ROSELAWN AND THAYER TO BE "DRY.”

Kentland, Ind., February 4.—A blanket remonstrance was filed in the commissioners court of Newton county which will close six in* Lincoln township. The little towns of Roselawn and Thayer are in Lincoln township, and being located on the Kankakee river, have become the rendezvous of hunters and sports from Chicago. The saloons therefore, observed no laws whatever. Fights and brawls were of daily occurrence, and the court docket is kept filled with crises from those towns growing out of the illegal sale of liquor or of other charges traceable to the saloons. The temperance people had a hard struggle to carry the remonstrance, but were successful by eight majority.
