and 10.
The national government, under the
direction of Secretary of Agriculture

TEMPERANCE WORK
CAUSES DRUNKENNESS
Prohibitionist Bacon Declares Reform
Must Come Only Through Prohib-
itlng Manufacture of Liquor.

Temperance work is one of the causes
of drunkenness. BY their recognition of
the liquor traffic, in advocating the mod
crate use of stimulants, many people who
think they are doing much for the cause
of humanity are yearly the cause of the
downfall of hundreds of young men and
women"
So said Martin Bacon last night at a
meeting Of the Ninth Ward Prohibition
club, held at the residence of Mrs. Bertha
Hayden, No. 81 Valley street.
''Fo. settle the liquor. question, the
manufacture and sale of intoxicants must
be absolutely prohibited. There can be
no compromise" continued Mr.. Bacon.
1.-The question is one of right and wrong.
If it is wrong to use intoxicants to eX-
cess, it is equally wrong to countenance
their use at all.
It have no no patience with so-called
temperance societies, where the moderate
use of liquors is advocated Such or
CARNATIONS are more hurtful than If they
never existed. With us 1t is a case of abb
solute prohibition"
About fifty members of the club at
tended the meeting. J. T. Hanson gave
a violin solo, and the Aeolian quartette
sang several songs.

MISSISSIPPI CLAM
YIELDS HANDSOME PEARL
St. Paul Man Buys a Magnificent Gem
Found in Bivalve Near Prairie
du Chen.

d tThere is a pearl weighing "a grains
clam which made it's home in the mud
Of the Mississippi" said w. H. Billiard,
holding up magnificent cleaning gem.
Mr.. Billiard returned to the city yes
terday afternoon from a trip to Prairie
du Chen and vicinity He has been Wis
iting the pearl fisheries along the river.
He was very successful, having secur-
ed a large amount of fine pearls and
''slugs," which are irregular shaped
pearls.
''The pearl fisheries extend up and
down the river above Prairie du Chen
about thirty miles, said Mr.. Billiard.
''The pearl and shell industry there is
becoming very important. There are
from 200 to 800 men engaged now in
gathering clam shells and making pearl
buttons. There is a great quantity of
pearl shells exported every week. This
week one man exported 800 tons of
shells to Germany, where they are used
in making pearl buttons.
sThere are representatives of New
York jewelers. constantly present at the
fisheries, and they bid on every pearl
that is found. This makes the price of
pearls very high. I secured, among
many others, the one weighing "a
grains, for which paid $1,000. Pearls
of fine quality have been found there
that have been sold in New York for
prices ranging from 500 up to $4,000.
1.-THE pearl and shell industry and
Mrs. Douseman's gold mine have given
an impetus to the life of Prairie du
Chen which makes 1t equal what it
was In the palmy days of the steam
boat traffic on the river.
There will be display at the state
fair Of pearls. jewelry made from
pearls and a representative collection
Of shells in which pearls are found"

sey street, from Seventh to Pleasant
avenue, with asphalt. The matter of
the paving of this street has been un-
der consideration by the board for sew
era1 months. but the controversy was
brought to an end yesterday when the
secretary was instructed to advertise
for bids to be opened on Tuesday,
Sept. 2.
Plans and specifications for the fol-
lowing streets were also approved and
the secretary instructed to advertise
for bids:

ond addition, from Beaumont to Min
nehaha streets.
Objects to the Assessment.
When the confirmation of the assess
ment for Paving Tenth street, Lafay-
cite avenue and Collins street came
up, Henry Schmaus, property owner
on Lafayette avenue, made a protest
against the confirmation ofathe assess
ment, which amounts to 81, 945, because
the street has been paved with brick
and he wanted it paved with sand
stone. Mr.. Schmaus was informed that
| inasmuch as the paving had already
been done, it was a good deal too late
in the matter for the board to consider
his wishes, and the assessment was
confirmed
The hearing of the grading of Haw-
| thorne avenue, from Edgerton to Ar
cade streets, also came up, and large
number of the property owners were
present in the interest of having it
| done.
On examination, however. the board
found that the petition did not con-
| tain the necessary number of names
and the hearing was adjourned to give
the property owners time to get the
necessary amount of names.
