Did You Vote for This.

VALPARAISO. Ind, Jan. Al
bert Algner, twenty-five years old,
a farmer near Wanatah, was muir
dered, Saturday night by his broth
er, Henry Algner, eighteen years
old. Henry had been to Kankakee
river fishing, and came home intox-
icated, and began abusing his faith
er. The father attempted to put
him out of the house, but finding
himself unable to do so, called on
his son Albert, and he was finally
put out. Albert returned to the
house for Henry's coat and hat, and
as he came out of the door was
struck by Henry on the temple with
a club, fracturing his skull. He
died late last night. The murderer
roams the adjacent woods in an al
most demented condition.

The Nicholson Law.

There are five hundred licensed
saloons in Marion county, and we
will wager that not one out OF fifty
have made expenses since the Mich
olson law was passed, while every
brewery has made more money and
sold less beer.-Our Standard.
II wanted to speak in favor OF
the Nicholson law, | would do bet
ter than the above or keep still. The
five hundred saloons of Marion
county are mHking a living or they
would close up. If the city coun-
ell would only bestir itself and give
the poor men steady employment
at good pay the saloons would make
more money. 1t is a shame to be-
stow special favors on five hundred
men and then try to starve them
out. The thought, enforcement of
law, is good-that seemed to be in
the mind of Nicholson-but he did
not go on little farther and con-
slider about the enforcement of a
wicked law. such as all license laws
are by "Church resolutions authori-
ty" and Il at the law is for class Of
lawless men having been granted
special privelages.
The town that has no saloon has
an aroused sentiment against the
saloon. Nicholson law did not
make the sentiment. 1t does per
haps turn on the light in a peculiar
sense, so that an occasional voter
can see the farce as it is-he can
see hsw funny il looks to see a man
demonstrating against the measure
be voted tor, carried torch lights
for and hallowed himself hoarse
for, and he decides next time to re-
monstrate with his ballot.

Politics is the best remedy for a
weak gall. We knew man once
whose gall was but an elementary
organism, and was still in an EN-
bryotic state. He ran for office
three or four times and his gall
grew and developed until it was
the most gall in his country. 1t
was as vigorous as Sunday thirst
and as tough as a coyotes con
science. One day the man died Of
delirium tremens. Did his gall
die? No. His friends had to take
il out and kill it with club before
they could have the funeral. -

Seven Good Reasons.

During temperance campaign q
lawyer was discussing, with no little
show of learning, the clauses of the
proposed temperance law, says The
Presbyterian Review. An old farm
er, who had been listening attentive

said:

law, but I've got seven good reasons
for votin for it,"
What are they?" asked the

NEW FAIR ASSOCIATION.
Could Not Agree on Settlement With
Creditors.

The new fair association, that
promised to put new life and renew
ed vigor into the annual fairs to be
held in this city couldn't agree on a
settlement with the creditors of the
Dubois County Agricultural Asso-
citation; and ty resolution at the
meeting last Saturday afternoon re-
solved to "break up the association
and adjourned sine die. A few of
the twenty subscribers to the articles
of association refused absolutely to
a payment of more than 30 per cent
in full settlement of the claims, and
as some of the creditors refused to
accept that amount the association
was dissolved. Now the question is
"What are you going to do about
it?n The annual fairs have certain
ly been of great benefit to the busi-
ness men of Huntingburg, the farm
ers of the vicinity as well as of the
entire county. No one will deny
that the fairgrounds ought to be re
tanned. The business interests Of
Huntingburg cannot afford to lose
them for the amount it will take to
effect a satisfactory settlement with
the creditors. The men who have
been working for months to devise
some way by which the unsecured
Indebtedness of the old association
could be satisfied without hurting
anyone, are perhaps at the end Of
their rope, and the whole question is
now no nearer settlement than it
was two years ago. II has fully
demonstrated the past two years
that BY an economical management
the fair will pay expenses. Indeed
the receipts Of the fairs have always
been adequate to pay expenses

A few years ago we called the at
tention of the public to the fact that
the young emperor Of Germany, on
his accession to the imperial throne,
had religious census taken of the
city of Berlin, in which he found
that only aboutlfve per cent. Of the
communica, Is OF the established
church could be housed in the
churches of that denomination on a
Sabbath day. He and his court
took alarm at this terrible destitu-
ton OF church accommodations, the
greater alarm because the churches
were scarcely half full, although
they were utterly inadequate to hold
D per cent. Of the church members.
He commenced Immediately cam
paign Of church building in erecting
chapels in the suburbs of the city,
to care for the working men and
their families, believing that it was
cheaper to house them in churches
than to have then in socialistic or
Ianarchistic clubs, or, as he express
ed it, cheaper to build churches
than prisons; cheaper tc save men
than to hang them. On a recent
occasion it is said that German
military officer uncovered his head
as the emperor and empress passed
| him, and sto I'd at attention. A
small boy touched him and said:
"Put on your hat, sir: put on your
hat. If the empress discovers that
bare spot she will clap chapel on
it," The humorous side may i'm
press the fact that the emperor and
empress were in search of every bare
spot in Berlin as a possible site for
a new church.-Current Literature.
