Temperance.

Rev. NJ II. Pogson, Of st. Lous, will deliver
course of five lectures on the subject OF temper
ance, at the direction of tie Pastors Conference
OF this city, beginning next Sunday tomorrow
evening, at the Congregational Church.
We give below an extract from an ex-
change commendatory of this great temperance
orator OF the southwest;
Mr.. Pogson is young and slender in frame,
has vivid imagination, and marvellous
command Of chaste and elegant language. AS u
word. painter we never heard his equal He
touches the finer sensibilites of his hearers. and
reaches their hearts through their emotions and
affections. He is not deep and methodical like
the Rev. Mr.. Christopher, but he is impassioned
ana persuasive. He does not pile the fagots I'M
der you: feet, and ignite the fire, as does the
Rev. Mr.. Stoughton, but he leads you along pleas
ant paths, and through amaranthine bowers, and
pictures in glowing metaphors the glory Of the
home crowned with love and temperance. He
does not meet you with drawn sword, and put
you in fighting array, as does DR.. Ross; but he
captiyates you with the sympathy and tender
ness of his loving heart, and leads you along I'M
Isuspicously with him to do battle for q noble
purpose He is not exctable and erratic, but
he never fails to carry you to the mountain tops,
and portray the beauty and grandeur that lie in
the valley below, amid purling springs and fra
grant flowers He does not present the ugly
side OF everything, and paint it as black as pos.
siblc but he opens the doors to homes crowned
with love, peace and plenty, and with the touch
OF the artists hand, fails not to draw the con.
trast in the haunts OF squalor and wretchedness,
caused by in'cmperance.-BSo Bloomington Ltd,ler.

llshed at 1877 Fourth Avenue Ola Sale street,
was murdered il his editorial room on the
9th story of that building, on Thursday af-
.ernoon, by men named Pike, who had &C.
cupied rooms Ia the same building which he
rented of Jones The latter was alone In his
room. which was entered by Pike, also alone,
who shot him dead with pistol. and then
went to the police station aud stated the fact
giving himself up. Pike, who is Gj years
old, but has a wife so years old, gave as his
only reason for the murder. that Jones, who
was 81 years old, had seduced his wife, a
q statement which the wife subsequently, ad-
mitted was true. The friends of Jones, how
ever, assert that the wife is an outrageous
liar, and that she told the story Of her seduc-
ton to Pike to induce him to leave her, as
she was loose woman, and had long tried
to get rid Of him. Altogether, ii is very
strange as we'll as shocking case.

1t is this year, AS is generally the case, almost
impossible to get accurate information respect
ing the candidates for the offices of Alderman
and School Director. Below we give, however,
the names Of the candidates so far as we have
been able 10 learn them:
FIRST WARD.
For Alderman, II. West, who has represented
the ward heretofore, is up for reelection. Mr..
Markle, we presume, will be a candidate for re-
election as Director. F. L. Fiskc is mentioned as
Kelly.

have heard OF no opposition; nor is there any
fight over school director, DR.. j. c. Hathaway
consenting to run for another term.
THIRD WARD.
For Alderman, John Leonard and JOSIAH s.
Dean are named. Director Megaffin will serve
another year, if the people desire it.

field is out for director and the caucus desires
Capt Talbot to run for that office.
We do not expect that the above list is entire
ly accurate, and changes indefinite may be made
in it by the time voting begins on Monday
There are many men in the list and voters who
have the city's interest at heart will take extrs
pans, at this time, above all, to cast their bal
lots for those they believe to be the most capa
BILE, without reference to personal feelings.
