An Interesting Lecture.

Willn1ar people were no doubt some-
what disappointed at not being able
to hear Mrs. Ada Unruh's lecture on
"Cranks. The lady was taken i'll at
Campbell and was obliged to cancel
her engagements, However, the W.
G. T. U. was very fortunate in secur-
ing another speaker to take her place
in the person of W. G.. Calderwood of
Minneapolis, secretary of the state
prohibition committee.
The opera house was we'll filled by
our citizens who had come out to hear
good lecture, and their expectations
were fully realized by the substitute.
The speaker handled the liquor ques-
ton in a manner which could not fail
to interest his hearers, and illustrated
his sound logic by some very good
comparisons. Mr.. Calderwood's re-
marks in opposition to the liquor traf-
ic were all based on government au-
thority, and he was prepared to back
up his statements with government re-
ports which he had on hand.
During the evening musical pro-
gram was furnished, consisting Of
singing by mixed choir, vocal solos
by Misses Zena Thompson and Flor
ence r. Porter, piano solo by Miss
Grace Andrus and a piano duet by
Misses Roberts and Andrus.
The meeting was presided over by.
the president of the W. C. T. u, Mrs.
E. G. Young, and Rev. G. H. John
son of the Presbyterian church off,
ciated with prayer. The ladies of the
Union are to be congratulated on their
efforts in making the affair so sue
cessful. All who attended we're wellre-
paid for coming out.
