Another Freak of Imagination.

J. Fred Hoiliater of Mishawaka, one day last week ordered that the big stock of tobacoo and oigars in bis store be destroyed. He oarried the largest line of this olass of goods among local meroh&nts, bnt was prompted to barn it all on aoeonnt of religions convictions, While in California Hollister says he received a divine message instructing him to cease using tobacco and discontinue its sale. He claims that no person using or selling tobacoo in anv form oan enter the kingdom of heaven. His wife, who was dying of oonsnmptioc. is again healthy and strong, as the result of a mysterious agency which both olaim was providential. She was cared at a religions tent meeting and Hollister, at the same time, he says, had oonveyed to him the startling mandate against tobacco.
