A BID FOR CELIBACY.

The Town Of Harper City, Harper
county, is being rent and torn politically
and religiously over the whisky ques-
ton, the trouble finally threatening the
disruption of the social status of that
people. 1t seems that the mayor and
city authorities, backed by business in
tereStS, proposed TO make the joinIists
contribute 10 the general revenues.
Later meeting was called at one of
the churches 10 protest against such an
evasion and violation of the prohibitory
law, at which a minister proceeded to
skin the mugicipal officials. more par-
tlcuiarly the county attorney, for a ne

happening 10 be present embraced the
opportunity 10 tell the preacher and his
sympathlzers Il whole lot of things of
which they seemed 10 be in ignorance.
His defence Of himself was not only
complete, but he charged the professors
with just what they had been accusing
him, mentioning the proofs of the fact.
The mayor and his hackers for the time
seemed 10 be on top. But subsequent
move has left everything in doubt. AM

HEARD FROM AGAIN.

The world will be hearing from An
dree for some time TO come, but al
iengthening intervals. Yesterday morn
ing it was through the killing of a car
rier pigeon, and long way round.
Few believe that he, his balloon, or pig
cons have in reality been seen or heard
from. 1t is now nearly five weeks since
he cut his air-Ship loose and sailed away
from Spizbergen, disappearing in the
direction of the North Pole. He started
In wind going twenty-five miles an
tour, which rate, if kept up, it is said,
without varying in direction, would car
~ him and his companions to and over
The North Pole in thirty-odd hours. He
took a number of carrier pigeons with
him. The report that some Of these had
returned is probably a hoax. A carrier
pigeon can ny much faster than twenty
two miles an hour in an equitable at
mosphere, but whether it could fly far
or at all back against a wind OF such
velocity in the Arctic circle is question
able. 1t was thought by one man at
least who witnessed the start that the
balloon was defective and would not
float with its great load more than for
a few hours. Andree and his two COM
panions We're provided with condensed
food sufficient for four months, or pro-
visions which would keep them comfort
able until the first of December. They
took along boat large enough TO carry
the party and its outfit, which was lash
ed beneath the cabin of the air-ship.
Nansen says that the boat would be of
no use in case the balloon came down
all right and safely hansen with one
companion and twenty-five dogs found
it hard enough TO get anywhere An |
dree has no dogs or sledges. But should |
Andree be heard of again, or should he |
actually sail over the Pole and get back |
alive, of what value 70 science, or TO the |
world, will the trip have proved? Prac- |
tically nothing. He would bring the in |
formation that it is very cold up there,
possibly would have a register of the |
degrees; that there was snow and ice,
all white and only white, and cold and |
nothing more. There can be no value
TO he found in that land. ii indeed, there
is any land or even sea there. All being
imbedded in or covered with the ice and
SHOWS Of unnumbered centuries, there
is nothing TO 90 for or 10 see save n spot
in this wilderness Of frigid desolation
where some imaginary lines cross or
meridians meet This being a material
istic age and there being no possible
valuable material in that dead and
whited wilderness, wherefore the sac
rifice?
