Mrs. Mary A. Woodbridge occul led
the time regularly allotted to Sabbath
8 ;hool session at the Congregational
church last Sunday. She spoke con-
cerning the cause with which she is so
prominently identified and to which
she has given freely of her time, tai
ents and energy. She said she w:s
member of the only organic alton fav-
oring temperance teaching in the Sab
bath School. A short synopsis of the
creation, objects and workings of the
w. G. T. U. was given, and she said
with emphasis. that it was necessary
to begin the work of temperance with
the children, She called attention to
the fact that it was harder to awaken
the church in the great work than it
was to enlist the action of outside forces
in its behalf, citing as an example the
course pursued by the public schools
In teaching the evils of alcohol to their
pupils. She reviewed the efforts made
to introduce Temperance work in the
Sunday School at the various interna-
tional associations. and felt greatly en-
couraged at the present outlook.
Her descriptions of the wretched
sights witnessed in New York and
other cities, all traceable to the curse
of strong drink, wss vivid portrayal
of the sad and pitiful scenes that blot
the fair page of human existence.
Mrs. Woodbridge concluded her re
marks with the following beautiful
quotation: 1.-THE door of millennisl
glory has the hand of q child upon
the latch"
The w G. T. U. is endeavoriDg Il
secure certain Sundays of the yea
which shall be given to Temperance
lessons in place of the regular on' e
prepared by the International S. 6
Association, and to this end it Is try
ing to induce the last mentioned bod.
to incorporate temperance lessons il
the regular course for the year.

CHARLEY FOSTER MADE A FULL.
p. .. FEATHERED SIOUX.
Waited Upon by a Delegation of Indi.
ans and Properly Decorated-some-
thing the Big ohioan Will Never
Hear the Last OF.

ROSEBUD AGENCY, s. Dak., June T.
The bappiest man on the great Sioux
reservation is ex-Gov. Charles Foster,
OF Ohio. He has been made a member
ofthe Sioux tribe by unanimous vote
OF the chiefs. i.l' .... ., y. -
The ceremony was amusing as we'll rs
interesting. A delegation of twenty
odd chiefs, led by Mrs. Arnold, teacher
Ofan Indian school on the reservation
and an active member of the Indian de.
fensiye association, called upon the
commissioner. She carried an elabor-
ate feathered tail dress, an article of In
dain finery worn only by great chiefs.
Gov. Foster was seated in the private
office OF Agent Spencer when the dele
CATION arrived. AS soon as he looked
up from his work Mrs. Arnold began
her presentation speech, first in En-
glish and then repeating it in the Sioux
language for the benefit of the assem-
bled chiefs. At the conclusion of her
address, Mrs. Arnold handed the tro-
ply to the ex-governor, who accepted
1t with the remark that an Ohio man
was never known to refuse ANYTHING.
AS Foster received the gaudy present.
the feathers in which rival the rainbow
In variety ofeolors, Gen. Crook took
Chief Swift Bear, the leading indian,
aside and asked him to give Gov. Foster
an indian name. Swift Bear quickly
turned to his fellows and in gutteral
tones told them that hereafter Gov.
Foster would be known In the Sioux
nation as "Young-Man-Pr Proud-of- His.
Tail" This was interpreted by Mrs. Ar
mold. -.'-.. .a..fr,'-
The commission gave the indians an
other feast but nothing was accom-
plished. The indications are that there
will be a week or two of vexatious de-
lay, If not total failure, as the indians
and half-breeds are working at cross
purposes. Sante and Bruce agencies
will be visited in the order named, and

Mr.. EDITOR Il would say to my brothe,
farmers it is time that we must look to our
self-interest in political affairs, not party
politics. but legislation. We have elected
men in both parties torepresent us and our
interest at Columbus. The farmers vote
elected them and every bill that has come be.
fore the Senate in the interest of the farmer
has been defeated, the railroad and money
kings have carried their point in every in
stance. Why is this, farmersa I.say it is
because we have not been represented it is
the duty of representative to. vote on all
bills as his constituents would if, they were
tovote-I mean the majority. Who is the
majority D. The farmers have a large ma
jority in the State Of Ohio; the farmers ha We
the power to have any laws they want. Why
is not Cleveland our President to-day ?; Be-
cause he favored free wool; the farmers and
wool growers said they had no more use for
him. Why will Harrison step down and out
when this term is out? Because he ignored
the request of the farmers to give them a
practicable farmer. in his cabinet to repre-
sent the farmers interest in the agricultu raj
department. Do not leave the good old
Democratic party to remedy this; don't leave
the good old Republican party to remedy
thisgreat wrong, but 60 to the convention
and nominate farmer whose interest is in
agriculture, and when you have the right
man don't be bulldozed into accepting any
other, then vote for and elect him, and il the
other man gets the inning, you have man
that represents you, but il you vote for one
horse lawyer to represent you, when the rail-
road agent slips a free pass over all the rail-
roads in the State he does not know that the
farmer needs anything nor does he care, he
can ride around all over the State free of
charge. and let opr, business take care of
itself. You, farmer, can Just haul ont the
money and pay him for what he has done
against your interest. sat e.9l 4 4 .'gIsE h

This is the conclusion that the philosophy
of negation must accept at last. Such is the
felicity Of thoee degrading precepts which
makes the epitaph the end-if the life OF
these victims is taper that is burned out,
the hope of survivors who treasure their
memory and example are in vain, and the
last prayer of their departed spirits has nc
more sancity to us, who sooner or later must
follow them, than the whisper of the winds OF

FINDLAY, O., June 9.-Henry Grien-
die living on Limestone ridge over the
line in Wyandot county, was plough
ing yesterday. when one of his horses
broke through the earth into a deep
hole. 1t was rescued from its position
with great difficulty, Upon examining
the spot Griendle found large hole
leading perpendiculary down into the
earth. He dropped in stone and heard
it rumble and rattle in its downward
course till the sound died away in the
distance. Exaggerated reports of this
discovery reached this city, and an ex-
ploring party was made. up yesterday
and drove over to the ridge TO ascertain
what was at the bottom of the story and
the hole. -,..-.... ...
The party consisted of ID half dozen
well known gentlemen including re-
porter, who were provided with ropes,
lights, fireworks, etc., to make thor
ough exploration. Having fixed every
thing in readiness for the descent, tile
question arose as to who should first 90
down. The men looked into the dark
mysterious hole, mentally made cal
culation as to the probability of find.

and each one was perfectly satisfied to
let several of the others 60 first. DIR.
q. started on the uncertain descent
alone. AS hewas lowered down, down,
down, the light of his lantern could be
seen growing fainter and smaller until
a tiny speck was visible. After letting
out the rope about 100 feet, a faint muf-
fled whisper announced that he had
found solid bottom. The reporter went
down next, and finally the whole party
found themselves at the bottom of the
shaft. .7..,s. ,,r .,.t.......
The hole descends through limestone
rock all the way down, and varies In
diameter from three to thirty feet. The
bottom is dry rock. and the place
proved to bel capacious cavern. The
place where the landing was made was
estimated to be sixty feet in width, and
while the ceiling at that point was low,
1t gradually rose like dome to the
height of fully fifty feet. The floor was
very uneven. The party had not gone
quarter of mile when they were
suddenly confronted by o yawning
chasm, ten feet in width, and Of an un-
known depth. Beyond this impossible
cleft they could see the roof gfittering

od Several roman candles were fired in
to the space, but the side walls could
not be seen, so that there is no telling
