THE UNLICENSED SALOONS

The Movement of the Police Conmeiifletf By Licented Saloon-Keepers. "We are greatly indebted to the police, said a well-known saloon-keeper this morning, "for inaugurating the movement to suppress those men who are violating the law by doicg an illegitimate business. They have profited by it long enough. The Liquor -Dealers' Association has jtaken steps several times with a viafw to running them out, but a more potent agency for the suppression ate the police. The police department was provided ft shoit while ago with a list of the licensed saloons in the oounty, taken direct from the Auditor, and from that they [have gained the knowledge of who is doing a square business Sad who is not PpOple generally do not appear to realize how much injury these men do us, and suppression will be received .wir' liveliest satisfaction by those who lag a tegular business."

Let us then my Democratic brethren begin our woi ali along the line.

It is a theory that we have advocated for years but have never been jable to see it carried out.

Our late worthy citiaea, Bill Hicks, found out to, his great sprxow what Clay County justice was, and now another man has got a taste of it. Joe White, who blew open a sale at Stiuntdh, and who was apprehended ie this, eity through the efforts of Chiei Fasig and Detertite DWyer, has been on at Brazilsi^ee Friday. *fhe jury went out at five o'citwk yesterday evening aad at 3:80 this morning agreed on a verdict of six years in the penitentiary and a fine ot 70. The prosecution was ably and vigorously conducted by Samuel Gregory, prosecutor of Clay county, and the defense was skilfully managed by B. R. Hamill, of this citr, assisted by Hr. Guthrie, of Clay. Some of the jury were in favor ol inflicting a much heavier penalty. The defense endeavored to establish an alabi—the presence ot the prisoner at Bomany, a little place near Crawfofdsville. The case was worked up jby Chief. Fasig and Detective' Dwyer, who are to be complimented on the energy they displayed $nd the success that met their efforts to bring a desperate criminal to justice.

It will take a two-thirds vote of the shares to increase the slock. The capital stock will, I suppose, be increased, but I do not know that $5,000 or any other sum has been selected upon."

THE GOOSE BONE.

R. ShewMker Claims That His 6oose Bone Has Read the Weather Correctly. "It seems tame, Mr. Shewmaker," said the writer to U. R. Shewmaker Saturday morning "that you said last Fall ydur goose bone predicted a mild open winter." "So it did but I call this gentleman to witness I predicted the fore part «f the winter would be open, because the front part of the bone was oloudy but that the rest of the bone was clear aad white and

that we would later have cold

weather and snow.'' One of the beauties of the muskrat hole theory is that it is impossible to prove it wrong. The muskrat stays in the water, but cannot live there. He goes into his hole underwater but crawls up above the water Where he sleeps. Some say the muskrat builds this mound high when it i? going to be a cold winter so that he will be covered too deep for the earth to freeze down to him others so that he can mount above any possible rise of water. But, since it is the open winters with rain and slush that raise the wsters and not tbe cold weather, there a& two horns to the dilemma.

This fall the mounds were high which the wily weather prophet can interpret either way and prove it will be either cold, or mild and rainy just as—as it happena to turn out. m»•» ts&ii Pralrietoe Paragraphs.

Very unfortunately the following proclamation from the Salvation Army reached the GAZETTE too late for publication Saturday, or it would have been printed then: "noris.

Old Mr. Jones aad Bill Watkins w&e bas Been holding meetings Every Night this week with Much Sucksens have Moved to tbe Lower room on the first ftoure in A large Room where all Can Be A Commadated in the Sincleare house W9 in Yite all well Disposed people to Come Next Sunday at 10 o'clock we Expt Brother Garno with us Next Week."

Tbe Army held meetings yesterday at ten and two, and last night, beginning at 7:30. The benches, the tables, the chairs and the hymn books were all carted down stairs to the lew quarters by the man who has been appointed special policeman over tbe forty families or more wL inhabit the big tenement building. TlArmy's present position is nearer tbe enemy than the former one, and thus much more perilous. It borders on the alley back ot the building that opens out from a yawning gulf ot sin.

Last night the room was crowded. The air was close and b.ad, the ceiling low, and the lamp lights threw a dull glare over the motley assemblage but the ardor of the faithful was great, and. (touted out familiar hymns with as mucb zest as if they were in Paradise. Mrs** Smith, a spectacled lady who cfpiased a man.ior aboard bill pot long ago end then wanted him held for breach of promise, ted occasionally in a high itite ke^ and once when she suddenly broke down after she had climbed up to a pitch that nearly broke the drum ot one's ear, the vulgar smong the faithful laughed at the, Sister's discomfiture. Many of those who attended were young men whd went to see what was going on. Once, while a man in a faded coat and black griszly hair was telling with slow faltering voice, his experience ard how much he loved Jesus, some M. person stock his head in tbe doorway and shouted out excitedly:

(tCome

out and see the tun." The spec­

tators, who were onto the lingo, knew fhe "fun" meant a fight and they adjourned precipitately and with noise enough to drown the speaker's voice a hundred fathoms, for the sidewalk, where Clay Jaycox and a couple rother sinful young men were pummelling one another for dear life. For awhile the fight proved, the greater attraction and tbe Salvation Army's meeting looked as lonesome as a horse without its oats. The fight being over, the meeting was, again invaded and found the brother who was tearfully telling his experience, 4 and Who hadn't been phased at all by '. the interruption, still talking. The re- «. manning Irethren, after enduring it for-, a long time, took advantage of one ot his long stops between sentences and' set tbe choir to going, whereat tbe windy brother sat himself down. Lewis A. Guerineau directed the meeting and called on tbe soldiers to speak. Mrs.. Dunn, who keeps a restaurant north of' the room where the meeting'was held, is' down on the Army. She said she won! like to have half a dozen persons come iti last night while the meeting was going on and order steak. She said she would put tbe steak right up against the wooden partition that separates the two rooms and pound it until her arms gave out.
