TEr MASS MEErrNo.

Harpers theatre was crowded to its
utmost capacity last evening on the occa-
sion of the lecture of Mrs. Mary B. Willard,
of Chicago, who appeared under the
auspices of the Women's Temperance
Christian Union of this city. As early as
7 o'clock, a stream of humanity directed
their steps to the opera house, and the
flow was continued until every seat in the
structure was occupied, and standing
room was at a discount. 1t was bonan-
"a for the young man with limited sal
ary, who could take his best girl out for
an evenings entertainment without the
cost of a penny. The ladies turned out
eli masse, and the crowd was swelled
from the fact that the churches dispensed
with their evenings meeting for the pur-
pose of attending the lecture. A great
many went out of curiosity, and others
went because it was the only attraction in
the city. At any rate there was big
crowd, and all appeared to enjoy the ex-
ercises.
The lecture was prefaced by singing by
the Methodist church choir, reading from
the scriptures by Rev j. W Read, of the
Baptist church, and prayer by Rev. ]. s.
McCord, of the Methodist church Mrs.
Willard occupied the attention of the
large audience for about an hour, her
words bearing principally upon the Wo-
mems Temperance Union and the work
achieved by them. The meeting closed
by announcing that another mass meeting
would be held at the same place next
Sunday evening in regard to the desecra-
ton of the Sabbath

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Pension
Commissioner Dudley has issued a
circular requesting special examiners
to give public notice that they are
not authorized to collect money for
tees or expenses from pensioners or
applicants tor pensions; also that all
special examiners are provided with
certificates signed by the commits
sioner Of pensions and secretary of
the interior, and bearing the seal of
the interior department. Without
such certificates, all persons claiming
to be pension examiners are frauds.
This circular has been brought out
by complaints reaching the pension
office of swindles perpetrated by per-
sons having no authority to act for
the pension Office. The commits
sioner asks that some responsible

very flattering news to tell you at

There is a nice country and a good

is as nice country as lies out OF
doors, but there are thousands of
men waiting for it to be thrown open

here are getting hold of all the land
they can. AS soon as man gets Il
deed for 160 acres of land lie has nc
trouble to raise $1,000 on it if there
is not furrow broken. I shal
stay in the west until T see how
things will turn. The time to have
come west was in years gone by; ther
there was lots of range and it did
not cost any thing to winter stock
Now when they tring in their herds
