TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT IN Ian
CASTER For some weeks the signs
have been propitions of a ladies Tenn
perance Movement being organized in
TINS village. Although various ru
mors had been afoat, bogus letters
distributed among the saloon keepers,
considerable talk had upon the streets,
still nothing tangii lie was arrived at
u@ui the announcement was made at
the various churches last Sunday morn
ing that a Union Temperance Meet
ing would be held at the Congrega-
tional Church in the evening and
Ladies Union Temperance Prayer
Meeting at the Court House Tuesday
afternoon. Sunday evening the Con
gregatlOnal Church had an unusual
attendance. The Episcopalian, the
Methodist, the Baptist and the Con-
gregationalist met on a common level
to battle for the cause Of Temperance.
Rev A. ID. Dexter was the first to
speak. He was in favor of praying
for the conversion Of the saloon keep
ers and believed that the prayers
should be ken to the saloons. He
gave many figures showing the cost of
liquor annually to the American peo
pie, the number of deaths from intern
perance and the number of orphans
produced by the same means. He
was followed by the Rev. 5. w. Eaton,
vino, reading from the excise law,
showed rather conclusiyely that much
uuplea5antncss might be caused the
liquor sellers by vigorous enforce
ment OF the law. His remarks were
wei received by the audience and it
was evident that the Tuesday after
noon meeting would bc we'll attended
ell and thoroughly organized for the
war. Tuesday afternoon about SO
ladies Of the village convened at the
Court House and after singing and
prayer proceeded to effect an organ
ization. The presidency was tender
ell to Mrs. a. ID. Dexter, but that la
dy declined. The following is the or
paniZari0p.

requirements of the New Liquor
Law How the Bond Should be
Drawn.

The last Legislature repealed chap
Ter 35 OF the Revised Statutes of 1855.
and the law known az the Graham
Liquor Law, and in their stead en-
acted chapter l79 of the Laws OF
1874. The latter aw is now the only
law on our statute books providing
for the licensing and sale OF intox,-
eating liquors. Just now. when the
licenses heretofore granted are expir-
ing, and new applications are being
made, Town Boards are somewhat
puzzled to know whether one or two
bonds are now required of a persoa
applying for license, and how the
bond should be drawn. For the in
formation of all, we state that but one
bond is now required. The bond
runs to the State Of Wisconsin, is to
be in the penal sum of FIVE hundred
dollars, to be signed by the liquor
seller and two good sureties, who are
to be approved by the Board of Trus-
tees granting the license. The sure
ties are to be freeholders and residents
of the county, and each of them must
justify upon the bond that he il worth
the sum of $500 over and above all
his liabilities and exemptions. The
bond must be flied with the Clerk of
the town, city or village before the
license is granted.
The following is sufficient form OF
BOND:
Know all men by these presents, that we
----of the town o.
in Grant County, Wis, as principal, AMI
-and- and
freeholdsrs of said county as les, are
held and firmly bound unto the State of Wis
censin in the sum OF five hundred dollars, for
the payment of which well and truly to be
made, we do bind ourselves jointly and
severallv, firmly by these presents.
Sealed with our seals, and dated the
day OLA d 1874.

cipal, has applied TO the Board of Supervisors

liquor dealers must be prepared to
show straight papers. The above
