They are RB follows : E. L. Griffin , oi
Decatur , who recently committed ni-
cide by shooting himself , was a mar
ried man , a harbor by trade , and hac
rbeen living in the plaoo a number ol
years.- Some two years ago whllo un
der the Influence of liqoor he stabbed
a man , and when bailed out of jail
promised his , bondsmen-that he wonlc
never again get drunk. They told him
that if he got , drunk before trial they
would withdraw from his bond and
turn him over-to.the authorities. He
did not1 drink any more then , and repeatedly -
peatedly told his friends that if he
ever got drunk again ho would shoot
.himself. His triaTpassed , also more
than a year of prosperous , jkado ,
and his , old 'Miabit began
Greening back upon 'him. ' A saloon
stood close to his chop , and he said
he-could not keep from It while it
was always under.hls nose. Some
days before the tragedy ho took i
reckless spree , and was , jnct recover
ing from the same'when on Friday
evening ho Bad a quarrel with his
partner. ' Going home to his family
he got ; hia revolvercsat ! down , in &
chair and took hts.wifd.upon his knee.
He said his.life was a failure and he
would rather dlo.thanlivo a.drunkard.k .
He-told Very ; minutely OTerythirig In

of "Iho pistol , , agalast his head ! and

A bovine-monstrosity'.vas shown
me at Herman , by Mr. John Lang , ol
that place. It was , the double head
of a calf 'with a , single .horn In the
center' ' over two inches long. The
.mother cf the unborn calf died , and
was opened to ascertain the cause ol
her death. Air. Lang told mo that
the feel of the. calf were like mules'

that ofi a male , andlhe other that of
a female. . r Each' head'is , provided
with awoll-fonned"nbse ! , haVa tongue
and two'eyes , but'only one. ear can be
seen. jTheltwo" heads''are sp grown
together thn&the"innerhornstmetahd ;
the horn'm&ttor.bebg appropriated for
two horns a'horn of premature growth
was produced in the. centre of the

The Blorm now raging la .reported
very disastrous'to the interests of the

Boston .Dispatch. , " "
A severe shaking was given the pro
hibltion population of this city by
Chancellor Crosby , of . .New 'York ,
whose turn It was In the Monday lee
tureshlp. .Dr. Crosby's' ' vigorous en
forcement in.New York of his pecu
liar vloKB on the subject of temper
ance has made him'more'prominent "of
late years than his eminent scholgstio
-attainments , and has.aroused , X tern-
post'about his ears which his utter
ances : to-'day will-Intensify. "A Calm
Yiew of Temperance" was the subject
which he announced , and from the
text ho placed himself in antagonism
with the principles of total absti
nence , as advocated by what he termed
"the propaganda , " and 'against those
principles , but not those who advanced
ho. fought a battle of words.
During the 'noon hour ho said the
word "temperanca" has been violently
wrested from its legitimate use. The
public has learned to consider the
radical use ol the term as applied by.
the propaganda of the total abstinence
doctrine. There are thousands of
worthy citizens "who have another
meaning "for the-word than that it 1m
pliei total abstinence. With such we
must go back to first principles , and
correct meaning of the word steadi
ness and moderation. A fetrful
prostitution of a noble ord haa
taken place when it comes to prevent
the legality which-prohibits absolutely
the pretence or use' of all things con
taining intoxicants. Their reception
wa * the wresting of scripture to the sup
port of total abstinence themes. The
doctor was very severe In his reflec
tion * on the oonitruen of the crip-
turetexta ; who make it invariably to
support ; thair previously set up theor
ies , .tueriing that whenever It Is spo
ken oi surely in ihe Bible it refers to
fermented wine , and while' It invariably - .
ably means the unfermeniedlwlno. A
cause having falsehoods aa Its main
supports "can nevert > e' ccepted by the

A BOEEAL BLAST
From the Secretary of the
Aurora Farmers'
Alliance.
To the E Utor of the Eo j. .
The Hamilton county , Kobrsakn ,
Farmers Club , hold their cnuual in
stitute in the judga's office at Aurora ,
February 1st io 4th. Court , en on
adjournment , being in session , many
of our farmers were kept at the circuit
court , so the attendance wzmiot large ,
bat enough to comfurhibly fill -tho
judge's room. Proh Calbcrtsoh
being sick , was not abla'to bo with u ? ,
so wo wore left to our own talent. It
was demonstrated to thoao present
,
that we have homo talent ample to
teach , Interest , and make a fatrnerain ,
stitute profitable. The' first essay y
on "Boot Crops. " This brought cut
considerable inquiry and experience.
It Is evident too little interest is had
upon the raising of roots for stock
feedi especially that of nurigolds. As
a largo share of thnso arraigned for ea-
eays were absent , wo had re <
COUKO mainly to the ones'
tion box. This brought otii
some very valuable information.
Corn , wheat and other crops were
brought out , analizedand considered.
Plowing , harrowing and cultivation
were not ' forgotten. Wo arranged for
one day'/a / meeting each on iho first
Saturday In May andNovomber'nud
the third Saturday of August. On
rthe last afternoon wo had an ceaay
on fruit trees with K soc.al consider
ation of the eamo , nlao ono on floral
culture , and a talk on small fruits' , ?
There can ; bo no .doubt but' such'
meetings might be madbr very profit
able if the farmers would more gon-
'erally attend.and take part'in the ex
ercises. How' ' thay can be 'inado ' in
terested after being go long a time
isolated , and unused to working in
such exorcises Ia a question worthy of
consideration. I am in hopea this
antl-moaopoly movement will nroiuo
them. 1 am afraid ono rabvo in tha
Alliance will damage tlio. ctusa.This'
Is "every member of every Alilnnco
shall pay into'tho ' Stato-Allianco ten
cents annually. " * > What dot-a
the State Alliance need t > f ttmt
Is it to glvo thousands" ' Into
the hands of a few leaders 'to 'make
them rich st the expcnso of thopoor
masses. If this is'their ' aim this'not
will kill them , and an anti-monopoly
party will rise up on the ruins thereof -
of % If this is to bo a political move
why give charters to'overy society and
compel each member to pay this sum ,
though small in itself , yet largs whan
multiplied by many thousand/ / Could
the republican or any other political
party prosper nndor nuch rnlet I
am an anti-monopolist ; kave been In
the liberty and republican parties
slnco their organization , believe any
county , town or school district has an
inalienable right to organize , carry on
andvote ajjainst monopolies without
asking the wonld-ba lords whether wo
may do it without asking them for a
charter. I do not baliove this "char
tering" principle is in accordance with
American independence , or atato ,
county or individual rights. Every
one has the right to oppono nvil with
out getting a chnrter for it.
It is our duty as good citizens to
teach the people and chow them where
they are trampled down and by
whom , and no one has a right to aay
"you shan't do it unless I give you
leave by charter and you pay me ton
cents for the privilege. "
I love THE BBE because it is
outspoken against monopolies and yet
I have heard not a word agshisi this
rising monopoly of compelling charters
and dimes in order for a. person to bn
opposed to railroad expresses and
other acts tending to rob the producing
classes. It looks to mo like monopoly
against monopoly. "Don't jump out
of the frying pan Into the fire , " ia au
old saying. Is this not taking a step
toward * it iI boliova all the laboring
ohssea should ba connected bi this
anti-monopoly movement and not say
"you shan't unless you are a farmer I"-
Farming is my business , yet I sympa
thize with the wronged In other pur-
