1T was suggested to the Minneapolis
Tribune on Thursday Of the week
Of prayer, that as ",he press" was
TO be one of the objects of prayer,
it would be well for the Christian
world to give particular benefit to such
papers as continue to publish lottery ad.
vertisements in distinct violation of the
statutes Of Minnesota, thinking the moral
suasion of prayer, added TO the legal sua-
sion of prosecution of publishers in the
courts, might possibly work q reform.
Sheriff Van Vechten, of Milwaukee, wrote
the following to the lady managers Of a
church fair who wrote to him for advice
in relation to gift enterprlse:"
"There is no limit to lotteries. The on.
ment. Whoever told you that if you sold
not come within the law WAS either igno.
rant or desired to get you into trouble.
Those desiring to evade the law are on
ly trying to whip the devil around a
stump. Any one who feels disposed to
complain of your lottery and can ind .
judge or justice of the peace who will en-.
terrain the complaint and Issue warrant,
all interested Can be brought into court.
1t is clearly violation Of the law aud it
cannot be lodged by the numbering of
the tickets. The churches and societies
here do not stop at 100 tickets. They sell
all they can and no one says anything
about II. 1fyou are going into gambling,
pitch in and don't stop for the number Of
tickets, but put on bold face and buck
the tiger through That is the only way
10 win. 1fyour people are going into
that kind of business, 60 al it as every
one else does-to win. Don't stand be.
hind the curtain and make faces al Others
in the same business only in a differen,
FORM"
We are glad to say that there is strin.
gent law against lotteries Of all kinds in
this state. Section of that law prohib
its the selling Of any lottery.ticket within
the state of Minnesota, and afixes the
penalty to this offense At fine not ex
ceeding $500, and not less than 500
Section prohibits the adpert Using o.
l:ttery. tickets in Minnesota and af1xes s
nne not exceeding 500 to violation o.
this provision, and ye, we are sorry 10 see
this provision violated by a majority o
our exchanges. The l,w in its entirety
ought to be rigidly enforced.

EDITOR TRANsCR1PT:-There is nothing
more sad that can be penned than little note
in your last, as follows:
1.-THE five children OF Mr.. Young, victims of
that terrible scourge, diphtheria, were buried
Tuesday in one grave, in the Catholic GENE
terry in this city,
In many localities in the state the same is
true. The scourge starts, and its work is a
wholesale one. Some Of our best physi-
clans declare that they "are unable to cope
with it,
Now, is not prevention better than cure?
Shall We not take such steps as shall ward on
this terrible enemy to the human racer I
fancy every one will say yes, at once. But
can we?
The proprietors of PARIS ENGLISH PAD
say as follows: "For diphtheria or putrid sore
throat, so fatal to the little ones, it acts as a
specific, by Its autlseptic powers killing or
destroying the germs or spores of the disease.
We are satisfied that there is not single in
stance where the PARIS ENGLISH PAD has
failed to protect the wearer from the attacks
of this dangerous malady."
Persons who have been exposed to this
disease should at once procure Pad and
word of the disease. They can be obtained
of me, in Austin, MINI. Price, So each. 1 do
not write this TO advertise the Pad, merely,
but that good may be done and humanity
blessed. REV. ]. w. ELDRIDGE,
