whether this can be accomplished or
not because of the inexperience of the
pupils. Every two or three issues a

WAYNE B. WHEELER
WILL LECTURE HERE
Prohibition Leader of Ohio
Scheduled for Tuesday
Evening at Tabernacle.

The citizens committee of one hun
dred today announced it's program for
the mass temperance meeting next
Tuesday night at the tabernacle. 1t is
expected that there will be a large
attendance. The principal speaker
will be Wayne B. Wheeler, of Colum-
bus, 0. He is lawyer and one of
the most practical and effective men
connected with the anti-saloon move
ment in the country.
He has been manager of the dry
fights in Ohio for number of years,
and it is is due largely to his heady
management that so large a part of
the territory of Ohio is now without
the saloon. His address will be outside
of the beaten track of the ordinary
temperance address, and will be one
that any thinking man or woman can
listen to with profit, regardless of
what is now thought about the expe-
diency Of license or no license.
Mr.. Wheeler will have some things
to say of peculiar interest to every
laboring men in the factories, and will
answer fully the stock argument that
there is more liquor drunk in a dry
town than in a wet one.
There will be splendid music by the
Honeywell chorus, and some special
music besides. The public is general
ly invited.

CURSES! WOMAN
FORGETS TO TELL
LOCATION OF FIRE

The telephone rang at the. central
fire station about 10 o'clock last night
An agitated woman exclaimed over the
wire: "There's fire." then put up the
receiver and the fireman who answer
ed the call cursed softly and called
the telephone exchange to request the
location Of the phone over which the
report was made. In a few minutes
central sweetly informed Chief Miller
that the phone was on a party line and
could not be located. Just then anoth-
er report came in that the fire was
somewhere on North Eighth between
Main and A." The companies made
quick run and were informed that the
fire was in millinery store.
Chief Miller and his blaze fighters
entered the store but could find no
blaze, although there was considerable
smoke. The chief then made 9 tour
of the rear alley and finally saw
flames issuing from the hood Of an au-
tomobile in q shed Just back Of the
store. The blaze was promptly ey-
tinguished and the damage was small.
A robe had been placed over the hood
and lighted electric lamp placed on
the hood. The heat ignited the robe.
The machine is the property Of Mrs.
Cora BTehm.
