In most departments trade shows more

roads are now In good condition, and with
the milder weather travelling statesmen re-

more business. This reacts in favor of

country seems to be better provided with
money than in either of the last two years

a ready market. and for corn and oats and
live stock better than ordinary prices have
been realized. Yesterday there We're but
few changes in prices. Staple groceries,
dry goods, drugs, in fact nearly all lines
of goods, show a steady. firm tone. Fruits
and vegetables are moving more freely since
the weather moderated, but prices still have

A Practical Measure of Reform.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
! glad TO see the columns of the Jour
nal open to free and fun discussion of
the Nicholson BILL Nothing but error is
afraid of the light, so let it blaze till all
are acquainted alike with the strong points
and weak points of the proposed legislation
1 desire to offer the following reasons why
the Nicholson bill should become law:
First-It is a practical measure. Every
one who knows anything about it knows
that our present license law is a cunningly-
devised measure, secure in its protection of
the saloon keeper, rich in its provisions of
penalty so adrotly defined as to battle the
most competent court OF justice and render
its enforcement impossible. These intrica-
cies the Nicholson bill sets aside by defining
in the simplest terms the offense, prescrib-
ing the penalty and providing for Its en-
fgrcement
Second-It is pacific measure. Touching

Nicholson Supporters Look on 1t
with Suspicion.
A bill has been prepared, which the
friends of the Nicholson bill think is de-
signed to weight down their measure. This
second bill calls for license of drug stores
that sell liquor. the license to be as heavy
as that of saloon keepers. 1t is doubtful if
such a measure could pass either House or
Senate and for that reason the Nicholson
bill folks look upon it with suspicion. 1t
had not been introduced yesterday.
Mr.. Nicholson was ready with his commit
tee report yesterday, but was given no op-
portunity to present it. The roll of. commit
tees for reports will be called to-day.

Memorial Sunday.

At the appointed hour Sunday morn
iIg, the G.. A. r. post, Sons of Veter-
ans in uniform, and the Ladies' Aid
Society formed in column at their hall
and marched to the Congregational
CHURCH, which was profusely decorated
with red, white and blue bunting, and
the Stars and Stripes, besides very
pretty display of plants and flowers.
The old church was filled to it's utmost
capacity and many stood in the hall
way and aisles, unable to find seating
room. The opening hymn, "Corona-
tion," was sung by the Congregational
choir, prayer was offered by Rev. W.
L. Langrell, the Italian hymn was
sung, followed after scriptural read
ings by a most beautiful anthem. Then
came the memorial sermon by Rev. G.
D. Moore, which was one of the most
appropriate sermons ever delivered to
O. A1uCOuOll SlSSdCI LII WdS re-
plete with patriotic sentiments from
beginning to close, and full of words of
comfort to the forty or more old vet
Grams who intently followed the earnest
preacher through his we'll wQrded SER
mon. It was not an arraignment full
of bitterness and hatred tn tho mon
who opposed the veterans in the great
war, but rather a plea that the right
hand of fellowship should go out to the
defeated champions of the lost
Cause;;" that the great differences
should be lost sight of in the realm of
charity. It was truly a laudable effort
on the part of Rev. Moore, and has en-
deared him to many who knew him not
before.

Through the towns of Wyanette,
Spencer Brook and Spring Vale where
the writer has lately passed, there is
as fine a prospect for crops of all kinds
as has ever been noted in Isanti county.
Many acres of new land have been
broken, and planted this spring, new
houses and barns have sprung up all
through the country, as evidence of
the great prosperity those thrifty and
independent people now enjoy. Some
of the farm houses are beyond the
ordinary kinds, being built of brick
with fine plate glass windows and
many. other adornments not noted in
the town residences. The growth and
development of the townships named
are truly remarkable.

MAPS!
| And the lights are out 49,
The dead are sleeping on the hills,
7 And in the wales they sleep
And wait the reveille
That wakes no more to war
But 10 eternal peace!
Upon this grave the lilies and
On that the roses fade;
And fading there, they to the
Fadeless pay the homage of
a nations sorrow and its love?
The gentle flowers know
Neither side in arms;
They draw no lines;
Ihey give their fragrance freely to
The Blue and Gray.
Asleep beneath the mother soil.
] Made richer by their blood,
And watered with the tears
or North and South!
A South and North,
. Made one by common grief,
Made new by sacrifice,
IN brave defence Of right,
AS each one saw the right.
To one came loss,
10 one came gain,
And G cd decides!
. What in the battle days
We might have thought, or said or done
Is quite forgotten now,
And standing by these grassy mounds
| In consecrated ground,
/ We are at peace, as they,
/ Who rest beneath them are,
With one flag over all,
And not star dropped from its place.
Our dead are dead 10 us;
No mother weeps the less
! Because her boy wore blue or gray!
/ He was her child,
That is enough;
/ And buried there, she gives
Him all her tears,
Remembering only this,
That he is dead!
Beyond, there is no blue or gray,
But clothed in white,
4 The serried ranks that fought
Shall fight no more,
{ That which is lost is lost;
\ Let us forget the past,
And nobly with the hands
That made the wounds,
Bind up the wounds,
And hide the scars
In flowers! New York Sun.

The following from the LIE Sueur
Sentinel will be of interest to the MANY
teachers who attended the training
school here q year ago last summer:
| Miss Justina Leavitt, who had been
reelected principal of the high school,
on Monday last sent in her resignation,
to take effect at the close of the pres
ent term. In an interview Miss Lea
witt informed the Sentinel that she
should not teach this year. Her loss
will be generally regretted, for she has
shown herself to be a most excellent
teacher and has rendered our schools
most Invaluable service. She will take
with her in whatever walk in life she
shall choose to follow, the sincere we'll

Temperance.
Mrs. Susanna Frye, state president
OF the W. G. T. u, spoke Sunday
evening, to one of the largest audiences
that has ever assem- bled in the NJ. E.
church. The lady is an earnest work.
er, and has the subject of temperance
and the evils of intemperance at her
tongues end. In all the states except
three southern states the cause of tenn
perance has been aided by legislative
enactments. The speaker reviewed
these facts as strong evidences of the
onward march of reform, but insisted
that more radical steps be taken to
crush the evil.
Two hundred and fifty thousand sa-
looms are today running their scorch-
ing bells Of iniquity, destroying body
and soul of millions of people, filing
our insane asylums, crowding the poor
houses, jamming our jails and prisons
with the fruits of their pernicious in
| huences, yet there is a hesitancy on the
part of those high in authority about
graphing the monstrous curse and
hurting it headlong from our land.
The speaker held the audience for over
an hour, and as she is a rapid talker
the ground was pretty we'll covered in
that time. AS a temperance speech it
was first-class one, and stamps the
lady as most able and eloquent expo
nent of the temperance cause. She
spoke Monday night in the Prairie
school to a good sized audience.
The NJ. e. choir of about 20 voices
furnished appropriate music for the oc-
casion. The singers are not all artists,
nor do they possess the finest vrices
ever heard, but what they lack in
quality is made up in quantity and
good cheer and good feeling with an
evident desire on the part of the better
singers to assist and build up the
younger people in the vocal music line,
that they may, one day, step in and fill
like sphere of usefulness. The mis-
takes and not-yet-matured voices are
cheerfully borne, and every encourage
ment held out to induce the young sing
ers to step in and do the best they can.
1t is a proper spirit and deserves COM
mendation.

The order is making rapid progress
in Montana and in Idaho. Limited
space forbids any further specific re-
port, but the most encouraging re-
ports come from Wyoming and it is
confidently expected that the member
ship in that state will double up rapid
ly. The same prediction may conf
IDENTIFY be made of the membership of
Utah, Idaho, Montana and New Mexi-
CO.
The order has had a. most remarka-
BILE growth in the districts nameh
since the beginning of the present year
at which time only two tents of the
order were in existence in such dis
trict; now at the the close of 1885,
thirty tents and about one thousand
members are found there. Only a wor-
thy order could make such wonderful
growth in so short a time.

The issue in this case was not fatal,
but the folk averred that she was not

been singed. A bag of the northern
isles was at times thought to be
metamorphosed into a porpoise, and
in fair weather she would dive under
and overturn a. fishing boat, against
whose skipper she bore a grudge. On
one occasion she was made to place
