For License.
This ticket, from what can be
learned was made up by few, the
principal object being to defeat DR..
Gould and Mr.. Messer and carry
license Of course this is probably a
privilege every one has but it
begets dissention which will not
soon be forgotten as it should be
and as result good government and
progressiveness in the town is
hampered and. retarded. To build up
should be our one great aim, and
should one or few persons ideas or
sentiments not coincide with the
majority or the officers, the minor
ity should accept the inevitable
and to do so agreeably will tend
to promote the welfare of any
prlncipality.
It is hoped that after the results
of election are determined, be they
what they may, that all will lay aside
their difference of opinion OF either
individual or personal character
and aid the officers elected in en-
forcing the law. Should the officers
put into effect practices that do
not coincide with public or individ-
ual opinion, show them their mis-
take by assisting them in the en-
forcement of their edicts. If they
have put into effect impracticable
laws or practices detrimental to the
best interest of the village and
citizens it will be more quickly dis
covered and other action taken, by
giving undivided support. Nothing
will prove the death of any practice
so quick as to put it into full effect
and show the weakness. Whoever
is elected assist them in their work
with good counsel. The officers
elected do not represent a party SO
much as they do the people, and
when elected they represent all the
people over whom they have been
elected to preside.

Rev. Thos. Hambly; This meeting
indicates success for no license. I
notice many men who are not voting
which indicates honesty, they con-
slider it would not be honorable to
vote in this caucus but would if in
one of their own, they are men of
conscience and we should all put
conscience in our ballot. Don't be-
lleve can find four men who will
put up better record than those
named tonight. There has been
more glaring exhibitions. of drunken
ness during the past year in this
town than any town Of it's size, I
ever saw. After complaint was
made the council issued ukase Il
month or two ago that it must be
stopped. Law can't be enforced

a council that will shut up the
saloons tighter than hell and keep
them closed. This council will 60

are better any day than saloons.

"Seeinu Snakes"

Persons suffering from delirium ire
mems usually imagine that they are
surrounded by snakes. An explanation
of this hallucination, says the Family
Doctor, is offered by the result of
some recent experiments. Sixteen
alcoholic patients were examined
with the ophthalmascope, and it was
found that the minute blood vessels in
the retina OF their eyes were congest-
ed. In this condition they appear
black, and are projected into the field
of vision, where their movements re
semble the squirming Of serpents.
