Rain and sieet have fallen here ali

serted.
A special to the State Journal from
Lima tells of conditions existing there,
saying:
The seyerest storm in years has pre-
vailed here to-day, doing many thous-
ands of dollars worth of damage to tel
egraph, telephone and electric light
companies. Poles have given way I'M

hundreds of wires are down and crossed
so as to make them useless and dan
gerous. The city is in darkness to-
night. Trains on all roads are late,
and a raar-end collision between Gin
cinnati, Hamilton and Daytons trains
resulted on account Of the binding
storm.
Another special from Findlay says:

MED by winds of almost gale velocity.
Shortly before midnight there was a
clear sky. At its maximum the wind
blew ~ miles an hour. Telegraph
wires from this city south We're rem
dered almost useless on account of the
heavy winds. Tree, swinging signs,
and chimneys were blown down, but no
great damage is known to have re-
suited.
A few dispatches received at the mar
thine exchange told of a very heavy
northeaster prevailing at the Delaware
Breakwater and at other points along
the South New Jersey coast. At many
points the tide rose to the highest
point it has reached in years. No dis
asters to vessels have yet been re-
ported.
At Atlantic City, great damage was
caused to wires and the city is in COM
parative darkness tonight
Several private residences in the
Meadows were completely surrounded

boats in going to and from the build
ings.
Reports from Eastern Pennsylvania
indicate the prevalence OF heavy winds

CAUGHT IN THE ACT.

Charleston Gazette
The Chairman of the Republican State
Committee having been caught in the act,
in the case of Mr.. Pritchard, of Marion,
comes out with much blavado as to what
he Will do in case any Democrat tries to
purloin the Legislature. He talks like
a prize fighter whose most dangerous
weapon usually is his jaw.
Capt. Pritchard, being an honorable
man, refused to be made tool of by the
above functionary is his efforts to steal
the Legislature from the Democrats. who
have an honestly acquired majority.
1t is humiliating to see the Governor Of
the State prostituting the high office en-
trusted to him by the people, in an en-
deavor to force a defeated Republican
candidate for the House Of Delegates to
join in an effort to steal a seat in the
Legislature. He ought to think more OF
the office, even if he is careless of his
own reputation.

A Denial of the Rumor About the Chicago
& Alton Sale.
st. Louis, December 4.-The Repub~
lie tomorrow will say:
John K. Mitchell, one of the largest
stockholders in the Chicago & Alton
railroad, denies that there is an option
on that railroad, or that it has been
sold. In this respect, he says:
There is not a word of truth in it,
at least, so far as l know, and il there
were would know it, By that ! mean,
if the controlling interests of the Al
ton road had passed into new hands l
would be promptly informed of it. The
controlling interest is for sale, OF
course, if any one will pay the price
asked
HAS there ever been bid for the
controlling interest?'
Eyes, there was, but it was not a
satisfactory one. AS l said before, the
stock is for sale if we are paid what
we want for it. The bid was made to
the Illinois Trust, with which my
nephew is connected. If any deal was
made at present it would be through
that company, but up to Saturday night
there was none"
Did the Kansas City and Pittsburg
people, through President Stiiwell,
meet the bid?"
NO. said Mr.. Stilwell, impatiently;
there never was anything in that

New York. December 1.-The Nova
Scotian schooner Walleda arrived to-
day from Gonavies and reports that
during the height of the hurricane on
November %, in latitude 1922, longi-
tude 1890, she sighted a dismantled
schooner of about 700 tons, flying sig
mails of distress. 1t was nearly dark at
the time and her crew could be seen
on the decks gesticulating frantically
for assistance. The Walleda bore
down on the stranger and got close I'M
der her lee and hailed her. They
shouted that the vessel was sinking,
and asked to be taken of.
Capt Kemp told them that his boats
were stove and useless. They said
they would come to the Walleda in
their own boats. During this time the
Walleda laid to, but found that she was
rapidly drifting to leeward, then went
about on the other tack and again
drifted down to leeward position. The
Walleda hailed again, but got no ans
wer In the meantime another three
masted schooner come to her assist
ance and assumed a position to the
windward of the wreck. Both of them
stood by until daylight. When morn
ing broke the wreck was seen to be de-
serted and the boats gone. 1t is sup
posed that the unfortunate men had
attempted to launch their boats dur
ing the night, which capsized and all
hands were lost.

Neal Dow.

Portland was the home of Neal Dow from
his birth in 1904. His first public appear
ance as an ad vocate of prohibition was in
1899, when he induced the city's board of
aldermen to refer the question of license OF
no-llcense to vote of the people. 1t was
defeated, but in 1912 the same question wa,
submitted to vote and there was a Ma jor
ity of 40 for no-cense. For the next few
years Mr.. Dow worked steadily. He print
| ed and circulated temperance literature al
his own expense, and freque ntly spoke upor
the subject, He presented several bills tC
the legislature which We're lost either in the
House or in the Senate.
In 1851 he was elected Mayor of Portland
and though he enforced the law and spilled
50 600 worth of liquor, he WAS reelected. The
same year he secured the passage of prohib
itory law. This was repealed in 1856, but Mr.
Dow secured its re-enactment with increas-
ed restrictions. He was active during the
war, recruiting regiment, and in 1862 was
made Brigader General by President Lin
coin.
In 1880 he received 10 366 votes for Cover
nor as the candidate of the Prohibition Party.
Three times he crossed the ocean, delivering
temperance lectures in all parts of the King
dom urder the auspices of the United King
dom Alliance. Having naturally strong con-
sttution. and aided by right living, the de-
cay OF the body gradual, while the men
tai faculties We're keen to the last, and his
interest in temperance work was active as
ever. He fell asleep Oct 9. 1897, leaving

life, and heaven becomes the gamer of a

NEAL DOW AND FRANCES WILLARD.


Again the anniversary of the great leader
of prohibition approaches, and this year it
brings additional element of sadness in
the recent loss of another great leader,
Frances Willard. Neal Dow was called the
Father of Prohibition and well did he de-
serve the title. 1t was his heart that in
spred, his brain that planned and his i'll
domitable energy that pushed the work for
fallen man until his name has become syn
onym for prohibition throughout the world.
Like Moses he led his followers through the
wilderness; he saw the promised land, but
did not live to his people in full pos
session of that for which he and they had so
long labored.
So, also, was Frances Willard leader of
her people. For many years she was the
head of great organization whose motto is
FOR God and home and every land Her
| work was not directed towards one line OF
reform but included every avenue for help
| ing the poor and needy as well as saving the
young from lives of sin and the drunkard
from his appetite. One of Miss Wizards
last official acts as President of the National
), W. G. 7. U. was to issue call for the OBJ
servance of Neal Dow's birthday. What
more fitting than that her memory be hon
ored in the same memorial? Let all unite to
honor the two great leaders.

THE "MAINE LAW"

The beginning of the prohibition move
ment was some time previous to 1910, and
was started by James Appleton Of Portland
who was member of the State Legislature
in 1887. Appleton's policy was not adopted
until 1916 and lacked the important clause
of search and seizure" The veteran Neal
Dow, by untiring effort. secured the inser-
ton of this clause in 1851, and the law be-
came known as the "Mape Law" Five
years later this was repealed by hostile
legislature and stringent license law sub
stituted. In 1858 prohibition was submitted
to popular vote, which resulted as follows
2S,S6+ for 1912 against. Prohibition when
submitted to the people for embodiment in
the State Constitution, in 1884, thirty years
after its birth, received 70,7S3 votes i'll its
favor, more than three times the mum Der
against it. Mrs. o. A. DICKEY,
