Farmers Union Day.

Through the kindness of the management of the State Fair to be held at Hot Springs, Ark, Oct. 7-13 inclusive; Monday, Oct. II has been set aside as Farmers Union Day. We, as a committee appointed to arrange a program are very anxious that this be made the most success ful day of the Fair. Since the Fair Association has been so kind as to offer us a rate of twenty-five cents gate fee, when the regular rate is fifty cents and reserved seats twenty five cents; and too, since the railroads have offered a reduced rate of one fare for the round trip from any point in the state, 1t seems to us that we should have-a good representative body of Union Farmers in attendance on that day. While each day of the Fair will be interesting and in structive, we are sure you will readily agree with us when we say that this day means more to our people than any other of the days of the Fair. If nothing else would cause us to lend our support in making this the big gest day of the Fair the fact that it is Farmers Union Day should cause us to make determined effort to make it such.
 The Committee, together with the assistance of the Manage ment of the Fair, hope to make this an educational affair as well as an entertaining one, proof of which you will readily see by the fact that the management has secured the services of the fol lowing speakers, and possibly others.
 Prof. Geo. A. Cole; President of the State Farmers Union and Superintendent of Farmers Institute Work, Fayetteville, Ark Dr. c. F. Adams, Director of the Experiment Station, Fayetteville, Ark; J. A. Evans, State Agent of the Farm Dem onstration Work, Shreveport La, F. $. White, who has charge of the Exhibition Car of the Rock Island Frisco, and MT, Clement Simonton, one of the most noted Union speakers ir the United States. We canno: afford to miss this opportunity of hearing these distinguished gentlemen.
 Take the matter up at youl next local meeting, and urge each member to make it his business to get as many to at tend the Fair on this day as possible. Do not neglect this but help us to get out crowd that we may show the non-unior people of the state that tn, Farmers Union is not dead ye by great deal:
 Trusting that you will show your interest in the welfare o.

G. Oldham vice president ofthe
District were present. Mrs.
Oldham who was a delegate to
the National Womans Christian
Temperance Union at Denver
in October gave a talk on the
National Work, she told of the
arrival of the white ribbon spe-
cial and about the brass bands
and automobiles being in wait
ing to conduct the delegates to
their places of entertainment.
The first and second days were
devoted to schools of methods.
When the different organizers
ard superintendent of depart
ments told what their work was,
exclaimed the work each one
insisted that their department
was the most important of any.
The convention proper began
Friday in the large convention
auditorium, called to order by
the National President, Lillian
M. N. Stevens who gave heran-
nual address in her Impressive
manner and each day and each
hour from this time on until
the convention closed was filled
with encouraging reports of
temperance work Each de-
partment reporting q marked
advance above every other year
and it was fully decided to be
the best national convention
ever held. Many visiting dele
gates of other organization
were received and gave enthu-
siastic approval of the work
being done and having been ac-
compiished by the w CT U. She
spoke of many noted speakers,
one being Hon. Seaborn Wright
of Georgia, who was greeted by
a large appreciative audience.
She spoke of demonstration
night and young people being
the most interesting and in
structive, when more than one
thousand children stood on the
platform most of whom had
taken the triple pledge. The
most pleasant feature was
when she told US that this
grand convention is to be re-
peated in Omaha this fall. Mrs.

culate the petitions for subnls-
sion, the reformatory for wo-

Pennsylvania where there are
2S Unions and nearly 1900
members. She believes that
much of the success of the w.
C. T. u. work lies in county or
ganization. They left the
Union much encouraged with
seeming new vigor. The next
meeting will be with Mrs. Has

Saloons Fer the Valley.

The city council met in spec
ial session last evening for the
purpose of considering appllca
tion of August Bierbach OF
Elkhorn, Nebraska, to open two
saloons in Missouri Valley. All
members of the council were
present when the meeting was
called to order. and there were
a number of business men and
visitors present. The saloon
petition called for saloons in
two places, the George Gumb
location on West Erie and the
Emil Sueme location on 9th
street. After discussion of the
matter, the vote was taken
with the following result: Coun-
cilmen George Williams, t. M.
Gilmore, DR.. Tamisiea and j.
B. Leet voted yea; ond Council
men Littler and Colver voted
no. The petition was declared
carried.
Rev. Buriff and Rev. Mac
Al]ister spoke in opposition to
the granting of a license to
these saloons and made a plea
for more time in order that the
people should all have a chance
to show their feeling in the
matter. The signing of the re-
monstrance is still going on,
but the number last evening
was not enough to be consider
ed by the council.
Councilman Gilmore then
moved that the mayor be in
structed to have the city at
torney draw up a resolution
raising the license of the sa-
looms to $1,000 each per year.
After some other routine
work the council adjourned
until the regular meeting night.
A petition or remonstrance
had been circulated on the
streets for sometime for sign
ers, protesting against the re-
opening of saloons in Missouri
Valley, but the necessary num-
Der Of names had not been Sc
cured and the petition was not
presented to the council last
evening.
