We have a Reform Club, and several
clubs that are not so much for reform.
Why do not the temperance workers con-
tinue the good work begun. The first
part of the year the whiskey men were
very sly and real gain seemed to have
been made. Now they have grown bold
until to-day there is more drunkenness
and devlltry going on in this town than
ever before in its history. Scarcely a

"drunks." Wake up, retormers. The
Cubs are the very thlnncst subterfuges for

means something, the proprietor of one

\ SIGNIFICANT FACT.-FillmOre coun-
tv was most seriously affected by the
failure of the wheat crop. Hard times
are rampant there. And 10! all three of
the greenback Representatives, and one
of the two Senators, elected in the
entire State, come from Fillmore
county! The amazing strength of the
greenback fighters is found in the fact
that of the 40 odd Legislators of b''h
houses, they elect only .fve! And that
four of these come from hard-up Fillmore
is something you need TO remember.

should fsmarter than that. Such lies
ought tt ,,!l the influence Of the Repub

flour was quoted in Chicago at only $5,
could officer get SO for flour made from
wheat 50 poor as to bring only 80 cents,
at tine when the ordinary price Of
wheat WAS 50 to 60 cents? In the Ian
