Our old-time friend, Peter J. Crater,
has gone into the ice business. He lives
down near the beautiful Cedar you know,
and he has occupied his spare time this
winter "quarrying" out some three hund-

see. He has erected an icehouse 20x40,
and the 800 tons are safely housed. Peter
says he will warrant bis ice perfectly
pure, clear as crystal, and free from

we understand, has also put up some
three hundred tons or over, of excellent

Tho Temperance Meeting.

The meeting Of the temperance Reform
Club, held at the Congregational church,
last Friday evening, was quite we'll atten.
ded and productive of good results. Re.
marks were made by the President, Rev.
J. W. Eldridge, Prot. Bigelow, Dea. J. N.

VIM. Stewart and Rev. G. e. Wright.
The executive committee were instruc-
ted to present at meeting to be held next
Friday evening, at the Baptist church, a
report, embodying plan Of action for
consideration.
1t is the purpose OF the Club TO make
4 vigorous effort to hold the h Ugh ground
which the city has taken upon the tenn.
perance question. The time for elect,ng
municipal officers will soon come, and if
the friends of law and order would secure

That the "Club Rooms" 50 numerous
in this CITY. are wholly without the sa:c.
ton OF law, there Is not the shadow OF
doubt IN the mind Of any we'll Informed
man, and that they Can be closed is an
already demonstrated fact. Judge Dick
inson, at Worthington, recently sentenced
man to the county Jail for violating the
law under the pretensc Of keeping a
Club Room, and the same good result may
be achieved here if We do our duty.
There are some men here who voted
against license last year, who are weak
kneed now. They express the fear tina,
whiskey cannot be controlled, fully, and
because all drinking has not been sup.
pressed, they want the traffic legalized
These men don't know the power Of ex.
ample, nor the power Of yielding to the
pressure Of improper influences, if they
think they can thus advance the in
terests Of temperance, and We hope to Sc.
them stand up boldly and do their duty
in this emergency, for all the best inter
ests Of community are at stake, and w
need the help Of every true man.
