BOOK NOTICE.
The Temperance Movement or the
Conflict Between Man and
Alcohol.

By Senator Henry William
Blair, issued by the William E.
Smythe Company, is the latest
book on our table. 1t is elegantly
bound, and contains over five hun
dred pages Of matter invaluable to
the temperance worker. The au-
thor treats the subject from a
scientific stand point, and does
his work well. There are tables,
statistics and compilation of valu-
able facts, which no temperance
worker can be without. The style
is very plain and simple; the ar
rangement of the subject logical,
and the book, wei think one that
should be in the hands of every
Legislator and person interested in
the redemption OF man from the
slavery of intemperance. The
book contains the portrait of all
the great temperance leaders, ,pro-
minent among them, Rev. Geo. G..
Haddock, the Iowa martyr, and
Hon. Albert Griffin, chairman of
the anti-saloon Republican Nation
al committee and Edeson of New
York Mail and Express, the paper
which did so much to elect Benia-
min Harrison President of the
United States.

aHe that goeth forth and weepetb,

"He that goeth forth and weepeth,
bearing precious seed, shall
doubtless come again with rejoic-
ing, bringing his sheaves with
him. Do you have little conf
dence in your own ability to do
good? To you he He says, "If
any man lacks wisdom, Let HIM
ask Of God, who giveth to all men
literally, and upbraideth not; and
it shall be given him. Have you
been misrepresented or misundel-
stood, by those you supposed We re
friends? To such Christ says
BLESSED are ye, when men shall
revile you, and persecute you, and
shall say all manner Of evil
against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad:
for great is your reward in heaven.
Have sorrows compassed you
about, as with a flood? God shall
wipe away all tears from their
eyes. 90 might go on enumer-
ating but let each of US here
tonight, study them and see to it,
that we have complied with their
conditions. Then we can confident
ly appropriate them to ourselves
and whatever we attempt in the
Masters cause, We can rest on the
assurance of Christ: "Lo, l am
with you always, even unto the
end of the world"

WHAT BECOMES OF The MONEY

Many things take place in the
management of public affairs thai
the people know nothing about
These things are often covered uI
because of political influences OF
other pretexts that serve to keep
them from the public ear.
However there is no good reason
why the people, who pay the taxes,
elect men to Office, and perform
every duty OF citizenship should
not know every thing connected
with public affairs.
1t may be said that certain
transactions do not affect more
than one individual in the county,
and that so long as he makes no
complaint the pHblic has no right
to know anything about it. But it
must be remembered that a public
act that affects one individual
directly, has an indirect influence
on all.
As an instance of the above,
property may be placed on the de-
linquent list, and the owner re.
main ignorant Of the fact till the
property is advertised and sold to
satisfy the claims OF the state
against him. When this becomes
known he hunts up his tax re-
ceipts and in great perturbation of
mind hurries to the county seat
and presents his receipts for the
years delinquent, and thus saves
his property.
But there is another phase to
the proceedings, and here all be-
come interested. The money has
been paid and recelpted for, but
the fortunate possessor of the tax
receipt is SO overjoyed at saving
his home for wife and children
that he never thinks to ask what
became of the money; and what
did become of it is never learned
by the public. AT this particular
juncture when narrow escapes are
being made from penury and pow
erty, wherever an effort is being
made to collect delinquent taxes,
the question, What becomes of the
should be frequently and
forcibly propounded.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

When the aged die, we are not
shocked, because it is the debt
that all must pay, and we know
that payment cannot be long de-
ferred.
1t is often happy release from
harassing infirmitles, and the
bufdens of life are joyfully laid
down.
When the infant opens its eyes
in this world, only to close them
in the sleep of death, we feel that
it has happily been spared the
cares and sorrows incident to this
life.
But the removal of young man
in the strength of his youth, shocks
us, and fills us with inexpressible
sadness.
In view of these reflections,
RESOLVED: That while we yield
in submission to the inscrutable
dealings of God, we deeply mourn
the removal Of our friend and
classmate, John d. Fulcher.
RESOLVED: That in his death
we have lost faithful and earnest
friend, and conscientious fellow
student, esteemed alike by teach
ers and comrades.
RESOLVED: That copies of these
resolutions BE- published in the
Adair county and Schuyler coun-
ty papers, and 2 copy be trans
mitted to the parents Of tie de-
ceased.
