One of the most disgraceful scenes hap
pened in our quiet little village last Sun
day evening when people were going to
evening services, street fight occurred be-
tween NO of our citizens. One knocked
the other down and they fought for time
on the ground until a spectator parted
them. Ore of the participants raised
cane in the air and threatened to split the
others head open and bury him in the
earth.
This community was shocked last Mon
day morning to hear of the death Of Guy
Bickford of Holland, only son of Ira and
Flora Bickford, formerly OF this place. He
was taken suddenly i'll Saturday evening
and died Sunday evening, being sick about
twenty hours. Everything possible was
done for him but medical skill and loving
care could not prolong his life. Guy was
youth of Is years, of fine qualities and
bright future, and beloved by all who
knew him. Funeral services were held in
the church here Thursday at O'Clock
Rev. S. g. Lewis of Barton Landing offici-
ating. There was a beautiful display of
flowers from loving friends: Pillow OF
white and pink roses with word ''brother"
from Albert Williams and wife; broken
circle and carnations from the school
children of East Bloomington; carnations,
Mrs. Hunt of Westmore; basket of white
roses, Mrs. L. A. Drown; white roses,
Grace Brown; a number of bouquets and
wreaths from friends. The burial was at
Bloomington Center.
CARD-We wish to express our heartfelt
thanks to the friends and neighbors in
Holland and Evansville who so kindly
assisted US during the illness, deathsand

Your kindness and sympathy SO cheerfully

FORMALDEHYDE
Found in Milk Sold al
Alliance.

Alliance, Aug 24.-George H. Riley
an inspector of the Ohio Dairy and
Food department and Sanitary Police
man James G. Hogue who made an
investigation here recently of the mill,
taken from the various wagons in the
city, have caused the arrest of Issie
Wise. charged with selling adulterat.
ed milk.
Wise conducts a meat market on
South Liberty avenue and sells bottled
milk as side issue. An analysis of
a pint of the milk showed the pres.
ence of formaldehyde. This instance
was the only one however out Of "a
different samples, which fact speaks
well for Alliance. Wise stated how
ever to Mayor Walker that he was un-
conscious of any offense because he
received the milk daily from Bert
Stocker, local milk vender. He ask
ed that the hearing be postponed so
as to allow Stocker to become inter-
ested and Mayor Walker set the date
for August 81 at p. m.

RATHBONE SISTERS
Recognized asIndepend-
ent Order.

Louisville, KY, Aug. A.-The su-
preme lodge of the knights of Pythias
at its session today voted to recognize
the Rathbone Sisters as an independ-
ent organization by a majority Of sew
enteen. This does not give the MEM
bers the privilege OF participating in
the councils Of supreme bodies. but
merely recognizes it as it does the
order OF Knights Of the Khorassan.
The uniform rank was not molested.
When the question came up on the
recommendation of Past Supreme
Commander Tracey r. Bangs, the body
voted down a motion to put the uni
fern rank under a separate governing
body.
The supreme lodge adjourned this af-
ternoon to meet again in New Orleans
on the third Tuesday in September,
1906.

UNDER THE SEA.
BATTLE FOR LIFE SAID TO
HAVE RACED
IN A SUBMARINE BOAT
Naval Officers Decline to
Discuss 1t

Newport, r. l., Aug. PA story Of
a battle for life. 100 feet under the
sea in submarine boat, last Monday,
reached Newport, from the torpedo
station this afternoon.
Lieutenant Charles P. Nelson, U. 9.
NJ, and Lieutenant e. Shapley, u. s.
N. and a crew Of eight men in the
submarine boat Porpoise, went out for
drill In general maneuvres Monday af-
ternoon and when the boat reached the
scene of the test she was submerged
for q trip twenty feet below the sur
face. For some reason the boat kept on
sinking till she had reached depth Of
120 feet and lay on the bottom. The
work Of blowing out the tanks to raise
her was begun and, although the tanks
were emptied, the boat failed to RISE
Other exhaust valves were opened but
the heavy pressure of water burst them
and the situation became critical.
Moreover, there was a leak at the
torpedo tube forward and about the
bilges Of the boat and for half an hour
the men worked hand pumps. Great
was their effort under the trying and
dangerous conditions and finally their
labor told, for after a while the Por-
poise began to rise and was soon afioat.
Naval officers decline to discuss the
incident, saying that it was trivial
matter, and all in the line of drill.
The report reaches Newport though,
that 1t was only through the nerve and
combined efforts of Lieut. Nelson and
his men that they and the boat were
saved.

LOCALIZED EvILS--NO. 100
BY John Danner.

In the great moral reforms of this
nation history is repeating itself. Sixty
years ago, when the curse of human
slavery was yet legalized in certain
parts Of this nation, there sprang uI
two parties that were opposed to hui
man slavery in any form or at any
price. These were the Abolitionists and
Freesoilers. Both these organizations
stood for the destruction OF slavery,
and yet they were entirely separate and
distinct. So today we find the Prohi-
bitionists and the Anti-Saloon organi.
cations opposed to the legalization OF
the liquor traffic for beverage purposes
at any price or upon any terms.
The more the questions Of the entire
destruction of the liquor traffic for bev-
erage purposes is discussed and inves-
tigated, the more 1t will be seen that
both the Prohibitionists and the Anti
Saloon people want the same thing
and that is no saloon upon any terms
or any price.
These being the facts, 1t is not only
useless but It is wrong for either the
Anti-Saloon league to oppose the Pro-
hibitionists, or for the Prohibitionists
to traduce the Anti-Saloon league.
Both want the same thing, and that
is mo saloon" upon any terms or at
any price.
Let every citizen who feels the evils
OF the saloon to be the greatest evil of
the nation, cooperate and help one or
both these organizations. We have
good citizens that are quite active in
the anti-saloon work, but oppose the
Prohibition party. We also have some
Prohibitionists who oppose the work of
the Anti-Saloon league. These men are
doubtless honest in what they do, but
they should stop and think before cast
ing stones at each other. It is true the
methods of the Anti-Saloon league and
the Prohibition party are quite differ
ent, but 1t appears to some Of us that
10th want the same thing, and that is
mo saloon"
Many Of the most active and success
ful workers against the saloon support
both the Prohibition party and the
&AAeA SSAOoh ASoouCt uhu ShAo 10 uOuDI-
less the better plan.
Personally, feel that all the means
and time ! can spare should be put
forth for the upbuilding of the Prohibi-
ton party; but there are others who
are patriotic and good citizens that CO.
operate only with the Anti-Saloon
league, and oppose the efforts of the
Prohibition party. This is doubtless
great mistake, and think that many
who have formerly pursued this plan
are becoming convinced that 1t is not
hest to traduce or call in question the
plan laid down by either the Anti
Saloon league or the Prohibition party
workers. All who are calm and look
at this matter as they should must
admit that II a man honestly supports
either the Prohibition party or the
Anti-Saloon league, that man wants
no saloon, and therefore should have
the confidence, II not the co-operation
a. every citizen who Is opposed to the
saloon upon any terms or, at any price,

for the destruction Of our common
enemy. '1et every man be fully per-
suaded in his mind" and then do all
