STIR Up PROHIBITION.
Stete Temperance Union Going to
Agitate Right in the Campaign.

The state temperance union will open
up a series of revivals in Topeka act
ing upon the belief that whatever help
the prohibitionists receive must come
through a moral agitation of the ques-
ton.
Secretary Stephens of the union has
divided the city into districts and the
churches in each of the districts will
unite in a temperance revival. The first
will be held at the Third Christian
church in the Second ward a week from
next Sunday evening.
The intention IS to make these meet
ings as large and enthusiastic as pos
sible The awakening of the people by
this means is what gave us prohibit
ton" said Secretary Stephens. What
is needed more than anything else now
is an old-fashfoned revival. If the pro-
hibitory law is to be saved 1t must be
by this means
The question is what are the speak
ers at these REVEALS going to say about
Governor Morrill,. Governor morrill, S
friends regard this agitation as very
inOppOrtune.

SLIGHT UPWARD TURN.

Market Shade Better.
New York, Sept. 5.-R. G. Dun & Co.

New York, Sept. 5.-R. G. Dun & Co.
in their weekly review of trade say:
There is a distinct return of conf
dence, due largely to the continuing and
heavy imports Of gold, which have put
an end to money anxiety, and also to
political events, which are closely
watched. While it does not yet start
more mills and factories than are clos
ing for want of work, it crops out in
the speculative purchases of pig iron
wool and some other ma terials, by ex-
perienced men who believe that re-
viVal Of business is not far off, and for
The first time in two months a slight
upward turn appears in prices of man
ufactured products The gain in con-
ddence and the willingness TO lend and
invest gives reason to hope that the
necessary replenishment of stock which
cannot long be deferred will be liberal
enough to stimulate fair activity in
trade and industry.
