Big Heads.
A few days ago a traveling man told one of our clothing merchants that there were more hig hats sent to Greencastle from the bat factories than to any other town c f its size in the United States. If big heads are a sign of intellect, surely Putnam county has more brains per capita than many of our windy neighbors
The Holy Sepulcher.
On Tuesday night of the 22nd of Octtober Senator D. W. Voorhees will deliver in Mehrry Hall a lecture entitled“The HolySepe]cher”an argument in defense of Cnristionity from the standpoint of one who has had large experience in the study and practice of law Like many other eminent public men, Sneator Voorhees lias had his doubts and perplexities on the subject of religion. There have been times when tie seemed to be very sceptical in regard to the genuineness and authenticity of the Scriptures, and there were other times when the teachnigs of the Bible seemed to be the only adequate source of consolation and guidance in great bereavements. This lecture will dobtless create a great impression and will he the means of strengthening the faitli in the divinity of Christ of many practical minds not usually influenced much by the pulpit. The entire community look tot ward to the occasion with great interest and it is expected that Meharry Hall will be greatly crowded to hear thisaddress. Senator Voorhees is not seeking to make money out of this lecture. The entire proceeds of the lecture will be given to the Alumnie fund of the University. The senator is a graduate of the class of ‘46. In order to afford an opportuni ty for everybody to hear the lecture the price of admission has been placed at a very low figure. The general admission fee is only 25 cts. and reserved seats, 35 cts. It will be a credit to Greencastle if on the first deliverance of this address there is a crowded audience to meet the distinguished
senator of our state.

Brandt’s bar is in June's restaurant, or. at least, the business is carried on in the.same room as the restaurant. Because of this fact the authorities hold ihat June cannot keep his restaurant open afte • 11 o’clock, the time the bars must close under the Nicholson law. Homer June was the person admitted to the
room.
The State held that the fact that a person other than the propi ietor or member of his family entered the room after hours was primn facie evidence of a violation of the law. The attorneys for the defense moved to quash the affidavit and Judge Stubbs sustained the motion after a lengthy opinion, part of
which is given as follows:
‘‘Counsel for the defendant have filed a motion to quash the information upon th** ground that it does not state a public nflense mid have raised two mieat-ions • n T^a* .he act >8 prospective and not retroactive, and (3| that sec. 3 of the act is repugnant to art 4 sec. 19, of the constitution of the, State o'In-
diana.^
"So far as the first poiut is concerned, I do not think it tenable. It mav be conceded that the general rule 'or tho interpretation of statutes requires tnat every statute must be construed as prospective, except (1) where the legislative intent is that it shall act retroactively is expressly declared. or (2i where the statute would be wholly inoperative unless ci.uAtruiol a.-, letioaccive. she. lOui’tlie Nicholson law provoles that all the provisions of the act shall apply to persons, places and sales o, liquors, whether conducted uuder the law of the State of Indiana, or b" virtue of any law of the United States, evidently meaning that it should be construed with the la-.vi. then iu e. istoncc coacerning the sale of in-
toxicating liquors.
‘‘The second point in the motion to quash raises a m- re serious question. The constitut.ona! pi -.-iRion Is (art. 4, sec. Kh: ’Every act shall ei race hut one subject, and mat-te.-s prone -ty connected therewita, which subject aha be expressed iu the title.
