from Mr.. Van Houghton, connected with

ing questions in regard to tariff versus
free trade asked by members OF the
society, giving them to understand from
the start that the plan adopted last fall
for the conducting Of free trade meetings
! by a committee OF which he is a member
| appointed to discuss the matter in rural
districts was to permit the audience to
ask questions and the speaker answer,
not permitting a reply as that would
lead to useless and improbable debate.

Charles Geiger was on the streets
Tuesday. He brought in wheat and
could not sell it at the mills, but traded
it for dry goods, receiving seventy cents
per bushel; Mr.. Geiger is q farmer who
believes in figuring as well as working.
He is now busy fencing a fve-acre hog
pasture, which with Spring creek flowing

cheaply, and he also has an eye on the
future settlers OF the reservation.

a run away in this city on last Friday.
He was unloading wheat at the Gate
City mill when the train came in from

them, they were badly scared. They ran
up Main street until they collided with

the only damage done to. the rig The

THERE COMES A TIME,

THERE COMES A TIME.
There comes time when we grow old,
And, like q sunset down the sea,
Slope gradual and the night winds cold
Come whispering sad and chillingly;
And locks are gray
AS winters day,
And eyes OF saddest blue behold
The leaves, all wary, drift away
And lips OF faded coral say,
There comes q time when we grow old.
There comes time when joyous hearts,
Which leap as leaps the laughing main,
Are dead to all save memory
As prisoner in his dungeon chain.
And dawn of day
Hath passed away;
The moon hath into darkness rolled,
And by the embers still and gray,
hear voice in whisper say,
There comes q time when we grow old.
There comes a time when manhood's prime
Is shrouded in a mist OF years,
And beauty, fading like a dream,
Hath passed away in silent tears;
And then how dark,
But oh! the spark
That kindled youth to hues OF gold
Still burns with clear and steady ray
And fond affections, lingering, say,
There comes time when we grow old.
There comes time when laughing spring
And golden summer cease to be,
And we put on the autumn robe
no tread the last declivity;
But now the slope,
With golden hope,
Beyond hesunset we behold
Another dawn with fairer light,
While watchers whisper through the night
There comes time when we grow old.

near Emporia, Kansas, from a field ol
twenty acres, averaged ffty-six bushels

ENGLAND'S TWO GREAT EVILS.

Lord Randolph Churchill is still dis
cussing the drink question: in his speeches.
In recent address at Newton, Mont
gomeryshire, he said:
81 find that the condition Of the people
is most seriously and dangerously
affected by two great evils. The one
arises from the excessive consumption OF
alcoholic liquors by the masses OF the
people OF the country, Hear, hear.]
The unrestricted sale OF intoXica ting
liquors among the masses OF the people
is shown in the enormously excessive
number OF establishments for the sale Of
drink which strike the eye everywhere,
no matter where you go. i'll any part OF
England or Wales. [Cheers.] The other
evil arises from the dsgraceful condition
OF the dwellings which are inhabited by
a large portion OF our laboring popula-
ton. The effect OF those two evils upon
the condition Of the people cannot be
exaggerated by any one. The effect OF
those two evils upon the condition OF the
the people is written for all who like to
read and study them in the almost in
Vulnerable reports OF royal commissions
and parliamentary committees, and
and written in the mass upon mass OF
evidence which has been adduced before
those commissions and those committees
| from persons whose authority cannot
be disputed or denied; and those two
evils are discovered and are proclaimed
by the best authoritive sources to be
producing among our people most ex,
uberant, a most rank, most noisome
crop OF poverty, misery, disease and
crime" Hear, hear

POISON In BEER.
An advocate OF beer drinking, in tht
Western Druggist, complains of the
poisonous adulterations of this beverage
now SO common, and mentions as one
OF the most dangerous, picrotoxin, a
powerful poison often used because OF
the great difficulty attending it's detec-
ton. The writer states that dose OF
from five to ten grains will kill a dog,
while a tincture OF the berries applied to
a child's scalp had been known to cause
DEATH
~
MODERATE DRINKING DANGEROUS.
Even moderate drinking operates
against man in getting insurance.
Statistics how that among incorporate
persons between the ages OF twenty and
and thirty the mortality is five times
greater than among temperate persons.
From thirty to fifty the mortality is
four times greater with the incorporate,
and from fifty to sixty it is three times
greater, while from sixty to eighty it is
twice as great. These are figures that do
not lie, and old topers and moderate
drinkers should take hint. In a group
of total abstainers, aged twenty. the
average Of life left is forty-four and two
tenths years, while in moderate drinkers
the average would be fifteen and six
tenth years. That is to say, q total
abstainer on an average would live to be
about siXty-four, while the moderate
drinker would be cut off at thirty-five
By q moderate drinEer is meant man
who drinks continually or periodically
so as to affect his health A drinker is
more liable to accidental death than a
sober man is, and in addition to that he
is steadily breaking down his constitr-
tion.-National Temperance Almanac.

AT THE BOTTOM OF TIE SEA.
The Remains of an Ancient Town
Found IS Feet Under Water.


From the New York Sun.
The city authorities of Rovigno, on the
Peninsula of Istria, in the Adriatic sea
have discovered little south OF the peuin-
sula the ruins of large town at the bottom
of the sea- 1t has been observed for some
years that fishermen's nets were sometimes
entan gled in what appeared to be masses of
masonry, of which fragrants were brought
up from the sea bed. A year or two ago
a diver decla ed that he had seen walls and
streets below the water.
The city authorities recently decided 10
investigate. They sent down a diver who,
at the depth of eighty-flve feet, found hun
self surrounded on the bottom of the sea bv
ruined walls. He says he knows they were
the work Of man. He is builder BY trade.
and he recognized the layers OF mortar.
Continuing his explorations, he traced
the line Of walls and was able to Dist guish
how the streets were laid out. He did not
see any doors or window openings, for they
were hidden by masses of ssaweed and in-
crustations. He traced the masonry for a
distance of 100 feet, where he had to stop,
as his diving cord did not permit him to 90
further. He had proved beyond doubt
that he had found the ruins of once in
habited town, which, through some catas-
trophe, had been sunk to the bottom of the
sea.
Some people think that they identify this
lost town with the island mentioned by
Pliny the Elder, under the name of Cissas.
near Istria. This island cannot be found
now, and it is thought the submerged town
may have been a settlement on the island
that so mysteriously disappeared.
