The evening temperance meetings continue.
There are full houses each evening. Last
Saturday afternoon Mr.. Reynolds spoke to a
large crowd at the corner of Santa Fe and
Iron Avenues. A band OF choiristers furnished
the music. We understand that some $50 per-
sons have put Oh the blue ribbon thus far
since the meetings commenced.
The new county safe Is certainly a ''thing of
beauty" as well as utility. The most expert
enced burglar would find it impossible to pene-
trate that almost impenetrable barrier-thc
outer door. And then the money drawer,
securely guarded by that best Of all sentinels-
the Yale Time Lock, puts the cOunty's
treasure beyond the reach Of day robbers and
raiders. Treasurer Hamilton may have IA re-

The Temperance Festival which occurred at
c. A. kingman's vacant store building on
Santa Fe, last Tuesday night, was success
in every particular. Some $500 were the pro-
ceeds of the entertainment. A very good sup
per was furnished for d cents. A choir con-
sisting Of Mrs. Presbrey, Miss Thorpe. and
Messrs. Day. Wellington. Wierbach, Shutr,
and some others rendered some very fine
music. The room was literally packed with
people, and this somewhat interfered with the
enjoyment which might have prevailed under
other circumstances.

east OF town, has been repaired, and is ready
for service again. Notice has been published
that travel would cease temporarily

We would suggest that hereafter the COmmis-
sioners grant no more county money in aid Of
building wooden bridges. Iron bridges can
now be bnilt cheaply, and they are so much
more durable than a wooden concern. There
should be an iron bridge spanning the Null
berry at the point We have named.

The election on the bond question in Smolan
township resulted in a splendid victory for
the opponents Of the bonds. While it was
generally conceded that the bonds would be
defeated. no one supposed that the election
would be s.all one way" There are two
voting places in Smolan, which are named
respectively, for convenience, 'Maltby's' and
"Holtman's.'' At "Maltbys" the vote stood
2 votes for the bonds and a against. AT
"Holtman's" the vote was l for and 6s against.
This signal defeat OF the bonds will no doubt
have Its effect upon the election in Smoky
View township. which is 10 occur on the nth
Of next month. We doubt very much now
