Two TEMPERANCE Articles.
TWinona Times.l

With the first issue Of the Vino.
ma Times, we sent out a prayer
that the cause of prohibition, then
agitating our county, might pre-,
vail. With the first issue of the
second volume we reiterate that
wish, and pledge our efforts in the
future as in the past to that cause.
In attempting to stop the sale of
liquor as a beverage, what we may
say is born of mo bitterness to
those engaged in this traffic. Good
men sell whisky-more's the pity.
But they do not see as we do, that
every crimson drop is the birth
place of sorrow, and every spark
ling glass rings the death knell of
some fond hope or some fair life.
We are prohibitionist, extradition.
list, ignltitionist, conflagritionist,
anything to stop the spread of the
fearful cancer, whose red lips are
licking the life blood of so many
of the best and most promising of
our fellow men. We have seen so
many sweet homes laid waste by
this curse, so many gentle women
stand in dumb agony as husband,
father, son or brother reeled down
to degradation and death, that we
have often wished we had the
power to grasp all the liquor there
was in the world, and spill it at
one swoop into the hell in which 1t
should have been first produced.
We are no fanatic, but we can see
and feel, and we know that the
misery it causes far outweighs any
possible pleasure 1t may produce,
and we would that every man and
woman in the land would rise aud
help to cast it out.

en- as a reason for the diminution
of crime by all writer's on the sub
jeet. There has been no period
during the existence Of the prOhib-
itOry law that it was so Tigidly en-.
forced as during the time above
mentioned. In Atchison, Leaven-
worth, Shawnee and WyandOtte
counties the open sale of intoxi-
eating liquors has never been in
terrupted, and these counties have
furnished a smaller proportion Of
eonyicts in proportion to their
population than the counties
where the enforcement of the law
has been considered of the FIRST
importance. The total population
of the four counties named is estl-
mated at liz, ,53S, and they have
furnished an aggregate number Of
ninety.fve conviets during the
last two years, while the counties
of Lyon, Urslon, Hervey, Miami,
Montgomery and Bourbon, with a
population of 1856, and being
counties where the law has been
expensive if not successful, have
furnished III conyiots during the
same period Of time. In other
words, from a prohibition popula-
tion of 115,S65, came 16 more con.
victs than from an anti.prohibition
population of ll7,53S. The report
ofthe Chaplain ofthe prison shows
that only % per cent. of the con.
yicts claim that drink caused them
to commit the crimes for which
they were committed; and there is
no doubt that this per cent. is
greatly exaggerated, from the fact
that In many cases the convict
rather than acknowledge that his
crime was willful aud premedidateJ
uses the convenient excuse OF
whisky to shelter himself from
self.conviction.

aFive hundred pOunds,n said

"Five hundred pounds" said
some one.
Zone thOusand,n growled Mr..
Quariteh, contemptuously. And
then, ESQ at a step, the book ad-
vanced. Mr.. Quaritch and Mr.,
Snowden, commission clerk, be-
ing the bidders, until E3,65O. was
bid by the latter. That was all he
had been commissioned to bid,
and so when Mr.. Quaritch said
"3,700,n there was for a minute no
response. Finally, Mr.. Ellis, a
London collector, bid ESQ more,
and a thrill of excitement ran
through the crowd, for Mr.. Ellis
is a determined bidder. But Mr.,
Quaritch, scarcely deigning to
glance at his new opponent, at
once settled the matter by raising
that bid, not by ESQ, but by f25C
at jump. To his dogged $1,000
there was no response. The ham
mer fell. The great French dealer
had not made a single bid.
Now, a paragraph about the
book and its history. 1t is called
the Mazarin Bible because it was
first noticed in the Mazarin Library
at Paris. Twenty-seven copies oI
it are in existance, of which sever
are printed ON vellum and the 9th
ers on paper. Two copies are il
the British Museum and two il
the National Library at Paris.
The book bears no inscription
showing when or where it wat
printed. 1t is well settled, how
ever, that it was the first bool
ever printed from movable metal
lie types, and was printed by Faus
and Gutenberg at Mayence, be
tween 1450 and 1865. The pape
edition'in the Paris Library bear
. written inscription on the las
page stating that the work of illu
minating aud binding it was finish
cd in August, 1456. The work Il
in two volumes. folio, and is print
ed in large Gothic type. two col
umns to page and about 50
pages to o volume. 1t is only o
late that it has brought very higl
prices. At the beginning of thi
century copies were sold for fror
s400 to $500 each, and this ident
cal copy which last week brough
$4,000 changed hands in 1924 o
1926 for $l,075.-London Cores

General Clingman of North Car.
olina, has written at considerable
length about the curative qualities
of tobacco, claiming that tobacco
is the greatest remedy for diseases
that is known. The method of
treatment is to soak the leaf for o
few minutes and then bind It over
the seat of the disease. General
Clingman says that no remedy will
80 quickly cure Group, dlphtheria,
rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, and
sprains. In other diseases, even
consumption, II has been of ines.
Unable servece. II is death to
inflammation, and for cuts, wounds,
sore eyes, etc, 1t is superior TO
anything before discovered. Gen.
Clingman makes these assertions
and the testimony he produces
shows that they are not founded
on sand. The writer of this can
testify that an excessively sore
throat, caused by Que Of the many
sndden changes that visit the Chi.
cago climate, was completely cured
by one application. Further than
this, the Lumberman cannot testi.
fy personally; but its faith is q
good deal larger than any mustard
seed, and it believes that to a very
great extent what General Cling
man says is true. If no leaves are
at hand twisted plug should be
thrown into water until the leaves
could be Strengthened out.

An Old Decision Reversed.



An Illinois railroad company re-
Gently sold some land to a farmer,
reserving the right to remove such
amounts of gravel as it might
need. When the company at
tempted to remove the gravel the
farmer served notice on it that it
mnst remove the gravel and moth
ing else-no sand, soil, dust or de.
cayed vegetation; for gravel only
was written in the bond. The
company brought tho case before
the Supreme Court of the State,
which decided that in the right to
remove gravel was implied the
right to remove what necessarily
went with it. The Supreme Court
evidently has little respect for the
precedent furnished by Portals
celebrated decision in the Shylock
case.v

Tertiary. He says he has received
at least half a bushel of letters
from temperance society ministers
and others, making inquiries re.

of crime under the prohibitory
law. Most of these letters came
from Kansas, but many of them
from Iowa, Maine and other tenn

On April 0, 1888, at the time Mr..
Jones took charge of the institu.
