Looks Like Temperance People

Had Got The Saloon Down Again In The Second Ward. The aspect of matters have changed somewhat since Saturday, in the fight against McCord’s application for a saloon license in the second ward. One new developement was the rerfioval from the ward, Saturday evening, of Mr. Kain, one of the signers of the remonstrance. It was claimed in some quarters that this removal would invalidate Kain’s signature on the remonstrance, but this effect is denied by the opponents of the saloon. A much more important developement is the discovery that, according to two recent decisions of the Supreme Court, the four re- ’ monstrators who withdrew their nameS have not done so legally, and must still be counted on the remonstrance. These cases are State vs. Gerhardt, in 145th Indiana; and State vs. Prifogle, in North East Reporter, for Nov. 1896. In both these the court states very plainly that signers desiring to withdraw from a remonstrance must do so before the beginning of Friday before the first day of the commissioners’ court. In the light of these decisions it looks like the remonstrators would have a clear majority in the ward, even if every other known contention of the applicant is decided in his favor. But the applicant's attorneys are not ready to give up the fight yet, even on this point, and they also claim that several names on the remonstrance can be shown to be illegal signers.

Northwest M. E. Conference.

Elaborate preparations are being made for the entertainment of the northwest Indiana conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, which meets in forty sixth annual session in Lebanon, Sept. 7th, and continues through Sept. 14th. Dr. H. A. Tucker, pastor of the Lebanon M. E. church, and a committee of competent workers have the preliminary arrangements well in hand. Ample arrangements have been made for the entertainments! a large crowd. Dr. Tucker estimates that the attendance will not be less than 500. The fact that Dr. J. G. Campbell, the conference railroad secretary, has not been able to secure reduced railroad rates, may cut down the attendance somewhat. The northwest conference includes about thirty counties in the north and west part of the state. The number of ministerial members of the confer-

ence is 214, divided as follows: Superannuates, 26;fsupernumeraries, 7: effective elders, 109: effective deacons, 18; probationers, 19; candidates for admission, 11; supplies, 24. The total number of members and probationers in the conference is 40,337, while the membership of the Sunday schools is 41,855. This year the interest is increased on account of the large number of vacancies made in the leading pulpits of the district. Among them are the First church of Terre Haute, First church of South Bend, St. Paul’s of Lafayette, College avenue of Greencastle, and the Crawfordsville and the Frankfort churches. Three presiding elders will also be appointed.

Signs of Bicycle Eiders.

To lend your wheel is a sign you will quarrel with a friend. To read the advertisement of newly invented painless saddles is a sign you will die poor and despised. To be chased by a yellow dog with a head like a cook stove and a mouth like a cellar presages a bad fall. To puncture a tire ten miles from home is a sign that you will have a spavin on your left hind hoof. To see a red-headed woman wearing green bloomers is a sign your rim will split unless you say “Kokalo” and throw a bale of hay over your left shoulder. To fail to pay the regular weekly installment is an ill omen, and it means that you will meet with a dark man who will afford you much trouble and inconvenience.

Old Veterans Rapidly Passing Away.

Gen. Jasper Packard, writing about the grand parade of the G. A. R. at Buffalo, says in one of his I letters to his paper, the New Ali bauy Tribune: I “The soldier can but notice now with I something of sadness the change in . the personnel of the men who attend now and of those who were the forI mer leaders of the army. Only a few years ago Grant and Sherman were to be seen at these great gatherings, and Sheridan and Hancock, the superb, and the gallant Logan, j a Diomed of war. These are all gone, gone over to the great majority; and others with them, beloved lof men and of the nation; Thomas and Slokum and Hovey and Custer I and still more, no longer with us but I whose tents are pitched, where they shall ever remain, “On fame’s eternal grounds.” Death has indeed I greatly decimated the ranks of the gallant men who saved the Union from destruction.
