large galleries being constructed and
convenient cloak rooms being arranged.
Although the hall has not yet been com
pletcd, it was made ready for last nights
dance by the construction of IL tempo
rary stage and proved an ideal place for
ball. A force of decorators had been
at work for few days, with the result
tnat there were numerous Japanese
lanterns and flags and a quantity of bunt-
ing artistically arranged about the hall.
The Howard Opera House orchestra
of IL pieces opened the entertainment by

$50, 1851 under the proposed now State
school and highway taxes. This would
be more than equivalent to 20 per cent
additional tax on the people.
The people thus plundered come close
to being a majority of the whole, 16o-
1879 in all. Does anybody suppose they
arc going to submit when 1t is left to
them to say yes or MOI They can't
help themselves with regard to the high
way and school taxes, and that fact will
make them all the more determined to
stor this pratical toll.
And they ought to. Prohibition Is de-
moralizing and debasing and rotting to
civic virtue But highway robbery for
INFLATED into law as this would be, Is
worse.
The friends OF the bill will be very fool
ish. If for the sake of victory now they
Invoke sure defeat later by permitting
this monstrosity in this bill. The excep-
tional circumstances of the year have
probably given them power with their
large majority to prevent it IL they stand
determinedly. If the final alternative APP
pears to be prohibition or robbery, let the
Drohibtionists take the responsibility,
and the reckoning that is sure to follow
before the people.

THE THANKSGIVING DINNER
Almost Everything Which Goes +
Make 1t Complete Is High in Price.


Make 1t Complete Is High in Price.
The family that enjoys genuine
Thanksgiving dinner this year will have
to pay a good round price for it. Tur
keys the foundation of all Thanksgiving
feasts, are soaring high and the dealers
declare the bird is a scarce article, com
paratively speaking. Whether this is due
to the rainy summer or the cool October
is not stated Certain it is that a prime
article costs from % to % cents and the
tailers told Free Press man yesterday
that after filling the orders of their
local customers the balance of their sup
ply would be sent by express last night
to Boston. where they would receive q
cents per pound. Cranberries, which are
considered a necessary adjunct to the
turkey at the Thanksgiving dinner, are.
for some reason, high in price, retailing
at from Il to 10 cents per quart. The
same is true of most vegetables, par
ticularly native potatoes, while sweet po-
tatoes are this year poor in quality
as others are high in price. One feature
of the Thanksgiving dinner on many
tables is cheap and can be had in abund-
ance, and that is cider. The mills in this
part of the State are overworked in an
effort to grind up the thousands of
bushels of apples which the trees bore
this year and which, because of their
poor quality are good for little else.
