of Louis Miller who, while drunk, was killed by the
cars The verdict follows:
ID find that at the time of his death said
Miller was in drunken condition, and attempt
ing to board said train while it in motion; that
his attempt to board said train due to his then
drunken condition; his said drunken condition was
caused by the drinking of drunk making liquors fur
nished by John Wirtz and Patrick Golden, both of
said Princeton-said Wirtz and said Golden each
maintaining and operating saloon for that purpose
at said city, by authority of the license laws of the
state of Indiana; that the responsibility for the
timely death of said Miller rests upon the citizens
of the state of Indiana who framed, and authorized
the framing of the said license laws.
What's the of telling the truth right out like
that?-Minneapolis Journal.

Bach Interest ut Utica Sold.

Announcement was made last
week by Manager Symmes of the
Power Mercantile Co. to the effect
that his company has aboutconclud-
ed a deal for the purchase of the en-
tire mercantile and real estate
interests of George Bach at Utica.
Some time last spring A. w. War;
and Others negotiated for the
purchase of the Bach interests but
the deal failed at the last moment.
The transfer to the Power Mercan-
tile Co. is, however, assured and Mr..
Symmes is now at Utica superintend-
ing the taking of inventory, at the
conclusion of which he will assume
possession for the Power Mercantile
Co. The transfer includes real
estate and improvements to the
value of about 81, 1000, and merchan-
$50, The company will be
organized and Incorporated as an
independent establishment, but for
some time, at least, will be under h
management OF MIR Symmes. Mr..
Bach will leave Utica with his
family, but of his future plans we
are not advised. The store was
started by Chas. Lehman & Co. nine
years ago, mt which time Mr.. Bach
was manager OF the Lehman store
in Lewistown. In 1893 Mr.. Bach
purchased the Utica branch and since
that day a not only greatly in
creased the quantity and variety OF
stock carried, but has built up a
business which has brought large
profits. Mr.. Symmes says the stock
will not only be kept up but %increas-
ed, the superior advantage of the
Power company for securing goods
enables them to place a better class
of goods before their customers with
out any increase in price. Mr..
Symmes will likely remain at Utica
ior a fortnight.
