MIR, RUSSELL'S LECTURE.

Large Audience Gathers at tho Court
The subject of temperance has been
discussed, probably, to greater extent
than any one other and in more differ
ent ways. Rev. Howard Russell, ma
tional superintendent OF the anti saloon
league, delivered an address on tenn
perance at the court house Tuesday
evening, which was one of the best pre-
sented arguments we have heard in
some time. There was large audi
ence present that echoed the senti-
ments of the speaker heartily. Ar
rangements had been made to have the
Juvenile band play on the street and
then march to the court house and
render several selections, but unfortun-
ately the band failed to keep ite ap-
pointment. The boys should pay
closer attention to their engagements
ii they expect to do business, and there
was hardly any excuse for their absence
on the occasion.
Notwithstanding this disappointment
the audience joined in singing a familiar
hymn, led by Rev, Mr.. Burleigh, and
followed with prayer by Rev. c. W..
Mcconnell. Rev. Mr.. Burleigh in
troduced the speaker, who stated that
that in presenting his thoughts upon
the subject would surround himself with
the environments of court room and
become witness in the case at hand,
stating what he had seen of the saloon
and what he knew OF it. Without any at
tempt at oratory he gave talk that was
full of solid common sense. He riveted
the attention of the audience and drove
home his argument with force and
truth.
At the close of his discourse he read
off about 40 names and requested the
persons to remain and talk over the
anti-saloon league matters, embracing
the work in this state. He said ther
was not much for league to accom-
plish in q state where the business had
become legalized, other than to see
that the law surrounding the saloon
business was not overstepped. Nothing
more than this could be done. He
urged that the subject be agitated
every month or 80 in order that the en-
thusiasm may not die out and the
league become of little use when the
opportunity should present itself to do
business. Mr.. Russell was accompan-
led by Rev. A. E. Carhart, OF Elk
Point, the presidenent of the state anti
| saloon league, and donations were ask.
ed at the after meeting for funds to
continue the work in this state, under
the direction of the state league. The
two gentlemen went east today to fill
other appointments in leading towns.

Wise Men Know

1t is folly to build upon g. poor founda.

A foundation of sand is insecure, and to
deaden symptoms by narcotics or nerve
compounds is equally dangerous and
receptive. The true way to build up
health is to make your blood pure,
