Washington, Feb. 1S.- That the

person, firm or corporation and shall
not carry merchandise during their
hours of employment for hire. -
This is the language Of the proviso
in the amendment increasing to 1920
year the salaries of rural carriers.
1t is the purpose of the committee to
insist on the adoption of this amend
ment. While some opposition has
been manifested to the limitations
imposed on the carriers, it is not in
spired by the carriers themselves or
their friends in congress. AS hereto
fore stated in these dispatches an eff
fort will be made on the floor of the
house to have the salaries of the car

TO A CITIZEN OF RICHMOND
FOR BRAVERY DURING.
CIVIL WAR
HON. D. w. CoMSToCk
Col. Jackson of Tacoma, Washington,
Instrumental in Bringing the
Subject About.

According to a dispatch from
Washington a Richmond man IS to be
sienallv honored for bravery during
the civil war. Such honors as those
suggested could certainly fall upon
no better citizen or Drawer soldier.
Following is the text of the dis
patch:
Washington, Feb. ia medal
of honor for gallant service per-
formed Immediately after the battle
Of Nashville during the civil war
probably will be awarded to D. W.
Comstock, of Richmond, judge of the
Appellate court.
Application for the medal has
been made in Judge Comstock's s be-
half by Col. George w. Jackson, of
Tacoma. Wash, who commanded the
Ninth Indiana cavalry. The papers
have been placed in the hands of
Senator Beveridge, who will submit
them to the secretary of war with
the recommendation that appropriate
action be taken.
"Colonel Jackson forwards a mar
rative of the deed of heroism of
Judge Comstock which, he thinks, is
entitled to recognition. He states
that while in pursuit of Hood s army
after the engagement at Nashville his
horse reared and plunged, throwing
him into a ditch, disabling him and
preventing his escape. Comstock,
who was adjutant, went to his as
sistance. and, in the face of with
ering fire from the enemy, rescued
the colonel at the risk of his life.
Colonel Jackson states that the deed
was a daring one, for which Adjutant
Comstock was highly commended by
his superior officers.
The case will be submitted to the
board in the war department having
jurisdiction over such matters.

sented in the state contest are Nor
ris Hill, Butler, De Pauw, Wabash,
Taylor college and Earlham. Tay-
Ior college won the contest last year,
in which contest oratory Of a very
high class was shown.
During the last few years the num-
Der of speakers from the colleges over
the country have become so numer-
Gus that it was found necessary to
divide the country into three divis-
ions the eastern, central and the
western divisions, a contest being
held IN each division
Last evening Mr. d. /. Colvin, who
has been visiting Earlham yesterday
and today, and who is the president
of the National Collegiate Pro
hibition club of the United States,
addressed the Prohibition club of
Earlham on the subject of "The
Liquor Traffic of the United States

Mr.. Colvin showed, in very able
way, the great detriment which the
use of Intoxicating liquors is to the
welfare Of this nation. He showed
the failure of state prohibition and
of local option. He outlined the man
ner of working of the Prohibition
party, and showed that the liquor
traffic must be stopped through ma
tional legislation.
At the meeting of the Prohibition
club last night committees were APP
pointed to arrange for the coming
contest. and make plans for the en-
tertainine of the delegates from 9th
er colleges.
