Sheriff MaiioN lu-
bender we're legaM ID to
search the saloon Of DetleP Moenck
last Saturday noon. Their search
was rewarded by the finding Of
different brands of intoxicants,
which no effort had apparently been
made to conceal, although the vaults
OF Mr. Moenck's fratcrnal neighbors
had been made to disgorge but a
few days before. Two cases con-
tanned liquid labeled Swine oflife,"
other bottles were labeled "sarogcn,"
but in each case there appears an
endeavor to escape the penalties of
the law by attaching innocent or
unmeaniing names to the various
connections that have been so freely
sold by the dealer and eagerly
sought by the bibbler. Indulgence
in the beverages sold under these
misnomers has evidently been at
tended by results quite as satisfactory
as if it were the pure Kentucky pro-
duct, though the house from which
it was purchased guarantees the
retail dealer immunity from the pen
alties the laws OF Iowa attach to the
sale of intoxicants. Should further
evidence than that now in the hands
of the prosecution be necessary y
quantity will be sent to competent
chemist for analysis. This saloon
was the only one running in Audi
bon, but we have not learned wheth-
err the proprietor will continue in
the business, or surrender with the
grace of the two whose establish
ments were raided by the officers
last week.

c. c. Harper, than whom there
is not a better artist in Iowa, has
just finished crayon portrait of A.
w. Nailor, president of the Capital
City Bank of Des Moines. The
portrait was ordered by son of the
subject, with orders for the best work
possible for the artist to execute and
with promise of extra compensation.
Mr.. Harper has more than sustained
his cnviable reputation in this work,
indeed has produced likeness that
excels the photograph from which
it is taken. His portraits are far
superior to the work Of any foreign
copying house, and should secure
him the patronage Of every one in
Western Iowa, who is thinking Of
getting such work done. He is in
every way reliable and guarantees
satisfaction.

Talmage is better known throughout
the civilized world than any other
American. No public man in this
country is more honored and the sub
ject OF greater detraction. He is a
vast and picturesque figure in contem-
pOrary biography.
7. De Witt Talmage was born at
Bound Brook, New Jersey, in the year
1882. His education was superior,
and he was the fourth brother to enter
the ranks of Christian preachers. Be-
fore experiencing that charge in his
religious life which determined him to
adopt the sacred profession, he spent
three years in lawyers office. As a
first step to the ministry he entered
college at New Brunswick, and in due
time became graduate Of New York
UniveI sity.
His first pastOrate was at Belleyille,
New Jersey, where lie was popular,
ana remained three years. Suisse
quently, at Syracuse, n. Y, his preach
ing attracted considerable attention by
reason Of the same characteristics which
particularize it nova vivid style.
startling illustration. exaggerated ex-
preston. directness Of appeal, and an
extraordinary earnestness of delivery
effective in spite Of its harsh and shock
ing variety Of intonation and ungraceiul
gesticula,ion.
DR.. Talmage's removal to Philadel-
pbia increased vastly the number Of his
admirers. and his ministry Of seven
years in the Quaker City was a great
success. During this period he became
popular as lecturer. At the time of
his acceptance of the call by the Brook
hn church he had the choice Of that

and one IN San Francisco. lie removed
to Brooklyn in March, 1869, and soon
filled church which had been much too
large for the worshippers. The next
wear tabernacle Of sheet-iron was
built by the congregation for the bet
ter accommodation Of the large audi
ences which assembled to hear DR.. Tai
mage. lie spent most OF the time in
which the building was being erected
in a trip to Europe and back. The
tabernacle was opened by the pastor
three months after its building had
begun. All seats were free. In De-
cember, 1872, it was consumed by fire.
and the congregation assembled in the
Academy Of Music until February.
1874. when the new tabernacle was
opened.
This is one Of the largest buildings in
Brooklyn, and is known as the Taber-
nacle. 1t is semi circular in form, the
seats so arranged that all can see and
hear the minister, who breaches from a
platform simply furnished without desk.
A huge organ behind the speaker and
the use of the cOrnet to lead the singing
indicate one Of DR.. Talmage's wide de-
partures from the Presbyterian prece-
dent.
A few years ago, and again last year,
Or. Talmsge spent several months in
Europe, chiefly in Great Britain, where
his sermons have wide distribution.
His appearance in public created great
interest there. as at home, where his
Tabernacle, which accommodates five
thousand hearers very comfortably, is
often greatly inadequate to the admis-
sion of all who desire to hear him.
