Should be More Careful.

Workmen, who are engaged in putting
up the sheds around the new depot
should be moro careful, when they are
chewing tobacco, of where they spit.
On Saturday evening lady came from
the old depot, along French street, right
unber the caves of this shed, when all
of sudden big monthtul of tobacco
juice came from above, striking her
with full force on the hat and dress, be-.
smearing them all over. Perons who
will persist in using this filthy weed
should be careful how and where they
spit. If the lady had only got hold of
the man who spit on her she would
have made it lively for him and he may
consider him self lucky in escaping her
clutches.

A False RumOr Corrected.

As tho rumor has gone forth that Mr..
e. Harrison and wife are stricken with
the same illness that bore their child
from them. we deem it our duty,
through the medium of the press, to
state to their sympathizing friends that
such is not the case. They are much
broken with sorrow and overwhelmed
with grief by the irreparable loss of
their interesting boy under such pecu.
liarly y painful circumstances. In this
connection we will also state that Mr..
Harrison has been very careful to have
his entire premises most thoroughly
disinfected and fumigated.

the stakes amounting to $1OO were won
bythe former, after short contest in

In this prime movement about 1903, and
had tracts printed and distributed to
the people advocating the reform. Thvee
years later they were placed in the
hands of all tie ministers in the Presby-
terian Assembly, and the formation,
from time to time of different temper.
ance movements and societies in order
to suppress the growing evil.
In speaking of society, which was
organized in Boston, he SAID their
pledge forbid the manufacture, sale or
use of distilled liquors, but gave
them the privilege OF wine, beer and
cider.
In \ short time thereafter the ques.
tion arose "why pass law forbidding
the manufacture, sale and use of dis
titled liquors and not fermented? This
question was answered by many who
thought that the distillery caused all
the harm, in other words made the
alcoholic liquors; the fermented liquors,
at that time, being classed as perfectly
harmless, which was found out to be y
grand mistake. Numerous con ventions
we're held, at which the question of fer.
mNnted liquors, was ably discussed and
were considered to be morally wrong
as wei as tne distilled liquors. The
con onVei!ions, however were divided in.

was the t'rmented juice of grapes and
other lruih, and :hasi was no harm
Tor them to t-ink it, as Christ drank it,
as portrayed Ii the bible The second
class would say.hat Christian charity
requires that the. should not use it,
because OF the example, otherwise it
was no harm, whfe the third class
said that wine was th> primary juic,
of the grape, and they did not think
the clear Juice was Intoxicating.
The speaker then gave a graphic de-
scripton Of tho different class,s of wine,
cider, etc, how they were male to be-.
come intoxicating and finally cl,sed by
saying that If people will let n,ture
alone she will not produce anything IN
toxicating. Let the grapes be on ehs
vines; the apples, ETC., rot under the
trees and he would guarantee that no
Intoxicating liquors would result there
from, but on the other hand gather
them up and put them through n cider
press and other modes Of operations,
then you do the damage, You may as
wsll say that God makes the soap be
cause he furnishes the necessary mate
riais for its manufacture, as to say that
he makes the liquors that are daily
drank. The speaker then stated that
the temperance movement should be
brought into the church as an active
measure to briug about the grand re-
formation and ended his remarks by
maKingan earnest appeal for all TO take
a hand In this active movement.

1t was found that Nelson Morris offered
to take the contract at 81. 40 per perch,

Van Buren streets, to view a nuisance
in that locality, which is cansei by wa

These parties state that this stream for

between Broom and Franklin streets.
Pleasant street 80 feet wide, running
from Harrison to Franklin, between
Front and Second streets.
Conrad street, 80 feet wide, runs from

After viewing the streets, Council
assembled in the Trustees room in the
aimshIuse Tor the purpose OF coasid-

moved that the deeds for the beds of
the streets be accepted; this led to
quite a discussion in which President
