TAIN TEMPERANCE UNION:

The ladies of the W. G. T. U, of Keene n,

of the Second Congregational Church, are do
ing effective, practical Christian temperate
work, by raising funds to assist men in tax
ing the Bichloride of Gold Cure for Alcohol
ism, at Kurn Hattin Sanitarium, westmin-
ster, VT.
The funds are raised among the business
men and temperance people, who have the
best interests of the community at heart. A
committee and advisory board of the leading
ladies and gentlemen have the matter in
hand and have met with gratifying success.
Several hundred dollars have been raised.
Several young men have already been cured,
and have returned free from the appetite,
which previous was uncontrolla BILE; others
are taking the treatment, and more are ar
ranging to go-while the work of the w. &.
= U. goes cheerfully on. the people realizing
that more direct practical, saving work is
being accomplished than ever before.
What is being done in keene can be accom-
pllshed elsewhere, and We trust the ministers
and ladies of the w c. t. L. throughout New
England will emulate the example of their
brothers and sisters in keene.
You may save men by this means, whom
you cannot reach by any other: men who on

greatly improving the health. as well as re-
moving the appetite for liquor. while the

thrown around the patients while in the in

A WISE ACTION.

The council committee yesterday, in
considering the proposed city charter,
took action in regard to one point which
is a step in the right dilection. This
was in separating the city fIom the gen.
ersl election, putting the date for the
former as the first Tuesday in March.
This action WAS supported by some of
the leading citizens. Mr.. John F.
Humphreys. ex.MAyor Workman, Mr..
G. j. Grifiths. General Forman. and
others equally prominent, warmly ar
gued in its favor, and though the COM
mittee's decision had already been
given to com oine the city with the gen.
eral elections. they succeeded in getting
a reversal OF the first action, with the
result above stated.
The result ia that the excellence and
efficiency of the city govern mont will
depend entirely on the amount of in
terest that good citizens will take in the
matter, an interest that will not be
necessarily biased by partisan feeling.
The change in the date will also result
in the minimizing the power of evil OF
the bosses. They will not be enabled,
amid the excitement and warmth OF
party struggles for the control OF the
state or nation. to foist on the munich
pslity their creatures as officials. and
their business az procurers of offices
will, to a large extent, be gone.
