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.

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. The proliihitory law is not en
forced tliere. Liquor is still sold there.
Better license it and get wliat money
