Grand Opening.

&The millinery opening of the East
Side Millinery Emporium, Friday and
Saturday, eclipsed all previous efforts
OF this popular house in catering to
the patronage OF its many customers.
The store was beautifully decorated
with flowers and ribbons, and hun
dreds of handsome hats, which Mrs.
Boles and her able corps of assistants
had so temptingly displayed. The
crush during both days was great,
but so well had the arrangements
been made that all were waited on.
Everything had been selected with
care and as proof OF that the rapid
selections made by the customers
attested. The face or the purse that
cannot be suited here has not put in
appearance. The trade was so large,
much greater than expected, that a
duplicate order had to be made,
and the new goods will be here by
Thursday Of this week ready for your
inspection and purchase, fully up to
the stock at opening and at prices
that cannot be duplicated elsewhere.
Mrs. Boles returns her thanks to
her multitude OF patrons for their
liberal purchases, and invites all in
need of up-to-date millinery to call
and see her new stock.

REV. L, c, MCyoY.

Pastor Troost Ave. NJ. T.. Church, South.
You ask me for my opinion Of the
significance of the sentiment that nov
prevails in Missouri and elsewhere, in
favor Of local option. Beyond question,
this is the livest issue now before the
American people. THAT the sentiment
for prohibition has assumed such proper,
tions, doubtless has been somewhat Of a
surprise to the promoters of the liquor
traffic, and it has also been a surprise to
some who have long been fighting thi.
great enemy Of the nation, As | see |,
several things have conspired to bring
about the present situation.
perhaps the most important factor
has been the Anti Saloon League.
"Theie have been many temperance
organizations in this country but most oil
them have failed because they have tack,
ed on other issues that were both unpop-
ular and unwise.

New Divorce Ruling.

Judge Martin, OF this city, who is
presiding over the circuit court at
Moberly, is drawing a tight rein on
those who ask for divorce. Until
now the plaintiff, when desertion was
charged, bad only to prove that the
defendant left home and did not re-
turn.
Under Judge Martins ruling, de-
sertion canno be claimed if the plain
tiff did not try to prevent the defend
ant from leaving and has not invited
defendant to ~return.-Missouri Demo-

through state or local option laws.

There seems to be a regular tidal wave.
in this direction. The reason Of it
seems to be that men everywhere are
rapidly becoming convinced that prohi.
bition is a good business proposition.
One statue urges the prohibition Of in.
t~oIicants on the ground that the negroes
are less dangerous and better laborers II
whiskey is kept out Of their reach.
Another argues that its citizenship is ele-
waited; the men provided better for their
families, pay their debts better, buy
more goods and deposit mort money in
the banks.
Added to these arguments are the
moral and religious sides Of the question
and the whole has become invincible. If
the present progress is maintained, three
or four years will see every state in
the Union In the Prohibition column
Missouri Democrat.

w VI INV hhS j
I'm reply to your request of an ex-
preston of opinion as to the significance
OF the growing sentiment for local option
and prohibition in Missouri, / beg to
say, that, in my judgement, it means
the certain and speedy expulsion of the
legalized liquor traffic from our state.
The wanton and lawless conduct Of
the men who make and sell strong
drink has at last become intolerable to
the decent citizens of our common
wealth. The efforts to evsde, override
and ignore the laws Of our state, and
the ordinances Of u cities, and the
constant ou'pour from their business Of
an increasing tide of vice aud crime,
have at last exceeded the limits of ,oler-
alton, even of a people too slow, often to
revoke the evildoer and assert the dig.
nifty of law. The brewers, distillfrs and
sellers OF liquor in Missouri may as well
read the handwriting on the wall. God
is not Knocked forever, and the walls Of
the widows and orphans, made such by
their infamous traffic, and the equally
bitter tears Of those whose lives are i'm.
Filtered by drunken husbands and faith
ers, are now to be avenged upon these
vampires of human society.
After this frank expression OF my
opinion, need not say. in answer to
vot,r second oua, th.t 7 h.y.... A..
