l.. J.y. Entertainment.

Last evening the Lutheerischer
Juenglings Verein (f, NJ. Luth. A.
gave a German entertainment before a
good audience in the Sunday School
room Of the German Lutheran church,
corner Sixth and French streets. After
singing and prayer a prominent mem
ber of the society who would rather not
see his name in print, was introduced
by the President to deliver a lecture on
Revivals. The lecturer spoke over forty
minutes, during which time he kept
his hearers in close attention, describ-
ing the spurious revivals as he himself
had seen them in our city churches,
and then the genuine ones according
to the teachings of the Bible. This
was followed by an original German
dialogue which was something novel
and pleasing for all. After q few more
exercises the friends were dismissed
with the benediction by the pastor.

The advisibility of voting bonus, at the
coming election, to aid in the construction
of the Little Falls &. Dakota Railroad, is to
be discussed by the Board of Trade next
Monday evening. The principal object to
be gained by having the question acted up
on at an early date, is to definitely decide
whether we are to have the road ornot.
Those who have been and are expending
time and money in locating the line, have
right to know before proceeding further,
just what the people of Stevens county will
do. A vote to aid the scheme is simply, at
present. an assurance that we are willing
to aid, and that the enterprise has our sup
port. 1t makes no particle of difference
when the bonds are voted, as the act as
contained in Chapter 143 of Special Laws
provides that NO bonds shall be issued
or delivered to the corporation or company
until the road, branch, or ex
tension thereof, for the construction oj
qoISch the bonds haze been ooted, shall ha0,
been completed ready for passage Of dnt
the cars running thereon" Thi
cffectually prevents the issuance of tin
bonds until the road is in operation.
