TEMPERANCE MEETINGS.

Temperance meetings were held on
Sunday and Monday evenings of this
week, conducted by DR.. Tracy, of
Columbus, Ohio, assisted by the cler-
gymen of this place. DIR. Tracy has
labored as Temperance Evangelist
in several towns in this State with
much success, and the announcement
of the Sunday evening meeting drew
large congregation.
The meeting was opened with pray
er and singing after which the speak
er was introduced by Rev. Atwater.
His address was general statement
of what his work had been and what he
proposed to do here, and in familiar
and conversational mode of address he
urged the Importance and necessity of
reform in temperance.
On Monday evening a larger au-
dience than before assembled at an
early hour. Owing to the engagement
of the clergymen at the Congregation
al Church the exercises did not COM
mence until about 8 O'Clock. Mr..
Tracy then began his discourse on the
subject of Real Life. His statements
were drawn for the most part from
his own experience, but the facts
stated were only illustrations for the
better emphasis of ideas; some of
which are well worth recording.
Speaking of the difficulties of reform
he said: "They never let us forget our
past life. 1t is thrown before us
every day. We would drop the cur
tain upon the past, but rude hands
draw it away" A lady once upon the
platform told the speaker Il wish
you to understand sir, was member
of this church while you were in the
gutter"
The help noble men and women can
give the struggling victim in his eff
forts to throw off his chains was well
illustrated IN a case under the speak
er's own eye. Space forbids our EN-
larging further. At the close of the
meeting IN invitation was given all to
sign the pledge, and almost the entire
congregation moved forward and re-
ceived the badge. blue ribbon, and
Murphy" pledge, of which we give
copy:

persuaded 223 to sign the pledge-old

topers. It's well, let the good work
go on. We intend to make this tenn
perance town so that it shall be noted
for its sobriety as it has been for
drunkenness; so that the boys who
come here for a spree will have to
bring their fuel with them.

hereafter would open with a prayer
meeting of half an hour.

hereafter WOulu OPEN Will d prayer
meeting of half an hour.
Tuesday evening the prayer meeting
was led by Rev. Atwater. Topic:
The Churches of River Falls; their
increase in grace and power. The
temperance address by DIR. Tracy
reviewed chiefly the objections which
professedly temperance men make to
temperance movements; the disastrous
influence of moderate drinking. At
ter the address the secretaries we've
kept busy half an hour with the rush
of people to sign the pledge.
Last evening the hall was well filled
at the time of opening. DR.. Tracy
led the prayer meeting. Brief re-
marks were made upon the topic, Ed
ucation in our homes, in our schools
and our churches. In the address fol-
lowing the ''blue bow" as a sign of
sympathy and cooperation with tenn
perance, was dwelt upon. These
''blue ribbons are sermons wherever
they go.' During singing by the au-
dience lady volunteer choir on the
platform, the signing of the pledge
went on briskly. Up to this point the
work has been very satisfactory.
Among the signers we understand
many of 1.-the boys" as doc famili-
arly calls them, are enrolled. We
hope more will walk up and do the
same. Meanwhile they should have
the encouragement by word and ex-
ample of all who are in the habit of
calling themselves temperance men.
The meetings will be continued
during the week and it is to be hoped
will meet with deserved success.

appreciated it very much.
We cannot help smiling at the pos
Inverness of the correspondent referred
to before, in his assertions about the
DAYTON Mill. We wish to tell you, my
friend. that you are quite mistaken on
two points at least. First, the repairs
YOU saw going on were simply brush
and sand being put there to raise the
bank of the tail race, and had no more
connection with the dam or mill rum
ming than your grandmother knit
ting work. Second, the MIR. Walter.
house you saw at the NJ. E. Church
was not Mr.. W. of the company. but
younger brother who had come over
from Minneapolis to look after his fu-
ture welfare. 1t is quite easy to be
mistaken, but you were just right
about one thing: they are doing first
class work there, and the miller, A.
K. Cochrane, is always in his place
where he waits on his many customers
with good -four and swiftness that
pleases every one.

The fire fiend has visited this place
consuming the residence of V. E. Cliff
ford and w. E. Denham. AT alittle be-
fore noon on Thursday, Jan. I'd,
dense smoke was seen issuing from
the main part of Mr.. Clitford's resi-
dence, and it was seen at once that it
would be useles to try to save the
house or that of Mr.. Denham's, some
nine feet away. 1t was thought that
the residence of DR.. Ware would be
destroyed, but the prompt effort on
the part of the crowd in tearing down
a portion of the burning house and
the application of water by a line from
the lake, saved the house and others
that were in danger. Credit is due
the people, who worked through the
intense cold, chilling hands, feet and
ears, suffering numberless burns and
small injuries. Most of the furniture
of both houses was saved although
some of it is in a damaged condition.
Mrs. Clifford lost most of her clothing
and furs. Mr.. Denham had $500 in
surance on his house. Mr.. Clifford
had 1000 insurance on house and
furniture.
