Kelley League.

The Kelley League, No. 3, Of Webster,
formally organized last Sunday and cleo
ted the following officers.
l.. G. O~chsenrciter, President, Henry
Turner, Nice-President; j. W. Arthur,
Sec'y; David Williams, Treasurer; Thos.
Brigham, Josephus Alley, James Titus,
Executive Committee.
Thursday night of each week was fixed
as meeting night, and will meet next
Thursday evening at Frank Sears office.
This organization is now fairly launched
and it rests with the people OF Webster
as to whether it will be a success in the
objects for which it is intended, or exist
merely AZ "a fraternal society. There is
no order in Il town today with the
same opportunity OF doing good. The
people here all know what the Kelley
treatment has done for those OF Ourcitiz-
ems who have been cured OF inebrety, and
the good influences which this League
will exert in the cause OF practical tenn
perance, will be felt not only in Webster,
but throughout Day county. The people
of this town have already shown more
than once their Willingness to aid any
unfortunate man who desired to be freed
from the thralldOm of a drunkard's life,
but nov is the opportunity to join in and
systemic the effort in this direction. 1t
can not be expected that the graduates
themselves can carry on this work alone.
In other sections of the country the Lea
que has met with unqualified approval
and unparalleled success, and it is to be
hoped that the Webster League will be
enabled to take rank with other sections.
Any one with temperate ideas can join as
Associate members, with a vote in. all
matters, or cal become honorary men,
bers. A Womans' Auxiliary League can
be formed by the ladies. Should sufficient
encouragement be shown, it is the inten-
ton to hold a public meeting and have
here some OF the best talent ~procurable
in Kelley circles. Applications for men,
bership can be made to any of the mem
bers or at their regular meeting.

A Good Son Is This.
Tribune.

An interesting story of filial devotion
is told of a Deering citizen who, as a
young man, followed the sea and visited
many foreign lands, settling down at
home some 30 years ago, having
slept out of his own house but 10 nights
since that time. During all these years
he has never failed every day to call at
the neighboring house of his aged par
ents in the early morning before going
to his work in Portland and on his re-
turn at night. He always finds his ia
ther and mother ready to greet him. He
always says hello" in his CHEEKY voice,
and the old man replies, Were here,
John" That is all, but 80 years of that
every day is vastly more flial compan-
ionship than falls to the lot Of most IA
theirs, and fortunate indeed is the moth
or whose fond heart never looks In vain
for the daily visit Of her son!-Lewiston

Of the construction Of a marine railway
for the purpose Of connecting Brighton
with the little village of rockingham,
some three or four miles to the eastward.
The rails will be laid on the solid rock
with concrete and at high water will be
covered by the sea, which. however, will
not affect the carriages, the latter being
supported on a framework that keeps
them high and dry. At this part Of the
coast the cliffs are high. and the beach Is
practically inaccessible, 30 that no boat

cars will be moved by electricity, like
