Mr.. Barney said that the injunction
simply forbade the publication OF the
report. unless unoer the direction of

candidates.
Mrs. Mevers is in receipt of u tele-
gram announcing the sad intelli-
gence of the serious illness of her
brother in Chicago.
Tho suit against the estate of the
late Il. 4. Williams will doubtless
be tried at the present term of the

case has been continued several
times and the cost is already inn
mense.
Sam Arnold is at Louisville for
the purpose of receiving surgical and
medical attention.
Rev. John II. Spuriin, ct al, have
Withdrawn the prohibition election
advertised for Saturday, April 20.
Attorney Geo. Wilson, who repro
sents the anti-saloou element, states
that the reason the election has been
withdrawn is based on the alleged
fact that Sturgis is now and has al
ways been a prohibition town. There
is still n wide diversity of opinion on
this proposition, however. Had the
election been allowed to come off
reaction would doubtless have set
in, for there are n largo number of
conservative" taxpayers (who like
cOrn-juice), that did not approve the
methods employed to close the sa-
looms before giving the people" u
chance to test tho seriousness of the
question involved.
Should Mr.. E1 mondsOn's appeal
be sustained by the State Court the
Prohibitionists intend to call an
election. If Judge Dorsey's opinion
be upheld the saloon men will call
an election at once.
Marshal Omer, who has been one
of the leading factors in the crusade
against the saloons, has had his sal
airy cut from $40 to s25 per month on
account of the same.
PrOhibitionists of Caseyville will
probably call an election for the
purpose of stopping the iniquitous
traffic at that place.
Let this holy work go on. let the
unpolluted air of virtue aud sobriety
fill the places where debauchery
and kindred vices reign supreme;
let the mothers and wives, who have
suffered these irreparablo losses,
keep up an unceasing warfare
against these agencies of destruction
and ii they are never completely
victorious that each of them in the
end can say: II have fought n good
fight" G. w. G.

Washington, April 0.--Information
which has reached Washington from
the army posts in different parts OF
the country irdicates shat the effect
of the abolition of the army canteen
has been the opposite to what was eX.
pccted by those who insisted on the
provision being inserted in the last
army bill. Drunkenness and disor.
der have increased at the army posts
Officials at Washington and the
members of the societies who urged
the change aud reside at the national
capital have oeen given an opportuni.
ty of observing the operation of the
law at the post near here. Neatly.
worn paths lead TO the groggcrics
Just outside the government rescrva-
tion. and one of them which had been
closed down has again opened for
business. The law prevents the open.
ing of new place until after SIX
months notice has been given. Sew.
cral prospective Joint" owners have
taken steps 20 establish new places.
Conditions here arc aggravated some
what by the fact that the post is the
scene of recruiting for part of Il
new cavalry regiment organizing un-
der the new bill, and the men arc not
thoroughly disciplined.
Luxuries formerly obtained
