Corkhill of seeking to have him hanged in

Col. Corkhil was born in Harrison county,
Ohio, forty-eight years ago. His father was
q Methodist preacher, and George was like

1.-THE regular meetings of the w. O. L. q. of
Yankton viii be held at 8 p. m. ON the first
and third Thursdays of each month, at the
Methodist church,
A large and deeply Interested au-
dlencs listened to the arguments IN
favor of Prohibition presented by Rev.
c. +. Clapp and Rev. G. E. Hager, on
last Sunday evening. The meeting was
preliminary to the formal organization
OF . Mems Prohibition christian union,
Which was effected ss Thursday evening
at the Congregational church. The
leaders of the new movement evidently
believe. as Henry Ward Beecher in his
recent London lecture expressed it, that
"the conservatives are very useful as
crags on the way down hill but they
have never been able &c draw anything
np.hlll." Mr.. Clapp was the first speaker
and made some damaging allegations
against the drinker and dealer in in
toxicating liquor which he defed them
or their representatives. to refute. He did
not believe in compromising with
evil and had no sympathy with that
wrong-headed class OF citizens who don't
want to interfere with the saloons be-
cause forsooth "they help to make
business" The liquor-seller was charac-
terized as o parasite, (the meaning of the
term being made Enthusiastically clear by
familiar illustrations aud it was shown
that while every other industrious cIti-
zen is q producer or a useful server of
Others and benefits society, this creature
not only produces nothing-absolutely
nothing.-but while living on the honest
toll of the rest is a positive element OF
evil, creating misery, wretchedness, de-
graduation, sorrow u~nspeakable; and the
kind of business" for the CITY or state
which harborB him is TINT found in the
provision of jails, prisons and poor. houses
for his victims.
MIR. Hager followed with a few
words, q telling remark being
that tie statement is frequently made
that the foreigners are to blame fer the
increase in the number of saloons in our
country, but the foreigners cannot be
held responsible for the condition of
affairs in Yankton since they only nua-
Dor one-third OF It's population. If the
liquor element holds sway here .khs
Americans have themselves to aDswer
for it.
