able money is required for immediate use
before winter sets in. As II will not be

This was the case of the State o
Oregon vs. G. B. Hansard, charged
with selling liquor in violation ot
the local option liquor law in ths
dry" precinct of L banon.
At the last term of court the facts
in this case were stipulated, 1t being

contended that no law was violated
alleging the loca1-option law did no

constitution of the United States
has not yet been amended in that
respect. The Oregonian says if
you will only wait until the feder-
al constitution is amended you may
proceed to elect by the direct vote
of the people; the legislature alone
can elect senators until that has
been accomplished. Did Lincoln
wait for the constitution to be
amended before be issued the eman-

Northern states and some Of the
border states wait for that before
theyenacted laws freeing the slaves?
No, the federal constitution was

able to mount another, but he bravely
persisted in the performance Of his
duty Charging through the line Of the
enemy he led his men.
The battle of Belmont was, however,
not destined to be a Union victory.
Rice, knowing that the tide had turned
against his cause, did his best to aid
the retreating men. With the Seventh
Iowa he covered the retreat Of the en-
tire command till they had reached the
boats three miles up the river.
In the capture of Fort Donelson that
followed quickly after, Major Rice had
not sufficiently recovered from his
wounds to be able to walk without the
aid Of crutches, but he went into the
assault with them.
Throughout the entire campaign of
Grant, Rice was one of the officers I'M
der the general who were distinguished
for their gallantry. 1t was a hard
fought campaign every step of the way
from the west to the east, and that
man never failed to do his duty Is
proof enough of his courage.
