Y. NJ. O. A. NOTES.

The men of Bloomsbury will
have the rare privilege of hearing
Bishop Stanford, of Chicago, next
Sunday at the Mems Meeting.
The Bishop is one of the strongest
pulpit orators of our day. He
should be greeted with large
audience. Let us crowd the build.
ing to its utmost capacity.
The evening school for young
men is growing in attendance each
week. Glasses in arithmetic, spell
ling, reading, shorthand, book
keeping, mechanical drawing and
renmanship are running success
fully. Friday evening the class in
freehand drawing will begin. Mrs.
Crosswell of the Normal will give
the instruction in this study. The
teachers are all specialists in the
particular branch they give instruc-
ton. Mr.. Meigs gives the instruc-
ton in mechanical drawing, Mr..
Shultz, graduate of Bath Phono-
graphic Institute, shorthand, A.
Bruce Black, the we'll known PEN
man instructs in penmanship, J.
Warren Lee, book-keeper in Farm
er's National Bank teaches book
keeping and Mrs. Crosswell art
teacher at the Normal School has
charge of the class in drawing.
Mr.. Albert teaches mathematics
and E. E. Caldwell has charge of
the common branches. Glasses in
latin or greek, trigonometry and
geometry will be instructed by w.
w. Evans of the High School as
soon as a class of six apply. 1t is
hoped enough young men will avail
themselves of the opportunity offer
ed them of receiving instruction in
these higher studies.

Notice to Liquor Sellers.
On January 2oth Judge Little flet

On January aoth Judge Little filed
the following:
sBefore licenses are granted the
present session, we have request to
make of all licensees to vend intoxi-
eating liquors, and that is, that they
abstain from selling or furnishing,
either directly or indirectly, to persons
who have become so addicted to the
use of intoxicants that it has become
a disease with them, and who have
tried to extricate themselves from the
power of the disease by taking what
is called the Keeley Cure. There
should be no sales of intoxicating
liquors to any such. II will be re-
garded hereafter as good reason, upon
petition presented to this Court, for
rule to issue to show cause why the
license of the person so selling or
furnishing should not be revoked.
When licensee has received notice
from the wife or child, or any person
authorized under the Act of Assembly
to give notice, not to sell to husband
or father or member of the family any
Intoxicating drink, and such notice
afterward is followed up by another
notice Withdrawing the prohibition of
the former notice, the second notice
should have no effect whatever upon
you. The first notice is the notice to
be obeyed, and the Court will not re-
gard the second notice as OF any
validity, or as giving you any authori-
zation whatever to sell to such person
concerning whom the notice has been
given"

The "swelledhead" is a popular
way of expressing a common and
very frequent ailment. There are
victims of it in every locality,
Bloomsbury not excepted. 1t arises
from different sources, but the real
foundation is a lack of sense.
Money, a very little of it developes
it in some people, few good clothes
give it to others. little Office, if
there is any authority connected
with it at all, produces the ailment
while others get it by having bet
ter job than his associates. The
truth is, no sensible person ever
gets the "swelled head" and the
person who imagines that he is the
whole show from success Of any
kind is weak in the intellectual
calibre.

WHEELS FLY TRACK
Accident Occurs to Train No. I
On Omaha Road.
Very Narrow Escape From Serious
Wreck---Gov. Van SAINT Could
Not Reach ST. Peter.

Passenger train No. Z, on the Omaha
road, due at Mankato at..7 go p. M,
was wrecked last evening at 6 10
O'Clock two miles this side of Hamilton
1t was a peculiar and at the same
time most lucky wreck. The front
wheels of the tender few the track
and for some distance they run along
on the ties. The cause of the wheels
making their sudden flop could not be
determined by the railroad men. 1t
is fortunate that the accidentswas no
worse as at the point where 1t hap
pened there is a fifteen foot embank-
ment and had the coaches been thrown
down this grade q number of lives
would certainly have been lost and
many people injured as the train was,
as is usually the case, crowded with
passengers.
After the accident happened the
conductor walked back to Hamilton
and notified the proper officials of the
road. It was thought that an ordi
nary engine could right things, so a
locomotive was sent out from Paul.
This enigne attempted to pull the
trucks back on to the track and in so
doing the rear trucks of the tender
were thrown off. This placed. the
train in worse predicament than it
was before and wrecking outfit was
found to be necessary. About three
hours time was lost before the wreck
ing train arrived on the scene. Once
on the groundsg it did not take very
long to straighten things out. Mean
while the passengers had provided
themselves with supper at a nearby no.
tel and took the delay good naturally.
The train reached Mankato at about
2:t5 O'Clock this morning.
Governor Van SAINT was on board
the delayed train. He was to have
spoken at st. Peter last night.
Three trains were in bunch at the
wreck, the one due here at 10 80 and
No. 1, the limited, due at II 80, hav-
ing been stalled there.
