The Lecture Course.

The numbers of the Barton lecture
course for this winter are as follows ::
November 80, The College Girls and
Walter Eccles. There are eight young
ladies who represent the college girls
and their program comprises a great
OF the strongest numbers written for
Women's voices, both sacred and oper-
attic. There will be college songs too,
sung with that spirit and action pc
culiar to college girls. They sing sew
eral songs characteristic of the differ
ent countries in appropriate costume.
1t is live concert and selected num-
Der Of singers. Mr.. Eccles is a popu-
lar reader and humorist and his musi-
cal sketches and humorous songs form
an important part of the concert.
On December Thomas Brooks
Fletcher will give one of his popular
lectures. Mr.. Fletcher is young
man who has had phenomenal success
on the stage because of his personal
ity. He has something to say, has an
original way Of saying it, and is in
tensely earnest. He never fails to
hold the attention of his audience with
his dramatic and humorous sketches
and natural oratory.
! George Wood Anderson though
young man has gained the reputation
of preaching regularly to the largest
audiences in the state of Ohio, and on
the stage has won place of distinc-
tion. He is the popular man who lee
tured at Barton Landing last year on
"Bald Heads, Outside and In,'' and
won such universal applause that the
course will have him again this year.
He appears here January IL.
On January 26 DR.. Milton Butler
Pratt will lecture before Barton au-
dience. DR.. Pratt is an older man
with the wisdom and ripened judgment
of a natural scholar, and an orator
besides. Possibly the best recommen-
dation possible to give DIR. Pratt is
that in his own city. having spoken
hundreds of times before, he recently
spoke to an audience that netted $1205.
The famous Weber male quartette of
Boston, often called to this part of
Vermont for state occasions, will ap-
pear in Seaver's hall February s.
Their repeated success for 35 years
makes their appearance here an as
sured success.
Probably the most fascinating enter
tainment of the course will be the en-
tertainment by Laurant, the greatest
living magician since the death of
Marc, on the evening of February 20.
Laurant is no common magician. He
performs the most startling and Won
derful feats before your face and eyes
upon the stage. One part of his pro-
gram consists of some of the great
Hindu magic of the Orient, and the
great casket mystery.
No better course has been given in
many years and the auction sale of
seats will probably be held on Tuesday,
evening, Nov. "a. Plan to get your
seat then.

not however change the intention of
the Bell company, who, as the Monitor
understands, raised their rates on
November in those places. Many of
those on the petition ordered their
phone out, while some kept them in,
but the result is that many instru-

NEWLIN IN PENNSYLVANIA
Hoosier Orator in Keystone State Rallies

ERIE, PA, April 12-(Special correspondence
With three great meetings here today, Charles
E. Newlin of indianapolis, closed series of re-
nlarkable meetings in northeastern Pennsylvania.
On Thursday night Mr.. Newlin spoke to
crowded house in the Baptist church at New
Castle under the auspices of the county w. c.
T. U. The pastor of the church pronounced it
a "most mastery address, full of unanswerable
logic and free from extremes exaggeratlon.
On Friday night Mr.. Newlin gave his "Uncon-
stitutionality of Legalizing Wrong" to most in
teresting audience in the First Methodist Epis-
copal church at Cory and on Saturday night
spoke in the Baptist church at Union City to
an audience that filled the auditorium and for an
hour and half listened intently and so
pleased it'll the management paid Mr.. New
lin more than twice the sum they had agreed to
pay, which will add materially to the fund for
testing the consttutionality of saloon license.
This morning Mr. Newlin gave his sermon,
"The Death of Stephen" in the Tenth Street
Methodist Episcopal church, to audience that
came near breaking the church rules by cheering
This afternoon at 80 Mr.. New1in lectured to
the 'Men's Big Meeting" in Y. NJ C. A. hall
Additional chairs had to be brought in to
commodate the crowd and they insisted on the
speaker continuing half hour beyond the usual
hour.
The third meeting for the day was great
union service in the Tenth Street Baptist church.

WASSON'S HARVEST
Riverhead, New York, Furnishes Splendid
Testimonial for Episcopal Rectors
Work

RvERHEAD N. Y, April 1-(Special corre-~
spondence)-This is the town which the Rev. Mr..
WATSON, of brewers convention fame helped to
carry for license and the results of the licensed
saloon ought to give pride to Mr.. Wasson's pious
heart and ought to be reported far and wide, that
his supporters may rejoice with him.
Recently a colored man, named William Bess,
went home intoxicated and during an animated
discussion with his wife threw soup plate at
her. His aim was poor and the plate hit his
nineeen-months old baby girl in the face with
such force as to break the dsh and it is believed,
to destroy the sight of her eyes forever
This little blind girl will be splendid testi
monial to the virtues of the Rev. Mr.. WATSON.

ing their towns go wet. The blessing OF God did
rot seem to rest upon them.
Thousands of men have gotten into this hight
and have seen that the rational thing to do is TO
continue voting against the liquor traffic and
many Of them have declared that they have moth
ing else to do except to vote the Prohibition
ticket this fall
1t is amazing yet gratifying, to see how the
Prohibition Chautauqua towns went. Practically
all of them went dry by big majorities. The
splendid work of the Chautauquas is surely seen
in the returns The seed in tent meetings
brought large returns to the cities that invested
III Chautauqua. The only towns having Chat
tauquas last year that failed to vote out their
saloons we're: Wyoming, Freeport Momence,
Peotone, Waukegan Elgin and Woodstock. The
other 90 Chautauqua towns rolled up splendid
majorties for Prohibition The only town in
Cook county to go dry La Grange, Chau-
tauqua town. Two of these towns will vote again
April 81 as cities and hope to win at that time.
Many other towns that did not have Chautauquas

Our citys income is away ahead of what had

rich in optimism, in progress and in ambition;

for the protection of its people, more especially
that portion that looks most for protection.

although l. d. Barth of Fairfield, secretary OF
the WAYNE county Prohibition committee was
brutally assaulted by a saloonkeeper at Mill
Shoals and nearly killed. Mr.. Barth went down

bv big majority on account of the unwarranted
attack. Mr.. Barth has sued the saloonkeeper tor
$4,000 damages.
The question voted upon by townships was
"Shall this become anti saoon territory? In
this way many saloons were put out OF cities ana
villages by the farmer vote. The people are now
demanding at once county option to clean out
their counties, cities and other saloon towns Dut
they desire more than state Prohibition IN
order to clean up Chicago.
The total net dry majority for Prohibition in
the state is about 100000 with many dry town
ships not voting With the full vote the state
would give tremendous majority for Prohlbl-
ton, while Cook county could not give wet
majority of more than $4,000, which could De
overcome by the vote down the state. A major
that is the issue Of the campaign this year. An
other issue is that of the enforcement OF law
to put down the rebellion and anarchy in the
CITY of Chicago. The liquor OF Chicago are
CRYING for personal liberty" which in their case
means anarchy, and demanding that the
Sunday closing law and local option law be re-
pealed The vote now is for the control OF the
legislature and Prohibitionsts in every district
will put up a big fight to elect their man. The
endorsing of personal liberty by the Republican
state convention in its platform has driven
thousands of Republicans into the Prohibition
rarty within the last two three weeks.
The liquor men have less than 5000 square
miles of license territory in Illinois, and this
means that $4,000 square miles of Illinois are
under Prohibition. The ma jority of the people,
more than 100000, are living in Prohibition ter
ritory and this is very strong argument Tor

in the annual receipts of saloons will be more
than S12 900 0OO which will be saving to the
working men and which will go into the legiti-
mate channels of trade and ought to give business
boom in hundreds of towns. This money, here
tofore spent for liquor will now go for dry
goods clothing and groceries and in many homes
there will be great rejoicing because they now

drunkards wives who have been praying for help

Prohibitionists throughout Illinois could learn
lesson from their co-laborers in Pennsylvania
and New York where hundreds of Prohibition
lists are elected in the local election each spring.
This is a weakness rather than virtue. Where
tickets were nominated it was helpful in the local
elections and county conventions held where cam
paigns were on gave the cause great impetus.
At Upper Alton, H. c. Lanterman elected
justice of the peace, beating the Republican and
Democratic candidates He did not make cam
paign and did not even have a card printed In
spite of this he was elected If others had made
campaigns in their towns and counties there
would have been more victorious candidates. In
Shoal Creek township, Bond county, Prohibition
candidates polled more than 100 votes, with DEM
ocrats and Republicans in the field. This was
without campaign, and is four times the usual
vote in that township. E. M. Metcalf was elected
assessor in Warren township, Lake county, and
Fred S. Carley police magistrate in Mt. Carroll.
A number of other towns that ran Prohibition
tickets have not sent in returns.

DAYTON GAS WELL TAKES
ON A GREATER PRESSURE

Word was received from Dayton
this morning that the gas well of the
Dayton Gas & Oil Company has been
growing stronger day by day, during
the past fortnight and that when tes-
ted last night it showed a pressure
of 135 pounds to the square inch.
This is thirty pounds stronger than
the well has ever tested before, al
though it was estimated that it would
go that high. 1t now seems that the
estimates were correct. The increase
is said to be continuing. Activity in
the gas field GUN Dayton is increas
fng. More men are coming in every
day to see the well and ook over the
surroundings and the preparations
for more prospect wells are nearing
completion.

REMAINS OF JUDGE
LELAND TAKEN AWAY.


The body of the late Judge Howard
Leland, register of the Government
land Office in Roswell, were shipped
this morning to his old home in Leav-
enworth, Kan, accompanied By his
daughter, Mrs. B. D. w. Payton, of
this city, and his brother, Cyrus Lei
and, jr., Of Topeka and Troy, Kan,
the latter having arrived last night.
The funeral service was held at six
O'Clock this morning at the Payton
home on North Kentucky avenue, be-
ing private and conducted by Elder
C. c. Hill.
Judge Leland's death is felt in the
land Office, where he was recognized
as one OF the best officials in the de-
partment. A telegram from the de-
partment at Washington advises the
local office that no business will be
transacted in which the joint work of
register and receiver is required I'M
til Judge Leland's place can be sup
piled. This means that no papers may
go on record for the time being. All
entries and other papers may be fl
ed, but they will not be placed on rec
ord The department wires, further,
that the land office will probably be
closed during the hour of Judge Lei
and's funeral, through respect to his
memory. Further orders will come
covering this matter.
