SAYINGS FROM THE CONVENTION.
"The reason the women have not
brought about their desire is because they
have not The right instrument with which
to labor. If you want temperance you
must have temperance people 10 make the
laws under which we are governed. Men
have always been allowed to make laws
In accordance with their views, and not
those OF the women. The men who
framed the national constitution had no
thought OF the women. Once the nation
was impressed with the weeping of won.
an; now she Is laborlng in another way
for Temperance. The work of the W. G.
I. U. is to try and save,the boys who are
entering In the footsteps Of the one hun
dred and fifty thousand men who are each
year going to drunkard's graves. The
highest crown a woman can wear is pure
noble, God-fearing womanhood." REV
Anna Shaw.
I'VE cannot look upon the Temperance
cause and forget the women. Intemper

ness. 1t is hopeless to try TO stop the
stream OF intempeance while the fountain
head is unstopped. The srandest question
OF the age is the overthrowing of intem,
perance and the liquor traffic. We mus
study our enemy II we weuld be success
ful in his overthrow. Go forward, women

will never forsake us us long as we hold

for which the organization was intended
Plans should be taken to give instruction
as to the use OF alcohol on the human sys
tenn, also the effect Of tobacco, and espe.
cially cigarettes. The Bible is not merely
book TO be read aud laid aside at oul
pleasure; Il is our guide, our chart through
this life, and we should not only circulate
Bibles, but make persistent efforts to hay,

"God has the first claim on everything
We should give him portion Of every
thing that comes into our possession
therefore we should not engage In an,

nounced the name of q. w. Arner as the
man TO be recommended by Congressman
Harler as successor 20 L. E. Hustled. Mr.
Husted's time expires June 25. 1894. We
called on Mr.. Arner, and he confirmed the
news item in the Shield by showing us q
letter that he had received from NJ
Harter to that effect. There were othel
applicants for the position, and had they
been selected would doubtless haye trans

On Thursday evening last W. R. Santley

On Thursday evening last W. R. Santley
was in Mansfield and his business called
him to cross the railway tracks during a
blinding storm, when switch engine
struck him, knocking him senselesS and
fracturing his hip. He was brought home
Monday morning, and with care is likely
to get along all right.
The town is canyassed about every day
by agents for various articles, useful and
otherwise. 1t is all right TO be courteous
to these agents, but they become discour-
teous by overurging people to purchase,
and in otherways, Unless radical
change takes place in their practices,
the people will soon cease to have any
use for them.
