Another Entertainments.

Another Entertainment.
Another pleasant entertainment was
given at the Atheneum last night. the
young people of the Baptist church pre-
senting the five act Operetta, "Golden
Hair and the Three Bears" The story
is n which is familiar to every reader
of folk lore, and it is unnecessary to
give a synopsis here. In the opera are
found many pretty and catchy airs, and
the young people last night displayed
versatility, and the result of assiduous
practice in their presentation.
The chorus of forest children was very
we'll rendered. the little folks having all
sweet voices, and they are deserving of
praise for the way they carried out their.
part of the program. OF the principal
characters, it may be said that each, did
very we'll. Miss Lambert took her part
as the Woodland Queen with grace and
a~daptability to circumstances, and; Miss
Grace Falkenstine was natural and
pleasing in her characterization of
"Golden Hair" The costuming OF the
bears was novel and effective, and the
Messrs. Healy and Ralph Gray added to
the general amusement. or the other
characters, Helen Wilson as "Lighfoot,"
Lavette Gray as "Faithful," Myrtle
Falkenstine as "Frailty," Lucille Wag-
gouer as "Will O'The Wisp,"' Olive
Falkenstine as "Airy," and H. NJ. Cook
as Bard" were all natural and pleasing,
and we'll received by the audience.
The house was quite a good one, and
the participants all deserve credit for
their efforts in the affair.

A few years ago it was unknown in this
country, and only travellers in the trans.
Ural regions of southeastern Russia had
ever seen it. But it is now in full pos
session of many a good farm in the Da-
kotas, and is rapidly spreading it's do

with the twin states as its center and
it's starting point. Mr.. L. H. Dewey, as
sistant botanist in the agricultural de-
partment returned from a thorough-go-

Russian thistle is prevalent, and brought
with him the big specimen that is now
the cynosure Of all eyes in Senator Hans

is probably full grown, for it is fully
five feet in diameter, fully three feet high

sharp spine about half an inch long,

First-That she is the wife of BENJAMIN

became deranged, and on the 18th day Of
January, 1892, he was %adjudged insane by

Wheat Thieves.

a Wheat Thieves.
Wheat stealing has become quite q fash
ionable pastime in some parts of North
Dakota this year. The latest example
was that Of George Kast, who was
brought to the pen here last evening.
Kast is q farmer living a few miles out
OF Devils Lake, and conceived the bright
idea OF replenishing his exchequer by
helping himself to some of his neighbors
MOL hard. After securing the load he
took the grain to Grand Harbor, where
he disposed OF it. But George had not
been in the deal very long before he was
discovered and arrested. A preliminary
examination was given him, after which
ne went before Judge Morgan and
plead guilty, receiving a p~enitentiary
sentence. His examination, trial, and
sentence were done in g. few hours.

K~etrenchments are being made IN the
express business Of the Northern Pacific,
says the jamestown Alert, by a reduc-
tion of the force with no diminution Of
the pay of those remaining. Messenger
Currie, who runs on trains Nos. z and 8,
has been taken of, and Messenger Will
liams, who has a through run from st.
Paul to Bismarck, has also been laid off.
This reduction has been rendered ne.

time.

Root Out the Curse.

The world has suffered ever since
the fall of man. Curse after curse has
fallen upon man through his own
wickedness. Wars have swept down
the flower of manhood till nations have
been depopulated, and whole govern
ments been blotted from the face of
the earth.
The Romish Inquisition with hellish
glee burnt it's tens of thousands of in
nocent ones at the stake. Others were
beheaded or impaled on the deathly
stake. Her murdered millions cry
around the throne of God for wen
geance.
Disease brought on by evil conduct
has spread abroad until whole commu-
mites have been depopulated by the
plague. Sin has figured in all earth's
sorrows and mothered all her woes.
o But it seems that the colossal crime
of crimes and curse of the ages has
conferred it's forces on the civilized ma
tions i'm the advancing light of this
nineteenth century. AS the father of
crimes, the mother of sorrows, the
brother of woes, the sister of miseries,
the enemy of heaven and holiness, the
handmade of sin and hell, the licensed
liquor traffic stands out without par
allel on earth if it has an equal in hell.
The chief surprise of three worlds,
heaven, earth and hell, must be found

DEAR UNION SIGNALS Sometimes my

to any who are ignorant of our aims,
and to those great-souled workers who

The novelty of the Crusade and its
methods, the enthusiasm generated by
the resulting gospel temperance meet

ton attracted general attention, and
brought to the organization OF the wo-

ested in the reform, but many others
whose interest and enthusiasm was OF
varying degrees OF intensity. As the
work settled down to irregular routine,

ity, as it began to prove its right to ex-
list by lassening the saloon customers

partments, and made energetic and
successful attacks upon the system it.

The following clipping was handed
me by a young man for our column; he
seemed to think it contained very
strong but very sad truth:
The saloon sign as it should read:
'Wishing to get living without work
ing hard | have leased commodious
rooms in Lovemoney's Block, corner
Ruin street and Perdition lane-next
door to the Observation-Disclosures | shall
manufacture drunkards, paupers, lu-
natics, beggars, criminals and dead
beats for sober and Industrious people
to support. Backed up by the law, l
shall add to the number of fatal acct
dents, painful diseases, disgraceful
uuarrels, riots and cold blooded muir
ders. My liquors are warranted to rob
some of life, many of reason and more
of property and all of true peace; to
make fathers fiends, wives widows,
children orphans. l shall cause moth
ers to forget their infants, children to
grow up in ignorance, young women to
lose their priceless purity, smart young
men to become loafers, swearers, skep-
tics, and "iewd fellows of the baser
sort" Having paid for my license, l
have right to bring all the above evils
on my friends and neighbors for the
sake of gain.

Hurtful Idolatry..

The most discouraging thing with
which we have to contend in these pro
gressive days is to see and know good
men; men whom we can trust implicit
ly in all the concerns of life; men
whose walk, as Christians, has been
upon the highway of holiness and
whose conversation is full of the love
and praise of God-to see such men
year after year casting their votes in
such a way that the liquor traffic en-
lists and fourishes despite all the fer
vent prayers they can offer to the AL
mighty to protect their homes from
this terrible enemy. Oh! if such men.
with all their grand influence for good,
would vote this evil out and influence
their friends to work along the same
practical line what world of joy and
happiness would be ours.
Why are they SO long praying the
Father to give them liberty and free
dom from this destroyer of their homes
when they have already the power, and
will not use it-that would make it i'm
possible for the liquor traffic to exist
another year. How strangely incon-
sistent it looks and how foolish words
fail to portray.
Men appear to think so much more
of an old political party to which they
have belonged than they do of mother,
wife or children that to stand by this
party they will accept anything it does
as right and endorse it and vote with
it though it destroy the peace of home
and in too many instances leaves the
inmates ragged and hungry. Oh! it is
a sickening thought that any Christian
father could do such thing. He goes
directly contrary to Gods word when
he does it and yet he comes to the
church and feels as worthy of a place
there in Our Fathers house as if he
had walked up from his home APPROX
cd for all his works. How can he sat
isfy his soul that way? So much is
resting on him besides his own pleas
ure, how can he be content to take
doubtful step?

LICENSED LIQUORDEALER.

To destroy the sovereignty of the sa-
loon is the most imperative duty of the
American people. Silver bills, civil
service, tariff reform, are only straws
on the wind compared with this funda-
mental question of society: "How can
the sovereignty of the saloon be de-
stroyed?" We can have no hope of
good rulers, no just legislation while
the saloon dominates our politics. And
the sovereignty of the saloon cannot
be destroyed while the saloon itself ex-
lists. The same causes that have given
it it's supremacy will continue to make
it supreme. A temporary victory over
il will have little effect. While it ex-
lists it will continue to do it's work. 1t
will corrupt judges, bride juries, sub
sidize parties, demoralize politics, de-
grade law, and foster crime. Restric-
tions are but threads that snap asun-
der at the first strain. Regulation is
simply legalization. To destroy the
sovereignty of the saloon all the ele-
ments of righteousness should com
bine. The Church should arise from
its apathy and exert its tremendous
power. The great parties of our land
should shake off the thrau of the sa-
loon and repudiate it, else every virtue
loving voter should withdraw from
them. The press should see its duty
and do it in an exposure of the evils
that the saloon is doing to the commu-
nifty. Everything good and pure should

Mrs. Sakurai, our "littis japanese
sister," reports four dollars received
for the Mary Allen West memorial
building in Tokyo. Although the con-
tributions so far are small, doubtless
owing to the prevailing hard times, she
is much encouraged with the little she
has received, and asks that hereafter
all such contributions be sent to Miss
Alice Briggs, The Temple, Chicago, as
she expects to travel most of the time
until she returns to Japan. The little
woman stepped into our office few
days ago with japanese paper in her
hand, and with the tender look upon
her face which is always there when
thoughts of our promoted editor are In
her mind. "Would you like to know
how much we japanese spent in Tokyo
for Miss West?" On replying in the
affirmative, she opened the little pam
phlet, for Japanese papers are small,
and proceeded to read the figures,
which she had carefully translated from
japanese to American values. After
enumerating the several items (adver-
Using, carriage, postage, funeral eX-
penses, etc., she said: THAT makes on
ly one hundred and ten dollars, but
that is much money with us, and twas
given by poor individuals and poor
societies, so you can see how much we
loved Miss West" Again was all the
wonderful kindness shown our brave
comrade by these japanese friends
brought forcibly to mind, and our
gratitude was further quickened
We feel sure there are many more who
will help to build the Mary Allen West
Temperance Temple in Tokyo as a
memorial to as unselfish and heroic "a
woman as ever wore the white ribbon.
