1.-The Saloon rlust Co."
BY PETER PITT.

1t is neither graceful nor dig
nified, nor always manly, to ride
a fence, nevertheless fence-rid-
ing seems to be the chief pursuit
of a good many people relative to
the war being waged between
the temperance and liquor for
ces. l fear that the article by
Leo" in last weeks Greenville
Journal has had the effect to con-
vince not a few of your readers
that the writer occupies a fence
position. 1t is sometimes true
that whole Christian congrega-
tions pastor and all-present the
unsightly appearance of fence
riding, but such is the exception
and not the rule.
That closing sentence" re-
ferred to by Brother Leo"
namely, '"The saloon must go"
was spoken by man who is not
on the fence, but on solid earth,
and in line of march with the
great anti-saloon army. No one
could mistake the meaning of the
speaker, when in closing an eN-
tended reference to the mighty
campaign that is now being Wag-
ed all over the country, Ohio as
well, he gave utterance to the
verdict already pronounced in a
thousand quarters, THE saloon
must 60" He meant to say that
the time is very near at hand
when all over the land, the sa-
loon must close it's doors and
cease to deal out it's elements of
destruction. In this declaration
he is supported by facts too nu-
merous to mention. Who that
reads the signs of the times can
fail to interpret the language
thereof? Look at Georgia, Ten
nessee, Alabama, Kentucky, Ok
lahoma, and consider the inroads
within Ohio in the last half-dozen
years. Think you that this nigh
ty advance is going to stop all at
once? How is it possible for
Leo" to say, "The sentiment in
favor of the saloon is quite DOM
inant,' and again, "The going
out of the saloon is a remote pos
sibility?"
The plan mentioned by Leo
about the brewers and distillers
converting the saloon into some
thing respectable, is not being
consided seriously by men of
thought and acquainted with the
tactics of the liquor people. The
fact is that the temperance people
are on the right track, and moving
on toward more certain reforma.
ton of the business than the liq-
uor people can be trusted to bring
about, and they are not going tC
be side-tracked by any pretenses
or promises from the enemies of
home and purity, whose fortunes
are dependent upon the shekels
secured from weak men, and
helpless women and children.
1t is we'll known that the sa-
loon has been pronounced an out
law by all the courts that have
given it notice. The u. S. Su-
preme court holds that it has nc
inherent right to exist. Temper
ance people have served notice
that war on the saloon is to be
Waged necessarily to the death,
and they are marching grardly
on to that end. Liquor people
have been advised to unload their
stock an ticipating a falling mar
ket, but they have usually con.
cluded to put up large sums OF
money for legislative purposes,
and depend upon those persons
who are "on the fence" and
those respectable Christian peo-
pie" referred to by LEO" and
occasional drinkers" to secure
for them a lease of life, at least
for a little time.

HOW SITE is SECURED.
Postmaster Receives Necessary Data
for Prospective Bidders.

In view of the fact that a bill has
nassed congress and has been signed
by the president granting Walla Waila
public building, the manner OF
choosing a site will be of interest to
Wala Wallans Postmaster E. l.. Brun-
ton has received advice along this line,
which is to the effect that upon the en-
actment of law authorizing the &C
ouisition of a site for a federal building
the treasury department invites,
through a local newspaper proposals
for the sale or donation of a suitable
corner. This advertisement gives such
information as to the dimensions of the
site and the general requirements as
will enable intelligent preparation OF
proposals.
The offers are opened in Washington
at the time stated in the advertisement,
and as soon thereafter as practicable
An agent of the department is sent to
make personal examination of the
proposed locations and such others as
he deems desirable. Upon this report,
together with representations in writ
ing from other sources, the department
selects the site and, if the property is
to be acquired by purchase, accepts the
offer of the successful bidder, subject
to the conditions stated in the adver-
tisement and the attorney generals ap-
prevail of the title.
Whenever the department is unable
to purchase an acceptable site at
reasonable price, or where acceptable
title can not be secured by voluntary
conveyance. a selection is made an I
the title acquired by condemnation pro-
ceedings, in which the price to be paid
is judicially determined.
The buildings Gf any on the site
should be reserved by the vendor to be
removed upon notice after payment for
the land has been made. Generally, no.
tice to move is not given until the con-
struction of the federal building IS
about to begin. if the vendor is will
ing. pending such removal, to pay d
reasonable ground rent
Plans for public buildings are taken
up in the order in which the titles 10
the sites therefor are vested in the
United States. and the contracts foi
their construction are let at as Early a
cate as practicable.

BARNES HEARS
AWFUL STORY
CONTINUED From Page One.)

have been the effect of the strain Of
the first days trial, the long rest given
the defendant had enabled him to re-
cover from the. ordeal. and if any
thing, he appeared calmer than he was
when court opened yesterday morning
AS the prosecuting attorney elabor-
ated on the details of the crime, how
ever, the defendant was visibly ag,-
tated and seemingly maintained his
composure with great effort.
Prosecuting Attorney Rupp just
touched on the theory of the defense
that the prisoner was of unsound mind
merely stating that Barnes prepara-
ton for the alleged crime clearly in6li-
Gated his sanity.
The prosecuting attorney stated that
the state would prove that robDerv
was the motive for the crime; that tho
defendant expected to SECURE posses
sion of a considerable portion of Mrs
Aldrich's estate by killing her
Mr.. Rupp then went on to recite the
details of the alleged movements of
the murderer and his victim. He told
of how Barnes purchased a pick han
die with which to beat the aged wo-
man to death, and how under pretext
of wishing to view some timber land
cl, ho hi
one of the loneliest regions in the
county.
The prosecutor wildly described the
struggle which ensued when the wo-
man finally devined the purpose of the
murderer and how quickly this strug-
gle was ended by the brutal blow on
the head.
Mr.. Rupp then told of how the muir
derer half carried, half dragged the
body OF his victim to the depression
at the base of the up-rooted tree and
there left it as spoils for beasts of
prey
He described in detail the move
ments of the alleged murderer how he
returned home and concOcted various
stories of Mrs. Aldrich's departure,
and how, when the relatives of the wi
dow became alarmed at her absence
he sought to allay their fears by send
ing messages alleged to have come
from her.
Mr.. Rupp made a masterful presen-
tation of the states side of the case.
1t is understood that the defense will
reserve making its statement until
the state has completed it's direct case.
The examination of witnesses will
begin tomorrow morning.

Visited by Wife.

Lest there should be something hap
pen that would impede the prOsecu-
ton of the Barnes case, Mrs. Bud
Barnes and Attorney Cain were this
morning denied the privilege of seeing
the prisoner together Either may see
him separately, but not both at the
same time
Attorney Cain and Mrs. Barnes ap-
peared at the county jai! about 1880
this morning and Mr.. Cain asked that
permission be granted for the two to
see Barnes together. Barnes had, he
said, been wanting such a consultation
for more than a month.
Deputy Sheriff Claude Berry denied
the permission, and referred the mat
ter to Judge Brents for decision. On
the protest of Prosecuting Attorney
Rupp. the permission was denied by
the judge.
Consultation between the prisoner
and his wife, and with his attorney,
I }lloWed, but the conference of the
three was not held.
Mrs Barnes seems not to show any
effect of the strain of waiting for the
decision of her husbands fate. She
appeared in good health this morning
and smiled unrestrainedly when she
spoke to members of the group on me
steps of the county Jail.
Barnes spent the day quietly and
seemed not excited by the interviews
granted him. He appeared somewhat
worried tecause the requst for the talk
with bis attorney and wife together
