This has been a quiet forenoon
at the lake, but it is expected that
things will iven up after dinner.
The usual G. L. S. G. and minis
terial conference session was held,
and at lO:45 the w. G. T. u.
met in the auditorium where q
parliame entary drill was conducted
by Mrs. Unruh. The lesson was
an interesting one, even to those
who were present out of mere GU
riosity rather than from a desire
to learn the best methods of w.
G. q. u. work.
Mrs. Ada Wallace Unruh adj
dressed a large audience yesterday
afternoon. There were but few
preliminary exercises. The Lyric
Ladies' quartet had been put down
on the printed program, but the
singers were not present, and SO
/ the audience was disappointed in
| that respect. But there was no
disappointment so far as the
address was concerned, for it
came up to everybody's ex-
pectation. The devotional exer-
cises were conducted by Mrs. Nc
Kinney and after the audience had
joined in singing "Where is Ny
Wandering Boy Tonight" and
prayer had been offered, Mrs. Un-
rub was introduced and began her
address. q
"What do we as a nation most
need today?" she asked. "It is
men, she replied, "tall and noble
men, grand and pure men, clear
minded and level headed men to
go out and contend for the right.
These men must come from the
boys and hence the necessity Of
taking proper care of the latter. .
Mrs. Unruh said we make it very
easy for the boys to do wrong and
very hard for them to do right and
she had sometimes wondered why
it was so hard to make men under
stand this. The reserve fund in
treasury at Washington is hedged
about by law and enactment that
the credit of the nation may be
preserved, but there is little legisla.
ton to protect the boys. and what
few laws there have been designed
for that purpose, are too often poor
ly enforced.
Mrs. Unruh stated that
there are 100000 licensed saloons
in the United States, an equal
number of gambling dens, and a
myriad of brothels from all Of
which go forth a declaration to the
effect that it shall be made as hard
as possible for the boys to do right
and easy for them to do wrong.
Is this right? she asked. The boy
who stears through all this temp
tation and comes to a pure, clean.
manhood has lot of moral stami-
ma and there are comparatively few
such.
North Dakota was highly COM
plimented by the speaker because
it had outlawed the saloon. She
said it had done better than most
other states. Il have often seen
in other states a drunken beggar,
I have never seen one in North
Dakota;'' was one of her observa.
. tons.
Mrs. Unruh bore down on the
men rather severely. She accused
them of being Indifferent concern.

uor question for fear that if they
take decided stand their business
might suffer. IF I was a whiskey
man" she exclaimed, "I'd be q
whiskey man, and if I was a tenn.
perance man I'd be one. I would
let the world know where I stood.' =
If any of the men present wanted
to get on the fence they would
have to wait until more fences

able to distinguish the difference
between progressive euchre and
other forms of gambling.
The w. G. T. u, she declared,
doesn't like tobacco first hand, it
doesn't like it second hand,
lit doesn't like to be
smoked. She wouldn't argue
against the tobacco habit from an
aesthetic standpoint, however, but
on the ground that it harms the
boys. 1t destroys fine perception
of sight and vitiates the taste to
such an extent that the con-
firmed user Of tobacco can hardly
distinguish the difference between
soap grease and creamery butter.
Mrs. Unruh also touched upon
the social evil, saying that she
would have the man who is NOR
al leper subjected to the same
disgrace and punishment that is
meted out to the woman who is a
moral leper. The woman is
scorned, denied admission to de-
cent society, and the man ought to
be treated in the same manner.
The idea of the world seems to be
that sin in woman is to be con-
demned while sin on the part of a
man is to be condoned.
Mrs. Unruh held the close at
tention of the audience from the
beginning to the close Of her ad-
dress. She will speak again next
Monday evening, subject, "That
Old Bachelor
There was no speaking in the
auditorium last evening, but fine
concert program was carried out by
the Chautauqua talent. The In
dian band quartet gave aselection,
the Lyric Ladies quartet sang a
lullaby, Nolan treated the audience
to few impersonations, w. Hill
and Miss Whitaker followed and
Mrs. Beaumont sang a solo. The
Indian quartet rendered another
selection and Miss Jones and Mrs.
Beaumont sang a duet. Then fol-
lowed banjo duet by Mr.. and Mrs.
Hill that aroused the enthusiasm
of the crowd to a high pitch. MOL
an, the fun maker next entertained
the audience and the Lyrics closed
the entertainment. It was feast
of good things but no better than
SO large and appreciative an au-
dience deserved.

Power for Ministers Protection.

WASHINGTON. August 9.-The State
Department this morning made public the
following memorandum sent yesterday to
the Chinese Government through Minister
Wu:
I'VE are availing ourselves of the op-
portunity offered by the Imperial edict OF
the 5th Of August. allowing TO the for
eign ministers free communication with
their respective Governments in cipher. and
have sent communication to Minister
Conger, to which we await an answer.
DEMAND CESSATION.
we are already advised by him, IN
brief dispatch received August 7th, that
Imperial troops are firing daily upon the
ministers in Pellin. We demand an .mme-
date cessation of hostile attacks by I'M
peria1 troops upon the legations. and urge
the exercise of every power and energy of
the Imperial Government for the protec-
ton of the legations and all foreigners
therein.
I'VE are also advised by the same dis
patch from Minister Conger that, in his
opinion. foreign ministers to leave Pc
kin. as proposed in the edict Of August Cd.
would be certain death. In view Of the
fact that the Imperial troops are now fir
ing upon the legations and in view of the
doubt expressed by the Imperial Govern
1nent in its edict IF August % as to its
| power to restore order and secure absolute
safety in Pekin 1t is evident that this ap-
| prehenson is we'll founded. for if your
Government cannot protect our ministers
in Pekln. It will presunptively be unable
to protect him upon a journey from Pekin
to the coast
To COOPERATE
I'VE therefore urge upon the Imperial
Government that 1t shall adopt the course
suggested In the third clause of the letter
of the President to His Majesty, the En-
peror of China. Of July 23d. 1900. and

dieting witnesses continued. The prosecu-
ton claims to be well satisfied with the

ton that the shot, if fred from the lower
