The celebratej Ryan & Lock wood's
Minstrels will give an entertainment ai

Fort Rice nstreis who have been held
in such high esteem by our citizens sur­
rendered to this troupe. We have be­
fore us a letter from Mr. Rooney, «f
the Fort ce Minstrels, in which he
*»wns it up and wishes us to make the
fact known. He says he labored undei
the delusion that the troupe he tnai
aged was the finest that could be raised,
but does not hold to that egotistical
view since the advent of Ryan & Lock
wood's Minstrels. When the latter were
at Fort Rice Sergeant Rooney says Col.
Hart and other officers attended and ht
never saw the Col. en^oy himself so well
he laughed all over. The Sergeant gives
these minstrels great credit for the
manner they performed their parts,
and says from their first appearance t«»
the closing scene they were the recipi­
ents of unbounded and well merited ap­
plause from all.
The Sergeant continues at length in
high praise of the troupe, but a lack oi
time and space precludes further notice
Big Hunting.
Messrs. S. H. Carhoof and G. W.
Stone have returned from their winters'
hunt and have, settled [down to farm
ing. The resultof their winters' hunt
is as follows: 29 elk, white tailed
deer four black tailed, 85 antelope, 100
lbs of beaver, 25 woli, 8 badgers, 8
mink, 12 foxes and about 2000 chickens.
These gentlemen are among our most
successful hunters, yet their success
proves that the country abounds in
game.

THE DOLLY VARDEN PAPERS.
The Kew Crusade*
BY LINDA W. SLAUGHTER.
The year 1874 will long be memor­
able as having witnessed the inaugura­
tion of the "Woinens' Whiskey War."
This, like the famous "Battle of the
Kegs," 'twill long live in verse and
story, and the coming man shall read,
now in each eastern town and hamlet,
organiz bunds of earnest, determined
«vomen, inarched out into the streets
ind beseiged each alchoholic stronghold,
not with uiortar, cannon and ptstard,
but with the peaceful weapons of song
and prayer.
Far be it fjjfn me ever to speak light­
ly of cenc ried Christian effort any­
where know ihat in the ranks of
these praying bands are found women of
culture, of refinement, of true nobility
of nature, snd of the highest social
worth sorrowing wives and mothers
who have tasted the bitterness of this
curse, who h»ve felt the keenness of
poverty and the disgrace of drunken­
ness, and who in days of anxiety and
weary nights of watching, have earned
the light to protest thus solemnly and
publicly against the supposed authors of
their wrongs.
But it does seem to ine, as if these
good woman bad somehow gotten hold
of the wrong horn of the dilemmn, and
are fighting their war with unwomanly
weapons, wasting their ammunition, as
it weie, by blindly hurling themselves
igainst the strongholds of the enemy.
Never since the days of Sancho Panza
has there been such a waste of enthu­
siasm, such an exhibition of misdirected
energy and mistaken zeal. Like poor
tacticians these honestly, sincere war­
riors, are destroying their own vitality
in useless onslaughts on the outer wail
of the castle, when a little social strategy
would effect a peaceful surrender. They
have started out on the wrong premises
and have mistaken the effect fur the
*»u.»e. The saloons are no more respon­
sible for the sins of intemperate men,
than milliner stoies are accountable for
the follies and weaknesses of fashionable
women.
Men, who cannot pass, a saloon with­
out feeling thirsty, and who, when «nce
aiuid the "glittering generalities." of
the bar, become oblivious of the flight
of time, have their counterpart in
women who cannot pass a milliner store
witho jt stopping, and who when sur
louuued Willi tne bewildering display of
fantastic vanities, become so intoxicated
wilt) the tinseled trifles of iace and rib
bon, as to be incapable of exercising
their judgment, but linger of| adsorbed
iu ttie study ol fashion plates, forgetful
of the fact that the wheels of their
household machinery will be at a dead
lock until their return. Home, husband
aud children are secondary matters to
such women, and too often they indulge
in purchases ol useless things which
they can ill afford, to'the great detriment
ol their husband's purse and credit.
Now ibis is very sad, but because
there are weak women, who possess
neither strength or inclination to resist
the temptation of foolishly spending
their hufband's money, wasti 'their
time, and neglecting their families,
shall weabolish the milliner stores that
are at oiice a convenience ind necessity
to thousands of good, sensible women,
whw love beautiful things for their own
sake, *ud at which they can select'their
personal adornment with good .taste,
bound judgment, and conscientious re­
gard for their husband's income? Cer­
tainly it wotold be the height of absurd­
ity tor the unhappy husbands of these
,wea!i wives lo.aiteMpt a .raid on^such
establishments, and how ludicrous it
would be, w6ie they to organize a pray­
ing band' to pray the milliner trhops out
ot existence. Aud it wouldn't do a
bit oi good either. No sooner^ wiMild
one conscience stricken^ milliner suc­
cumb to the force of public opinion,
than another uiore enterprising firm
would.'start.up, on the same street, per
.haps^and drive a flourishing trade, with
the Quaiid"m cpsvomers, of the former.
