disregarded his warning and her cries
aroused the neighbors who assembled
and after hearing her story, began
the search for the negro who she
stated fled at her first outcry. In a
few momenDs the news was circulated
over the city and officers were joined
in the search by citizens. \ re
quest was sent to headquarters and
the fire department took out the auto
truck for the benefit of the search
light and every street and alley in the
northwest part of the city was search
ed, but without result.
Early this morning a negro was
picked up who was acting in a mys-
terious manner and brought to the
lady for Identification, but he proved
to be the wrong one and was turned
loose and joined in the search.
This morning the search was re
newed and surrounding towns notified
bv wire to be on the lookout for
stray negro, but up to this hour moth
ing has been heard of him,
Sheriff Garrett has the affair in
charge and if it is within the pale Of
human possibility to land this party
he will be apprehended.
1t is believed by many this morning
that Mrs. Miller, who is of nervous
temperament, was frightened from
some other cause, and that she was
mistaken about seeing a negro. Some
of the neiRhbors who were sitting on
their front porches at the time she
screamed, assert that they saw no one
running away. However, the affair
will be thoroughly investigated by the
officers in an endeavor to get the facts
in the case,

Temperance Notes.

A wealthy brewer of Ohio, in adver-
Using for sale certain lots of land in
Dayton gave, as one Of several rea
sons why they were especially desira
BILE, the fact that saloons were prohit-
tied in that section.
According to the annual report of the
| coroner of Pennsylvania county,
seven out Of eighteen homicides, four
of twenty-four suicides, thirteen of
forty-four deaths on the railroad, and
four out of fourteen deaths by drown
ing, in that county in 1910, were
caused by liquor.
| A liquor paper published in Louis
vile, KY, which bears the striking
| ly inappropriate name of American
Common Sense, objects to the order
of a great railroad company forbid
ding its employees to enter saloon,
either on or off duty, because num-
Der Of saloon-keepers, "who were con-
Quoting decent and legitimate bust
ness" have been thereby obliged to
curtail their expenses or close their
doors.
Lady Henry Somerset states the
fact that in one district in Liverpool,
in which there are no saloons. there is
but one pauper in every 1000 inhabi-
| tants. In another district, in which
there are 200 saloons, there is one
pauper in every twenty-eight inbabi-
tants. 1t is likely that investigation
would disclose similar conditions in
the wards and precincts of all cities,
American as well as English.-Na
ional Advocate.
A liquor dealer in Tennessee, who
received an order from a place in Ala
bama. sent the order to his agent in
Georgia town, with instructions to fill
it there, which was done. The Su-
preme Court Of Georgia has decided
! that this transaction was in reality a
sale of liquor in the state of Georgia,
and that the prohibition law of that
state was violated by the Tennessee
liquor dealer, although he was not
within the boundaries of the state at
the time and neither was the buyer.
The saloons of Bangor were closed
by order of the mayor, Immediately
after the recent fire. This announce
ment suggests several questions, to
which we have not been able to think
of any satisfactory answer: l. Since
Maine is a prohibition state, if the
mayor knew, as he evidently did, of
the existence of saloons in Bangor in
defiance of the law, why did he wait
for some great disaster before order
ing them closed? z. If it was posi-
BILE to close the saloons. and keep
them closed, as has been done since
the fire, why is it not possible to close
them and keep them closed, at any
time? 3. If saloons are proper and
desirable things in a community, why
should they be closed at such time
any more than the grocery stores or
the banks? Why should the saloon.

HOW TO INTEREST PRESENT
MEMBERS.

Dear Sisters of the w. C. I. U.
Frances Willard said, "We shall
never climb to Heaven by making it
our lifelong business to save our
selves" An Iowa university has de-
cided to make the study of the liquor
problem part of the regular college
work My dear members of the W. c.
T. U. can't we make the study of the
liquor problems a part Of our home
work, to be talked of in our home
gatherings as one topic Of conversa
ton, that We may help each other to
know more about this great evil and
help to put it down?
| feel SO very ignorant in the work
of the w. C. T., U. although I have
always been interested in it, that any,
thing | might say, would be of small
interest to some of the members, who
have made the subject almost a life
study. But the one great thing to
the good work.
We are ali children Of an older
growth, but who ever saw a school
of children who were interested and
idle at the same time, nor should we
expect our presidents to be the only
ones to do the work.
! think each member should try
from time to time to bring an inter-
esting item, a song, or simple story,
for the good of the union. We are
not all interested in the same things
but variety is the spice Of life. -
Without using any sarcasm I think
unless we strive to attend the month
" meetings we not only lose interest
in the meetings but in the work itself.
AS I was reading the Union Signal, |
found this verse which seemed too
good to pass over.
"Only knot of ribbon, a tiny bow Of
white.
But it stands for God and Heaven and
everything that's right.
1t stands for home and country and
all that's good and true.
And they who gladly wear it, the
Masters work will do.
Miss Willard was won't to ask of
white ribboners a pledge, "Never to
speak discouraging words about the
work or disparaging words about the
workers. We must all learn and
grow and achieve and good motto to
carry with US daily is "All for each
and each for all. "-Written by Mrs.
c. S. Parker, Glover, Vt.
