Edward Cooper, the great tenn
perance worker, of Chicago,is holding
successful meetings at this place.
His audiences are large, Sunday
night the crowd being SO great that
many were unable to get in the hall.
Mr.. Cooper was for 20 years addicted

years has devoted his time and in

is doing much good.
Yesterday was Ash Wednesday,
the beginning of the Lenten season.
Lent is observed to a greater. or less
extent by most of the Christian
4 churches, but especially the Catho-
lie. The Catholic church believes in
the practice of blessing ashes on the
first day of Lent and placing small
particles of it on the heads of those
who confess themselves and declare
| contrition for their sins. The word
Lent means spring time, and during
this period all true Catholics are ex-
pected to examine their consciences,
confess their sins and receive the holy
communion--cleanse themselves as it
were and begin new life.
Friends of Fred Mason are en-
deavoring to persuade him to allow
his name to go before the caucus as a
candidate for mayor. Fred would
make an ideal mayor; he is full Of
push and energy, a first class bust
ness man, and every way qualified
for the position. The friends Of
Azom Forbes, Charley Smallwood
CHI. Sibley and Fred Humiston are
also doing some tall hustling, anc
the indications are that the fight will
be sort of catch as catch-can affair
We have heard Charley Crandall't
name mentioned in connection with
the recordership. A better selection
could not be made. As yet very
little has been said in regard to the
council. The only ones we have
heard mentioned are: Ray Humiston
NJ. Hammond, R. B. Plots H. NJ
Palm and J. J. Bingham.
