The Juhuston u Horror. Alter corwilering all the eviut;u( in connection with the Johnstown u irrtir the coroner' jury finally rendered the following venlii-t: we, the uniierxiiruw. a lury of in quest eni8irielled to investigate the cause of the dwitb of Ellen Hite on the 31st thy of May, after bearing the testi mony, do find that hllen Hite came to twr death from drowning ,aivl the drown ing was caused by the breaking of the South Fork dam. We further find from the testimony aud wiut we saw on the ground tlwt tliere was not a sullicient outlet for waste water, nor was the dam constructed sufficiently strong uor of proper material to withstand the over flow, und here we find the owners of said darn were culpable in not making it o.h safe as siuhihI luive iieen uone, esjiec lally in view of the fact that a pop ulation of many thousands were in the valley Mow. We hold that the owners are ryMK.nsihle for the fearful loss of life ami prorly resulting from the breaking of the dam. How Nebraska Has Vrrel. KriMiutitt Tribune.

Resolved, Tliat this Union tenders it warmest sympathies to our dear Bis ter, and expresses the wish tliat the af flicted parents may be comforted by the thoucht tliat little Florence is not. lost to them, but only gone before, into the realms of neace and inv. Kesolved, Tliat this expression of. re gard should be spread upon the records of the society, and olfered for publica tion in our local newspapers. Iu view of the fact tliat the Omalia Bee and pilars of tliat order, claim so per sistently the truth of one side of an im portant question, we oiler no apology for presenting testimony upon the other side of the same, i e, "Iloes Prohibition Pro hibit?" Albeit, as in this instance, we merely reproduce the same ideas which we liave presented before, but from a ditleretit source, holding that our evi dence, coming from different personali ties, is thus made cumulative. The sub joined article was handed in by a co worker for publication and we gladly en dorse it: A centleman writing to tlie Spring field, Mass., Homestead rceently said: ' All that law can possibly do, or that it claims to do, is to place commands up on the people and provide penalties lor the law breakers. A hatever thett u punished the law against it is enforced People will steal, but why do they do it in secret? Because the law is enforced. i hivo honnl wrmlfi sav: "Look at Iowa.
