p. IN.
A fter conservation service the tim'
of this session was given to organization
reports, appointment of committees ant
reading of papers by members of thu
convention.
The evening session was called Ne
braska meeting. and it was the intention
that the addresses should be upon The
present situation in our sister state
Feeling the need of more intelligent
understanding than we have been able
even by careful study of the field, tC
obtain, the GarneUt ministers were in
vited to attend and address the conven-
ton upon the subject. There was a
very general response to the invitation
to be present. and each gave short ell
tertaining address upon the general
temperance work.
1t is encouraging to see the growth OF
the sentiment. among temperance work
ers, that prohibition must becomes 81 ma
tional issue. and that principle, not par
ty necessity, must and ought to decide
individual suffrage. The next step to
these is human suffrage. 1t was Il great
pleasure to see the familiar face, and
hear the brave, earnest words OF Bro.
Strong in defense of the right. The
collection was for the Nebraska fund,
and it was voted to send it to Mrs. S. f.
Grub, to be used to send temperance
literature to the foreign-speaking popu-
la,ion of Nebraska.
The old corps of general officers were
selected. There were SOME changes
made in the department. work. We feel
that we commence the new year with
brighter prospects and certainly enter
upon witt; renewed zeal, trusting that at
its end will be able to report more work
done and more victories won.

goodness in the past and commit our
selves and our work unreservedly to his
guidance in the future.
Resolved, That we are especially
grateful to God that He has removed
from our midst the awful incubus and
curse of the government saloon.
Resolved, That we are In hearty SYM
palhy with our sister state, Nebraska, in
her present struggle, and pray that the
same Divine wisdom that gave us prOhi-
bitiOn within our constitution, will see
fit TO grant to them like blessing. But
realizing fully that God works by means
and that in this case, as in many others,
money is strong siuew of war,
Resolved, That we recommend the
conservation of christians pocket-boOks
to this cause, and to the end that we
may give intelligently, we also recon-
mended that our people inform them
selves with regard to the Nebraska issue.
Resolved, That we thank God and
take courage ut the state prohibition

The Peoples party nominee for
governor of Kansas was born twenty
miles north of indianapolis, Indiana,
firly-sevcn years ago. He was raised
on farm, with limited opportunities
of education. He came to Kansas
twenty-seven years ago, and has fol-
lowed the occupation Of farmer up
to the present time. He is an ideal
candidate for the peoples movement.
Like Cincinnatus, he is called from
the pillow to champion the popular up
rising Of tie people. The fact that he
received 1877 votes out Of total of 513
in the convention indicates that he is
magnetic man. Mr. Willetts is not
without legislative experience. He
was member of the sessions of 1871
and 1873. He is popular III the state
where known, and enjoys the conf
dence of his neighbors.-Atchison

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 20.-One
month ago the musicians of the city
formed a union and were regularly ad-
nitted to membership in the Central
Labor Union. Then music went UP
and Dickson and Talbot, who have a
monopoly OF Indianapolis theaters, re-
fused to pay the price and hired m.nsi-
clans not members of the union. Fri
day boycott was declared against the
tleaters and all union labor men and
their friends are asked not TO patronize
the shows. Merchants are requested
not to let Autographs be displayed in
their windows, and the bill posters have
been ordered not to permit their boards

said:
