The capacity of the Congregational
church is being tested recently by
listeners to the excellent sermons and
lectures delivered by Rev. Fred Staff,
pastor of that church. The people
without regard to their church affili.
alton attend his lectures and receive
profit thereby. 1t is the universal
opinion that his sermons and lectures
are full of meat and are excellently de-
livered in manner up to the times.
Every one should be sure and attend
his lecture to be given at the opera
house Wednesday evening.

The editor OF a country paper re-
ceived the query: "Can you tell me
what the weather will be next month";"
In reply he wrote: sit is my belief
that the weather next month will be
very much like your subscription. "
The inquirer wondered for an hour
what the editor was driving at, when
he happened to think of the word
unsettled" He went in next day
and squared his account.

| War has its temperance lessons AS

and endurance during the present
campaign have been remarkable, and
now comes the intelligence that open
indulgence III drink BY the Russians
has assumed appalling dimensions, and
Gen. Kuropatkin has issued stringent
orders prohibiting the sale of liquors.
This Is very significant. It shows
that the general has read history to-

D. ID Thompson, editor Of the
Christian Advocate,
gives the true explanation Of the death
Eof Gen. Custer III the battle bit Little
Big Horn River III 1876. He says that
Major Reno was not a coward ais many
believe. His career III the army and
his promotion for gallant and merf-
torious services preclude that idea.
But Major Reno himself told the late
Rev. DR.. Arthur Edwards, then editor
|of the Northwestern Christian Advo-
cate, that his strange actions were
due to the fact that he was drunk
Drink ultimately caused his downfall

every officer ia the army and navy
should be required To be d total alb
stainer TO insure this every West

required to take a total abstinence
pledge. Such requirement would
mot be a violation of personal liberty
but q measure Of protection to the

4 He Who'll 3 STORY.

We take great pleasure iii inserting
the following from the pen Of Rev.
John Russell, the father of the Pro-
hibition party" and its first candidate
for vice president Of the United States
Hill 1872:
Dear Editor: Your kindly mention, Iii a
recent number of Backbone, Of the little
|argumentative incident relating To my
[self moves me to furnish Your req ers the
story as it was.
Some years ago, iii campaign debate
with two legal gentlemen one Demo
lcrat and the other d Republican,, A speak
ing against them both on the wisdom or
unwisdom OF organizing the Prohibition
lparty, my Republican opponent with a
very triumphant air. propounded the
question to me thus: ny not pursue
The same course which the liquor men 40?
They do not organize a new party but are
working successfully within the lines az
the old parties. MY reply was, True,
the liquor men do not form a separate
lone g fs nh hs a fao st sas
parties bidding foF their votes and will
| ingly doing their work. To form new
party In such q case would be q work Of
ISuperer0gatiOn.
Moreover. the serious work of organ
lizing d successful political party iii this
country involves the presentation OF an
issue Of sufficient gravity to Justify so
cannot DO, while Prohibitionists can.
Again, you urge us to follow the ex-
ample OF LIQUOR dealers by seeking the ac-
accomplishment Of our purpose within the
/ lines of the old pro- liquor parties. Cur
purpose III the complete outIawry and de-
| struction Of the alcoholic drink traffic.
Theirs Is the legalization and perpetua-
ton of that traffic Now If you gentle
men can show us how two objects IS dia-
netrically opposed to each other can be
successfully and haTmoniously accom-
plished within the old parties, perhaps we
lProhibitionists may vet conclude To re-
main with your
| My opponents both failed to make any
noticed, however, that the Anti Saloon
| League people are working on that line
iyet. 1t may be interesting to see how
] they come out. John Russell.

Correct Now, that saloonkeeper
is an intelligent man. He votes so
as to protect his business first, last
and all the time. He believes in

for it. He is q Republica votes the

you tell me just the difference between
your vote and that rum-seller's after

You can't crawl through that hole.
You are responsible for the fact that
you are voting the same ticket as
that saloonkeeper, when you know
that the success Of your ticket means,
absolutely certainly, the continuation
of his internal traffic.
You speak pretty plainly.
Yes, sir, mean to-; for 1t IS high
time for some one to speak plainly
to your class of men, who preach

drunkard, but who vote with the sa-
locnkeeper for political party which
4 y0u know to- be for license. No man
is better politically than his ballot.
No amount OF talk, Of preaching, Of
protestation will discount your bal
u lot. III the eyes Of the government,
in the eyes of man and before God
you are no better q Prohibitionist than
the saloonkeeper across the way"
Now, look here, my brother: let
us not quarrel over this. We are both
not agree as to method.
in talking as 40 am not Id the
least angry. am simply telling you
tle cold truth. which YOU cannot deny.
You talk about method. How soon
do you expect to secure prohibition
by voting the same ticket as the sa-
loonkeeper? Your method has been
iii practice for 100 years, and the Sal
loon, consumption Of liquor, crime and
pauperism have increased three times
faster than the population. Either
quit voting for license, or stop repeat
ing the false statement that you be
Iieve iii prohibition.
Well, upon my word, that Is the
plainest talk ever heard \
All right. But tell me this, IS Il
the truth?
The preacher paused moment,

A WONDERFUL INVENTION

1t is interesting to note that fortunes
are frequently made by the invention Of
articles Of minor importance. Many Of
the most popular devices are those de-
signed to benefit the people and meet
popular conditions, and one Of the most
interesting Of these that has ever been
invented is the DR.. White Electric Comb
patented Jan. l. 80. These wonderful
Combs positively cure dandruff, hair
falling out, sick and nervous headaches.
and when used with DR.. Whites Elec
trio Hair Brush are positively guaran-
teed to make straight hair curly in 25
days time. Thousands Of these electric
combs have been sold in various cities of
the Union, and the demand is conse-
quently increasing. Our agents are rap
idly becoming rich selling these combs.
They positively sell Oh sight. Send for
