To which the Yankee printers, before
closing the forms, added the following
comment:
"Note-July 4th, 1898: Two days

of the Union floats over Vicksburg. Gen.
Grant has caught the rabbit be has
dined in Vjcksburg, and he did bring his
dinner with him. The Citizen lives to
see it. For the last time it appears On

the luxury of mule meat and fricassed

diet evermore. This is the last wall pa

raj dollars each, Confederate money.

SANCTIFIED SALOON CLOSES.
Bishop Potter's Farcical Reform Fail- ure Rum and Religion
 Wouldn't Mix.

New York, Aug. 31. The Sub- way Tavern, which was opened eleven months ago with an ad- d ess by Bishop Potter and the singing of the doxology, closed it's doors at midnight for the last time as ''sanctifed saloon. n.'
 Today it's proprietors will it is stated sign over the place to the man who has been conducting the restaurant on the premises.
 The new owner will after ex- tensive alterations run the place as an ordinary saloon.
 While all those connected with the establishment who could be seen were reticent concerning the change, several employees of the tavern explained that there had not been sufficient income from the sales to pay running expenses.
 Instead of the well known citi- zens who established the tavern drawing a 5 per cent dividend as they expected it was said in the last six months they had been compelled so often to go down into their pockets to make good a deficit that they had become tired and wished to be rid of the tavern entirely.
 When the tavern was opened in October, 1904, it was an- nounced that only pure liquors would be sold.
 One room was fitted up with a soda fountain, where women might be served with beer.
 The outer walls cf the building were painted with texts of scrip ture and highly colored signs, but in words of one of the bar tenders, it was found that rum and religion would not mix.

 CONSTIPATION. Everyone Knows When He is Consti- pated and Everyone Should Know the Risk He is Running When
 He Fails to Promptly
 Correct it. Any Disease Epidemic or Otherwise to Which He or She May be Exposed is Sure to Result Seriously.

There are two ways to remove consti- patton; the wrong way is to drench the bowels with powerful, griping, drastic cathartic that injures the coating of the bowel channels and produces an early return of the trouble in a more chronic form. The right way is to use natural, easy and mild laxative that tones up and strengthens the bowels and leaves a hea1thfu1 influence behind it. Prickly Ash Bitters will empty the bowels just as thoroughly as the harsher cathartics' and combines all the tonic and strength ening properties necessary to perma' nently cure the habit.

A PROPER PUNISHMENT
The First Victim of OregOn's Whip
 ping Post.

Portland, Ore, June 7.-The "whip- ping post" law passed by the session of the last legislature in January last was carried into execution for the first time today upon Charles McGinty, con- victed of wife beating
 McGinty was convicted in the state circuit court, and sentenced to receive twenty lashes, the maximum punish ment. The flashing was performed by Jailer Graft. under the direction of Sheriff Thomas Word and under the supervision of Assistant County Phy- sician C. C. Mccormack. The whip was q braided blacksnake, made of rawhide, with four lashes. McGinty after receiving. sentence, was hustled to jail. where he was stripped to the waist and his manacled hands tied to a door in the jail corridor, high above his head. The beating was as severe as the powerful jailer was capable of ad- minjstering. Blood was drawn at the fourth blow. McGinty writhed and groaned and strained at the manacIes binding his wrists.
 When the punishment was conclud- ed McGinty was released, and few minutes later left the jail. unassisted. McGinty was punished for having re- Deatedly struck his frail wife and for having blackened her eye because she refused to pay over to him her earn ings for him to sqUander.

A Move for the Dissolution
 of Scandinavia
NORWEGIAN STORTHING
Issues a Proclamation That Norway Is no Longer Under Oscars Rule. A AQuestion of Protection and Free Trade.

London, June 7.-The revolution in Norway, although anticipated and peacefully effected, comes to Europe with unexpected suddenness, and the question is asked with some anxiety whether it means immediate complica- tons. Had Russia not been involved in 9 difficult war in the far east, it is doubtful whether Norway would have taken the present momentous step, which will not likely be regarded with approval by the European powers.
 Emperor Williams omission of his customary tour of Norway this year sems to indicate his disapprOval of the Norwegian policy, and the fact that the coup d'etat is not likely to eventuate in the establishment of a Norwegian republic would alone be a reason why the step should not commend itself to the monarchical powers.
 It is nowhere thought that King Os- car will consent that a junior member of his family should become a king of Norway. The British sympathies ap- pear strongly on the side of Sweden, and King Oscar, more especially as an English princess is about to marry the prince who is in direct line of success sion to the Swedish throne.
Arizona republican., 1905-06-08

StorthinS addressed a proclamation to the Norwegian people in which is giV- en a detailed account of the events preceding the passing of the resolu- tion. The proclamation concludes as follows: "The Storthing hopes that the Norwegian people will succeed in living in peace and on good terms with all and not least with the Swedish people to whom we are linked by so many natural ties.
 "The storthing is sure that the peo- pie will join with it and with the gov ernment. maintaining full indepen- dence from Norway, and with firmness and dignified tranquility submit to necessary sacrifices and it is further sure that all subjects will fully respect all ordinances and prescriptions of the government.
 ''All officials civil and military, must in every respect yield that obedience which the government has the right to claim, according to authority trans ferred to it by the Storthing in the name of the people of Norway"
 The proceedings throughout the mo- mentous session of the Storthiug today were marked by supreme good order and in utmost dignity.
 That the feeling was intense was ev- idenced by the great gathering of peo- pie outside the Storthing during the early session and after an announce ment of the result of the proceedings. Quiet respect was shown the members as they left the building.
 The dissolution of the union of Swee- dan and Norway was due to a desire for the establishment of separate con sular systems for the two countries.
 
 vetoed by the king. One cause of Ulle desire to separate the consular systems is the fact that Sweden is protectionist and Norway is for free trade. There were also other divergences of national interests.

SWEDEN sTEADFAsT.
It Is Recognized That a Serious Situa-
 tio- Is Presented.

Stockholm. June 7.-The Norwegian coup d'etat was answered here tonight by a great patriotic demonstration of loyalty to and sympathy with King Os- car. A great procession, accompanied by bands, went to Rosendam castle, where the bands played the national anthem.
 Tn a few minutes the king and other members of the royal family appeared or the balcony of the castle and were enthusiastically Cheered by the demon strators, while number of ladies ad- vanced from the crowd and presented the king with bOquets. Though great ly excited over the situation, the pop ulace remains -eutvaEdly calm. King Oscar he'd a council this evening, at which the situation was considered.
 The newspapers of Stockholm, com menting on the action of the NOrweg- ian Storthing, take an extremely seri- GUS view the situation.

The Equitable to Be Put on
 Its Feet Again
PLANS ARE AGREED UPON
Both the Hyde and Alexander Fac tiOns of One Hind - There Is to Be in the First Place a General Reduc- tiOn of Expenses.

New York, June 7.-Resolutions sug- gesting radical reforms in the manage ment of the Equitable Life Assurance society were adopted at today's meet ing Of the directors. These affect all the high officials and presage a sweep ing curtailment of the society's general expenses. The resolutions also imply many important changes in the finan- cial policy of the society. Last week s nominating committee of seven. which had been reduced to two by req son of the resignatiOns of D. O. Mills, John l. Stewart, A. J. Cassatt. T. Jef- fcrsOn Coolidge and Robert T. Lincoln. was reconstructed as follows: August Belmont, Louis Fitzgerald and Chaun- cey NJ. Depew of New York; James E. Forgan of Chicago and David H. Moi fatt of Denver. This committee is re- quested to submit a candidate for chairman of the board of directors. Should the committee fail to choose a chairman. the members of the direc- tory will then be asked to submit the names Of candidates.
 From all accounts, there was com plete harmony of action between the Alexander and Hyde forces, all the res I. It was again denied, however, that any
 coalition" of these factions had been effected. Further resolutions were passed for the reorganization of the executive committee, with President Alexander, Vice President Hyde and the comptroller as ex-officio members and four directors who are not officers.
 A resolution was passed to the ef- feet that the salaries of executive of fcers should be reduced to correspond with those paid in other insurance banking and trust corporations, the amounts to he hereafter determined upon. A further resolution was passed to reduce the general expenses of the society.
 It was also resolved that no ad- vances to agents or other agency ex- penditures should be made without the approval of the executive committee; also that all investments made by the executive committee be made subject to approval by the board. and that the of deposits uniformly carried in banks and trust companies should be reduced to working balances and the residue invested in approved se- curities.
 The resolution calling for the reor- ganization of the executive committee means the retirement therefrom of Messrs. Tarbell, Wilson and Mcintyre, the second, third and fourth vice-pres- idents, respectively. It is altogether likely that other members of the cOm- mittee will retire. including William A. who has long been seriously III, and several members now closely identified with financial institutions with which the Equitable has relations.
