Of DR.. Cronin. They have found the

The last time he ssw them was last sat

from Reveli & Co, and OF Williams. who
rented the cottage from the Carlsons.

More About the Ditch.

Butlittle has been done toward repair
ing the last break in the water ditch.
We understand that day or two after
the break. when the water was yet high
IN the lakes, that the wind dashed the
waves against the banks and materially
weakened them in several places; and
we also learn that the rip-rapplng at
the big pond is settling considerably
and that the stone will have to be taken
out and replaced.
We mention these unpleasant facts
that the people may have a chance to
investigate a little before voting $40, 600
for waterworks, on the 30th INST, one
week from to-day.
We believe that it would be folly to
vote the bonds until the ditch is put in
shape, and no one will likely pretend
that the ditch IS success yet. The
city council should lay aside its bicker-
ings and jealousies and pay some atten-
ton to the needed repairs ON the ditch.
If it is ever expected to use it. If a
manufacturing concern desired to come
here now. it could moi do il when it is
notorious that the water has not vet
run through the ditch five consecutive
days.
Now, that nearly $4,000 Of the PEG
pies money has been expended. it ap
pears that the city guardians should
exercise the same ingenuity and indus
Try to perfect and protect this valuable
property that they are using to get the
people to go further in debt.

To Suppress Whisky.

There was lively temperance mass
meeting at the Presbyterian church, in
this city, Monday evening, 21st inst.
The object of the meeting was under
stood to be to devise ways and means to
suppress the liquor traffic in this city.
Judge II. IL. Hardy was chosen chair
man and Royal II. Hahn secretary.
Enthusiastic speeches were made by
Rev. Cain, Rev. North, Elder Nation,
Rev. Sanderson, Judge Howe, G.. Nj
Martin. A. j. Jones, L. II. Logan, VIM
Klger, John Higgins, Z. NJ. Byerley and
others. The general sentiment appeared
to be that the law was being violated
daily in this city and that something
must be dcne to suppress the traffic in
intoxicants. Just how to do it was the
question.
1t was suggested by i. A. McClearey
that all who favored suppressing the
traffic meet at the.churcb at 10 o'clock
on Tuesday and from there proceed to
the places where it is alleged liquor is
being sold and to warn the dealers that
IL LbCy COAJinuC III CIlc DuSl1cS5. they
will do so at their peril. He asked all
who favored such a course to rise to
their feet. A number stood up; but a
much greater number remained seated.
Then occurred an exciting scene Mr..
McClearey said that he did not hereaf-
ter want to hear of those people who
would not rise up praying for the sup
preston of the liquor traffic as long as
they would not agree to help to put that
traffic down. This called for fiery re-
tort from Rev. North. the Presby terian
minister, who declared that he would
not have the gag applied to him in such
a manner, he claiming to have record
on the temperance question. Mr.
Byerley and Mr.. Logan followed Rev.
North in the same strain; and one
brother announced that he would stay
with Bro. McClearey every jump in
the road in suppressing the liquor
traffic. Mr.. McClearey saw that he had
put his foot in it' and SO he apoioglZed
to those whose feelings he had ruffled
and the white angel of peace once more
lowered over the assemblage.
The meeting then proceeded to or
ganize society for the encouragement
of temperance, and number of those
present signed the following preamble
and resolutions:
Whereas, intoxicating liquors are
being sold in our city in violation of
law; and whereas, we are in favor of
the rigid enforcement of said law;
therefore. resolved, that we pledge our
selves to use all honorable means to that
end and that we will aid and assist the
officers of the law in the discharge of
their duties in that direction. And we
hereby pledge ourselves, our time and
our means, so far as we are able, in that
behalf; and that this be permanent
organization to accomplish the above
purposes"
The meeting then adjourned to meet
in the courthouse next Friday evening.

judges gave it to the mare by some 80
or 40 feet. 1t Is estimated that Klowa
got something like 5000 of the Hazelton
money. Attorney A. j. Jones let the
light of his countenance illuminate our
office Saturday. He was here on legal
business and only remained a short
time Our private opinion on the
bond question is about this: If the salt
well is to be located outside the city
limits and the party that gets the bonds
for doing the work lives outside the city
limits. we don't see any great financial
aid to be gained by the city voting ponds
and paying taxes on them. The town.
ship will be the gamer by an increased
valuation of property while the city
will be taxed TO pay the interest and,
eventually, the bonds. 1t don't look
like it would pay the city, and we don't
believe the taxpayers of Hazelton are
ready just now to vote $1,000 aid to
Hazelton township just for the sake of
having salt works somewhere near the
city limits. w. G. A.

at her home on Little Mule creek, near
Lodi, of BrIght's disease, after a long
and painful Illness Deceased was born
in 1884, at Terre Haute, Ind, and came
10 this county IN 1878. She leaves a
husband and eight children who are all
residents of this county. She was a
consistent Christian, kind an affec-
tionate mother and an esteemed and re-
spected neighbor. Her ears were ever
open to the cries of distress. Among
the mourners we noticed little orphan
girl whom Mrs. Omey had long cared
for with a mothers tender hand: the
poor child wept as though her heart
would break and refused to be comfort
ed. During her long and painful ill.,
ness, the suffering mother never MUIR
INJURED, and often signified her readiness
TO go when the summons should come.
She was conscious up to the last mo-
ment and died in the full hope of bet
ter life beyond. Truly, 1.-THE memoir
