The cause of temperance would in our judgment be advanced if at this time state-wide prohibition should be adopted by our law makers. Decisive action would carry with it many advantages Clear cut resolves in the form of law has an impressiveneis all its own. It is educational in. the better way. There is a tonicity in it to public ! morals. The evil condemned by such statutes has its viciousness unoovered and it appears deeper dyed in its wrong Desi. It is a sort of schooling that has played an influential part in all- moral reforms. In the case under diicussion there is little or no reason for delay. It is coming. The people are last becoming unanimous in purpose to rid themselves of the evils of whiskey. Presbyterian Standard. There are yet other good and sufficient reasons why our law makers should not hesitate in this matter. The people voted by a large majority for absolute prohi bition. This vote removed all doubt as to the course a member of the legislature should pursue in regard to the further needed legislation on the subject ; but, if this was not true, the interests and harmony of our people de mand that the matter be settled. So long as the law is not complete and emphatic just so long will the wet and dry question remain a matter for strife, political bicker ingsmd a business depressant. We understand that these so cial clubs now scattered all through the towns and counties, although pretending to do busi ness within the bounds of the law, are in reality doing business on the same basis as the regular sa loon, whiskey even being sold by the drink at the old price of ten cents to nearly all comers. Such a statement of affairs breeds crime, creates contempt for law and order and small wonder it is the superficial observer condemns prohibition, while of course thinking people, the law-makers, judges and others, know the trouble lies in the weakness of the law. It does not go far enough, but it should close theBe places and now is the time, for the good of all, to do so. There has been several deaths and numerous drunks recently by men who neither ordered whiskey nor are they members of these olubs, yet they go to these clubs, get whiskey, get drunk and com mit crimes, and it doesn't take a judge of the supreme conrt to understand where the trouble is . It is greatly desired therefore, that the clubs be refused any longer existence. We consider the sale of near beer a very harm less matter in comparison with the clubs. Give the people what they voted for, absolute prohibi tion. Hearj Smith, Escaped Conilct, Captured. Sheriff MoKenzie received a message from the authorities - at Norfolk Thurday, saying they had in charge a negro man who ib supposed to be John Poe, who killed his wifee in Spencer some months ago, or Henry Smith, a convict who escaped from the chain sane .

But cattle like all of Boveta. They lick the trough like MJack Spratt" and his wife did the platter they lick the corners clean. Chtarrh Cannot be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh isja blood or con stitutional disease, and in order to cure it yon most take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous sur faces. Hall's Catarrh Cure it not a quack medicine. It was pre scribed by one of the best physi cians in this country for years and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The per fect combination of the two in gredients is what produces such wonderful results in curing Catarrh. Send for testimonials free, F. J. Cheney, Props.. Toledo, O. SDld by all druggists, 75.
