Mrs. De Geer, of the Chicago CRUSADER, gave a
res Of lectures ut the NJ T. church. the latter part Of
last week. This woman makes many good hits, and
her discour.es are immensely attractive the
age human being but it is doubtful If her ini-cri
mate dishius up and mixing of politics, religion,
womans rights, and temperance, Is judicious. At
any rate her advocacy Of making the temperance
question political issue, to clash square in
the face of the prohibition programme of this State
viz: to avoid making it q political question. We
guess the plan decided upon by the temperance peo-
pie of Kansas is the right one, and tlooks very much
like the one that is going to win.
Another wedding and ball to follow, are the

Next Friday evening, citizens are to have the
long expected opportunity Of witnessing dramatic
from the amateur association of this
place. The first play the programme will be the
drama entitled, "Out in the Street." and We learn
from those who have been permitted to be present at
the rehearsals that the plot is Of startling inter
est and the rendering of it by the company is excep
tionaly fine. This will be followed by the laughable
farce of The Mummy" All that need be said Of the
latter is that it is rich in fun and that it is in the
hands of those whose forte is this kind of comedy.

an admission fee two or three times as great.

thunder As this may be the last closing of the river
for the season, those who delayed storing away the
