hibition. Three young ladies of Dem
crest hono-s reclted pieces with credit
to themselves and interest to the audi
ence. These ~reciters were Hazel Nc.
Intyre, Katie Zeeman, Nina C,ough, and
also little Master Mcintyre. Mrs. j. L.
Hubbell sang Calvary" and Mrs. Aid
rich Of Brookings recited alaska" with
good effect. An encore was responded
to by "The religious kittens" The
speakers Of the occasion were Rev. H.
E. Norton Of Dell Rapids who spoke up
on the "relatlon of the saloon to citizen
ships and showed very clearly that a
good citizen could not endorse the saloon
or it's existence. A good citizen would
be for the enforcement of law every
time, even if he had to leave his regular
party to secure it.
G. A. Uline Of Dell Rapids also spoke
strongly On the relation of the saloon
to business" He never knew the saloon
to do a man any good personally, he
never knew the saloon business to do a
town any good and he knew that be had
prospered better because be never dealt
in liquor, he knew that Dell Rapids was
a better town and prospered better for
shutting up the saloon business and he
knew many people in the country around
Dell Rapids who fed, clothed and paid
debts better since prohibition went into
effect than ever before. These PROPOSE
tions be stood ready to prove.
G. E. Hager spoke on the civic fedora
ton as a good organization to improve
city government and thereby improve
the tone Of politics and secure the en-
forcement Of law in the cities. 1t unit
ed the good elements OF all parties in
n concerted effort for good and pure
government, by uniting the influence of
capital.
Mrs. Picklsr spoke on "Woman's part
in the work" giving a history of "Poly.

Washington.
Rev. A. E. Carhart spoke of the Estate
prohibition %union," it's general ain and
purposes without going into detail on
the plan OF work. He advocated union
OF all prohibition forces against the next
campaign, the need of enforcement of
the law until next election at least and
the need OF personal sacrifice in carry.
ing on the work.
EVENING PROGRAM.
After the Chorus practice the band
played a selection or two in fine taste
which we're heartily received and the
audience would gladly have listened to
more of it. One OF the great disappoint
meuts the last week has been the lack
of the regular band concert. This more
than anything else draws the attendance
from the city and the sidetracking OF
the concerts has been disappointing
both to the band and to the citizens.
THE MATTERHORN."
Before the introduction Of DR.. Eugene
May, "The Red Fan" W, recited by
Miss Erwin very artistically to piano
music.
Dr. Mays lecture was intensely inter
esting. His hurried trip from Naples to
Rome. thence to Pisa, Florence, Geneva,
Lucerne-the wonders of the latter city
the lion sculptured in roch In honor OF
the Swiss Guard who fsll at Paris; the
Lauterbrunen valley and many other
points OF natural interest on the way to
the Matterhorn. The Grindelwald ia.
nous for its natural beauty was fully de-.
scribed in, glowing language and the
speaker frequently waxed eloquent in
hia apostrophes to those famous mount.
aims and valleys. But the ascent of the
M%atterhorn, scaled for the first time
July IA, 1865, was marvellous in both
daring and 'delineat,on. A mountain
10000 feet high to the base of the Der.
pendicular cliff which rises to a heigh,
OF 5000 feet more in almost a sheer pre-.
cipice Of ice and rock. This was ascend.
ed by DR.. May and his two guides and
his narration Of the feat and the won.
derful scene and sights beheld, is the
theme of 1oftiest inspiration and clio.
quence to the doctor. One almost holds
his breath in suspense while the Docto,
is on the mountain and feels q sensation
OF relief only when he gets down again
1t was a great lecture.
