Corn is backward and a late fall will be necessary there to mature a great deal of it, the same as here. Many fields there, as here, never can make corn, it being too small to ever hope to mature.

The High Court Catholic Order of Foresters at its international meeting at St. Paul this week voted by a large majority to bar wholesale and retail liquor dealers and bartenders in saloons and other places where liquors are sold from becoming members of that body. This matter has come up heretofore at these' meetings bat has always been voted down until now. Hundreds and perhaps thousands of the members of this order are saloon keepers and bartenders, and the action taken is one of the severest blows to outlawing the liquor business ever administered, and practically every secret order in the country now bars this class of business. The report of the high secretary shows a total membership of 91,220 in the United States and 26,847 in Canada. ’Squire Favors the Whipping PostBrazil, Ind., Aug. 7.—While assessing a fine against Mongo Penman for assaulting bis wife, the defendant sashing a bucket of water on the woman and her 3-weeks-014 child, ’Squire Crouch expressed regret because of the absence of whipping pests In Indians.
