questions was: 'What has become of
the non-partisan w. G. T. U. that the
Minneapolis Tribune and Journal have
been trying to organize the past two

CONVENTION NOTES.
The following in an evening paper,

great injustice. He said no such thing:
Thousands had been dragged from
the lazar houses of shame, and woe to
unite themselves with the movement
that was dearer than all party OF all
other earthly ties-the cause of prohibit
ton"
Considerable activity was shown in
the distribution OF temperance and pro-
hibition literature. The Lever, of Chi
cago, was freely circulated and many
subscriptions secured, many taking the
paper because st. John was one of the
editors. The Progressive Age was also
on the field, and the l. 0. G. T. scat
tered circulars.
o. Bailey, the noted singer of Elk
River. is man eighty years old. His
appearance would indicate that he was
about sixty.
Bishop Fitzgerald will address the
convention to-day. j. III. Hector, the
"Black Knight" will speak at2 o'clock.
Michael Flaming will talk with his lit
tie piece OF chalk, in the evening. c.
n. Woodward. of ST. Paul, will do the
same thing at II o'clock this morning.
