Hundreds of dollars worth of grain

on Lincoln street gave away, allow
ing tons of grain and flour to fall into
the Piscataquis river below. Luckily
no one was in the portion of the mill
at The time. Had any of the mill
hands gone down with the grain and
-four death would have been almost
certain, on account of rocks and
lodges below, distance of 80 feet.
Work was at once started toward res
cuing the flour and grain from the
rocks. Much of the stuff went into
the water and will be total loss. A
part of it which was landed on top of
the rocks was not badly damaged and
a part can be saved. The floors of the
mill have been used for many years
but were considered safe. The floor
sank without warning and with a
crash heard for blocks. Several of
the employees had just left that part
of the mill when the floor fell.

The Northwestern says: cone of
the most important decisions i'll the
history of the movement against the
saloon was that rendered, February
13, by Judge Samuel r. Artman, of
the Boone County Ind. Circuit
Court. The ruling was in what is
known as the Tenth Ward case, and
it sustains a remonstrance against
granting a saloon license to a certain
applicant in Indianapolis, upon the
ground that licensing saloons is con
trary to the constitutions OF Indiana
and the United States. Judge Art
man holds that in view of the repeat
ed decisions of the courts, both State
and national, that the beverage liquor
traffic is hurtful to the public health,
morals and safety, and it is therefore
unlawful to license places for carry
ing on this traffic. =. If the Su-
preme Court sustains the position of
Judge Artman, and we do not see how
it can fail to do so, the days of the
saloon are numbered, for in the alb
sence of the right to collect revenue
from license, State governments will
compel saloons to close
