at the recent meeting of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union at Topeka
We, the delegates of the w. C. T. q.

GUS questions brought before the body,
hereby adopt the following:
Res0Lued, That, recognizing the fact
that our cause is and win be combatted
by mighty, determined and rentless

money. and our personal efforts, every
attempt for the enforcement of the pro-
hibitory law, and do all in our power to
increase permanent growth of public
sentiment in its favor.
ResOtCed, That it is the duty of tenn
perance people to patronize, as far as

to the principles of total abstinence and
the amendment, and we especially
pledge our support to such newspapers
as advocate the cause of prohibition.
ResOtced, That we regard with alarm
the immense amount of beer and other
malt liquors clandestinely shipped into
our state, and we protest against the
same, and pledge ourselves to use every
effort to induce railroads and other car
riers to refrain from bringing the same
within our borders.
ResOlUed, That we thank God for the
results already attained in temperance
work throughout the world, and pray
that with malice towards none we may
continue this battle for the right till the
combined fOrces of King Alcohol are all
mustered out"

greeting to temperance workers every
where, and especially to sisters of the

holy crusade against the giant evil, in
| temperance.

ments adopted at our last convention,
viz: That we believe the vote of women

law, and rejoice at the brave work of the
| w. G. I. Unions in other states, in Great
| ing public sentiment along that line,
| pledging them henceforth our hearty CO.
operation.
| ResOEUed, That we request each politi-
cal party of the state to insert pro-
hibitory plank in its platform.
ResotUed, That we recognize the good
| work accomplished by other temperance
organizations, and while we cheerfuily
cooperate with them, we pledge our
selves as our first work to do our utmost
to increase the membership and efficien-
cy of auxiliaries to the w. @. T. U.

from the various local unions have been
50 cordially received and Hospitality en-

their kind courtesy.

snrrastinn-

THE News suggests that it would be
ameasure of great advantage to the bus
mess men and citizens in general if all
business houses and residences were con-
spicuously numbered with the number
of the corresponding lot, as shown by
the official plot of the city.
URder the present Jack of any system
Of numbering it is very awkward and
often times almost impossible 10 intelli.
gently describe the location of a business
firm or of private residence.
Instead Of the simple method of street
and number, If the buildings were num-
bered, one must designate the location
of Mr.. Smiths house by saying it is on
Cottonwood street, between Third and
Fourth avenues, on the west side OF
the street. the third house south Of Mr..
Williams and the second lot from the
corner. II person is so fortunate as
TO live next door to . church or TO a
school house it is somewhat easier 70
tell where to find hum, when he is at
home. We know from experience that
many business men are entirely ignorant
Of the number of the lot ON which their
stores are located. They may be found
50 many doors from the post once or
opposite the express ONCE, or near one
Of the banks.
The numbering Of the lots in En-.
poria is very simple, ali odd numbers
being on the west side Of the street and
the even numbers on the east side, and
the numbers, excepting on Commercial
street. always fall between the same
avenues. A little cooperation among
the citizens, and an estimate
Of the cost Of small square
tins with numbers painted there
on would soon result. we think, in the
adoption of a much needed improve
ment nj a very small expense. On bust
ness houses the numbers could b
/ painted on transoms. The Improvement
would be Of still more advantage if some
means Of placarding the names Of streets
and avenues At their principal intersec
tons, were adopted.

Pramium Pnpars.

The Wichita Eagle INDUCES in an
extra squauk and flap Of the wings be-
cause it took the second premium in the
newspaper exhibit at the state fair at
Topeka. It takes mighty little to set
that bird on the highest mountain
peaks of Qualification over itself. THE
News has for several weeks been in pos
session of the fact that it took the first
premium both In the DAILY and WEEK
LIZ newspaper exhibit at the great Bis
marck fair at Lawrence, and is in
possession of the secretary's check
on the treasurer to that ef-
feet. THE News made the exhibit
to add to the interest of the fair as in
duty bound, and did not intend to say
anything about its success as competi-
tor, but seeing the Eagle is INDUCING in
such a blow about coming of second
best, we thought we would give il some
thing not so terribly sweet to it for its
Sunday reading. We are not much OF q
proof. reader, but the claim that the Eagle
sets up that it got the grand premium on
the ground of accuracy OF proof read
ine'' makes Us smile. We have not
noticed the paper for q few
weeks but the impression
we got in perusing some of Prentis' and
T. B. Aurdock,s letters copied into the
outside of the Eagle some weeks ago.
was that the proof was not read at all.

ArerrIble Warning

THE NEWS has long feared and pre-
dicted that the habit which has become
SO prevalent among the youth of this
city of jumping on and off moving trains
as they pass through the corporation
would, if persisted in, result in some
frightful injury to such as continued to
practice such fatal folly, despite the
frequent and earnest remonstyances of
this paper. Our apprehensions have
been fully justified in the case of Charles
Shockley, son of A. d. Shockley, living
on East street, who, in an attempt to
board an east-bound freight train Thurs
day, near the Commercial street cross
ing, struck a hand-car which was
standing on side track, and was
thrown under the moving train, the
wheels of which passed over his left
leg and so mutilated it as to render am
putation necessary between the ankle
and the knee. The lad was picked up
and carried TO the st. Albany House.
We trust this sad occurrence will
prove warning to others who will in
CNAlaDly SHuCC inc SnIAc AotO Al shCy III
sist upon taking the risks which are al
ways incurred by endeavoring TO board
or leave trains while they are moving.
DIED OF HIS INJURIES.
Charlie W., eldest son of A. d. and
E. ]. Shockley, departed this life at the
st. Albany hotel, at O'Clock this
morning, at the age of II years. The
accident which led to this mournful re-
suit was detailed in The NEWS of yes
terday and it is now supposed that in adj
dition to the hurt which necessitated the
amputalion of the unfortunate boys
limb, he must have suffered internal in
juries, as he complained last evening of
a severe pain in his chest. The deceased
was an industrions and obedient son,
and gave promise of a noble manhood.
He was the faithful assistant of his
father who is overwhelmed by the dis
pensation which has deprived him at
once of an affectionate son and dutIful
help-mate.
The remains will be taken from the
family residence at the corner of East
street and Third avenue at 0 O'Clock to-
morrow morning, to Frost's cemetery,
ten miles north of the city where they
will be laid TO rest.
