tlon. Seven hundred Thousand drunkards
walking our highways; seven hundred
thousand families feeling the blight and
curse of intemperance. One hundred
and fifty drinking places open in our city
every day and night with side door open
on Sunday Among the nominal profess
ing Christians in our land are five million
men who hold the ballot and if Trey would
use it for God and humanity as Christian
men ought to pray and vote, this gigantic
evil would soon be abolished
The saddest thought to my mind is, that
in the very houses of our friends we have
opposition that is hard to meet and over
come. Even men who claim to be Chris
tian ministers assail total abstinence as an
evil and have as much TO say against Pro-
hibltion voter as they do about on out aud
QUO rum seller. Let it be announced that a
minister will preach on prohibition and
there will be a conspicuous absence OF
many because things will be said unpleas-
ant for certain ones to hear.
If the papers Of our city were faithful
in performing the work that they claim
they are here to perform, they would re-
count the evils and crimes resulting from
intemperance, and their pages would tell
of political corruption, unmask political
hypocrisy everywhere. But they are not
faithful in doing that. We have opposition
in tie church and out of it. Men pledged
for the maintenance of good government
are against US. The church is the pillar
of truth and God is the foundation. Ipro-
fess to be Christian man and belong to
the Lord Jesus and am here to declare that
no principalities or powers shall ever sep
arate me from the church of Christ.
1t requires, / knows great deal of moral
courage to stand up and fight on this line.
Public feeling is growing stronger for Pro-
hibition and they say it must be over
thrown but how? is the question. We
want men and women with convictions
and courage to stand up for convictions and
righteousness. You who are honest ard
determined in this conflict, say go on.
get discouraged sometimes and then get
encouraged because the Lord is with me,
get everything there" PANTsINBooTs.

VCtODCE w CotACA.
Rev. Irl r.. Hicks in Word and Works,
says:-October will open with high tenn
perature in all parts. except, perhaps,
northwestern regions or sections already
passed by storm developments which will
be in progress at the beginning of the
month. 1t will be safe to anticipate in al
prudent ways violent activity of the e'e-
ments within thirty-six hours. before and
after, of p. m, on the I'd. By that time
polar currents will have broken in behind
progressive storms, and we will have the
not uncommon order OF things-storms and
warm to the eastward with cold wave
following from the northwest. The fall OF
temperature will be sudden and extreme.
The equinox of Venus is central on the 7th
in connection with reactionary disturban-
ces beginning on the 9th. Another wave
of warm, equatorial air, resulting in sharp,
electrical storms, will express itself on
these dates, and be followed promptly by
another cold wave. Watch for them!
From about the 10th to 18th, inclusive,
the outlook for Antumnal storms calls for
watchfulness. Managers having in charge
maritime interests, and navigators OF our
lakes should have an eye for emergencies
during this period. A polar blast, attended
by some snow to the north, and followed
by frost and freezing, may De expected.
About the 17th and 18th will bring the
regular rise in temperature, the tempera-
ture ard the storms being excited toward
extremes by the prevailing Venus disturb
ance Sudden transitions from warm to
cold will be the order.
All that we have said concerning the
above period will apply forcibly to the Pc
riod running from 22d to Goth. Tho equi-
nox of Mercury is central on the 22d, and
a regular storm period is central on the
esd, with Venus not entirely away from
her disturbing node, and full moon on the
Gath. Let us count, say, Esd, Gath and e5th
central danger days, and sec how far we
miss it. Rainstorms will turn to sleet and
snow In northern extremes of sea and land.
There will be violent Autumnal gales, and
a sweeping cold wave will wind up the
whole, and bring in polar, frosty weather
until the reactionary movements about the
Goth and 30th
We repeat our oft-expressed belief that
the approaching winter will be one of in
creased severity. Look to your food, fuel

Therefore, we conclude it were better,
1t were happier, not to consult self too ex-
clusively, for if self were the handspring
to be considered, what burden upon So
ciety, upon friends, upon family we would
become. The earlier we learn what Thos
A. Kempis tells us, THAT the love OF
thyself doth hurt thee more than anything
in the world, the sooner we will learn to
obey the command: Daughter, say unto
thee, arse;" and the sooner we will learn
that to lead happy, useful life, we must
arise out of self and obey our guide, fol-
lowing His leading and being watchful
lest we consider our own selfishness more
than His guidance.
Love, after all, is the great, universal
mairspring of existence, for Love think
eth no evil, imputes no motives, sees the
bright side, puts the best construction OIL
every action" So the conclusion reached

an idler and allow the few unthreshed

Is not born with him; theIe is always work
And tools to work wirhal for those who will;
And blessed are the horny hands OF toll,
The busy world shoves angrily aside
The man who stands with arms akimbo set
Until occasion tells him what to do;
And he who waits to have his task marked out

The prohibitive tariff upon opiufnshas
led to greatly multiplied system OF
smuggling. The cunning of all nation
alitieS has been enlisted in the illicit
traffic, until the government is driven to
heroic eXertlon5 to intercept the
shrewd exploits of Smngglers. It's re-
ported that they work from Canada
through Montana and North Dakota,
and year or so ago vast amount of
opium, that was taking this route for
the Pacific slope, was confiScated by the
United States niarshalS. and the
whole catch Was sold at auction
OH the government steps in this
city. But. it is reported, the smugglers
have resumed the illicit practices with
more perSiStency. tinctured with bold
ness and audacity. and in connection
with this are reported violations of the
Chinese exclusion act, and. to cap the
climax. it is said that number of Illicit
diStilleries have sprung up along the
Dakota and Minnesota border. l his
condition, it is reported, has not
escaped the detection of vigi-
liant government inspectors, and the
eXi-encieS have prompted action on the
part of the officials. The government
agents have hitherto acted principally
from Chicago. That is, they have MAIN
taiiied headquarters in that city, but, as
must be apparent to any practical mind.
Chicago is too far removed from the
scenes OF the Illegal practices.
and st. Paul has been chosen

Fire Commission.
The board of fire commissioners held
a regular meeting last evening at fire
headquarters. all the commissioners be-
ing present. In connection with the
recent big fire on Third street, Chief
jackson stated that he had, during the
past two days, made a very careful ex-
animation of the fire wall dividing the
Griggs building from the Farwel
As the result OF the investigation the
chief reported that he had found the
wall to be in excellent condition and of
good construction. but its purpose had
been rendered useless by the fact that
St0vepipe holes ran right through the
wall in number of places, and it was
through these openings that the fire
had worked from the Griggs block
to that of Farwell 81 Co.
An Interesting report and diagram.
made by Lieutenant Ferguson, OF Hook
and Ladder Company No. 5, was also
submitted tn the board by the chief.
The lieutenant was in charge Of his
