out at 2:30 Thursday to extin-
guish an incipient blaze in the Gen.

turned on the fire was put out by a
private hose. The damage il
slight, more from water than fire.
The alarm was heard only by few
persons, the night being windy and
the bell in the City Hall so shell
tered as to allow little of the SOUND
to escape. Another bell should be
put in use or the old one placed II

Speaking of the election in Au-
drain county the other day, the
Mexico LEDGER says: "The wet
and dry 'cappers' both kept away
from the polls in this city and the
voters were allowed to vote as they
pleased, which was right" OF
course it was. This thing of leg
ging and begging for votes on cleo

ment of one of the inalienable
rights of an American citiEen---that
of voting for whomsoever or what
soeyer he likes, without let or

Local Option,

FROM Ge 81. LOUIS PoSt-blSpateh.
The first pulpit attack on the
Local Option campaign was thun-
dered forth yesterday at the WASH
ington Avenue Presbyterian
Church. Before beginning his SER
mon the pastor, Rev. DR.. J. H.
Brooks, read the announcement of
the Local Option meeting at the
First Congregational Church in the
afternoon under the auspices of the
W. c. 7. U. After reading the
notice over very slowly, he said
that request had come to him to
allow the use of the church for the
same purpose. He wanted to say
once for all that he had nothing to
do with saying what should be done
with the building outside of the
regular church worship. That
permission lies with the Board of
Trustees and they must be seen.
Then putting little more empha-
sis into his tones he told the con-
gregation he had something more
to say. The holding of Local OPP
tion meetings in the churches on
the Sabbath he declared to be a
violation of the Sabbath and des-
ecration of the church. 1t is a po-
litical question and improper to be
discussed in the house of God. It
was no excuse to say that morals
are involved in the Local Option
campaign. The Democratic and
Republican leaders would say that
the welfare of the country depend
ed ON the success of their party
and might also claim that therefore
they ought to use the Sabbath to
advance their party interests. En-
thusiasts are opening a food-gate
of evil by holding these Sunday
political meetings. If they con-
tinued the spectacle might be pre-
sented of churches on the Sabbath
being given over during the CON-
ing campaign to meetings of the
Prohibition party.

We, the undersigned officers of

examining samples of pure butter,
lard and butter, and tallow and but
ter mixed, which had been tested
in the same manner as that which
Mr.. Beagles sold III. Raster, and
which was tested in st. Louis, are
satisfied that the butter which Mr..
Beagles sold was pure butter and
in no way adulterated.

Notary Public.
As stated in the LEDGER some
time since, the trouble with the
butter appears to have resulted
from melting it. The butter was
frozen, and Mrs. Beagles melted it
so she could work itinto rolls. The
melting, of course, cid not make il
impure, but left it in such a condi-
tion as would lead any one ex-
amining it to think il was adulter-
ated. We regret exceedingly the
trouble and anxiety which Mr..
Beagles and family have experienc.
ed in regard to this matter, all
brought about by the rejection oi
the butter by the gentleman who
tested it in St. Louis. We cheer
fully give place to the result of the
church trial, and desire to give il
as much publicity as we did the
report of the butter tester in st
Louis. Mr.. Beagles desires us tc
notify the public that any one il
the future, who gives circulation il
any way whatever to the rumol
that he sold adulterated butter, viii
be held strictly liable to the law
and will be prosecuted to the full
extent of the same. If any ont
now thinks that Mr.. Beagles solo
adulterated butter, all he has to dc
is to say so, and MI. Beagles vii
then be in shape to prove his limo
cence in court of law, which he il
ready and anxious tt do.

OF course, if the train broke down
