a committee, which was busily engag-
ed in distributing tracts tending to
educate the voter to cast his ballot
against license. This committee dis
tributed these tracts in stores and
other places, handing them personally
to voters, and insisting on them read
ing them no matter whether they had
already voted or whether their minds
we're made up to vote for license.
After the distribution of the tracts the
several committees appointed to get
out the no-license votes got down to
business aud began pulling in the
voters as rapidly rs they could urge
them. This was not very fast, how
ever, the voter taking his own time.
At noon there was not over 100 votes

at from Is to 40, although they claim
ed so majority in their street talk.
During the canvass of the votes the
excitement was simply intense. For
instance, in the First ward, in the first
twenty votes counted no-license had a
majority of about eight. In the Sec
ond ward it was running even with IL
cense a few ahead. This caused a
great deal of running back and forth
between the ward stations during the
count and the excitement grew more
severe every moment. The second
ward was the first to conclude the
count and it stood 70 against license
and SO in favor, a majority of one
against the issuance. Ten voters did
not vote on the issue.
The news was carried down to the
first ward station where only ten bal
lots remained to be counted. Then
license was ahead five votes in the
ward or four in the city. The remain
der gave license two more majority a
total majority of six. The ward cast
80 votes in favor of license and rs for
no-license, or a majority of seven, In
both wards license received 157 votes
and no-license Isl. There we're ISL
votes cast in the first ward and 149 in
the second.
The license men claim that the vote
was not fair test because a large
number of men in favor of it were not
allowed to vote on account of not hav
ing their second papers. They also
claim that no-license people would
have needed Il more votes in
order to have won out, they constru
ing the law to mean majority of all
votes cast so far as no license is con-
cerned.

After discoursing the menu J. R.
Lankard arose and delivered short
jollying speech. He said that the re-
naming "push" in the court house
was sorry to have Geo. Evans, j. L.
Byram and G. w. Mead leave the
court house. He made neat little
compliment to each one of the retiring
officers and made especial reference to
some of them for efficient services rem
dered. After getting through jollying
the whole retiring push he stepped up
to the head of the table where j. L..
Byram and wife we're seated, and pre-
sented the ex-clerk with souvenir
spoon, on which was engraved the
first year in which Mr.. Byram took
the Office and the year in which he re-
tired. Mr.. Byram was deeply affect
ed, but did not respond.
Supt. Race was the next speaker.
He commented pleasantly on Mr..
Lankard's comments said that it was
with pleasure and sorrow that he said
goodbye to the ''push" that was going
to leave, and remarked that they had
all filed their Offices we'll. He hoped
that the oth,r officers in the court
house could retire with such good rec
ords. He jocosely remarked that the
retiring officers would have to invent
new excuses to their wives, now that
they could not say that they we're
working in the court house until 10,
IL and IL o'clock. But he thought
that their versatile brains would be
equal to the task. Mr.. Race then pre-
sented George Evans with souvenir
spoon with the year 1881 and 1896 en-
graved upon the same.
County Attorney Clague regretted
that Sheriff Mead was not present.
He said that the two Offices in close
communication we're those of attorney
and sheriff. Mr.. Mead had made an
excellent sheriff there was not bet
tel one in the State than Mr.. Mead
has made. cit is the hope of those
now in office that we can step out
with as good records as Mr.. Mead
leaves behind him."
There was a spoon for Mr.. Mead.

retired to. the parlor.

FOR BURGLARS.
Alarm System in the Bank of Red
wood Falls.


S. Witherell, an electrician of Fort
Madison, Iowa, inventor of Witherells
bank protection system, has been in
the city during the past week, placing
in his patent burglar alarm system in
the Bank of Redwood Falls. He will
also probably place the same in the
Redwood County Bank, and is now
engaged in putting in patent fire
alarm system in Hotel Francois.
The alarms for the banks are what
is known as the day and night system.
In case burglar enters the bank at
night and attempts to enter the
vault or get into the safe the alarm,
connected with the vault and safe by
a mercurial attachment, Immediately
sends forth strong alarm.
The day system is perfect one. 1t
is so arranged that in case any one at
tempts to rob the bank, an alarm can
Immediately be given. The cashier or
employee of the bank would, in case
OF a robbery, be asked to hold up his
hands. AT different places in the floor
of the banks there are buttons. The
employee or officer need only put his
foot on one of these buttons to give the
alarm. The alarm is given to persons
in other buildings, which happen to
be connected with the bank, or is Civ
en- to pedestrians on the street.
A case in point occurred down in
Dallas City, Iowa, recently. While
the cashier of bank at that place was
alone robber entered and pointing
two revolvers at the cashier through
the portal demanded him to hold up
his hands and surrender the contents
of the money drawer and safe, threaten
ing death in case of refusal. A pal stood
guard at the door in order to prevent
an entrance or to warn the captain" !"
in case any person approached.
The cashier stood directly in front
of the robber. He threw up his hands
per request. But his foot was not
idle, and it pressed a button-the
alarm did the rest. Two men came
in from the drug store into which
place the wires went. They surprised
the sentinel, who escaped without
alarming his pal, who still covered the
cashier with the revolvers. The two
men entered the bank, threw their
arms around the robher, and without
even shot being exchanged placed
him under arrest. Had it not been
for the electrical alarm it is probable
that the robbery would have been a
perfect one.
On the robbers person was found
the two Smith & Wesson revolvers, a
policeman's short billy anda pair OF
hand cuffs evidently for the purpose
of handwriting the cashier. The
cuffs we're used on the robber when
found. The local bank officers feel a
might safer since the alarms have
been put in.

The Power OF Habit.

The power of habit is particularly exem-
plifled in the effects produced by the COM
pany we keep. The utmost vigilance, there
fore, should be exercised on this important
subject. The great power and force of
custom form an argument against keep
ing bad company. However shocked we
may be Mt the first approaches of vice, this
shocking appearance goes off upon an in
timacy with it, Custom will soon render
the most disgustful object familiar to our
view, and this is indeed kind provision
of nature, to render labor and toll and
danger, which are the lot of man, more
easy to him,
The well disposed youth, entering first
into bad company, Is shocked and disgust
ed ut every turn at what his sight beholds
and what he is compelled to hear. The
good principles which he had imbibed ring
in his ear an alarming lesson against the
wickedness of his companions But, alas,
this sensibility is of short continuance.
The next jovial meeting makes the horrid
picture Of yesterday more easily endured.
Rectitude is soon thought severe rule
an inconyenient restraint. A few pangs
of conscience now and then whisper to him
that he once had better ways and thoughts.
But even these by degrees die away, and
he who at first was shocked even at the ap-
pearance of vice may be formed by custom
into profiigate leader Of vicious pleas
