The lower house of the Illinoi
; Legislature passed bill appropria
ing $4,000 to be used by the stat,
IN helping pauper inebriates t
avail themselves of DR.. Keeley's
methods Of treating drunkards
Noble Legislators Magnanimous
spirits! You have legaized saloons
all over the state Of Illinois to make
wreched drunkards, then when
they are morally, mentally and
physically wrecked, you come and
offer $4,000 to help partially cure
them. Just as if the Illinois legis-
lature pass a law legalizing several
hundred men throughout the state
to break the arms and legs Of men
and wemon. then the sympathetic
Legislators would appropriate 49,
600 to pay surgeons for setting the
fractured limbs Of those who were
unable to pay for their own. En-
lightened and civilized legislators !!
They would throw the barbarians
OF the past into the shade.-Pitts-
burg Educator.
Induism and Mohammedism en-
tirely prohibit the use of alcoholic
drink.
New York City has 10000 saloons
they outnumber shops for sale Of
food by nearly 5000.
The Chicago Tribune gives
table showing the ratio Of liquor
dealers to the population. It is
based upon the census and the in
ternal revenue report for 1890.
Montana is said to have one LIQUOR
dealer to every sixty persons. Ii
this be true: it would appear that
the business is slightly overdone.
The prohibition millionaire, w
Jennings Demorist, who has done
so much fer the cause by his med
al contests, now offers a beautiful !
silken banner to the state which |
shall show the best organization of
Prohibition clubs at the next Ma
tionol conventiOn.-New Issue.
We are glad to say to the public
that before this appears in print
the reading room, in which we are
al more or less interested, will be
opened. Our plan is to have some
reliable person take charge of the
.oom and furnish frst-c!ass lunch
IS to all who desire the same; and
We are exceedingly well pleased to
say that at the present writing we
expect Mrs Kagy will take charge
# the rooms. We hope, before
ong to make arrangements for a
circulating library to be added to
he room, but in the meantime we
will try to have a good variety of
'eading matter although we expect
If course to increase the variety as
,ast as our means will allow. We
nope you will all show your appre-
citation Of our efforts by spending
your leasure hours at this reading
'ooni, where you will be heartily
Welcome at all times. No doubt
here many who have reading mat
:er which they do not care to keep,
f so we should be glad to receive
It. We wish to thank our business
men again for their kind interest
and generous support. We have
engaged the old Baldwin stand.
The national corresponding sec
retary suggests to white ribboners
that the white ribbon should be tied
in the button holes, not pinned on
ones dress permiscously; and where
there is no button hole, small silk
loop worked i'll button-hole stitch,
as we all know, should be worked
on the dress waist where the button
hole should be. It is thought
great deal better to be uniform in
our mode Of wearing the badge.
