attract the cut worms. and kill large

too close to the plants for fear rain

do not die Immediately upon taking

Spiritism Said to Be Demonism.

A most interesting little Brochure
has recently come off the press setting
forth with Bible proofs that the COM
municatiOns received by and through
Spiritualist Mediums if of Demon origin.
The writer traces his subject through
the Scriptures from the time when GER
tain of the holy angels became DISC
bedient. He proves that the Scriptures
that these fallen spirits deal in per-
sonating the human dead, with whose
past history. spirits, though indvisible,
are thoroughly acquainted. He shows
that they also frequently personate
the Creator and the Redeemer, COM
manding their deceived ones to pray,
do penance, etc. This, however, is
merely to lead them on and to bring
them more thoroughly under demonicai
control. Sometimes by breaking down
the natural barrier, the human will,
they obsess their victim. and rule him
more or less to his ruin-frequently
sending such to the mad house. Nu-
merous illustrations, Scriptural and 9th
erwise, are given. The price of the
little book is ten cents: it should be
in the hands of all interested in Spir-
itism or who have friends interested
therein. Enclose five two-cent stamps

FORCED SALOONS TO CLOSE
Rev. E. H. Willisford Appeared at the
Police Station With Protest.

The saloons opened up at about
eight o'clock last evening, in violation
of the law and of Mayor Meyers pub
lished order. but Rev. Z. H. WiIlisfOrd
an hour and half later caused their
prompt closing again. He was down
street getting the election returns, and
noticed the saloons wide open and was
astonished. He at once sought the
city hall, and informed the police of
the condition of affairs, but no great
astonishment was shown by the blue
coats. Several in the crowd sought to
argue the matter, but Rev. WillisfOrd
addressed himself ~ Chief Pond and
plainly informed him what the law
was and how it was being openly vio-
lated, and gave notice that if the sa-
looms were not closed forw9h he would
this morning call the attention of the
attorney general to the fact that
Mayor Meyer was not enforcing the
laws and ask for his removal from
office
Mr.. Pond realized that Mr. Willis.
ford held the high cards, and at once
issued orders to have the saloons
closed. This was done at once. When
word of the affair passed along the
street proprietors of bars and few
others friendly to liquor interests gath
cred at the police station and de-
nounced the reverend gentleman who
had succeeded in a few moments in
making dry town of Mankato by
invoking the law Some denounced him
and some the law, but it was of no
avail. Chief Pond informed all that
the law was clear and would have
to be enforced, under the circum-
stances.
1t is stated that word was passed
along the line shortly after seven
O'Clock last evening that the saloons
might open at eight, and there was
a general opening Rev. Wilisford's
sensational appearance on the scene
was the talk of the hour and over
shadowed the election gossip for
time.
Chief Pond states that it has been
customary for mayors in the past to
allow the saloons to open after the
polls close on election day, and that
i'll doing SO last night the custom was
merely being followed.
Rev. Willisford states that both can
didates for mayor, previous to the cleo
ton, gave promises that if elected
they would enforce the laws relating
to saloons, pool rooms, etc, to an ex-
tent that was reasonable and he did
not think that allowing the saloons
to be open last evening was carrying
out the promise.
After the saloons had been closed,
Rev. Willisford returned to the police
station and had a half hours earnest
and pleasant conversation with Chief
Pond. who was very courteous through
out the evening.
Mr.. Willisford did not go home until
after he had twice gone up and down
the street, and was satisfied that every
saloon was tightly closed.
