W. c. T. U. COLUMN.


My Dear Sisters: You are we'll aware
no doubt, that our last legislature re-
submitted to vote of the people the
question Of our constitutional prohibi-
tion. We are now entering in earnest
upon the battle. We know that the
eyes of every w. G. T. U. woman are
upon us, watching with the greatest
anxiety the result.
We have prohibition union; Rev.A.
E. Carhart of Elk Point, ST. is presi-
dent. This union is taking the whole
burden of the campaign upon their
own shoulders, but they cannot carry
out their plans to the extent they wish,
for lack of funds. Thedrouth- stricken
condition of our state for the last few
years has put us all down at the foot
of the ladder financially, especially
with the hard times that have come
upon us as a nation. Three times has
the question of prohibition been set
tied and each time have we gained the
victory. The fourth time is upon us
for settlement. Shall we let it go by
default because We lack the means to
flood our state with speakers, singers
and literature?
worked as representative of our
state w. G. T. U. with our state presi-
dent at the legislature, against resub-
mission. A brewer from Sioux Falls
was there working for resubmission.
asked him why he wanted to carry
the legislature in favor of resubmission.
"Your side argues that you sell more
beer aud liquor under prohibition than
under high license" Mark his answer:
II want my business like the grocer's
business" "Ah," said, "you want
your business legalized. You want it
made respectable by law" "Yes, that
is what want"
My dear sisters of the white-ribbon
army, come over and help us by your
free-will offerings to keep the legalized
curse out of our state, so that when
the election returns come in the glad,
good news shall go out over the state
and nation, "South Dakota is saved.
No man can run Il saloon within our
borders, under license high or low"
Remember the wealth of the National
Liquor Dealers asso ciation on the one
hand to help the saloon forces to carry
the day; think, on the other band, of
the grand, good women and men who
today are putting their hands into their
scanty purses to gain the day for tenn
perance. Send your contributions to
Rev. A. E. Carhart, Elk Point, SD. He
is one of the tried and true, who will
see that every gift is put into the work
where it will do the most good. Yours
in the bonds of our w. G. Il. u, Anna
r. Simmons, Vice President State w.

sumption.
A Greek delegate. Argyriades, then
tried to read an address of sympathy
with the Cuban insurgents, but the dele
gates, desiring to wind up the Congress,
declined to listen and Herr Liebknecht,
the Socialist member of the German
Reichstag. who was chairman of the
day, then announced that Paris, New
York and German city had been sug-
gested for the meeting place of the con-
sress of 1890. The congress decided to
go to a German city, but the particular
spot was not decided upon and the ses-
sion ended with the singing of "Auld

"Carmag nole" and with three cheers for
the Socialist revolution

That night Guffanta stood in the library
Of what had once been Waiter Cundall' $
house in Grosvenor place. i'll the room IN
which the murdered man had spent hours
Of agony after he had learned that Ida
Raughton's love was given to another:
and to Mr.. Stuart he told all that he
knew.
10 Lord Penlyn's request. nay, to his
command, that he should tell him al, he
paid 10 attention; indeed, he voucl>afed
no words to him beyond those Of suspi-
cion and accusation.
IL know so much" he said, speaking in
the calm, cold voice which had only once
failed hinl-the time when he had dlscoy-
cred that the assassin had in some way
obtained entrance to the deserted garden
during his absence, ''as to be able to say
that you are not your brothers murderer.
But, unless there is something very
strange that as yet l do not know. that
murderer is known to you. aud you are
shielding him from me-"
1T is falsew Lord Penlyn said, advanc-
ing to him and standing boldly and def
antly before him. Gas God hears me, i
swear that it is false. And you snail tell
| me what you know, you shall Justify
your vile suspicious of me"
"Yes," the Senior replied, Il shall jas

once sprang ut his own brother in the
park when that brother told him he was
bearing Il name not rightly his; and once
more he felt himself in grasp of IRON,
and poWeress.
''Be careful" Senior Guffanta said, as
he hurled him back, ''be careful, or l
shall do you an injury"
Stuart had endeayored to come between
them. but before he could do so the short
struggle was over and then the Spaniard
turned to him and said. II must speak to
you alone. Come with me-" and, turning.
left the room.
Before Stuart followed him he spoke to
Penlyn, and said:
do not take this too seriously to heart.
This man is evidently under some delu-
sion, if not as to the actual murderer, at
least as to your connection with the crime.
Perhaps, when he has told me what he
knows, we shall find out where the error
lies; and then he will ask your pardon for
his suspicious"
1T is too awfulv' Penlyn said, ''too
awful to be borne. And can do nothing.
l wish | could have killed him as he stood
there falsely accusing me, but he is a
giant in strength"
''Let me go to him now" Stuart said;
"and do not think of his words. Remem-
Der, he, too is excited at having seen the
man again and missed him. And if he
does not absolutely bind me to silence
will tell you ALL"
Then he, also, went away.
