TO sPoRTsMEN EVERYWHERE,

An association for the protection
and perpetuaiion of the game and
fish of'this state was recently formed
at Minneapolis by parties interested
from different parts of the state.
It is a well known and accepted
fact that the game and fish of the
state are being ruthlesslY slaughtered
and destroyed every year, and
shipTed from the state in large
quantities, and -skzah SatHisSt be-
doRe~to suppress this wholesale
destruction or the game will soon be
wholly exterminated.
This association Is organized for
this purpose, it being distinctively a
state organization. The officers are
from all parts of the state, one from
each Game Center, each one being a.
gentleman we'll known, and in
thorough sympathy with the objects
IN view.
Every one interested in the preser-
vation of game is earnestly requested
to become member by sending in
his application at once, together

HALSTEAD HAS RABIES.

Bitten SO Often by the MAD Dog" Wa
ter Sends Him Frantic.
Mr.. Murat Halstead has returned tt
his war upon ice water. Taking the i'll
natured and untrue remarks Of mali.
cious newspaper for his text as to the
size of prominent citizen he issues an
appeal against water. Regardless of the
feelings and principles Of the W. c. T.
U. he declaims against the dissipation OF
water drinking and grows poetical over
the beauties of reform from this par
ticular form of dissipation.
While the friends of temperance are
singing of the charms of cold water, Mr..
Halstead is telling the poor wrecks whose
ruin is the result of devoted attachment
to other fluids that water makes them
"misshapen" and that the appetite for
the Sparkling flood" is debasing.
Listen to himl "Those who have tried
reform Of dissipation in water drinking
tell how joyous is the sensation when the
terrible temptation to drink passes and
tn )uth, after being for time dry as
a powder horn, becomes moist and there
is delicious sense of having triumphed
over a debasing appetite"
Mr. Halstead is also hostile to tea and
coffee, but those beverages do not offend
him so much as water. He would per-
NIT one cup of each day. In the mean
time there is, Of course, nothing left to
drink but alcoholic stimulants, which,
bad as the excessive use of ice water is,
The World thinks worse.
But what tipple does Mr.. Halstead
think is most conducive to the health of
the people Of Cincinnati-that brewed
on the north side of the Rhine or that
distilled on the south side of the Ohio
river?-New York World.

A Ringing Call 60 Christ's Ministers for
-. Aid in the Conflict.
Looked at either from commercial. o
moral or o religious standpoint the rum
power is an evil so colossal in its opera
tions as to battle adequate stat d snt. 1t
stands as mighty barrier in tSs way of
the worlds progress. It bights- and
pauperizes all it touches. It jostles
every human interest. 1t says to the
Christian church, "Thus far, but no
farther"
1t enters the council chambers of po-
htical parties and issues its ukase as i'm
perative in its terms as those Of q car.
While by a thousand influences the
church is seeking to ennoble men, the
rum villainy, by as many influences,
drags them down and damns them. The
Aexanders and the Napoleons of the
world, with all the pestilences of the
world, never wrought a havoc one-haf
so dreadful as does this infamous power.
Like Millions Satan, it stands forth with
unsheathed sword to contest for the So
premacy of the planet.
What, then, should be the preachers
attitude in the conflict against it2 Moth
ing less than that of open and pronounced
hostility. Like Luther in his conflict
with Rome, he should anathematize it,
and use every rightful weapon for its
overthrow. Like Garrison, Beecher and
Lovejoy in their contest with the slave
power, he should expose its wickedness,
and marshal against it all the forces Of a
Christian civilization.
But the fact is, this living, burning,
pressing question receives at the hands of
multitudes Of preachers only 1.-THE of
the attention its importance demands,
while no small number give it practically
no attention at all. During anti-slavery
times Mr.. Beecher said: every man con.
sents to slavery who does not exhaust his
strength in efforts to prevent it"-a vigor.
GUS but correct sentiment as applied to
that villainy. But the average preacher
of today has no such view of duty in his
relationship to this greater villainy-the
liquor traffic.
When they should thunder out their
anathemas they are silent or speak in
manner to accomplish nothing. When
they should put the seal of their disappro-
baton upon political Vaccinations in
the interests of this great foe, they per
NIT themselves to become its plant help
ers. Instead of being leaders, lifting up
the standard Of right and duty, they
march under banners hoisted for them.
This is not the place for him who is the
representative of the church and the
King Of Heaven.-Rev. DR.. Garrett
