UNDERTAKERs AT WAR.
Brady and Boylan Quarrel Over Poor
Dan Dinan's Body.

Dan Dinan's Body.
The charges preferred against Under
taker Brady by Undertaken Boylan at
the recent meeting of the Undertakers'
Association for overcharging him for
icing poor Dan Dinan's remains is
destined to create considerable illfeeling
between various members of the associa-
tion.
A representative Of Mr.. Brady said this
morning that he did not think Brady
would weaken. While the schedule price
of icing a body is seven dollars, and three
dollars for services, the Dinan's case was
an exception. as the body was horribly
mangled. Besides this, Brady had been
instructed by Dinan's family to prepare
the body for funeral, but Undertaken
Boylan subsequently induced the family
TO let him have the funeral.
Brady refused to let Boylan have the
body until he paid S25 for services already
rendered, The charges are in the hands
of committee of the Undertakers' Asso-
citation.

Third Party Temperance Men.

To the Editor of the Press:
how shall Christian temperance man

Monday?
Answer-For Hon. George w. True. be.
cause:
1st-The welfare of the Third PARTY do
mands 1t. The straight Third Party ticket
was cast two weeks ago and secured tbereb,
all that the most ardent friends of the party
can desire in keeping the party intact.
2d-The past two weeks has clearly re-
vealed the intense and united interests of
the liquor element of this city working for
the election of Mr.. Ingraham.
3d-The vote of the Third Party as two
weeks ago may be needed TO secure the cleo
ton of Mr. True by our citizens, and IL SO,
and the vote of the Third Party is not given
for Mr.. True, the cause of temperance and
the interests of the Third Party will both be
injured.
4th-As the liquor interests are working
for the election of Mr.. Ingraham and against
Mr.. True, the enforcement of our pr0hibito-
ry law by Mr.. Cram, the liquor sheriff, and
his deputies, promise to be easier and more
thorough under the administration Of Mr..
True than under that of Mr.. Ingrham.
5th-The Christian temperance men OF this
city have publicly sustained Mr.. Cram In the
vigorous enforcement of our prohibitory
law and prayed for his success; for them to
vote SO as to increase the difficulty of the
enIorcement OF said law by the possible cleo
tion OF Mr.. lngraham Is to vote contrary to
tDeir prayers and public acts.
Inc Tune mas come when Christian men of
every party snould prove that they are sim
cere In their promises to aid Mr.. Gram in his
work by voting for Mr.. True,
How otherwise can they be consistent.
