have been abandoned to the grazing
herds and OF course viii yield nothing.

Tuesday morning we drove t. Al
pena where Mrs. Blank took the train
for Nebraska and we editor Tor Huron
TO meet with those of the fraternity in
favor ct constitutional prohibition.
The beautiful irregularity Of trains
kept us vicwing TIE sights in Wolsey
and but for the genial landlord of the
Cotton House and Editor Bliss, Of the
journal, time would have hung as
heavily upon our hands as that upon
The little boys who was waiting TO
go to a picnic.
We arrived st Huron III time to be
pleasantly doniciled az the Wright
House Tor the night and assist in
adopting the following resolutions:

tion clasp hands in the struggle for
this principal without regard to party
lines. that our pest safety lies in re-
leasing no effort until the votes are
counted next October.
