The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-01-23

arguing, and, all things considered, it
is obvious that there is nothing Chi
merical about the Sunday closing
movement in Chicago, and nothing un-
practical or impracticable about the
state closing law. Both here and
in Washington the pro-liquor cam
paign seems to suffer from the lack Of
good common sense leadership.
The same paper, in another editorial
which is entitled "a Century of Tenn
perance Crusade" calls attention to the
historical facts which disprove the
charge that the Prohibition movement is
inspired by desire to oppose the for
is a survival of New England Puritan
ism. 1t says:
An organized movement against the
drinking of spirituous liquors was be-
gun just about one hundred years ago
in the state of New York. The time
is worth noting for two reasons. 1t
preceded all the eras of great immi
grafton, and it came long after the
days of the Puritans And this we
may say of the whole period down to
1850, during which various temperance
organizations were formed, including a
Congressional Temperance Society.
Neither the worship of early New
Englanders, who had liking for rum,
nor disposition to override the GUS
toms of foreigners, had anything to
do with these crusades. They are ex-
planned by personal experiences of the
evils of drink Religious organl-
cations became prominent in the anti
liquor campaigns, but they were never
of an exclusively religious nature.
The editorial then quotes one of Mrs.
Stanton's addresses in 1852 and says:
Note that this ran counter both to
laws and religious teachings. 1t had
to do with a condition that strong,
intelligent women felt was intolerable.
And it is the persistence of such con-
ditions that explains the persistence
and the growth of all temperance and
Prohibition movements. They might
as well be ascribed to the stars as to
the Puritans or to any wish to inter
fere with foreign customs. Deep down
in the heart of this question we ind
the same motives at work that eX-
plain the demand for and the enact
ment of laws against cocaine. And as
thousand or ten thousand persons
suffer from alcohol where one sui
fers from cocaine the numbers and in
tensity of the foes of liquor are easily
explained.

EASY TO CURE CATARRH.
just Breathe in Hyomei, the Dry
Air That Kills the Germs.

You can do exactly what G. j.
Sterers did by using Hyomei Read
this:
After having suffered from
chronic catarrh for years, for which
| tried various remedies without
success, | became almost discourage
ed. After reading about Hyomei I
decided to make one more effort to
rid myself OF the dread disease, and
to my great delight | found the use
of two bottles of the Inhalent suffi-
-cient to produce complete cure.
now take pleasure in recommending
this remedy to all sufferers from
catarrh. &c. j. Sterers, Crown City
Ohio.
We don't simply say Hyomei will
cure catarrh, but we say that Hood
4 Curtin, the drug eists, guarantees
it to cure catarrh, or money back.
They do more they guarantee 1t to
cure asthma, bronchitis, hay fever,
coughs and Gods. A complete Hyo-
mel outfit, inc,pding inhaler, costs
only 800, AMI extra bottles, If you
afterwards need enc, will cost but
! so cents. Hyome' is a pleasant dry
air treatment. You just breathe it
in, and as it passes over the inflam-
ed membrane, it hills the germs of
catarrh, and allays all inflammation.

HIppoporAMUs CAUSES PANIC.
Horses Drawing Circus Chariot Kill
ed After Wild Dash in Crowd
ed Street


Cleveland, O.. May 14.-Eight
horses, attached to big circus wa
gon with hippopotamus in it, be-
came frightened during parade
and ran away. They dashed down
Scranton Road Hill at a terrific
speed.
The driver could not check them
He threw on the brakes, but the
weight of the wagon was so great
that the brakes broke.
The crowd, panic-stricken, scat
tered as the great wagon, weighing
tons, careened back and forth across
the streets, threatening to upset
any moment.
The hippopotamus snorted loudly
in fright, adding to the confusion.
There were so many narrow escapes
from death, the wheels of the gilded
chariot narrowly missing several
persons in it's path.
Finally two front horses broke
loose from the wagon. The whiffle
trees snapped and the last two horses
! were entahgled in the harness.
Both fell. The great wheels rolled
over them and they were instantly
chushed to death. The back wheels
/ caught on the bodies of the horses
and the chariot came to stop.
The big animal inside damned
himself against his cage and en-
, deavored to break loose. The keep
ers finally quoted the terrified beast
after the wagon came to stand
still

life, however, and the danger only
added to his pleasure of living. Once
his life was saved through mere
chance of luck, it seems, for he was
member of the renowned Clusters
little band, every one of whom was
killed by the Indians. At that time,
however, Berg had been sent to
another post by the commanding Of
ticer and on the day the actual
slaughter took place he was 20
miles away. He knew Custer person
ally and can tell more in an hour
about those trying times than can be
learned from history in weeks.
Capt. Berg has no great love for
civilization. He is both by nature
and education lover of the woods
and would never have sought civili-
zation had his health permitted him
| to live elsewhere. He came to this
country about fifteen years ago, set
ting some fifteen or twenty miles
from this city. Fayetteville was his
nearest trading point at that time
and he made occasional visits to the
city to get provisions. He made the
acquaintance of the lovers of sport
who live here and insisted that they
come out to his ranch to hunt and
fish-for though he does not care
for civilization, he is still fond of
companionship. He found plenty who
were not slow to accept his hospital
ity and the Berg ranch became a ia
vorite resort of those who each year
wished to hide themselves away off
some where for two weeks rest.
Horses, streams, dogs and game
were furnished by their host, and
the old German himself always led
in the chase.
AS Capt. Berg became older he
cared more for the companionship
of his fellows and less for that OF
his dogs and gun and moved to Fay
etteville.
Still he was not able to give up
every semblance of the life which he
had lived and instead of moving d.
rectly into town he settled on the
rocky slope of East Mountain where,
| with his field glasses he has view
! of the country for miles around, the
city being just below him. During his
wanderings he had a mania for col
lecting everything in the way Of a
curio and all these things he has fit
ted up in a little room which he
calls his museum and his greatest
delight these days is to show these
things to his friends and tell them
the "reminiscences connected with
/ them.

SCOUTING DAYS ARE OVER.

great German rebellion took place

quered Fleeing for their lives, they
lived in exile some two or three
years, hoping that there would be a
turn in the tide of affairs. No such
good fortune occurred and the elder
Berg saw his estate confiscated and

hope had been abandoned he gath

Capt Berg was about 10 years
old when with his fathers family he

where he was going or how he was

was sent into the very widest parts
, of the country, into Montana and
even the Rockies, to buy furs of the
Indians. His pleasant manner and
spirit of fair dealing won the con-

Capt. Berg remained with the fur
company some ten or twelve years.
During this time he became we'll &C
