ARMY CUTS OUT ALCOHOL.

The Austro-Hungarian army. accord
ing to the Vienna spondent of the
Journal of the American Medical asso-
citation MAY 81, 1879, is closely limit
ing the use of alcohol
The present unsettled political con
ditions in Europe have resulted in
keeping a large number of soldiers in
readiness for more than half year,
and the provisions for hygienic wei
fare of several hundred thousand men
are being put to a crucial test.
A fact worthy OF notice is the nearly
complete absence Of alcohol from the
daily bill of fare of the soldiers on
the frontier The water supply in that
country being none too good, care has
been taken to instruct the soldiers in
this respect that they are being con
stantly told that the old statement,
bad water is made innocuous by
alcohol is dangerous misrepresenta-
ton.
1t has also been ascertained that
whenever a period of endurance was
required OF the soldiers those who
took no alcohol were much more fit
for work than the other men. In
mountain climbing the consumption or
alcoholic beverages was distinctly de-
trimental to the accuracy of stepping.
The effect of sweetened liquid (sweet
tea. coffee or milk was very crafty
ing The sweet, mild black Italian or
Turkish wine with very low per-
centage of alcohol was ranked with
these other beverages, but even this
wine was disallowed when long exer-
cises were taken.
The experiences obtained by the
army authorities will no doubt lead to
a complete elimination of alcohol as
war rations" except for medical use,
although here also experience speaks
at least not In favor of an addition
of alcohol for pneumonia, typhoid and
general debility.
1t Is also noted that total abstainers
form a negligible fraction among those
soldiers who have to be punished for
disorderly conduct, breach of dis
cipline or other minor offenses or
military nature, although total Austen

file Of the army, for, In the anti

members of the mob for no one ever

way of passing up trouble, but from

as ne thinks an injustice was
done him in printing the original
article the information from
which was CLEANED from five or
six people who were present.
He says that his grasping the
woman's foot was an accident
and that he apologized to her and
all concerned. He says further
that the Tango Girls party did
not seem inclined to take things
just right even after his apology
and that discussion started
that brought on further talk.
He says further that under the
circumstances there was nothing
left for him to do but to stand
pat" which he did and that he
was not compelled to leave by
anyone but left of his own ac-
cord. He further says that dur
ing the talk one of the men in
the crowd went up stairs to get
help and that the woman got a
knife at the same time. The
man says he was not drunk.

Chapman as saying that with
corn worth no more than 65
cents and plenty of rough feed
to go with it, I am taking out
heavy feeders to put on full feed
Immediately. Some corn has
been contracted for at 60 cents,
but 65 cents will be the ruling
price for a while, which is much
below last years cost" Mr..

Heavy Storm Friday

A storm visited this region
late Friday evening composed Of
hail, rain and a heavy wind.
Those who watched the cloud
say that it seemed to divide,
west of the city and in the in
terstice between the two clouds
the formation gave evidence of a
genuine "twister" too high in
the air to reach the ground. The
wind blew the rain in binding
sheets and it was accompanied
by some hail. Further west the
the hail was reported to be
heavy and did considerable dam
age. For several days this Ii
cinity had been visited by a con-
tinuous system of rain and sun
shine and this storm was follow
ed by clear weather Saturday
afternoon. The roads especially
the newly-worked highways are
reported to be very muddy and
one wagon was reported stalled
Saturday morning between here
and the Wabash station with the
wheels nearly covered with mud.

Road Working

This county needs a system of
road working so the roads can
be worked when they should.
All respect and commentator
is due the gentleman who are
far-sighted enough to see that
good roads mean much to a
town but it seems that the con-
dition of the roads worked
recently show that the work
should be done earlier in the
year. Roads nearly all ways
from the city, will be well-nigh
impossible during the winter.
The work should be done in the
late spring so the roads could
settle and harden with the sum-
mer's traffic before the winter
comes on.

brass evidently came from the

citizen to lend a hand. Suitable
decorations for all buildings in
the city should be made. and the
park set in order without delay.
The time is short because of the
delay is completing the monu-
