plan of a military organization. Al
though of recent origin, the Salvation
lists number 1850 paid officers, and
have obtained foothold in seventeen
countries, numbering many thousand
followers. The success of Gen. Booth
was SO great in London that the Queen
sent him an expression of approval for
having won so many of her subjects to
virtue, temperance and religion. A
company of Saiyationists came to Be
lott, in this state, some months ago,
and commenced holding meetings in
their peculiar way. They were vio-
lently assailed by misbehayed persons
in that city and badly treated; the as
sailants were very justly arrested.
Their persecution in Bel0it gained
them influential friends and protectors,
who, but for their ill-treatment, might
have given the Salvationists no partic-
ular attention. Persecution has often
done more to help cause than can be
done for it in any other way. The
mob violence which has assailed the
Salvationists in other cities has tended
to gain them friends. The Salvation
lists in Chicago and their leader will,
of course, be one of the sensations for
little time.

GILT-EDGED BUTTER.

Gilt-edged butter may be expensive,
but it is a wholesome luxury, says CO.
temporary. 1t warns the body, and
makes the wheels of life roll easily and
smoothly along, and thus promotes
health and happiness, for health and
happiness are associated. The man
who supplies the world with fine butter
is a benefactor of his race, and puts the
earth he controls to good use, and is en-
titled to respect, encouragement and pro-
lection, from the society whose happi-
ness and welfare his labors promote.
With poor butter it is the reverse in ev-
erything. 1t is unpalatable, and instead
of aiding, it interferes with digestion
and vitiates the blood, and is therefore
unwholesome. 1t not only does not
please anybody it is often even loath-
some. The man who makes poor but
ter does the world no good. His labors
are worse than wasted his product be
comes burden to society, and works
loss to himself. He is no good on earth
His name is by-word and reproach
and he is unworthy of encouragement
or protection. He is only a fit subject
for pity and the labors of a missionary.

SOCIETY OF CHRISTIAN EN-
DEAVOR.

The Society of Christian Endeayo1
held its first annual meeting in the
Congregational church last Sunday
evening. The following are the newly.
elected officers: N. r. Allen, Jr., Presi-
dent; Bessie K. Wells, Vice-President
H. M. Baldwin, Secretary and Treasur-
er. The work of the society is under
the direction Of committees. as follows
Prayer, Lookout, Relief, Social, Mis-
sionary.
The meeting ON Sunday evening
opened by prayer and vocal music by
the church choir, Mr.. Jones, of Chicago,
presiding at the organ. Miss Bessie
Wells read a report, giving a general
outline Of the association during the
past year. Miss Agnes Petrie read a
report on the prayer meetings and
the manner of their conduction. Miss
Jennie Blinn read report from the
Lookout committee. Each of these
reports reflected much credit on the
writers, the sentiments being express
ed in choice language, and in spirit
of earnestness for the future int erests
of the society. The society consists of
two classes of members, active and
-" associate" The active members are
required to be members of churches.
1t was organized year ago, with a
small beginning, under the auspices of
the Congregational church, and now
numbers "a active members and Z as
sociate-all young people. After a
short address by Rev. Mr.. Bray the
meeting was dismissed.

Now that the time of year is at hand
for filling silos, it will be well for new
beginners to post themselves as far as
possible, that they may lessen their mis-
takes. One that an old hand suggests,
is, if the silo has square corners, that
extra pains be taken to tread in at the
corners very solidly, because the friction
of the two walls retards settling, and
there is more likelihood of the air getting
in at the corner. Another point, not
withstanding Prof. Armsby does not en-
dorse it, is to fill slowly enough to have
the contents heat up to from 125 to 1853 Q
before putting on a fresh supply. Those
who have had the best and sweetest
silage, as the vast majority report, say
they filled slowly, and made the food
most palatable and satisfactory that way.
If not more learned, older and more ex-
perienced persons hold to the warming
up theory, as the better way.-Hoard'S

TOO MANY RAILROAD ACCI-
DENTS.

Railroad accidents sometimes occur
when no one is apparently to blame |;
but often these disasters, involving the
loss of human life, occur, III which it is
given out, emo one to blame" The
terrible disaster last week on the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul road at
Rio, by which So many lives were lost,
was the result of carelessness, for
which the officers of the road may not
be responsible, provided they had the
best of evidence that the man employ
ed as switch tender was every way
trustworthy and reliable. Quite as
much responsibility rests on the switch
tender as the conductor. There have
been too many catastrophes the past
year resulting from misplaced switches
The men employed in this business are
not paid high wages, and for that rea-
son, perhaps, are not always selected
from the most reliable classes. At the
rate railroad facilities are being ex
tended in this state, the time is at hand
when large per cent of our population
will be on the railroads every day. 1t
is therefore demanded that the best
arrangements for the safety of life
should he devised by railroad CON-
panies, or, if legal enactments are need
ed to secure this end, let them be OBJ
tanned from the legislature.

OBJECTIONAL WORDS.

Many months ago the formation Of
a society of young women for the sup
preston of objectional words was
mentioned in the papers. The result
is reported to have been successful in
eliminating many words from every
day conversation which tended to mar
language in common use, not only
among young women, but those of all
ages. The society affixed penalty for
using any word or phrase on the pro
scribed list, which consists of fifty de-
clared Objectionable. The penalties, it
is said, were promptly collected and
expended for charitable purposes.
The prescribed words and expressions
were such as "you BET" :" o! mercy"
"you are crazy" "gosh," etc. The
society has two-fold beneft--one is
to render conversation more chaste
and refined, and the other helps chart
ties, which in every community are
more or less worthy of support. An
educated public sentiment regards the
employment of improper words less
excusable by young women than
young men, and the latter might de-
rive great benefit if such restraints
were placed upon them. AS for the
middle-aged and old, whose habits of
speech have been long fixed, any re-
form of this kind would be extremely
difficult. Here comes in the duty of
every school teacher having the care
of the youth, some of whom are every
day acquiring the habit of using vulgar
and Objectionable words. Every
teacher would do well to make list of
the Objectionable words and phrases in
use among the school scholars, and de-
wise some plan for their suppression;
if necessary, mild penalty might be
attached for using words on the pro-
scribed list. Every thoughtful parent
would thank. the teacher for such su.
pervision over school boys and girls.
Habits formed in early life in the use
of vulgar or improper expressions are
apt in after years to stick as closely as
the tabled shirt of Nessus, which tore
his flesh whenever he tried to diyeSt
himself of it.

FARMERS, INSTITUTES.

Superintendent Morrison announces
in the Madison Journal the general pro-
gramme of the fifty-two Farmers In
stitutes to be held in this state the
coming winter. Tie services of one
hundred workers will be secured to
carry forward these meetings; every
thing pertaining to the science of
farming will be treated upon by men
well known from different states. The
meetings will impart more valuable
information in relation to farming in
terests than ever before during any
year III this state. The institute in
Kenosha county, which will be held at
Salem, will not occur until towards
the last of the series, due notice of
which will be given.

The unexpected large Democratic
vote for Member of Congress in this
district was not only surprise in this
state, but also in other states. The rea-
son for this strange action was not be-
cause Mr.. Caswell is unpopular, or
that he has not been an active and
useful Member of Congress; but the
cause must be sought for in another
direction. The unlooked-for large vote
in Racine for the Democratic candidate,
DoOlittle, needs explanation. 1t is
said, with some semblance of truth,
that the Republicans of Racine turned
against Caswell because the EIkhorn
convention refused to nominate their
favorite and promising young orator,
who was their particular choice. If
this be not the true cause of the Re
publican detection, then what was it?

THE BATTLE OVER.

The great political battle of the
November election is over; the noise
of the heavy cannonading and guns of
smaller calibre has ceased. The smoke
has cleared away, the victors are joy.
Gus and the wounded are being taken
care of. In this city the election pass
ed Off quietly, with no marked disturb
ances. 1t is wise law of the state
that requires the liquor saloons to be
closed on election days; and if only
the front doors be shut, and clandestine
ingress the back way, the law serves a
good purpose.
AT this date only general results can
be given in the different states where
elections were held; the figures more
in detail will appear next week. In
this State Governor Rusk has been
elected by majority of not less than
$4,000, and the balance of the state
ticket by a less majority. The legisla-
ture, it is estimated, will have over
twenty Republican majority, which in
sures the election of a Republican
United States Senator next winter.
Ambitious Democrats who have been
planning to succeed Senator Sawyer
will be obliged to wait while.
There are nine Congressional dis
tricts in this state. which now stand
Z Republicans and 2 Democrats. In
the election last Tuesday the Republi-
cans gain one and lose one, therefore
the political situation remains the
same us heretofore. The vote in this
Congressional district is unexpectedly
close. Racine city gave Doolittle o.
500 majority; the labor party in that
city is stronger and better organized
than in any other part of the state,
and cast its vote in solid mass for
Doolittle. Caswell is elected by a ma
jority of about 400.

The smash-up and conhagration of
last week on the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul Railroad at Rio. a small
station this side of Portage, wherein a
large number of passengers were crush
ell and cremated, is too horrible to con-
template, 1t matters not on whom
the blame rests, the consequences are
the same to the victims. So many
CONGREGATIONS have occurred at similar
accidents by the crushing of stoves full
Of fire that it is time the practice of
heating passenger cars with stoves was
prohibited by law, and hot air or some
other device substituted. To be crush
ed and imm0vaOly wedged in among.
broken seats, timbers, iron rods ard
splinters is horrible, but to be fastened
beyond the power of relief, with the
flames roaring around, and every mo
ment drawing nearer, intensifes the
horror. The saws and axes which are
carried in each car are of little use
when the fire prevents an approach to
the wreck, and accidents usually hap
pen where no water or conveniences
are at hand for extinguishing the flames,
and the fire buckets carried in the cars
are of little use. We would suggest
that strong firemen's hooks with long
handles be carried on the deck of each
car which might be made available in
relieving passengers where other
means fail
Such accidents entail upon the COM
panies severe losses, and no doubt all
precautions are taken which human
ingenuity can devise, but the public
will clamor all the same when such
wholesale catastrophes occur, for, usu-
ally they are the result of the delin-
quency of some one who is entrusted
with the responsibility of looking after
the security of life and property. d.

TIE SALVATIONISTS.

This peculiar sect of religionists was
unknown in this country until within
the past few years. 1t had its origin
in England, Gen. William Booth being
its founder. He arrived in Chicago

welcome reception by the followers of
that religion, accompanied by loud
hallelujahs, sound of trumpets, from
bones, beating of drums and the moi e
of cymbals. The movements of the

Sore Ewes

The eyes are always in sympathy with
