Owing to the eipht weeks revival meeting conducted by Billy Sunday the saloons have been hard hit and their business has Oreatlv decreased and as thousands of good customers have got on the water wagon since the meeting commenced thev seen only financial loss for them and so want to get out before there is creater loss. There have been 29,000 thousand conversions with two more weeks for the meeting to run. It is planned by the Sunday packers to send 5000 men from Philadelphia to liar risburg and insist upon the Legisla- ture passing the Local Option Bill now before that body.

He has defied them and says, ''I defy anyone on Gods dirt to prove anything on me. llfpay his ear fare to any city in the country to hunt for it. If you have anything, you black-hearted imp of hell, out with it."
