A large audience gathered at the
Opera House Monday night to hear
a temperance address by Rev. Mer-
edith, President Of the Baptist Col
legs of Slnux Falls. The meeting
was under the auspices of the w. c.
T. L. and was called to order at
s o'clock. A large number Of the
singers from the several churches of
the city were present and the meet
ing was opened by a fine selection,
Miss May Hines at the organ, after
which Rev Sabin, pastor OF the Con-
gregational church, offered prayer.
Another selection was then given by
the choir and Rev Meredith in
troduced to the audience. He
spoke for an hour on this all alb
sorbing topic, temperance, catching
the attention of the audience from
the start, and holding them to the
end. Mr.. Meridth is a fluent and
graceful speaker, and his address
was one of the best ever delivered
in our city. He made it plain and
convincing to all, that a city could
thrive and flourish without saloons.
At the close of Rev. Meredith's ad.
dress ii was discovered that Capt.
VanEtten, the great temperance
lecturer of Dakota, was in the room
and he was hustled to the front
without any ceremony, and just
everlastingly poured hot shot into
the liquor traffic and it's aiders and
abettors for nearly another hour.
The Capt. was just returning home
from Iowa where he had been du-
ring the winter and delivered 1OS
temperance lectures and was Just
full to the muzzle. The meeting was a
most successful one and all were
highly pleased and entertained.
The choir sang Hold the Fort' and
Rev. G. w. Freeman pronounced
the benediction.
Tie following is the acknowledge
ment of the receipt of the money
raised here and sent to the Mt. Yer
non, H., cyclone sufferers !.

Like the restless hun that you may note
In 3 school Of eager learners.
Across the spring-bared prairie lands.

Though SHOWS do vanish, or SHOWS remain,
Old March wind will not worry.
And when in speeding DER hills,
Ordown the vale comes crashing,
We never for once should be sad or afraid
AS we list TO its boastfHi lasiiiig;
For March is a braggart and fun OF deceit,
And the shifting clouds in the moraing

You never could guess their warning.
