In tlie commissioners court yesterday that body decided in favor | of the remonstrators and against the saloon applicant from lloachjdale. Their decision in effect is that a petition directed against > any single applicant is good if it has the requisite number of signers and also that men who sign a petition cannot remove their names. There were several questions and fine law points raised over the case. The decision is opposite to the one Judge Robb rendered at Williams port but it is in line with other equally as good decisions. It looks as if the course of the commission ers is a wise one. If a remonstrance signed by a majority of the voters of a township i^ to be of any force and filed with the auditor three days before the session of the commissioners it should be a finality. This thing of a lot of fellows signing a remonstrance and then petitioning to have their names re moved is a foolish baby game that men should not indulge in. It is double dealing, and misleading people. When the petitioners haye a

Make the importers of foreign goods pay the American custom duties upon tbeir goods in gold coin. This will increase the amount of gold in the treasury. This year, to October 3l, less than one-fifth of one per cent, of the| entire amount of money received j through our custom Houses was paid in gold coin. But the foreign manufacturers compel us to pay for their goods iu gold coin while they don’t even pay us the amount of the duty levied upon

them in gold.

Attorney Mooke brought out a atrong law point yesterday in his argument for the remonstrators before the county commissioners. In substance be said that the commissioners had no jurisdiction in granting an applicant liquor license if a majority of the voters of a township file a remonstrance against tlie same stating that the law says in substance: “If three days before any regular session of the commisNioncrs a remonstance signed by a majority of the legal voters of the township shall be filed with the

enough. But if a number remove their names after filing the petition then the purpose of the petition will be defeated, and the filers of it will be misled. A man should stand by his signature to a petition and after he once signs it. especially where a few withdrawals would deteat the will of two hundred who had thought themselves

safe.

The commissioners today held court in the circuit court room as the sheriff’s office was too small. The name of each petitioner was gone over and the question of his residence sworn to by neighbors and parties who carried the remon strances. This took a great deal of time but it was necessary in order to establish the validity of the petition. Commissioners Bridges and Talbott have so far ruled in favor of the remonstrators and Commissioner Farmer in favor of granting license. The Franklin petition was postponed until tomormorrow morning in order to prove

up on signatures.

The Washington township case came up this afternoon. Attorneys Moore are for the remonstrators and Lewis & Corwin representing tlie applicant Neese. The petition its signed was filed Aug. 25, before the September term of commissioners and is not in words a remonstrance, but is headed. “We peti tion the board of commissioners

THE GREAT $ SAVING SALE. THE: MODEL: CEOTK: HOUSE. F. A. HAYS.

Evidence of Pardon. Evangelist Boyer talked on the above subject last night to »n audience that reached to the doors. He said; "A student from the university asked me, ‘•How may one know when he is saved?” I don’t wonder that people ask the question. Our happiuesH in the world to come depends upon our being saved; our happiness here depends upon our knowing that we are saved. • . There is a way to be saved. (a) “Thou shall call His name Jesus. He shall save His people from their sins.” (b) "I am come to seek and to save.” (c) "Christ came into the world to save sinners.” II. Salvation is conditional. (a) “Blessed are they who do His comm and merits.'’ (b) "Not every one that sayelh Lord, Lord, but He that doetli.” III. There are *hree possible sources of information, as to .he conditions. (a) God Himself, without any mediator between Him and Man. (b) The experience of our fellowmen. (c) The teachings of the Bible. IV. What are tlie conditions of pardon in the Bible? (1) Pentecost is the Plymoutli Rock of the church. Here the conditions were first announced. We all go back there. Preachers pray for a "second Pentecost.” Peter said to the pierced throng who cried out, “What shall we do”, "Ropetit every one of In the name of Christ, for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” V. After having done ihese things to sav, "How may I know I am saved, is infidelity to Jesus. (i) “The Spirit beareth witness not to my spirit but with my spirit that I urn saved.” You ask how? I answer, the spirit of God announce* through the Bible the conditions. Your spirit is conscious of having •beyed. Then God’s spirit and your spirit testify to the fact of your being sav ed. A falsehood will produce the same feeling as the truth, provided the falsehood is believed to be true. A man feels he is saved when he confesses to to a Catholic priest. But lie isn’t. Pardon doesn't take place in us but in God's mind, iu the skies. It is announced iu the Bible, not in the air. or in the soul. The "Dark Ages” will be the subject tonight. For inflammation of the stomach or bowels, and for hemorrhage, Brarilian Balm is a soverign remedy.

Tk« New Count? Jail. Brazil Enterprise The time for the completion of the new jail has expired and the uncovered walle stand a monument to the indifference and procrastination of the contractors. The building could have been completed two months ago bad there been any energy displayed The cost of transporting and feeding prisoners at Greencastle has been heavy on the county and a dead loss to the sheriff. J. R. Payne will not make a dollar this year on this account. If the commissioners do not bold back damage from the builders they will fail in their duty to the I taxpayers.
