Another good meeting was had at Re
form hall by the temperance people last
night and another good speech was de-
livered by Rev. Bush, OF Columbus, Ky.
The meeting was opened, as usual, with
prayer and song and then, for over an hour,
Rev. Bush held the audience unclaimed by
his eloquence, argument, narratives
and entreatics. At the end of his
discourse another song was begun and sign

The trial of man at St Paul, MINI,
for rescuing his servant girl instead of his
wife from burning building is one which
should attract the serious attention of bus.
bands. OF course the contingency involved
will not come to every man, but it is well
that all should know the prejudice of the

girl first is not considered Just the thing,
and that man is expected to save his wife
from burning building and let the servant
girl be cooked in all cases when only one

will result in the occasional consumption
by fame of two women instead of one.
Men are such creatures of impulse.
Since the fall of the Ohio river great
quantities of drift wood, which was coming
down the river, has been LETT on the bank
and humber of dark1es are at work day
after day chopping it up for fire wood.
Among these is family that keeps akind
of a shanty restaurant just below the Clark
block, who has been using the
rickity old sidewalk along there
tor all the purposes Of wood yard for
some time, The uprights, cross timbcrs
and stringers Of the walk along this par
tcular, including many of the top panks,
are rot;ed away to a considerable extent,
causing the walk TO sink down about two
feet below the proper level. Il looks
like suspension bridge at the point CIV

surprised that the boys of the town have
not yet discovered that to simply stand
there while people pass to and fro beats a
lettering board all to "smash" for ride.
