Shall the w. C. T. o. Use Cider!

How many in repeating the
pledge, 81 hereby solemsnly promise,
God helping me, to abstain from
all distilled, fermented and malt
liquors, including wine, beer and
cider, and to employ all proper
means to discourage the use and
traffic in the same," have believed it
a solemn promise and asked God to
help them keep it?
How many have kept it in spirit
and N truth?
s,There are w. G. T. U. homes we
wot Of, where cider is kept and
used and there are sons in those
homes that are not beyond the
tempter's power.
Let US be "mercilessly straight
forward in dealing with ourselves
in these matters that we may stand
blameless of the downfall Of any
for whom God holds US responsible.
Does some sister, doubling, ask
the danger Of sweet cider. Oh that
the experience of one mother who
is one Of US, and with us, might be
told to you as it was told to us--of
the endless train of misery a "cider
mill" wrought in her home that
was out of reach of the saloon in
fuence.
If the cider always stayed sweet
we certainly would say there is no
danger in it. If people did not
like it after it ceased to be sweet,
we would still say it might be
used. If we had the power of divi-
nation and could tell which of our
boys would come to think the pro-
cess of fermentation improved the
taste, we might have some safe
guide as to when it should be ex-
cluded from the home. Since none
of these things are true; since the
fact exists that the majority of peo-
pie like it best when the "sparkle"
comes; since in this condition it
contains the element that kindles
its own fires, the element-alcohol,
that burns out physical and moral
manhood; since all this is true, we
say, No woman honestly purposing
to put no stone of stun bling in the
way Of her fellows, can safely use
cider in any Of its stages.
We were once asked in a public
audience, by some young ladies if
there was any harm in using cider.
We turned to four young men in
the audience and asked them if
they thought there was danger it it's
use?
They promptly responded eyes pr
Then turning to the 14th chap,
ter of Romans, we read:
ut is good neither to eat fl esh,
nor to drink wine, nor ANY THING
whereby thy brother stumbleth, or
is offended, or is made weak"
If Paul refused to eat meat that
he declared pure in itself because
it made his weak brother to STUN
BILE, shall not we give up cider
whereby we know many have been
offended and have been made
weak?
eve then that are strong ought
to bear the infrmities of the weak
and not to please ourselves"
"Let us therefore follow after the
things that make for peace, and
things whereby we may edify one
another"

Thousands fastened to Their Graves

Relying on testimonials written in
vivid glowing language of some MIRA
culous cures made by some largely
pulled up doctor or patent medic inc
has fastened thousands to their graves;
believing in their almost insane faith
that the same miracle will be performed
on them, and that these testimonials
make the cures, while the so-calied
medicine is all the time fastening them
to their graves. We have avoided pub
fishing testimonials. as they do not
make the cures, although We have

Oakland Avenue Litigation.

The three appeal cases of James W.
Heather, James Clear aud Mrs. J. B. Hanler
from the condemn alton of the district court
OF their property on the assessment by the
board Of public works for opening, widening
and extending Oakland avenue, came up for
hearing before Judge Brill IN the district
court yesterday, 1t being decided by W. II.
Mead, Esq, counsel for the appellants, and
Thos. ID. o'Brien, Esq, for the respondents,
10 try the three cases together.
There we're present nearly all the mem bers
Of the board of public works, and quite a
number OF citizens as witnesses aud specta-
tors. The claim Of the parties liHgaung Is
that the board allowed them insufficient and
uncompensatory damages for the property
taken from them for the improvement. The
hearing will probably consume most, " not
all of the two sessions OF the court to-day.

STATE FAIR GROUNDS.
Partial Compromise Between st. Paul
and MiuneaDOlis.

A session of the members of the st. Paul
and Minneapolis delegations and members
of the state fair committees of the two cities,
was held in the senate judiciary room yester-
day afternoon to consider the matter of state
fair grounds. DIR. Murphy was chairman,
and there were present Senators Griggs aud
Gilhllan, of St. Paul, and Lan9don, of Min
neapOis, and Representatives Smith, Cor
ni,h. Lienau and Hendrlckson, OF st. Paul,
and Evans and Hush, Of Minneapolis, with
Mcssrs. Lorlng, Oppenheim and Ingersoll
representing the committees.
The matter of state park was also con-
sidered In connection with the location OF
the state fair, and after very full and free
discussion, in which all present gave their
views, the following, submitted by DR.. Evans
OF Minneapolis, endorsing the propositions
was adopted to be submitted to the full legis-
lative deegatious
That ID Is the sense Of the joint committee
that 1t would be desirable, and we recon amend
that sufficient ground, at least 200 acres, for
fair purposes in sections % and 33, township
80, range 90, be secured; and also, that
at east 200 acres be secured, includ-
luz anu hluutidud ldllo luz
a state park and horticultural purposes.
II is understood that the city limits of st.
Paul shall not be extended west of a line
drawn through the center Of said fair grounds
and Minneapolis shall not extend east Of
said line, and neither city shal take into
their corporate limits the tract at Minne-
hsba.
This action will, 1t is thought, be en-
dorsed by the full legislative delegations Of
the two cities, and that under II separate bills
for securing the tracts designated viii be
prepared by the two delega-
tions and presented 10 the legislature. The
tract Of land designated for state fair pur-
poses Is what Is known as the Tatum tract,
which has been examined and favoraby con-
sidered by the 81. Paul committee It lea
between the tracks Of the Milwaukee q; st .
Paul and st. Paul ~ Manitoba railroads, max
ing 1t easy Of access By all the railroad lines
between the two cities, Auditing on the west
on the transfer property, aud is almost ex-
actly midway between the two cities. The
proposition adopted Is, Of course, quite crude
and will undoubtedly have 70 be devlatcd
from in some particulars In the formation Of
proper bill, but without materially affecting
the essential features. Anyway, an AMIGA
bic understanding having thus been reached,
there ought to be no trouble in perfectin the
details aud pseparing measure that would
receive favorable action By the legislature.

the Hastings & Dakota division of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee IL st. Paul road. Trains
were not, however, stepped.
The Chicago & Northwestern has issued an
order to all agents to the effect that the order
from the general freight department No. 25,
dated Jan. 13, 1885, has been withdrawn and
cancelled, and that freight for delivery at
Milwaukee to the Ludineton Steamboat Line
or the Flint, Pere & Marquette road may
again be received and forwarded.
The wheat blockade at Duluth has been
partially relieved For several weeks the
railroad has been able to deliver to the ele-
vator or warehouses in Duluth but forty cars
of wheat per day, owing to the limited stor-
age room. On Wednesday and Thursday
the storage capacity was so far increased that
the road unloaded ninety cars.each day If
they can keep this up this will soon relieve
the railroad of those 800 cars loaded with
wheat that have been laying upon the tracks
for some time.
The weather yesterday was again quite Sc

some modification had taken place though,
aud it was not quite as bad as it has been.
At GAINESVILLE it was Is degrees below. On the
Breckenridge division and extension it was
from to 10 degrees below. 1t was reported
that there was a blizzard at Winnipeg but il

the same time was between three and four
hours late while the fast mailwas two and
one half hours late and the Northern Pacific
was eight hours behind.

Judge Burr Had a Lonesome Day and
a Dull One.

Dull Olib.
When Mary Duffy doomed up in the bull
pen yesterday she looked as IL she had blown
in with the blizzard; she wore u Father Hub
bard ulster which may have been new when
Mr.. Noah constructed the ark, and her gen
eral makeup was anything but inviting. The
charge was street walking, and the copper
said that she had been trying to make a
mash but this theory was so absurd on it,
face that the court evidently took no stock in
1t. Tue fact is that the poor old girl is with
out home, money or friends, and she was abb
solutely compelled to promenade the streets.
In view Of her pitiful condition she was sent
out for ninety days.
The only other case Of any interest was
that of WIN. Thompson, free lunch ieud,
who was bounced from his route Wednesday
night aud who tried to raise stake by steal
ing. The miserable wretch cabbaged a pair Of
hand-me-dOwn shoes, and swift retribution
overlook him In the form OF a brawnv po-
liceman. He was sent to the bastile for
sixty days.
A. Simon, a contractor, was arraigned on
the charge OF violating the fire and building
ordinances; he was not ready for trial, and
the hearing was set for the 26th inst.
AS this cleared the docket Il recess was taken
and the clerk was granted permission 70 so
