entertainment at the opera house
next Saturday evening. The com
pany appear here under the auspic-
es Of the Epworth League, All the

The weather has been exception
ally pleasant during the past week,
the only bad period being for a few
hours Saturday afternoon, when a
light snow commenced to dance to
the tune of a strong wind, and gave
every promise of stormy night.
This baby blizzard drove holiday
purchasers out of the stores and to
their homes, but ceased It's fury
about nine O clock, after which the
| sky cleared, the moon shone out
lovely and Sunday opened and con-
tinued an ideal Christmas day. It
was just the kind of a night for
Santa Claus to appear on bicycle.
Rev. Jas, Earl, Congregational
minister at Granite Falls and Bel
view, spoke at the opera house Mon
day evening, under the auspices of
the Anti-Saloon league Of this city.
The subject of the speakers lecture
was 'The Duty of American
Citizens. The opera house was
about half filled and the lecture was
listened to with close attention dur
ing the short space OF time that was
taken up by the speaker. Mr. Earl
is portly built man, with a strong
voice, and delivers his lecture with
an earnestness which calls forth the
approval of the audience by close
attention. And then, too, the speak
err did not altogether lay the blame
of the condition of affairs on the
saloons. The church members were
brought in for their just share OF
the blame. He spoke of how the
business interests were affected by
the liquor traffic, how the saloons
worked different schemes to get the
vote of the people, how they bribed
legislators, and why the saloons
should be voted out. The church
must drive the saloon out. The
lecture, besides being interesting,
had the merit of being short, and
the crowd dispersed about nine
o'clock. Tonight, tomorrow even
ing and Friday evening J. H. Bat
tey, State superintendent of the An
ti-Saloon league, will speak in the
opera house at 7:3O o'clock each ev-
ening,
