OPEN THE CHURCHES.

Rev. ]. 81. Bowker, of Madison, came
to kenosha county for the purpose Of
lecturing on temperance.
We all know that the greatest evil in
our country, at the present time, is the
liquor. traffic; and there are but few, il
any, who seem to be more earnest and
more eager to help abolish this curse
from the country than Rev. j. III.
Bowker. A person who is so earnest,
and labors so faithfully for this cause,
and for the benefit Of this community
ought to be welcome in every home.
Every church ought to be freely OPEN
ed with welcome for his services.
Wednesday evening the Wesleyan
Chapel was not opened, and it ought to
be q public shame to the people. Is it
any better than persecution Who
would not be " Disguised" with such a
community?
II some of the people of Asbury are of
such strict discipline that they do not
care to hear temperance lecture on
Sunday evening (which is of as much
interest to them in regard to their
eternal life as the gospeD they certainly
ought to have enough religion to not
make sport of a speaker and stranger.
We do not refer to their absence that
evening lfer it was pronounced to be
Stormy, but to their remarks. We
sincerely hope that Rev. Mr.. Bowker
will not get discouraged, but that the
people, old and young, will be as eager
as he is to help abolish this curse, which
makes SO many homeless, and robs
heaven of so many souls. May God
bless all the Prohibitionists in the
country with success.
Respectfully,

large houses, buckets of water should be
placed on every landing, a little salt being
put into the water. Always endeavor to
attack the bed OF fire; if you cannot
extinguish fire, shut the window, and
be sure to shut the door when making
good your retreat. A wet silk handker-
chief tied over the eyes and nose will
make breathing possible in the midst of
much smoke, and blanket wetted and
wrapped around tho body will enable
person to pass through sheet of flame
in comparative safety. Should lady's
dress catch fire, let the wearer at once
lie down. Rolling may extinguish the
fire, but if not, anything (woolen pre-
ferred) wrapped tightly round viii effect
the desired purpose. A burn becomes
less painful the moment air is excluded
from it. For simple burns, oil or the
white of egg can be used. One part of
carbolic acid to six parts of olive oil is
found to be invaluable in most cases,
slight or severe, and the first layer of
lint should not be removed till the cure
is complete, but saturated by the appli-
cation of fresh outer layers from time to
time. Linen rag soaked in mixture of
equal parts of lime water and linseed oil
also forms good dressing. Common
whiting is very good, applied wet and
dampened with sponge.

STOCKTON, Dec. Sd, 1887.
Mr.. EDITOR: A short sketch of my
journey from Bristol to California may
be of interest to your readers.
Nothing of more than common
interest till we reached Omaha; then a
wonderful sight of people and a great
strife. All have to change their tickets
and baggage for different parts all wild
with fear that the cars will leave before
they can make the change from Omaha.
I look upon it as a fine farming
country all through Nebraska and Colo
RADIO. Not much settlers along the rail-
road, except at stations; there they have
large buildings and nice improvements.
In Colorado they have to irrigate with
great labor and expense, but they have
a way that Horace Greeley suggested
many years ago to bring water from the
mountains. Denver is large city; it is
said to have a hundred thousand inhabit-
ants. It is watered by bitches from the
river, fed by snow-topped mountains.
The mountains and rocks are wonderful

mostly surrounded by high bluffs that
rise hundreds of feet, and are divided
by what they call canyons, up which
they run with large teams and narrow
gauge railroads by steam after ore in
the mountains from ten to twenty
mills crush the rocks in Boulder by water
power, bag it and take it to Denver for
smelling. They have large coal beds
near Denver. Coal costs about three
dollars ton. Cars back out of Boulder
and run up to Cheyenne through good
farming country most of the way. From
thence to Ogden is rise of, they say,
above the level, eight thousand and two
hundred feet. Then we descended
through the rocks and mountains and
snow till we got into California, which is

HOW TO ACT AT A FIRE.

In a lecture before the Society of Arts,
London, Mr.. A. w. G. Ghean gave the
following concise and simple directions
how to act on the occurrence of fires.
Fire requires air; therefore, on its ap-
pearaAce every effort should be made to
exclude shut all doors and windows.
By this means fire may be confined to a
single room for sufficient period to en-
able all the inmates to be aroused and
escape; but if the doors and windows
are thrown open, the tanning ofthe wind
and the draughtwill instantly cause the
flames to increase with extraordinary
rapidly. 1t must never be forgotten
that the most precious moments are al
the commencement of fire, and not a
single second of time should be lost in
tackling it. In a room, table cloth
can be SO used as to smother . large
sheet of fame, and . cushion may serve
to beat it out +; a coat or anything SINH
lar may be used with an equally success
full result. The great point is presence
Of mind calmness in danger, action

The Portland express which left Bos-
ton for Portland on Tuesday afternoon
met with a serious accident between
Breiford station and the Haverhill
bridge over the Merrimac river, caused
by rails spreading near frog on curve,
where the turn is made to run on the
bridge. The train consisted of an en-
CINE. two baggage cars, smoking, parlor
and three passenger cars. The engine
passed safely, but the smoker and two
passenger cars left the track. The
smoking car ran on to the bridge and
turned over. One coach smashed into
the water-tank house and the other
through the sleeper. Ten persons
are known to have been killed, and
about fifty were injured. Several of the
injured are expected to die. Among
the killed were G. N. Cole, of Lawrence,
Mass, wife and child.

was the exploding of the crown bolts of

of the crown sheet of boiler is gener-

he cannot well guard against.
