What about the criminals Ia our
penitentiary who have been brought
there by the habit Of drink. Nine
cases outo Of ten they are safely locked
away from harming their fellow man
and yet the State prohibits drink
there. This is about as thin an argu-
ment as another Of the kind from the
Lawrence Union in the same paper,
who talks about trampling mans
personal rights-God given rights.
Talk about the rights of a man under
the dominion of the most cruel, exact
ing and vindicitive of all tyrants-
King Alcohol. The criminal can make
the same plea. What does such
slave know about freedom, for a man
under such bondage is the most pitt
full of all slaves. "All freedom that is
from the Lord is freedom indeed, but
that which is from hell and is with
man therefrom is Londage.' Shall we
wait until it is too late for man to
have the real God given freedom? as
in this case given in the Union Sig

The Board of Commissioners of Cook
County, H., is planning to exclude all
saloons from the neighborhood of the
new county poor farm soon to be pur
chased, says the Chicago Tribune,
Which quotes the President as fol-
lows:
Whatever their private views on
the liquor selling question the mem
bers are practically ANONYMOUS in the
belief that the proximity of saloons
to poor house or infirmary is not de-
sirable. 1t is well known that the
poor people in such Institutes are too
prone to spend in saloons all the
change they happen to obtain from
relatives and friends"
One cannot escape the reflection
that the habit of these poor persons
of spending their change on saloons
was not acquired after they had be-
come inmates of the county institute.
1t is a good thing to place the protec-
ton Of prohibition around the men
and women whose weakness of one
kind or another makes them a public
charge, But how much better to have
granted them that protection before
5he saloon had robbed them of their
strength How much better to place

Union City has much to be proud
of. First, perhaps, among the bless
ings are her churches, whose pulpits
are filled-every one of them with
able, earnest, conservative pastors
who are working together for the
uplifting of humanity. Then our
press sends to our homes papers
that can be received into the best
circles. Nothing that can democrat
ize the mind of the purest furnishes
their pages. But that institution
which exerts the deepest and most
lasting influence of all others is our
public school. an influence wider
and deeper than pulpit and press
combined, because its work is done
while the mind and heart are most
impressionable and lessons learned
then are not easily irradicated. In
tellect and character are developed
under its tutelage that leave their
impress on the world. We are truly
proud of our public school. 1t is
presided over by heightened chris
tian gentleman, scholar and a
trained educator who ever accentu-
ates the truth that nobility of char
acter is the only foundation of true
greatness and inspires his pupils to
attain it He not only presides over
his charge, but works with untiring
energy and patience in teaching and
training those entrusted to him.
No pupil or grade is neglected.
Nothing is done for glamour or
popularity, and no work is accepted
that is not genuine and thorough.
Superintendent Mute is assisted
by corps of earnest, conscientious
teachers who work faithfully and
,harmonlously not for, but with
him. The enrolment this session
has already reached 100, exceeding
that of all previous years.
Under his administration our boys
and girls will grow int men and
women competent to fill fositions

There is Heap of Solace in Being
Able to Depend Upon Well

For months Union City readers have
seen the constant expression of praise
for Doan's Kidney Pills and read
about the good work they have done
in this locality. Not another remedy
ever produced such convincing proof
of merit.
Mrs. j. A. Prieto, 424 Washington
Avenue, Union City, Tenn, says; Il

disordered and irregular condition of
the kidneys and my experience with
them has taught me that they act up
to the claims made for them. The
condition of my kidneys when l first
commenced using Doan's Kidney Pills
was very bad, the secretions were
weak and unnatural, being thick and
full of albumen. They gave me relief

ATTY. BOONE IS SICK
May Have To Submit To Sec
ond Operation AS Result
of Auto Accident.

Prosecutor d. L. Boone is again con-
fined to the house as a result of trou-
BILE he has been having with the slight
fracture or his skull which he suffered
in an automobile accident some time
ago.
When Mr.. Boone first noticed the
lump on his forehead he did not think
anything OF IL. but II began swelling
and later II became necessary to have
an ope ration performed on his fore
head.
Small pieces OF the outer bone of the
skull were removed and the suppuration
which had begun was thoroughly
cleansed. 1t was thought that this
would end the trouble, but the place
began to bother Mr.. Boone again and
he was finally compelled to cali the
doctor the second time.
1t is now feared that the deceased
part Of the bone was not all removed
and that another operation will be
necessary. While it is expected that no
permanent trouble viii result yet it is
possible that the injury, small as it
was. might result fatally.

OLD SHADY QuARTETTE
Is Expected To Be Big
Feature of the Watson
Meeting Saturday.

One of the big features of the Wat
Garfield meeting which is to be
held in this city next Saturday will be
the Old Shady Quartette. This is the
most famous campaign quartette in or
out of Indiana.
The people of Hammond may look
for anything in the way of stunts
and the quartette will have many in
novations to enliven the meeting next
Saturday.
The Old Shady Quartette, which has
accompanied Congressman Watson on
his speech making tour of the state,
is actively concerned in the song part
of the campaign. The members of the
quartette devote their entire time to
the singing and the composition of new
songs, and so versatile are they in this
regard that they compose words suit
able to each place they visit. Often
their ability in this regard is taxed
but the members have not yet failed
to come out with a variety of good Sc
lections for the towns which they visit.
The Old Shady is the official quartette
for the state committee. 1t is made up
of r. S. Potts. W. A. Tull, E. e. Bilby

BRYAN DANGEROUS MAN.
SAYS GOVERNOR HUGHES.
New York Executive Before Indian
apOlis Audience Denounces the
Democratic Candidate.

Indianapolis, Sept. 2s. Governor
Hughes of New York reached here at
noon and was met by a large escort
headed by Mayor Bookwaiter and Off
cials of the state republican committee.
The escort also included the Marion
club, marching organization. and the
Business Mems Taft club. Governor
Hughes was driven TO Tomlinson hall,
where he addressed a large crowd.
Senator Beverfdge rode in the car
riage with Governor Hughes and pre-
sided at the meeting. In his speech
before a crowd that completely fllc,.
the hall Governor Hughes took Mr..
Bryan as his subject and brought forth
round of applause by his verbal chas-
tisement of the democratic candidate
for president. He pictured Bryan as a
visionary and a man of words, not
deeds. He said Bryan was a candidate
this year because he had never had
an opportunity to put his ideas into
practice.
He denounced Bryan's antitrust
ideas and policies and the democratic
plan for the guaranty of bank deposits,
declaring that it was dangerous and
placed a premium on dishonest bank
ing. Dangerous Bryan and danger
Gus Bryan policies" was the line of
his argument.

STOP DRINKING
0rrine Destroys the Craving for
Drink-Cure Effected or
Money Refunded.

1t was formerly customary for the
habitua1 drinker to take the pledge
regularly, sometimes once year, and
sometimes in every fit of remorse that
followed his debauches, and then
break il.
But now it is gradually dawning on
the world that pledges do no stop
drunkenness. When a man takes a
pledge voluntarily, he expects to keep
it Every man expects to keep his
word and every broken pledge costs
the drunkard many a heartache But
he cannot help it. He fights as long as
he can, then succumbs to the craving.
The nervous system of the habitual
drinker is diseased and he must have
treatment that will cure this condition.
Orrine is sold under a positive CUR
antee to cure the drink habit or the
money will be refunded. No other treat
ment for the liquor habit is sold under
such a liberal guarantee.
Orrine is prepared in two forms: No.
! a powder, perfectly tasteless and
coioriess. which can be given secretly
in any food or drink. Orrine No. 2 is
in pill form, for those who wish to be
cured of the habit. and it should be
taken by every one who swears off.
No matter which form of Orrine is
used the guarantee is the same. The
price is s1.00 per box, mailed in plain
sealed wrapper upon receipt of price.

BOYS CASE IN DOUBT
Lads Who Stole Fruit From
Store Still Considered
BY Authorities.

1t is possible that Ben Hopkins, who
was arrested in company with several
boys, whose ages range from IL to IA
years. will have to go to the reform
school for stealing fruit from Scatena
& Sbiagias store.
Ben Hopkins is the young man who
was intrusted with $500 belonging to
the Erie railroad and ran away with it.
He was arrested. but when his case
came to trial he was released on the
promise that he would do better.
Since then he has been implicated in
some other questionable escapades,
which did not. however, result in his
arrest. The recent theft of fruit is an
indication that the boy does not intend
to mend his ways and it is likely he
will be sent to the reform school.
where he can be watched and taught
the error of his ways.
The parents of Fred Yark and Sher-
man Young did not come to the trial
this morning and the case of these
boys was continued until their parents
could be summoned before the court
and consulted about their boys.
The cases of Albert Zoll will be con-
tinued from Saturday until Saturday to
see how the boys behave.

BOY THIEVES IN GARY
Depredations of Young Ras-
Gals Attracts Lots of
Attention.

The depredations of hoy thieves in
Gary is coming to be a matter of com
ment and the re is hardly day passes
hen some pernicious activity of the
Gary boys is not reported.
Yesterday housebreaking seemed to
be the fad and there were two cases
of burglary in which boys are believed
to have participated. Peter Enz liv-
ing at 1179 Adams street left his house
to visit a neighbor and left his vest
containing a gold watch and some
small change in it.
Some one, presumably some boys. en-
tered the house and stole the watch and
the change. There was no clue.
In the case of Rev. Clark, however,
there was proof that boys were the
thieves for one of the boys left his hat
on the piano stool in the hou Sc. In
this case the boys got a 81 bill and
about 80 cents in change.
The inexperience of the boys as
thieves is shown by the fact that they
picked out a preachers house as a like
ly place to make a good haul.

SALOON MAN IN IS BAD
Joseph Vronk Arrested For
Putting Poor Whiskey In
With Good Whiskey.

Charged with putting poor whisky in
a bottle containing good whisky Jo-
seph Rembow, a Whiting asloonkeeper,
was arrested this morning at Whit
ing by United States Deputy Mar
shall d. c. Rankin. of Indianapolis.
Representatives, of the United States
revenue oce were present at the trial
which took place before United States
Commissioner Charles Surprise in the
federal building.
The saloonkeeper waived examina-
ton and was bound over to the federal
grand jury at indianapolis, which will
meet in November. His bond was fixed
at 500. United States Attorney Mich
OILS of Indianapolis appeared for the
government. The substitution of liquors
is a penitentiary offense and it may
go hard with the saloonkeeper.
