SpociaI Correspondence Of the Register.
ST.. CLAIRsvILLE, October 9.-Resolu-
items UNANIMOUSLY adopted at the late meet
ing Of the P esbytery at Bethel Church,
October It'll:
Resolved l., That the entire extinction of
the manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquors ss q beverage claim our efforts and
our PRAYERS; and to accomplish this we, as
ministers and elders, should labor earnestly
and unitedly in connection with the people
of our several churches in every laudable
effort to bring about this object.
ii. That under God the removal Of In
temperance must largely depend upon the
forming of a wholesome public sentiment,
in which the power Of conscience enlight-
ened by the work of God; together with the
provisions Of the strong arm OF the civil
law, wisely enacted and faithfully enforced;
10 be the legitimate agencies in the sup
preston of the traffic and use of i~ntoXicants
as q beverage.
III. That the PresbyterY is most decided
" in favor of the prohibition of the liquor
rattle. And whilst we do not assume to
dictate toindividusls or churches, the methods
they shall use to hasten the time when the So
CON shall take its proper place By the side
f slavery as an abolished relic of barbar,
I'm. Yet we would affirm it as a duty OF
yery pastor and church to take an open
spd decided stand against the aggressive
ork ard influence Of the liquor traffic.
Note.-Of the y ministers at the above
meeting two are undecided, two got no
vote, two vote for Foraker, and l6 vote for
Leonard.

THERE is something strange about the
periodical change Of sentiment in France.
The course ofthe evolution Of public senti-
ment has eliminated in q radical change
about every fifteen years. The Consulate
and the First Empire lasted fifteen years,
the Restoration exactly fifteen years more
then LOUIS PHILIPPE had his turn for
eighteen years. NAPOLEoS III. held MS
throne during nineteen years. The Third
Republic has now lasted fifteen years. And
from the condition Of public sentiment at
present it seems that another change in the
regime is about to take place. From the
great number Of Frencbmen who hold
visionary views about the government, 1t IS
hard telling what will next be insugurated.

TAE Bay City Tribunefn commenting on
q recent discussion between a Milwaukee
labor champion and 3 representative OF the
employing interest says:
Such friendly discussions as these would
probably lead to q better understanding be-
tween ~employers'and employees. The great
barrier between capitalists contractors,
business men and lsborers is the want Of 8
mutual understanding. There is no sntsg-
onism between these classes, only when
created by selfish interests, and q mutual
understanding would practically modify
those interests so far as 70 make mutual ex-
plantations equivalent to a court Of arbitrs-
tiOn. When the late strike was in progress

Ex-Governor Scott's Residence De
stroyed by Fire.

Ex-Governor Scott's Residence De-
stroyed by Fire.
About midnight last Thursday night fire
was discovered in the large brick residence
of Ex-Gov. R. X. Scott, north of the Wabash
depot. The property was more familiary
known as the "Joe Stout place. The house
was built nearly twenty yaers ago at a cost of
about $25, 900, and was at the time considered
to be the most costly residence along the
line of the Wabash railroad between Toledo
and Fl. Wayne. Financial disaster visited
the original builder and for a number of
years the property has been neglected. A
short time ago Mr.. Scott purchased the prop
erty and commenced repairing and fitting it
up preparatory to moving into it, but what
was designed for and would have been an
elegant home is now mass of charred ruins.
The flames were well under way when the
alarm was sounded and although the fire
department was promptly on hand they
could do but little to stay the progress of the
flames. There is little doubt that the fire
was the work of an incendiary. The loss is
estimated at $4,000; insured for $4,000.

A Novel in the Right Direction.

Manager Hyatt Frost has made new de-
parture with the VanAmburgh Show which is
now making its sixty fifth tour. Thirty years
ago he raised the price of admission to his
show to half dollar, and now in the thirty
ninth year of his reign he puts it back to the
old price of quarter of dollar which is in
deed "a move in the right direction" While
the admission fee has been lowered, the
standard of the company has been raised.
The show is newly equipped throughout, trav-
els by rail and enjoys all the modern i'm
provements. At the popular price the pro-
prietors will receive enormous patronage, for
at quarter head everybody can go, old and
young. Charles Reiche and Brother, the fa-
nous dealers and importers of wild beasts,
are now associated in the proprietorship of
the old established favorite and have not only
gathered most interesting and complete
menageIie, but secured in the high altitude
of the granite mountains of the Malay settle
ment relict of the prehistoric Inammoths
that existed prior to the food, none of which
have heretofore been seen since the deluge.
Quedah as the queer animal is called has
created surprise and wonder in the mids of
scientists wherever exhibited. In 1888 Schu-
machoff discovered the body of an Elephas
Primigenus, in Siberia, and in 1906 Mr..
Adams removed the body to st. Petersburgh
where the skeleton is now no exhibition.

gard to reports of the existence of the man.

AGood Time.

A Good Time.
Ed. NoRTHwEsT:-Monday the 18th inst,
being the 39th birthday of Mrs. W. H. Booher,
number of her relatives headed by her son
Eugene decided to meet at her residence in
Monroe township to pay their respects to the
lady in honor of the occasion. The first init
nation Mrs. Booher had of the coming of her
many friends was when the Holgate band
filed into the lane leading to the house.
The band was followed by wagons and bug
gies all filled to their utmost capacity, while
many came ON foot, all of whom soon filled
the door yard. After the band had played q
number of appropriate pieces large table
was spread in front of the house and loaded
with all the good things which eminent
housewives know how to prepare. Supper
was soon announced when all did justice to
themselves and the eatables. The entire
number present was 173 Mrs. Booher re.
ceived number of handsome presents, but
of them we failed to take an inventory. The
band played several more pieces, when all
wended their way home, wishing Mrs. B. 9
happy return of many more birthdays.
Thanks are due from all present to the
band b., for treating us to SO much good
music. Taken all in all the event was one
long to be pleasantly remembered.

A Big Fight.

A Big Fight.
When Saur's celebrated pills take notion
to attend case of malaria indigestion or
bilious fever, some of the biggest fights have
been known to take place. But in every case
where the pills have had anything like fair
show they have always proved to be the vic
tors. In addition to removing the above
diseases, they strengthen the stomach; create
an APPETITE and remove the terrible depress-
ion and dependency which result from in
digestion. Hundreds of people who have
used these pills in the family can and do
testify as to their wonderful curative proper
ties, that they have often prevented much
and long suffering by at once removing the
diseases which have attempted serious at
tacks upon the system which was from heat
and over work, and unable of itself to throw
off the poison which is so tenacious when it
once takes hold.
