Goslee, well known hereabouts. Rev.
A. W. Edwards performed the marriage
ceremony. The event was doubly inter

cellent collation. was served. Numerous
beautiful presents were presented, many
being received from abroad. The
bride and groom have the best wishes of
a host of friends for long life of unal.
loved happiness and prosperity. Mi and
Mrs. Goslee took the HAS a. m. train,

Last August a slick looking young
man presented school order on district

urer's office to be cashed. 1t apparel
regular, bearing the names of the proper
officers, and had the following endorse
ment on the back: County Treasurer:

back the first money draw. J. KNIT
SON, Dist. Treas" Therefore, our accom-
modating treasurer, Mr.. Case, paid over
the cash $74 70, and 10 per cent. interest

ported to have been gwen for lumber,
and Mr. Case knew the district had just
built new school-house. The names
of Ole A. Berg. district clerk, aud Ole
johnson, director. were written IN the
proper blanks for signatures. 1t was
drawn in favor of Charles johnson, and
the man who presented the order claimed
to be that man, and duly endorsed the
same as Charles johnson. In the March

-WoMAN's CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE
UNION branch of this order was or.
ganized IN Austin Sunday afternoon, at
the NJ. E. Church. Mrs. Carrie A. Knox,
who represents the state organization,

for the cause. She had a congregation

also present; besides Revs. Edwards and
Wright of this city. Mrs. Knox said
there were now 10000 Unions in the Uni
ted States with membership of 200, 900.
1870 Of these Unions were in Minnesota,
with $500 members. 'Education and
agitation" is the mission of the Union.
No great reform was ever successful
without constant agitation. Then the
rising generation must be educated on
the evils of intemperance. Temperance
schools must be started. and temperance
text books be put limo our public schools
Fifteen states in the Union, including
such as New York, Pennsylvania and
Michigan, already have laws making the
use of temperance text books compulsory
1t was an interesting meeting, and nearly
every one present signed the pledge, and
an agreement to become members of the
