TEMPERANcE.-The following reso-
buttons were unanimously adopted at
the temperance meeting at the Pres
Dyterian church Friday evening last:
I. That the illegal sale of intoxicat-
ing LIQUORS In our city can and ought
to be suppressed. ,.T@
7 2. That the very n1eagre authority
delegated by the State to cities, COM
pels us to look for success mainly to
State prosecutions.
3. That cur present State law is
capable and susceptible of being ad-
ministered, and SO far as it is available
should be vigorously enforced: and to
successfully carry this out there must
be an efficient public prosecutor, a
prompt and active judiciary, and q
public sentiment to support them
when right, and to rebuke them when
wrong.
4. That until fair and thorough
resort to and trial of the law has been
had, and proven inefficient, any at
tempt at unjustifiable force is and will
be unwise, impolitic, detrimental to
the interest of temperance, and wrong.
8. That to accomplish this, there
must be not only partial concurrence
in some of the general views modes
and means by few, but very gene
raj public sentiment so uniform and
consistent as to deserve success, and so
strong and thorough as to demand and
win it.
6. That there ia a need of further
temperance legislation, and more &C
tive effort under the present law /; and
to accomplish these two objects public
meetings should be encouraged, and
1 Innpr

prolonged as to be tedious not too sell

clash with other and pressing engage

THE PEAK FANILY.-The Original
Swiss Bell Ringers will give two OF
their classical and comical concerts at
Bancroft hall on Tuesday and We'd
nesday night, the 18th and 18th insts.
This troup have never favored our
community with their popular enter
tainment, but as many of our citizens
have witnessed their performances
elsewhere, we can guarantee them a
good reception. We copy the follow
ing from the Washington Globe:
'The Peak family certainly cannot
complain at their reception last even
ing. Lincoln hall was filed with an
audience critical and appreciative. In
the audience we observed some of our
most respected citizens. The ladies
were out in full force, and some did
not forget little ones. The music of
the bells was delightful. That unfor-
tunate but gifted poet, Poe, when wan
dering mentally in the land poetic
from whence he gave to US that en-
chanting poem of the SHELLS" never
heard in his most inspired moments
such music of the bells as greeted our
ears last night.
The opening was fine. It eiectrl-
fled the audience. Misses Julia and
Fannie Peak are artistes of the highest
cultivation. Master Barnard Is a vO-
calist of whom any troupe might be
proud.
Wyman the humorist certainly sur
passes any one we ever saw in his
original comicalities. His come
speech took the audience completely
by storm. He has made decided hit,
and will always meet with favor in
any community.
Other members of the troupe ac-
quilted themselves in a manner that
done credit to themselves and the man.

Some of our business men express
the opinion that "hard times" are
about over, and that from now on
money win be plentier. We believe
this TO be true. Our banks have been
carrying large amounts for our cattle
dealers, who were unwilling to sell at
the prices which prevailed previous to
the late rise. They will now be re-
lieved from this, and the money can
go into other channels. Our business
men and people generally have been
working down on the 'hard PAM for
year, economizing In every possible
way, and are in a most healthy condi-
ton financially. They will be ready
to profit by the ''good time coming

A slight row occurred at the whisky

took on too much "skalamanackus,"
and intimated that the saloon keepers
were the offspring of u certain canine
sex, which is not considered soothing
to the nerves of the generality of
mankind in general" The result was
that our rural ffiend got the cuticle
raised slightly on his cheek bone, and
went out at the back, door declaring
that IL his German friends would come
out in the country "they could not do
that" The opinion of bystanders was
that If the young man had not been

AN ADvANTAGE.-Ag great advan =
tage possessed by the Evening Star
Stove is that, owing to it's capacity and
draft, you can burn almost any kind
of wood, and, on account of its sub
stance and retention of heat, you can
run it with green wood after 1t is
heated, by having a small amount of
kindling material. Those having to
prepare fuel for ordinary small stoves
will appreciate this advantage. 37t1
