Horrible Discovery at the Pole"
The shouting "speshul edishun"

SALOONS IN SAN FRANCISCO.

San Francisco last year outranked any city
OF its size in the number of its saloons, hav-
ing $3.50. This year the revenue report show
that the saloons have increased so that there
are now trifle over 1000, or one saloon for
every fifty persons in the city. The liquor
license is low, and new saloons are being
constantly opened, as no business promises
surer profits. Nearly all the corner groceries
sell beer and liquors. and the rule is that
these places keep open until midnight. The
result is that they are the greatest source Of
misery among worlingmen's families, even
outside the tenement districts, for the mon
spend their evenings and most oftheir wages
In the grocery barroom.. The increase In
all revenue over last year was $500, 900, the
total being over $4,000, 0c0.

EVERY SHOT TELLS,

II Is said that when newly enli5ted soldier
FIRST faces gunpowder, he inagines every
gun Is pointed at himself, but the veteran
experiences much less concern. having
learned that to kill one man in battle a
mans weight in lead must be shot away. 1t
Is not so with the shots fired by the alcohol
fiend; every one of these tells. The sun
never sets upon man who inaulges in
strong drinks without leaving him In worse
condition than did the setting sun of the day
before. These shots may do their work
slowly, hut there are only few drinking
men, comparatively speaking, who are not
being all the while undermined IN physical,
mental and moral strength by what they
fondly fancy to DO the best substitute known
to man for the tabled waters of Lethe.

Green Forest is what might properly

cold day it was, too, last Sunday,
when our citizens gathered out Ell

the free silver democrats, if it could
be proven by Col. Webber that silver
