The beauties Of n Bath Room.

now the home Of M. Daniel Wilson, the
son-in-law Of President Greyy, and the
bathroom still remains one Of the fea-
lures Of the interior. The walls are COW

larger than span. Between these panels
runs slender line of gold, and at the in
tersections hang metal drops like tears,
and just long enough to be reflected in the
glass. The effect is most limpid and bril-
liant, and the panels are so small that the
purposes of mirror are skillfully frus-
trated. The bath il of solid silver, with

The Side OF the Strongest BattaIions.

Nowhere in history is the profane idea

5000 or even 10000 men against 5000. II
affords some such instances where the
stronger force was surprised by rapid and

"Show me that man that credits

"The Dow law is the best thing
we have ever had"
These are the utterances of Francis
Murphy that are calling down upon
him the wrathful vituperation of the
professional prohibitionists of Ohio.
1t has always been matter or COM
ment that in none of his public ad-
dresses has Murphy endorsed the
prohibition party, but it is only re-
Gently that he has alluded to his
omission. Murphy appeals to the
drinker, pointing out the error of his
ways and the consequences of persis-
tence IN the habit lie is the kind
of physician who applies the healing
salve to the social ulcer and, with
softness and gentleness and sympathy
removes the irration. The prohibi-
tionists is the "army surgeon" who
drives the lance around the painful
spot and, with a twist of the wrist,
would tiirt the disorder from the
social body, no matter how danger
ons wound is left or how incomplete
the cure may be. Murphy strives to
lead men to reform, by exciting their
love of God and mankind. The pro-
hlbition method is to reform men by
legal choking. AS minister Muir
ply would preach the eternal love
and forgiveness of the Father. Put
the average prohibitionist in the pull
pit and he would terrorize the sinner
with the most awful pictures of hell,
if he worked on the prohibition plan.
What are the result of the two m eth
ods of reformation? Murphy is
eagerly listened to by thousands,
where the prohihitionist has an audi
encc of 10. He converts thousands,
whereas prohibition drives the habit
from the saloon-out of reach of all
regulatlon-to the private sideboard,
within reach of women and children
and convert none, for no man is con-
verted who is not convicted Of his
error

the principal business men of Kim
ball has been formed this week for
the purpose of buying wheat. The

surrounding country to obtain the
highest price for their grain that the
market will warrant. The Chicago
market price less the actual cost of
buying and the transportation will;be
paid. No profit Is contemplated.
Q. b. Orcutt, formerly in charge of

the buying, at the warehouse belong
