I L W. NICHOLS, tt pf: . Article* and Notice* under the above head *1% furnished by the Indies of the W. C T. U. •fid the K'lttor claims no part or credit for wJU&imma.] Need of Total Abstinence. One hundred thousand pairs of hands are annually abstracted from the force of productive industry in the United States by the vice of intemperance, and yet we are told that the question of total absti­ nence has nothing to do with political economy! It is impossible to take up a daily paper and not find in it the record ot some horrible crime resulting from drunkenness. Some child is miingled by a drunken father, some wife is mutilated by ft drunken husband, some father or moth­ er is murdered by a drunken son--thus read the papers day after day. Let all citizens reflect that a city's or town's vote to license the sale of intoxicating liquors is a vote to make that city or town a partner in its sale and the wretchedness and crime that comes from its sale. "You* can't make men temperate by law," cries the ram-seller. Well, you can't make men honest, by law, but We make laws punishing dishonesty and its abettors, and no one questions ite salu­ tary effect. You can't set broken legs by law, but you pass laws requiring streets and sidewalks to be passable without danger, in order that no legs be broken and by throwing this protection around her citizens the State does a better service than she could by erecting a hospital in Which to mend broken bones.

His Sentence to One Year's Imprisonment Affirmed by the Supreme Court. New York dispatch: Johann Most, tho Anarchist agitator,will have to serve out the sentence imposed upon him some time ago by Judge Cowing. The charge against him was in­ citing to riot. His trial took place dur­ ing the excitement caused by the hang­ ing of the Chicago t Anarchists. Shortly after that event the Anarchists in this city honored the memory of their dead brethren wKh a p a r a d e . T h e r e were also a number of meetings held, at one of which Most made a fiery speech that excited his auditor^ to wild frenzy, and before he could finish he was ar­ rested. His trial followed and he was sentenced to serve one year in the peni- tentlary and pap a fine of $500. The ' '" * * XA- JOHANN MOST. Ttwaslearned through tne pi... patches received by the general superinT" tended that five people met death in tha wreck and that three were seriously in­ jured, though not fatally, and that eighl others had received many cuts and bruises. M. E. Ingalls, president of the "Big Four," who was reported to bo among the injured, was not on the train. The conductor of the train was W. C. Angel, and the general superintendent thinks that the similarity of the names was the occasion of the report that Mr. In- jjalls was hurt. Conductor Angel was ,Sftrip|i?!y injured, but he was able to sit upjn a couch that was prepared for hi in In one of the cars that did not leave tho \,rack and send a full report of the acci­ dent. 1 Conductor Angel, In his account of the tfffdlr, says he loft Chicago with his train 4aind no mishap was met with until with­ in fifteen miles of Indianapolis, near Car- ri»el station. At this point a rail broke tthd'tho tender left the track. The trai was ( limbing a trestle-work leading to a small bridge crossing a creek, and when the tender toppled over the embankment it pulled the baggage-car, two coaches, and a sleeper from the rails, and they fell in a heap in the ditch. The stoves in the cars were knocked from their fastenings by tho fall, and the red hot coals were thrown in all di­ rections. Soon the wreck was in flames and the inlurcd were making frantic efforts to crawl out of reach of tho fire. Those who were not hurt worked heroically to extinguish the flames, but the sleeping car was almostentirfely con sumed before sufficient water could be carried from the creek. Those who were burned to death were pinioned under the wreck by several heavy timbers and could not be released before the flames reached them. BLANKETS ARE THE STRONGEST.
