LKIUOIi LEAGUE REPORT.
Nicholson Law Has Driven Severn IIundred Saloons Out of liiisineBH.
The executive committee of the State Liquor League met Tuesday afternoon at Indianapolis and heard the report of Secretary Callen, which will be submitted to the meeting of the league Sept. 17. The report shows that 700 saloons have been driven out of existence by the Nicholson law and claims, on the other hand, that the manufacture of intoxicants in the State has increased, as has also the importation of liquors. Mr. Callen draws from this that the law is being evaded by persons who are selling without liquor licenses. He points out that by the reduction in the number of saloons the school fund has been materially crippled and some counties have been "obliged to shorten the school term. The report concludes from this that it would be better to allow saloons to run openly and pay a fair license than to legislate them out of business when the legislation did not serve as a stop to the sale of liquor.

Under the wise and efficient pastorate of Dr. Leech the church has met every claim for ministerial support, increased its benevolences and taken higher grounds in every way. At the close of the regular business the conference, by unanimous vote, petitioned the annual conference, which meets this week atTerre Haute, for the return of Dr. Leech the coming year. It also requested the bishop to continue Dr. Cissel as presiding elder of the district. Dr. Leech has greatly endeared himself to the church and the good people of this city during the past year. His profound scholarship, eloquent sermons, social qualities, excellent judgment and Christian sympathy have made him universally popular throughout the city and his return will be gladly welcomed by everybody.

The last meeting was a financial success and the association now has on hand a balance of §200 with which to pay the interest on the debt carried. The auditing committee will not make its final report until the annual meeting of the board of managers is held. The board will meet soon after the annual session of the Northwest Indiana M. E. conference.
May Give Up the Pulpit.
Frankfort Crcnucml: Rev. M. W. Harkins, formerly pastor of the Christian church here, but now located at Anderson, may, on the advice of his physician, give up his pulpit. If he decides to do so, he will very likely return here, purchase a farm, which he is said to be now figuring on, and do outdoor work for a while. He will not give up preaching altogether, but will have no regular charge, and will preach wherever he is asked to come. In this it will not be necessary to study so hard and he can take a much needed rest from his mental labors.

SAM GRIMES' VICTORY.
He Kntom the ltig ltoad
Khoa
at Indiana
polis and Gobbled Kotli Frlzefl,
Sam Grimes, of Brazil, a son of Joseph Grimes, of this city, made a great record in the Indianapolis road race Monday. No one ever knew that Sam was/much of a wheelman until he won a prize over at Marshall, III., a few days ago, and when he entered the White Cycle Club road race at Indianapolis, most people thought he had his nerve with him. He did. The race was a big affair and there were sixty-three entries. Some had a handicap of as much as seven minutes and Sam had four minutes start of the scratch men. Ho gave the whole field a shock by not only winning the race but the time prize as well, finishing the course of over 13 miles two seconds less than anyone else. His time was 37 minutes and 7 seconds. The
Indianapolis News speaking of the finish says: ,• "Down the road came the winner of the race—S. M. Grimes, of Brazil. He was tired and dirty, but was sprinting all the way. He did not dare loaf, for clo%8 behind him came Krosckeske, a six-minute man L. 0. Watson, four minutes, and E. Raymond, all closely bnnclied. An interval of a couple of seconds and another bunch of riders came sprinting down the street. "After the race the officials got together and began figuring on the time. It was found much to the surprise of everyone, that Grimes had not only won the race, but that he had also taken the time prize as well, and carried off all the honors of the race, Grimes is from Brazil. He won a big road race near Terre Haute last week, but was not considered much of a rider before that time, as he had never done any road racing. Grimes is, however, an old rider, having been on a wheel for twelve years. The first prize was an Outing wheel and the time prize a White wheel. Both of these go to Grimes. Pierce, who started from the one-minute mark, was only 2tf seconds behind him.".
A llorse Story.
Quite a remarkable story, illustrative of the sagacity and fellow feeling existing among horses, is related by Ed Cotton. Several years ago his uncle, over in Boone county, had an old horse which he prized highly, as he had ridden the faithful animal through the war, he being in the cavalry service. The old war horse was a prime favorite with everybody and everything on the farm and even the horse Hies had respect enough for the old chap to let him alone. ^The other
horEes
were especially respect
ful and lavished horsey attentions on their aged and distinguished companion on every possible occasion. The old fellow attained the remarkable age of forty-three years and died on the anniversary of a great battle in which he lost .his tail. A cannon ball from the enemy's guns is said to have carried the animal's tail away while his command was charging the battery. But that is neither here nor there. The old fellow, when it came his time to join the innumerable caravan, walked out to a. favorite spot in the woods and lying down upon abed of moss and leaves gave up the ghost. The other horses stood about and received, perhaps, the blessing and parting admonitions of the passing patriarch. When the dead horse was found by his owner it was decided to bury him elsewhere and a stout team of the horses that had witnessed their fellow's death was employed to drag him away. Both horses, however, absolutely refused to pull. Tears actually welled up in their eyes and one of the horses, with a look that was mutely eloquent, turned about in the harness and coming close up to the p."d body of their war scarred hero began digging in the soft earth with his forefoot, at the same time whinnying piteously as though endeavoring to plead with the men to bury the dead one there. So manifest was the sign that the plea was granted and while the grave was being dug the horses on the farm gave every evidence of gratification and pleasure by snorting, kicking up their heels f»nd cavorting about in short circles. No one witnessing the strange performance doubts in the least but that the dying horse manifested to them his desire to be buried where he died.
