"A battalion of United States field
artillery passed through here Tuesday
forenoon on their way from Fort Sheri-
dan to Camp Douglas. The men, horses.
guns and baggage train all looked ready
for active service, should occasion de-

apparently lighter, but the caissons

old pattern.
Carrie Nation appeared in Turner
Hall last Friday evening before a small
audience. There was nothing particu-
larry remarkable about her except the
fact that she seems to be coming money
out OF the cheap notoriety her saloon
smashing procliyities at her Kansas

temperance can gain nothing by either
her addresses or her appearance. The
growth of temperance and of temper

banking houses, department stores an(
corporations generally are making it
condition precedent to permanent EN-
ployment that applicants should not bt
drinking men. Even brewers, distillers
and saloon keepers themselves prefer
non-drinking agents or employees. Soci
