that if they used any for that purpose, it

induced the saloon men to violate the law
by hiring men to tempt them and fur
nishing them money with which to buy
the liquor. tie asked that for this rea-
son the cases be dismissed.
Mr.. Smiser admired his opponents ell.

The city was not a party to the crime,

the instructions to come ont here and

the law, there was no proof produced
as to his consent.
Mr.. Voorhies argued that the defend
ant should be acquitted, and City At
torney fowler took sides with him,
Jas. A Smiser, Esq, who had been
retained as special counsel for the city
in these cases, said that all the proof
went to show that the offense was
committed with the knowledge and
consent of the defendant; he saw his
clerk selling the liquor. knew it was
going on, and there was no proof any
where to show that he dissented to it.
He closed his argument by saying that
the time has arrived when the saloon
men should be given to know that they
must carry on their business under the
regulations of the law, and he urged
that in the cases on trial the court
infict the limit of the law.
The Vestal case was disposed of as
stated above, the court holding that il
Vestal had been sole proprietor he
would have been guilty beyond doubt,
but that he was partner with Pey-
ton, and that Peyton, as proprietor,
had already been fined for keeping open
the saloon.
All of the cases were appealed.

proved the fallacy of the argument that
to abolish the saloon hurts business.
We see in the hanging Of John Ad-
kins mistaken policy on the part of
the State. The State gives men the
right to sell the stuff that makes them
commit crimes, and then hangs them
for it.
Mr.. Harris spoke of the progress of
the anti saloon movement A few
years ago every sideboard had its de-
canttr, and even the preacher had to
have his mint julep before he could
preach his Sunday sermon. But pub
lie sentiment had begun to realize the
evil Of such course, and had turne1
against 1t. Many of hearers would
doubtless be surprised to know that
in our own State, out of about 3,
800 cities, towns and villages, there
are only sixty in which liquor is Ii
censed to be sold, while half of the nine
ty six counties haven't a saloon in them
Does that look like the abolition of the
saloon is killing business in this, one of
the most prosperous states of the Union?
All this goes to show that "things are
coming our way" This uprising of the
people cannot be held down; their will
cannot be throttled.
The speaker said he believed there
were those living now who would see
the day when the saloon would be driv-
en- entirely from this state

few explanatory remarks in regard to

The we'll is dug" not bored, and the
walls are rough stone. 1he water stands
about four feet deep in the bottom.
The child did not drown because the
mother ran to the well and climbed down
the rough stone wall, going from crevice
to crevice until she reached the baby.
She pulled the child up to her, took her
in her arms and then made the ascent,
climbing the stone wall by the crevices
as before. Strange to say, the child was
not seriously hurt by the fall.
