Our neighbor gives send-off 10 two
or three Of the candidates for city offices,
but when we take into considera-
ton the unsavory developments that
h:ve been made OF late in city affairs it
is question with these candidates
whether an endorsement from such
source is not more OF load than they
are able to carry.

The Waterworks Canard.

In connection with the approaching
city election certain parties are endeav-
oring to make an issue on the subject Of
waterworks, representing that various
candidates are opposed to continuance
of the water contract and fire protection.
These representations are entirely base
less, the gentlemen against whom they
are made being unequivocally in favor
of maintaining the waterworks system,
but they are in favor of making every
endeavor to secure it at a more reason
able cost to the city. An effort look
ing toward this was attempted
during the administration Of Mayor
Gibson, and the railroad COM
pany WAS sufficiently impressed with
the petition for reduction OF the water
rent that they sent man here from
Chicago to learn the wishes OF the people
Of Mllbank in the matter, but this agent
| falling into the hands OF the then ex-
mayor he was taken to the business men
Of the city ahd the question put to them
as to whether they would prefer to have
the water supply discontinued or con-
tinue to pay as before. OF course there
was general desire to have the water
supply continued, and the agent Of the
company became impressed with the
belief that the city was we'll able
and willing to pay the heavy
tax that the water contract called for.
A clear presentation Of the real facts as
to the city's financial condition and a
unanimous demand for a reduction OF the
water rent at that time would undoubt-
edly have resulted in securing more ia
vorable terms from the company. This
is the nearest approach to throwing up
the water contract that has ever been
dreamed of by any member of the coun-
Gil or any other citizen. /: is CAM
paign bogy to frighten into line those
who desire to vote other than the way
the city ''boss" wants them to.

Daughters Of Rebekah

The storm and consequent blockade on
the railroad last week, preventing the
arrival of the iEstitutlng officer Friday,
made necessary the postponement
of the organization of the Rebekah
Degree lodge from Friday to Saturday
evening. Harvey J. Rice, OF Huron, con-
Quoted the work Of instituting the lodge.
for which a charter had been issued
under the name Of Harmony lodge No.
16 It is unnecessary to say the work
was efficiently done, as Mr.. Rice is pretty
generally known as one OF the best post
ed and most enthusiastic Odd Fellows in
the state, and all lodge work that falls
into his hands is certain OF being we'll
performed. The following officers were
selected for the new lodge:
n. G.-Mrs. O. w. Antleman.
V. G.-Mrs. N. j. Bleser.
Sec.-Miss Emma Carrick.
Treas.-Mrs. S NJ. Pasco.
P. N. Go. w. Antleman.
Ward-Miss Eda Port.
Cond.-Mrs. w. w. Downie.
R. S. N. G.-S. NJ. Pasco.
L. s. N. G.-Mrs. w. +. Rust.
/. G.-Miss Lizzie Port.
o. G.-G. Mittelstaedt.
r. 8. v. CIV. w. Dowine.
LIS. V. G.-Mrs. H. Layman.
The lodge will meet twice month
and on Friday evening OF this week q
meeting will be held for the adoption of
Bylaws and other business.
| After the organization had been COM
pleted the members adjourned to the
din ing room Of the Union, house, where q
sumptuous repast had been prepared by
landlord Hebert, the tables being literally
loaded with good things to tempt the
Appetite: although in view lot the late
ness OF the hour there was little tempt
ing necessary. The very fine spread
was heartily appreciated by the Rebekahs,
who did ample justice to it, and they
arose from the table thoroughly con-
vinced that Mr.. Hebert knew how to
prepare banquet that would stand the
criticism Of an epicure.
The new lodge starts of under the most
favorable auspices with membership OF
over 25 and promises to be one Of the in.
teresting features Of Odd Fellowship
hereafter in Milbank.

The Bible is the most political of3ooks
because it recognizes more clearly
than any other that God must rule i'll
politics else the devil surely will.
We firmly believe that the patient
work of Christian women will so re-
act upon politics within the next gen.
Grafton that the party of God will be
at the forefront, and Christian men
will be as much ashamed to say that
they never so to the political meeting
or the polls as they would be to use
profane language or to defame charac-
ter; for there is just one question that
every Christian patriot is bound to
ask: "What is the relation of this
party, this platform, this candidate to
the setting up of Christ's kingdom on
the earth? How does my vote relate
to the Lords prayer"

An Arab once asked the Most High
to permit him to train a tree in his
own way that he might exhibit his
great abilities and show how much
better it could be done than is the Gus
tom. This permission was granted
and he worked a year shielding the
little tree from every adverse breeze,
tempering the sunshine to its bonghs,
mellowing the earth about its roots,
and caring for it as one cares for pet
child. But when the year was up, be-
hold, the poor little tree was stunted
and did not at all compare with its
brothers of the wilderness, which, I'M
der the culture of God, with the winds
TO buffet, the storms to descend, the
floods to come, had grown and flour
ished, sending their roots deeper down
aud their branches further ont in Their
reaction on the elements about them
So is every one that is born of the

zone great gam in reading papers
that are carried on in the interest of
religion and philanthropy, is that our
minds are filled with the good news of
how Christ's kingdom is spreading in
the earth, by the selfdenying labOrs
of His faithful followers, and not the
worlds works of folly and crime, of
seliishness over-r reaching for gain and
power. We have. thus, for our
thought companions, the noble and
great of soul, the pure and spiritual,
and learn to look upon sin and dcgra-
dation as linked with the purpose of
deliverance. This gives the inspira
ton of the soldier going hopefully to
battle, instead of the encouragement
of one surrounded by an army of en-
cmics. Visions of harvest and fruit
age make joyous our seed sowing, for
while we know that some will fall on
shallow soil, some will bring forth Il
hundred fold: for do we not read of
such reapings, every week, some
where in the Lords world wide vine
yard?"

Lillian Whiiing,of Boston, "As one
st udies the countenance he feels that
inscrutahlc expression tina, so prcem-
inently charactcrizes Miss Willard in
her highest moments. II is the re-
Election of capitalization of thought
of certain uplifting of feeling, and
yet blended with it so delicately that
words are coarse to describe it, is II
certain sagacity and detinitcness of
purpose. 1t is, indeed, as if she were
receiving light from heaven, not to
absorb it into her own soul, not mere
ly as an expression of spiritual costa
sy, but to relate it to very present and
practical needs. The expression thus
caught and chiseled by Miss Annie
Whitney, is very remarkable psyco-
logical effect in sculpture. 1t defies
analysis and still more does it defy
description.
