THE CONGRESSIONAL LYCEUM.
WILL DISCUSS SUFFRAGE.

Ats p. m. Sunday last, James A.
Clark, Esq, we'll known temperance
orator and lecturer addressed the Ma
tional Congressional Lyceum at Odd
Fellows Hail., 1906 M street north
west on Temperance" AS a speak
! er, Mr.. Clark'S style is fluent, easy and
pleasing. He drew several horrid and
heart-fendering word pictures of the
terrible and inevitable results of the
excessive use of Intoxicating liquors.
His address was timely and well re-
ceived by the audience
AT the conclusion Of Mr.. Clark S
address, Lawyer E. Y. Davis rose and
offered the following resolutions.
which by unanimous consent were re-
ceived and read:
The following resolutions were offer
ed by Z Y. Davis in the National Con-
gressional Lyceum at Odd Fellows
Hall, January 10Th 1898.
WHEREAS, in 1874 the territorial form
of government of the District of Col
umbia was by Congress abolished, and
WHEREAS, since that time the public
affairs of the said District have been
managed by Board of three Commits
sioners acting under the direct legis-
| lation of Congress, and
| WHEREAS, under the present form
of government of this District the resi-
dents thereof are deprived of the rights
of suffrage, contrary to the spirit, if not
the letter of the constitution of the
: United States, and
WHEREAS, the present form of gov
ernment IS non-republican and despot-
ic in its nature and therefore object
ionabIe to the majority of the residents
of the District and has so far proved
an unmitigated failure in MANY re-
SpectS, and,
WHEREAS, the House Committee on
District of Columbia is now having ar
gument pro and con on the subject of
suffrage and self government for said
! District:
BE 1T RESOLVED, that Congress
should, at nearly date cause, a special
election to be held in this District to
determine whether the residents of
! said District desire a change in the
present form of government.
RESOLVED FURTHER, that it is for the
, we'll being of the people as a whole of
the said District to have sufferage and
self government as they have a perfect
right under the constitution of the
United States.
After the subsidence of the ap-
plause which greeted the introduction
of the resolutions, LAWYER Stewart
being recognized by the chair, stated
that the resolutions were extremely
important and timely, and on his
motion the lyceum at once proceeded
to consider them. The discussion was
opened by Mr.. Williams, who after
utilizing his five minutes, was by unan-
imouS consent, honored by the extern
sion of his time to eight minutes. Mr..
Williams speech from start to finish
was vigorous and from his point of view
the District governmental system is
radically wrong.
Messrs. L. c. Moore and NJ. T.
ClinSscale favored the resolutions,
while Messrs. P. w. Frisby and Hill
opposed them on the ground that the
Distrlct's present form of government
is the best that could be inaugurated.
At this juncture vice-President DR.. A.
ii. Stevens was called to the chair and

RABIES.
A Genuine Case This Time and the Citizens

A Genuine Case This Time and the Citizens
Should Keep Sharp Lookout.
A week ago last Saturday a stray
dog suffering from rabies was shot
near John Boyn's farm north of town.
but not until after he had bitten
several of Mr.. Boyn's hogs. Last Sat
urday, just a week later, two of the
swine showed symptoms of hydropho-
bia and died: The hogs froth at the
mouth and finally as their frenzy in
creased would sit upon their launches
and bark like dog. Another DOG is
reported to have been bitten, one be-
longing to William Schimming, and he
has it chained awaiting developments.
The danger to the citizens of Prince
ton lies in the fact that the dog. in
question is said to have come to the
village after he had bitten Boyn's hogs
and was only shot on his return an
hour or so afterward. " 4. "a
All owners of dogs owe to themselves
and their neighbors to keep them I'M
der close surveillance, for while it is
not known for a certainty that any
have been bitten it is very likely some
have. Where this affected canine
! came from no one seems to know and
the public is also quite ignorant Of the
territory he covered before he was
killed s.--.

81 Late last Saturday afternoon friends
found the body Of O.. B. Johnson, a
farm r$liying in Oxford lying in the
snow at some distance from his house.
BY his side lay an open jackknife and
q bloody cash across his throat told all
too, plainly how death came to him.
Coroner Englund, of Cam bridge, was
notified and held an in
quest, the jury deciding, after hearing
the testimony that the unfortunate
MAJ had died by his own hand. The
evidence showed that his family re-
la ations had not been of the pleasantest
nature and brooding on this lamentable
state of affairs, the mans mind became
unbalanced and during this mental de-
#rangement he took matters into his
goWn hands and decided to end the
Etrouble by shutting off this mortal coil.

and his unexpected death came as a
great shock to his friends. ~.

Christmas Wedding Bells Ring MerriIy for
Two Young People. IL
On Christmas morning, at the home
of the brides mother, occurred the
marriage of Miss Eliza beth g. Gates
to Mr.. Tram J.zWoods, Of Pipestone,
the ceremony being performed by Rev.
/ J. S. Bouck. a-s.,. -.
This occurrence was one of the hap
piest events of the season The house
was beautifully trimmed with Christ
mas wreathing and holly and in the
parlor was canopy formed by a
wreath suspended from the ceiling, and
into which hung two white bells. From
this the wreathing was draped back to
the windows, while on each side we're
banked a profusion of house plants.
The wreathing, draped as it was, made
a veritable fairy house, and the bride
dressed in a handsome gown of white
nuns yelling, trimmed with chiffon
and ribbons, carrying a. huge boquet of
brides roses, with the groom, made a
beautiful sight, as to the, strains of
Mendlesohn's wedding march they de-
Seconded the stairs and stood under the
overhanging bells. H..
When the ceremony was performed,
after the introductions and congratu-
lations, Mr.. and Mr.. Woods, with their
guests, sat down to a bountiful dinner,
after which the guests retired to their
| homes, regretting that Mr.. Woods
took away one of our loved ones, but
consoled by the assurance that no.
where outside OF Princeton could he
find his choice. Numerous handsome
and valuable presents were given the
happy young couple as tokens Of the
esteem in which theYare held by those
who know them best. TX.
| Mr. and Mrs. Woods left Monday
evening for their future home in Pipe
stone, where the groom is engaged in

wishes Of a host of friends. ..- i

county's pioneers, died atlhis home in
.Anoka last FRIDAY. Mr.. Putnam was
a thoroughly honest and, upright man
in whom the people Of Anoka reposed
the utmost confidence. d. He served
several years. as treasurer ff the
county, was: the eounty's representa-
tive in the legislature for at least two
terms and at the time of his death was
county auditor, position which lie
had held for fourteen years. He was
quite well known in this county, har-
ing been engaged at one time in lum-
bering in the Rum river pineries.
This is a good time Of the year for
the farmers to study the methods Of
other agricu1turalists It is easier to
profit by i the experiences of Others
than by your own experiments and
costs much less. The long winter
evenings give ample; portunity for
this and in this day of cheap literature
the expense is triaing.
