In some of the States the casting of
the electoral vote was made quite a
function. Prayer was offered, and the
public admitted. This is as it should
be. For the four electors Of Vermont
to get together call alone by them
selves" in one OF the offices of the Cap
itol, without ceremony, and cast the
vote of the State, is hardly in keeping
with the dignity of the electoral college.
The meeting should have been in the

SALOON SMASHING.

JACKSONVILLE, Ind, Feb. lathe
women of this city, who have organiz-
ed a Carrie Nation club, attempted to
wipe out three Jacksonville saloons.
The results were serious, Enthusiasm
ran high and every Ratchet, axe, club
and brick in the neighborhood was col
lected speedily. With Mrs. Snyder in
the lead the women advanced to the
nearby saloon of Dan Grimes, who had
Just opened a new place with "all mod
ern improvements Without warn
ing half hundred bricks were hurled
against the glass front, and before the
astonished proprietor realized what
was wrong the front of the saloon look
ed as If a cyclone had struck it, The
inmates scrambled through the back
door.
Meanwhile the women had gained
the inside and demolished the large
mirror and emptied all the bottles on
the floor. Faucets in whiskey barrels
were turned open and the liquor and
wines were several inches deep.
Grimes, realizing that his assailants
we're the ewly-organized Nation Club,
rushed into the saloon and choked Mrs.
Snyder almost into insensibility and
dragged her from the place. Her
friends were quickly to the rescue,
however, and with clubs and what
bricks were left beat him almost to
death.
A large crowd soon gathered upon
the scene and free-for-all fight ensued
between the saloon element and the
sympathizers of the women. Grimes
was knocked down and kicked insensi-
Bile by the husband of Mrs. Snyder.
Mrs. Stephen Carrot was struck in the
face bya beer bottle and her head
mashed. Meantime the women took
to their heels and left the fight between
the enraged combatants. The police
were powerless and the fight lasted half
an hour.
The condition of Grimes is serious
and he may not recover from his in
juries. Mrs, Snyder is also in critical
condition. Jacksonville is small
place and has always borne a bad
reputation for its lawlessness and wide
open methods. The affair has made a
sensation, as the people who belong to
the Carrie Nation Club are the best
known of the place. The citizens say
it the saloons attempt to reopen they
will be dynamited, if necessary, in or
der to abolish them. Warrants have
been issued for the arrest of the lead
ers in the crusade.

cups of -four, and one-half cup of milk;
one teaspoonful of cream tartar sfted
in with the flour and a half-teaspoon

They won't cure 1t.
Backache means sick kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney
ills.
Montpelier people prove this.
Read a case of it:
Mr.. Fred Dodge, living on the Wor-
cester branch, says: my kidneys
ached 80 badly at times that was IN
able to do any work, and had to be
very careful in lifting to prevent sharp
pains and twinges in my loins from &C.
curing. 1 tried plasters and lini-
ments, but they did me no permanent
good. l had a spell and had to get
some one to do my work. 1 saw Dosn's
Kidney Pills advertised and making up
my mind to try them l got a box at
Lester H. Greene's drug store. After
using one box / felt so much better

cables, Sol. Tecson 7 officers, II SOL
diers, SO guns, 1900 rounds ammuni-
ton, surrendered unconditionally on
February II at San Miguel de Mayumo,

This breaks up the group of insur-
rectos in the mountains east of Balacan
and removes from northern Luzon The
last formidable organized force except
ing in the first district.
A rigid enforcement of the procla-
nation of Dec. 20 has resulted in the
spontaneous action of the people
through the Federal party in behalf of
peace and self protection. 1t is pro-
ducing the most satisfactory results and
encourages the hope Of an entire sus-
pension of hostilities at an early date.
