Law—ItsKnforcement or Non-Enforcement. To the Editor of The Journal. That is the question before the people, not only of this place but in all towns and cities, and throughout the city generally. Officers are elected whose duty it is to see that the law is upheld. The governor has his duty to perform to the people, whose servant he is, and mayors of towns and cities have their duties to fulfill. Flagrant violations of the laws of the land should not go unchecked and unheeded. That there are gross violations of the liquor law in this city is self evident, and when anything is self evident does there need to be any argument for to prove it? But some may doubt about such a state of things being self evident. It is easy enough to find out the true state of affairs by the smallest amount of exertion in that direction. Are those who are elected to see that the laws are upheld and whose sworn duty it is to see that they are faithfully executed, so far above the common herd that they must not use any exertion whatever to find out'? Let those who {are in authority and have the power to bring violators of the law to justice, see that they perform their sworn duty for the good of the whole people and for the good of the morals of the city. Y. J. W.

Reserved For a More Glorious Fate. A report has been circulated to the effect that Mike Quinlan, Jack Brooch and Homer Steele, of this city, were lynched in Poplar Bluffs, Mo., the other day by angry railroad strikers whose places they had taken. The report lacks confirmation and is doubtless a fake. Mike especially, one would suppose, is reserved for a more glorious fate—say burning at the stake.

The report gained currency from a telegram purported to have been received by Ben Zachary, of this city, a brother-in-law of Broach. The telegram in question gf.- c. the facts as stated above, giving the time of the neck-tie party as Monday night and asking for money to send the body home. The St. Louis and other city papers are strangely mute on the subject and it is shrewdly surmised by the unsorrowing relatives of these foxy young men that they are endeavoring to make a stake by having their folks send money for the transportation of their cadavers. As a unique method of raising funds this plan stands alone.

Fined.

Special to Tlie Journal. DARI.INGTON, July 17.—Bill Wilson and Dave Eads drove over to Colfax last Sunday, and as they could not get anything to drink they took another young man named Shobe and drove over to Frankfort, where they got a saloon keeper to carry them a dozen bottles of beer in a coffee sack to a liverj' stable and place it in their buggy. Their treatment to a couple of small boys near Colfax on their return was outrageous and too vulgar and inhuman for publication. The Colfax Marshal came down Monday night and with the assistance of Marshal Milner and Deputies Moore and

Heffner they captured the young men and took them to Colfax, where they were each given a hearing on Tuesday. Dan Eads pleaded guilty and was fined 817.00, while Wilson and Shobe stood trial and got S30.00 each, for which they were unable to pay or stay. They were taken to jail at Frankfort. Eads paid his fine and returned home Tuesday evening.

A Numbering Machine.

THE JOURNAL COMPANY has purchased a numbering macliing which is to be used in paging blank books, numbering checks and stubs and similar work. We make this announcement so that our patrons may know that we are prepared to do this class of work. We propose to extend our facilities for printing until no one will have an excuse to send out of town for work in our line. We propose to be the recognized headquarters for printing in this part of Indiana.

Moved Again.

If it wasn't for the fact that W. M. Reeves always owns the property he occupies people might begin to believe that he is actuated by the principle that assures us that it is cheaper to move than to pay rent. Mr. Reeves always moves about ten times a year, and Wednesday moved to property on north Grant avenue. It is said that Billy's great-great-grandmother was a gypsy queen and the nomadic spirit has descended to him.

Struck 15y Lightning.

Weduesday about 2 o'clock everyone awake was startled and all asleep were awakened by a terrific crash of thunder. The attendant lightning struck the residence of Henderson Coleman, on east Jefferson street. The woodwork was torn and the plastering knocked off in places, but strangely enough no one was hurt.

X'opuligt Meeting.

On next Saturday there will be a meeting at the court house at 2 o'clock p. in. of persons who are in favor of the free coinage of silver and that it be remonteized. All are invited to attend said meeting.

THE OLD DE8ERTED MILL.

LFor THE JOURNAL.]

Nothing awakens more melancholy feelings than an old desertad mill. The once lively hum, the busy rumbling, the roar and splash of the merry water as it gurgles over the wheel as it groaning rolled around, giving life and animation to the whirling wheels within—all are hushed by the melancholy silence that is so painfully oppressive.

As we stand silently gazing on the fast decaying monument of past thrift, imagination carries us back to the busy days when the miller, covered with the white frost of the whirling wheels, was passing about among his machinery, that machinery so mysterious to boyhood's ever-prying eye. At the door a farmer has halted his team, his wagon laden with pillows of wheat, which he exchanges for pillows of flour.

Next comes a boy, astride a gentle old horse, across whose back rests a sack of wheat, for which the boy mutt wait to be converted into flour. Others are ahead of him and he must patiently or impatiently await his turn, and long, weary hours must be passed in waiting yet the boy it always equal to any emergency and the time is industriously passed in fishing in that millrace, so inviting to a boy. Perhaps, tiring of this sport, a bath in the cool waters follows, and no boy ever lived who did not enjoy swimming.

How busy was the old mill then! Hum, rattle, roar, with dust mingling in a happy song of contentment.

We stand there dreaming—dreaming of dajTs gone bv and the many incidents connected with the old mill. We remember the gentle admonitions of a loving mother as she smiles us goodbye as we stride the old horse and start off for the old mill. We recall the smile of welcome upon her face—the smile that banishes the anxiety that clouded her face in our absence.

Still we stand musing. As a panorama the past rolls before us and happy faces peep out from crack and cranny in the old mill, and faded forms, faded long ago. come back and revel in pleasures, long dead, whose ghosts still haunt the old mill.

How sad the old structure looks now! The window sash are broken, the doors off the hinges, the old wheel, broken and motionless, whispers a story of the dead past, buried in the oblivion of wrecked hopes and blasted joys.

We remember the boys we met there and the happy hours we spent in play, and in later years, on merry Sundays, we strolled along the mill race, down to the mill. Another was walking there too, with whose sunny curls• the sunshine became enamored, and the clear, blue sky in vain tried to vie with her eyes, and whose foot-fall was as gentle as the whispers that fell from her lips. Alas! the death^dews fell upon our lovely flower and the willow which droops over her grave whispers a moaning dirge, re-echoed by the silent old mill.

As we look upon the fast decaying wreck, scarce can we restrain the tears that rise unbidden, and a choking sob tells us how sweet are the memories surrounding the dear old mill. T.
