It is said that the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union is about 10 take active
measures TO push along the Sunday clos
ing movement, which il has been working
on for some time. Several meetings have
been held recently and another one is to
be held at the Chamber of Commerce on
Saturday next, and il is probable that
then the society's plan of action will be
outlined.
The society is determined to close the
saloons on Sunday in this city, in accord
ance with the laws of the state, IL there is
any possible way of doing 1t.
A circular has been printed containing
the provisions of the state law as 10 the
sale of intoxicating liquors, the keeping
open of theaters, race grounds. cock-pits;
also the provision which makes it unlaw-
full for persons to open on Sunday for the
purpose of the sale of goods, any place of
business whatever, and the duties of pub
lie officers in the premises. and it Is said
that the Womsn's Christian Temperance
cnion intends TO try to have enforced to
the letter all these provisions OF the law,
the operation Of which would tend to
make what is known as Puritan Sab
