Firemen's Ball

The thirty.seventh annual
ball of the Missouri Valley Fire
Department was held at
Browns hall last evening ard
as usual about 100 couples were
present. Several people at
tended, who were not dancing,
which gave ample room for the
dancers. The hall had been
decorated in red, white and
blue streamers hung from the
center Of the ceiling to the
sides, about seventy-five strings
of paper being used, which
made the hall look very beauti-
full. Other articles belonging
to the department were used in
the decorations and were very
|artisticallv placed about the
hall. Twenty-four numbers
were danced and most of the
crowd stayed until the home
waltz which was played about
two o'clock this morning. The
committee in charge of the
dance are to BIZ commended for
the efforts they put forth in
giving one of the best dances
in the history Of the fire de-
partment and for the large
number of tickets sold. The
music was furnished by Whine
Burbank, Chas. Witt and Bats.

Bandits Seek to Stop Train

Ceder Rapids, la, Feb. 2lr
Five men made an unsuccessful
attempt to hold up the ives t.
bound train No. 9 on the Chic
ago & Northwestern railro; d,
near Bertram, a village nine
miles east of here, at 3 o'clock
this morning.
4 The train is known as the
fast mail and carries no passen-
gers. 1t was forced to slow
to a speed of four miles
an, hour on account of con-
struction work on the outskirts
of the village and it was at this
point that the men signaled
the engineer to stop. Suspicious
of the irregular method used in
signaling, the engineer did not
bring his train to a stop. When
the train failed to stop, one of
bandits opened fire on tie
engineer, hitting him in the
arm.
Throwing on all steam, the
engineer brought his train 10
this city, where a posse was
formed and started in pursuit
of the bandits.

with half million Hebrews and Ger
mans.
Anything that might be called we'll
organized temperance effort is of
modern origin, and l will speak prin-
cipally of the "Eluteria," total abb
stinence organization formed in 1902
more than fifty years after the
launching of temperance organization
in England and America.
The Eluteria does not aim at the
regeneration of the human race, but
it is a distinctively Polish national
enterprise. The Polish nation was for
nine centuries a great kingdom,
stretching from the North Sea to the
Black Sea, and in the sixteenth cen
fury it was the greatest power in
Europe Its loss of freedom was no
small measure due to abuse of alcohol
There is still strong national spirit
although Poland was parceled up
among three different empires. The
promoters of Eluteria believe that it
is not possible to prosecute success
fully any great national movement
except upon a basis of sobriety
Eluteria, therefore, is not applied
Christianity, but applied patriotism
The society is organized through
the whole kingdom of Galicia, but
neither in Russia nor German Poland
is it permitted. The movement has
been taken hold of enthusiastically,
not only in the cities among the pro-
fessional and laboring classes, but al
so among the country people in the
villages The appeal of organization
is made to both young and old. The
women of Galicia do not use intoxi-
cants, as rule, and they have ex-
erted good influence both by precept
and example upon their husbands and
all the sterner sex. There are Flu
terra circles amongst all classes,
amongst the school boys and girls,
amongst university students, medical
men, lawyers, clergymen, artisans,
farmers and among sport clubs.
Purely Educational At First.
At first the work of Eluteria was
purely educative. The members edu-
Gated themselves in their weekly meet
ings and they educated the public at
public meetings and at great conven-
tons held in different parts of the
kingdom. For six years the move
ment was almost wholly confined to
organization and educative work.
In the seventh year the application
of the truths taught was directed to
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1912-05-24
By DR.. B. Gerzabek, in indicator

and because they pledged themselves
before election to promote the inter
ests of the cause. There was a good
deal of success in the movement, and
in the next, or eighth year, the Flu
terra broke into the larger political
arena of the cities. Candidates who
were either abstainers themselves or
who solemnly promised to support
temperance, were put in the field and
many were elected.
In the ninth year of the Eluteria
the elections for the provincial diet
came on, and the members carried
their question into political discus
sion and held great conventions in
different parts Of the kingdom, to de-
velop spirit in favor of the election
of deputies who would stand for total
abstinence and for temperance legis-
lation in parliament. By this time
there were nearly seven thousand
circles in Galicia, and the Eluteria
was not yet ten years old.
The result of the ten years cam
paign can not be measured. Eighty
per cent of tn, people, at least, have
been sufficier v educated to under
stand that al 'ol is an enemy of the
human orga", IN, injurious to health
and shortening life. They have learn
ed that it is a great foe to morals, and
is a hindrance to industrial progress,
and they have also learned that it is
a political evil, and that as long as it
remains with the protection of gov
eminent, it will corrupt politicians and
political organizations and hinder free
dom. There is no village so small but
it has its circle, whose members by
their own conduct as we'll as by their
speeches and demonstrations, are ex-
erting benehcent influences upon their
fellows.
One of the finest reforms achieved
is connected with the educational sys-
tenn of the country, and high hopes
are entertained for the future when
these younger people come into citi
zenship. Apart from the voluntary
associations of the society, the school
law provides for the teaching of the
physical effects of alcohol The
younger children are taught simple
lessons from charts, and the higher
classes from text books, but all STU
dents in the state schools and uni
versities, from the third form up, are
instructed as to the nature of alcohol
and its influence upon the human sys-
tenn All teachers must be total abb
stainers, and all teachers which have
qualified in recent years must be mem
bers of the temperance association,
