The sunday School Association.

Editor DEMOCRAT The Pope County Sunday School Association convened at Appleton July l7, and the opening ser mon, which was a good one, was preached by Rev. k. l.. Benn of the Pres byterian church, ths city. The Sunday schools of the county were well repre- sented. The various subjects of the pro-
 gram were taken up in the afternoon of Wednesday and the discussions continu- ed until noon Thursday. The program committee did good work in the select ion of subjects and the discussions were as excellent as the subjects. Earnest ness, poIntedness, brevity alfd the practi- cal characterized the speeches of the oc- casion. Those that took part in the dis cussions seemed to be imbued with the idea of promoting the Sunday school cause rather than with the idea of mak- ing windy speeches. Much good and lasting work was done. Those that heard the discussions will not forget them soon; and all were inspired with the desire to do more Sunday school work. The attention of your readers is called especially to the discussion on the temperance report. Housing speeches were made and warning was given of the danger of the county in having saloons voted on us at the coming election. When the vote was taken on the report, not only the members of the Association but the audience voted, and thus an em- phatic endorsement of at least nineteenth of those present was given by standing vote. It was beautiful indeed to wit ness the earnestness and zeal manifested by the representives of the different de- nominations of the county in a common cause.-the Sunday school work.
 Our townsman, Bro. Munday, made a most excellent presiding officer, and was honored with the presidency of the asso- ciation for another year. We all leftAp- pleton with pleasing recolleetions of the occasion and feeling that the Appleton people could not be excelled in genuine hospitality. The verdict of all was that the meeting of the as sociation was the best of the kind ever attended. U. J. HEARoN.

Not prospering there he moved back to Pope county after eouple of years and lived on place adjoining that Of his father- in-law.
 About year ago he began paying att tentions to his good looking IS-year old sister-in-law, but his advances were made with so much secrecy and disere- tion that no one suspected the true con dition of affairs until Friday of week be- fore last when the pair eluding their relatives eloped and attempted to reach the Indian Territory.
 Several hours after, when their flight was discovered, officers started in pursuit and tracked them to place near Morri- sons Bluff, where they had engaged board and passed us man and wife.
 Garner is about P years of age, is school director of his district, constable of his township, and until recently was superintendent of Sunday school. The young lady III the case has hitherto borne an excellent reputation.

circumstances of the unemployed and

The hall was packed full. and several
persons made speeches that were

Nelson, and ask him to call special
session of the Legislature.
Ii. L. Erpie presided at the meeting,
and made speech in favor of devising

officials ought to devise means of en-
pleying the people, and return to them
some of the money intrusted TO the
officials as servants of the people. He
did not favor special session OF the
Legislature. as it, would he expensive,

Another speaker wanted the Hill

Populists. MIR. Bresks opposed an extra
