To Fight the Saloon. 4, number of Kokomo people have formed an organization to fight the saloons. The Fastors’ Association have issued a call for a mass meeting next Tuesday evening to arrange to start the crusade. They have issued invitations to a large number of other places so that they will help stir up the masses. The Republicans still keep up the howl about Governor Matthews holding the costodian bill lor a while. ’1 bey want to make the people believe they bad a right, to bold the passage of the same uptitl the close of the session, and then rush the same through and ask him to sign the “ same without time to read it or study it over, but he was equal to the emergency, and had they done their duty after it was vetoed they could have passed it over his veto, but they preferred a disgarceful row instead of calm, quiet work to pass the bill over the veto. The disgraceful scene did not decide the fate of the bill. The i courts will have to be appealed to i in order to determine whether the same is a law. St. Patrick’s Day was observed by our Irish friends here in a quiet way. The wearing of the greeu | was about all the demonstration that was to be seen.

Marshalltown, la., March 16.—Two youths, Claude Maede, late of this city, and Ralph Harding escaped from the custody of the state reform school officers at Fedora Wednesday afternoon.

The booty obtained consisted of $722.85 in money and railroad checks and three gold watches. The robbers told their frightened victims that they were the remnants of the Cook gang. A posse is after them. THE EXTREME PENALTX. Negro Assailant of a Virginia Woman Sentenced to lining.

Vacaville, Cal., March 16. — The damage done in this vicinity by the unusual heavy frosts will not fall much short of $225,000. The c apricot crop has been almost totally destroyed, probably not 00 tons remaining. Early cherries that would have been on the market in two weeks are all gone; The late varieties are thought to be all right as they are only Juki blossoming. The almond crop, which was advanced about ths same as the apricot, is ruined. It is impossible to determine at the present just what damage has been done to peaches as they are just going out of the bloom and do not show as plainly. This is also true of plums and prunes. '

OTffIED W fflllßCH Angry Mob of Poles Endeavor to Provent the l&rving of Mass. DISPERSED BY THE POLICE Difficultly Which Grew Up Over an ObJeotlon to a Rcaarreetloalat Father Officiating ae Priest—Chattering Crowd of SOO March to the Ohnroh—Several Arreata Made. Chicago, March 16.—About 200 angry Poles, men .and women, stormed St. Hedwig's Catholic church at North Hoyne avenue and Kosciusko street. Five policemen who were on guard were oowe<l by the mob, but on ti e arrival reinforcements the footers were crix-in off. There has been trouble in St Hedwig's parish for many weeks. I’uiher Herzanski was driven out three weeks apo and at that time the police were called upon to protect the church property. Father Barziuski belonged to the order of Resurrectionist Fathers, and it was to this that the objection was made for some reason. Archbishop Feehan sent Father Szydiaczyk to the church, but when it was discovered that he, too, was a Resurrectionist he was rejected. March to the Clnirch. The church was closed and locked for two weeks, and the parishioners determned to oppose the reopening of the edifice. Early in the day the Poles began pouring into the church hall and when abont 200 had arrived the march to the church, about three blocks away,was taken up. Four abreast the excited, chattering body* of men and women marched, denouncing the priest, and declaring that they would prevent him from serving mass. A constable had telephoned for the police as soon as the mob appeared, and in a few minutes two patrol wagons loaded with officers were driven up to the church on the run. The orders were then given to the police to draw their revolvers and use them if necessary to clear the church. The angry crowd stood for a moment, when 40 policemen with glittering guns in their hands inarched into the church. Captain Rehm ordered the intruders to leave the church, and some of the Polish officers informed the mob. in their native tongue, that the police had orders to shoot. That settled it, and a moment later the crowd broke and fled from the church. The police arrested Josie Lowandowski and her son Anton, who seemed to-be ringleaders, and search is being made for the woman’s husband. After the church was cleared the priest celebrated mass under guard of a detail of police. COAL MINERS’ STRIKE. Situation Remains Unchanged—Railroad Operators Still Closed Up. Pittsburg, March 16. —There appears to be no change in the miners’ strike. The mines which have resumed work are still operated and no new. ones have started up. Captain John F. Dravo, secretary of the Pittsburg coal exchange, which is composed of the river operators, said that the river operators would continue to run for six weeks yet, and longer if the condition of trade warranted it. All the river crafts are being loaded and there will be 15,000,030 bushels ready for shipment to southern ports. The railroad operators remain firm in their determination to pay no more than 55 cents per ton. Died a L'-gal Death. Perry, O.

DtsitL P. Tkbtzr, Ext’r. Decatur. Ind.. March. 4, 1806. R> 8. Peterson, Att’v. 61-8 A DENIAL. Mr. Graber, the superintendent of the county asylum takes this method to deny the statement that some unscrupulous persons are circulating in regard to a dance being held at the county infirmary house since the same has passed under his care. He feels that the report has been started for the purpose of injuring him in the way he conducts the business of looking after the unfortunates entrusted to his care. He deeply feels the effects the scurilous report may have upon him and wishes to say to one and all th it the report is false. There is another report that some one has started on him that is the extravagant manner in which he started the machinery to move. This he says is like the other one, false. While be had to buy a large quantity of provisions when he flrst took charge of the infirmary, this was because the former superintendent did not leave a large amount on hand Os course he finds no fault with Mr. Haefling for keeping his expense bill as low as possible so as to make a fair showing, but. it compelled Mr. Graber to buy heavy at once to supply over 40 inmates, the hired help and his own family. He makes this statement in justice to himself and family with the hope that the public will suspend judgment until the quarterly report in June. Then if things are not as they should be, to say to the commissioners, What is wrong?

The army will be divided, and the fnvadlfig force will attempt to reach Moscow. It comes somewhat as a shock to learn from London News that the law in Merry England pays no heed to the tradition of the mistletoe bough. A Mr. Chant has been fined ten shillings for kissing a girl under the mistletoe against her wHJ, although he pleaded In extenuation that “a lot of people had kissed his wife there, and he’d not made a fuss about it.” The Boston Transcript says that of the 146 Inhabitants of the little town 1 of Chilmark, on the island of Martha’s Vineyard, thirty-six, or almost exactly one-quarter, are congenitally ’ deaf and dumb. The town records show that two of the original settlers of the place, away back in the Seveni teenth Century, were deaf and dumb, and the, Infirmity has thus been transmitted to our own day. The New York Mercury, In speaking of the indignation of a large class . of citizens over the liberal views of Mayor Strong on the Sunday liquor question, recalls the fact that 100 years ago the vaults or spaces under i 1 churches and chapels were often let to wino merchants, and the rents substantially helped the church revenues. The last church basement s< used was 1 that of the ArgsU~£ha'i>el, at Bath, ‘ England. ... ..... .
