A Heroic Leader.

NJ w. Atwood, Prohibition candidate for governor
of Iowa believes "it requires more courage to be
Prohibitionist in Iowa than to the Merrimac
into the harbor of Santiago" Mr. Atwood has never
shown the white feather in the presence of the sa-
loonists. His zeal in prosecuting liquor sellers in
his home town of Baskerville is well known in that
part of the state. Frequently his life has been
threatened by the liquor outyaws. One Saturday the
day before the Fourth of July, he discovered that
four kegs of beer had been brought to town for the
celebration. HI swore out warrant and had the
stuff locked up. His life threatened by the
liquor men, but he armed himself with revolver,
and after announcing that if wanted he could be
found at home, went home and said his prayers and
was unmoested.

A Revival Needed.

The world is dying from the neglect of the church
to preach it repentance and remission of SINS"
and the church in turn languishes from its neglect
of that duty; and the world will go on it's way of
death and the churches will continue to 1anguish
until that of revivalists appears who will
preach to the sinner, whether outside the church
in pew in pulpit, such gospel shall convict
men of social and political sin and shall make their
converts the champions of honesty in government
publication in cal lfe impartial administration of
justice equitable utilization of natural resources and
of the abolition of such organized crimes as the
loon and it's complications.
The July number of Woman's Home Missions, the
official organ of the w. H M. S. of the M. E. Church.
contains bitter indictment against the administra-
ton. It says in part:
'The evil results from the late change in our civil
service appear constantly in Indian missions
good Christian in removed and pro-
fame and immora! substituted. In Oklahoma at
Ponca, respect is paid to the law regarding SELL
ing liquor to the Indians but crowds and from other
tribes also are freely supplied. Within four years
serious decline is observed in the Indian service
where the w. H. M. S. has missions. Never was the
foul hand of the politicians in evidence than it
is now in some places in the Indian service

If there is any especially hot thunderbolt in the

sellers Of decency and righteousness to their
nues for gain.-Epworth Herald.
There were about 25O delegates at the Kentucky
Prohibition convention. Mrs. Frances Beauchamp
state president of the w. C. T. u made perman-
ent chairman. Such thing happened before
in a Kentucky political convention. A full ticket
was nominated, headed by o. T. Wallace for Cover
nor. The platform declares for the suppression of
the liquor traffic, suffrage and for the repeal
of the Goebel election law.
G. N. Howard, originator Of the Rochester
Idea," says:
1--WE work to enforce such laws as we have and
strive to secure better ones But we don't propose
to do this by doing the work that perjured public
officials fail to do. business man might as well
perform the work of recreant empoye whom he is
paying to ensure it's being done. When public
official refuses to do his duty the practical
thing is not to do his work for him but kick him out
of Office"

J. Bond that national prohibition would when
the solid Church should be arrayed against the solid
saloon. Nearly all the temperance speakers scored
President Mckinley and his canteen. Attempts by
Bishop Hurst and others to boom Mr.. Mckinley sig
nally failed. The dramatic reading of his message
to the convention at Tomnson's hall before an i'm
mense audience was followed by call for three
cheers but only of the three given. Similar
failures took place at other meetings The radical
and brave speech of DR.. Chas. A. Crane of Boston
was punctured with uproarious applause from begin
ming to end and at its close he received wonderful
ovation. There were some indications of desire on
the part of the management to control the conven-
tions utterances in the interest of the Methodist
president
The resolutions presented by carefully selected
committee of the cut-and-dried order The
question of polygamy was attended to roundly, but
the temperance question and the canteen were dis
missed with brief paragraph that very poorly
pressed the real sentiment of the $4,000 energetic
young Methodists who filled the three great meetings
that night A prominent Epworth Lacquer, who at
tended the convention, said to "The Christian

Chattanooga, said:

Literary Notes.

Under the titIe3of His Brothers Broth
er, Colonel Il. w. Higgnson furnishes
to the August Atlantic biographical
and anecdotcal sketch of John Holmes,
a younger brother of the famous Auto
GRAFT of the Breakfast Fable, who pos
sessed many of the qualities of mind aud
heart which brought his brother so
much distinction. Colonel Higginson's
article gives many sparkling examples
to show that it was not lack of ability
which rendered the younger less famous,
that they were in effect ''par ao}ae
frdtr1tm.'
Fiction is the leading feature of the
August number of Harper's Magazine.
Among the short stories which it con-
tains are Allie Cannon's First and Last
Duel" by Seumas MacManus; "Thr
Lady of the Garden" by Alice Duer ;
THE Tree Of knowledge by Mary f..
wilkins; THE Angel Child" by Ste
phen Crane; "The Sorrows of Don
Tomas Pidal, Reconcentrado," by Fred
eric Remington; "A Duluth Tragedy

Portland Press The Bangor CORE
spondent of the Boston Herald credits
Congressman Bureigh with a plan for
the redistricting of the State in case the
next apportionment shall reduce the
representation of Congressman from four
to three. 1t is said that this plan COM
prehends the grouping of all the shore
counties east of Cumberland in one dis
trict, which shall correspond to the pres
ent second Maine district, which is to be
represented by Congressman-eect Lit
tlefield. The first district, represented
by Mr.. Reeds successor, whoever he
may be, would be made up, according to
this plan, as at present. with the proba-
bic addition of Oxford and possibly some
other western county. This would leave
the remainder Of the State, or as much
of it as should not be grouped with one
or the other OF these collections of coun-
ties, for the new third district, with an
opportunity for Congressman Burleigh
and Boutelle to fight out the question of
political supremacy. This is an in
genious plan, but probably Mr.. Burleigh
is not troubling himself particularly
about it. 1t Is not yet certain that Maine
will lose congressman.

A Cordial Greeting.

One of those thoroughly hearty and
social functions for which the Univer-
salist parish has always been noted was
the emanstion of the reception given 10
the new pastor, K V. George +. Leigh
ton, and wife, on Thursday evening, in
the Vestry.
The apartments were in floral and
vendure adornings, ard during the re-
ception hours which took place in the
parlor there was a large importing of
parishioners together with pastors and
representatives from other churches to
extend hearty welcome to the able min
lister and his estimable wife. The
couple were assisted in receiving by Mr..
and Mr.. Mrs. Andrew Z. Wendall, and
the ushers were Messrs. w. H, White,
Jr., WIN. n. Noyes, J. w. Rogers, Wal
lace Garrett.
During the evening strawberry and
vanilla ices and cake were served.
Piano and violin selections were render.
ed by Miss Aura Cook and Clarence JOY.
The gathering was representative of
the most congenia elements, and the
welcome and congratulations were ex-
tremely pleasing to the recipients of
these attentions.
During August Rev. Mr. Leighton
will take his vacation and with his wife,
soiourn in Maine. The church will be
closed during the four weeks.-Port
mouth Republican, (N. ~ July. II.

To Certain Subscribers.

Six months ago we sent special no.
tice to certain subscribers who were
owing us for the REPORTER for years or
more, advising them that il the amount
due us was not paid within reasonable
time we would take active measures TO
collect it.
Some of these subscribers responded
to this call, but much the larger number
did not, and, in order to keep our word
good, and in order te.get money due US,
we shall, as soon after August 18th as
practicable, either draw on those who
are then delinquent, through bank or
express, or leave the accounts with an
attorney for collection, unless we have
good and sufficient reason for doing
otherwise.
This is our last call in the REPORTER
on this particular list of subscribers and
we hope 1t Will be needed. so that ex-
pense and difficulty may be avoided.
All subscribers can settle much better
with us than with a third party and we
hope they will do it,
This notice is not intended to apply
to subscribers who are but year or two
in arrears, although we would be very
glad to have such remit as early as may
be practicable for them.
Remit by check, by express, or
through the mail by registered letter or

PENsE.
