A RUINED TOWN.

We have heard many times that
prohibition would ruin the business
OF any town that tried it. Why it
should be 80 we cannot tell. If less
money were spent in saloons there
would be more to go into the legiti-
mate channels of trade. We have an
object lesson in Santa Monica, Cali. !,
which voted to close the saloons, and
rs a consequence they have had more
and better class of summer visitors;
the merchants report their trade
nearly doubled, and the bank deposits
for the three summer months were
S46, 900 more than for the correspond
ing months for the year before with
open saloons.

MILDRED ANDREWS. Cor. Sec.

Some day we say and turn our eyes s1Gs
Toward the fair hills of Paradise.
Some day, some time. sweet new rest
shall blossom fiower-lfke in each breast;
Some time, some day. our eyes shall see
The faces kept in memory.
Some day their hands shall clasp our hands,
Just over in the morning lands.
Some day our ears shall hear the song
OF triumph over sin and wrong:
Some day. come time ont. oh. not yet!
But we shall wait and not forget
That some day all these things shall be,
And rest be given to You and me.
So wait, my friends. tho years. move slow.
The happy time will come we know.
Don't forget the w. C. T. U. meet
ing this afternoon at Mrs. A. S.
Beck's.
Come out and hear the prohibition
speaking on the evening of Septem-
Der 23rd.
Sulley county, South Dakota, has
no saloons and no debts, but instead
has surplus of 5000 in the treas
ury.
''The Home Defender" says that if
money talks we are six times as proud
of our saloons az of our schools, and
eight times as proud of our efforts to
damn men with drink as we are of our
attempts to save them with the gospel.

We again suggest the propriety of
finding name for each schoolhouse
in the county that is not already so
designated. A number means little to
the average person and savors of the
convict system. Many persons do not
know the number of their own dis
trict, while an appropriate name
always sticks and the schoolhouse
becomes known far aud wide. Let the
teachers take this matter up with the
pupils and send name to the super
intendent in time to have it printed
upon the annual list. AS rule, it Is
we'll to avoid calling q scho olhouse
by the name OF nearby family, as
families come and go while the school
house remains.

The war department Wednesday re-

son were killed by falling walls, the
victims all being Moros. The Amer

Cured, presumably. about five days
ago. in the country adjacent to the
lake Of Lanao. in the Moro section
of the island. near Camp Vickers,
which is now the headquarters of the
American forces stationed in Minda-
la General Chaffee says the noun
tains and rivers were considerably dis
turbed and much damage done. This
is the first serious earthquake reported
from that country during American &C.
cupation of the Philippines. The most
important previous was In 1872 in Min
danao. closely following the eruption
of the volcano OF Makaturin.
General Chaffee also cabled that the
military situation In that section re-

Explanation Of Little VaIue.A

An editor on a daily paper has laid
himself open to unkind remarks by
trying to take up a collection in his
Office. Happening to want a small
coin, he turned to a fellow-worker and
asked for a quarter.
Haven't got 1t, but here's a dollar"
the man replied, as he tossed it over.
The editor put the dollar in his pocket
and Immediately turned to a special
writer at the next desk and said:
Miss -, could you lend me a
quarter" Then. seeing the man from
whom he had got the dollar grin, he
added, hastily: "Oh, mind; ]
just got a dollar from Brown"
In analyzing his conduct he said
that Browns reply that he did not
have a quarter was apparently the
only part of the transaction that made
any impression upon him. But he is
under suspicion in that office, and will
probably be able TO live it down.

Chinese Not Allowed to Land Pending
Treasury Decision
A San Francisco. Cal. August 81,
dispatch says: The $50 Chinese in
tended for the crew Of the Pacific mail
steamer Korea arrived here on the
steamer Gaelic.
Collector of Customs Stratton has
again notified the steamship company
that the Chinese must be detained on
the Gaelic and not even allowed to go
into the detention shed. pending a
final decision in the case by the secre-
tary Of the treasury and the commits
sioner general of immigration.
The sailors union of the Pacific has
entered a strong protest against the
transfer of these Chinese &c the Korea.
The union contends that Chinese ran
not be transferred to the Korea with
out bringing them ashore to be signed
before the United States shipping
commission, and that the act of bring
ing them ashore would constitute a
violation Of the Chinese exclusion act.

ing a rabbit, he jabbed the horse with
his heels, and the animal promptly
sQuatted. When the deacon inquired
the cause, the trader explained that
the horse had the faculties of a set

A rise of cartridges brought forth
another manifestation, through the
traders heels; and then the deacon
insisted on trading his own horse and
$50 for the sporting equine. On the
way home, the deacon rode his NV
purchase. Fording a stream, he
raised his feet to keep them dry and
accidently jabbed the horse in the
ribs. whereupon the animal sat down
in the water. wetting the rider from
feet to chest.

the deacon. "He cant see no birds

A Victoria. y. c.. August IS. dispatch
says: The epidemic of cholera is
reaching alarming proportions on the
other side Of the Pacific. the outbreak
extending further and having more
victims than ever before reported.
II extends from the island of Java
to Japan, and almost every city on the
coast and many from the interior are
affected. The disease, too, is being
contracted by Europeans as well as
natives. In Hong Kong. from the first
of the outbreak to August 6. there had
been 525 cases, six of the patients be-
ing Europeans, and 81 deaths, of
whom four were Europeans.
In Tien Tsin. the last report placed

walls, and 1,O15 cases and 593 deaths
outside the city walls. In other places
In China the proportion of cases and
deaths is just as great.

In Java. A writer from Kuelin Kwansi
