Hall, last Friday afternoon. There were

chair was neatly draped, and her place
filled with sweet flowers, emblematic of
her disposition and character. After the
usual lessons from the Manual, Miss
Ella Cook, the superintendent, addressed
the children, telling them how much
they should miss their little companion,
who was never absest from a meeting
since the band was organised, who
knew what her pledge was and what 1
implied who would not take her medi
cine during her sickness because it was
mixed with brandy, saying she would
not break her promise, and after her
physician bad explained to her that un
der the circumstances she would not be
violating her pledge, she still hesitated
to swallow the medicinal intoxicants.

ladies from the Normal class sang a fit
ting piece, and Eunice Msndevilie recited
poem. The exercises were interesting,

quiet attention.

ization in Austin, having forty children

their children to be educated in this
work, or to come themselves and see if
the work is not a valuable
towsids instilling principles oi
in the minds of the young. A cordial
invitation extended to all.
zuim-8toeving Concert Co.,- interpreters
of the very highest order of piano and
violin music, will appear in Austin, Fri
day. evening, Oct. 15, at the Opera House
It is one of those exquisitely refined enter
tainments which will be remembered in
the hereafter as a red letter event. Mile.
Constance Mozarra, the renowned Aus­
trian pianiste, 19 years old, but a com-
eendel8sobn,ofisthe
ete master intricacies of Bach,
Reubenstein, Chopin and
other eminent composers. The Minneap
olis Tribune, in a recent notice of her,
says: "Mile. Mozarra. though but a child
in years and appearance, is one of the
most skillful and versatile performers
who has ever sppeared in this city. Of a
sweet, amiable disposition, she quickly
wins both the admiration and esteem, of
her auditors. 8he is a performer who
never strikes the ivories, but simply con­
verses with and caresses them her piano,7
meanwhile, whispering, cooing, laughing
and singing like a thing of life." The
same paper says: "Herr Paul Stoeving's
masterly handling of the violin, incom­
parably superior to that of any other per­
former in the Northwest, is of that pro­
nounced character, about which there are
never two opinions. 'It is superb is
the universal, unanimous expression."
It is rarely that cities the size of Austin
are favored with an entertainment of this
high order. Our citizens will be indebted
to Messrs. Squires and Anderson for
bringing the Mozarra-Stoeving Co. here.
Several choice vocal numbers will be in­
troduced in the entertainment by Miss
Addie Johnson and N. B. Solner. Seats
can now be secured at Mills ft Johnson's
drugstore.

train was moving. He threw his valise on a
flat car, and grabbed at tbe front end of the
caboose, but missed his hold, and fell under
the car, the wheels passing over both legs
between tbe hip and the knees. The train
backed and picked him up. He was taken
aboard, and the train started for Grand
Meadow for a doctor. On inquiry, we find
the man's name was W. G. Brandt, of Wykoff,
Minn. He Is a carpenter, has been working
on tbe elevator nqpr being bnilt at Benova,
and be was on his way home to visit his
family over Sunday. He was a hardworking

CAN'T UNDBB8TAND.
The old and the modern saloon advo
cate is bound to misrepresent prohibi
tion. He either has not the capacity to
understand or else he willfuly refuses to
understand the doctrine of prohibition.
We don't know that we can bring it
within the capacity of such, but we
will try:
In the first place, no prohibitionist
proposes or desires a law dictating what
a person shall or shall not eat, drink or
wear. If a man desires to eat tainted,
putrid meat, he can do so, but the law
now says he shall not sell or offer to sell
such meat.
Why? Because the law says that
tainted meat8 are injurious to health.
If a man of disordered mind and tastes
desires to revel in obscene literature, or
gaze on obscene pictures, or indulge in
obscene language, in his own private
chamber, no law will interfere with him
but if he attempt to sell or give to the
public his obscene productions, the law
will prohibit him—will punish him.
Why Because the law says that obscene
literature is injurious to the morals of
the public—especially so to the young.
Prohibitionists, and a great many per
sons not now prohibitionists, in fact
nearly every person of sane mind, believe
that the grog-shop, in its results, is
worse than both the others combined.
They believe that the public and indis­
criminate sale and use of intoxicating
li^uqrs cause more disease, poverty and
crime, and ten times the obscenity pro­
duced by any and all other means, in the
communities of this country. deny
Does the objector to prohibition flic?
this proposition regarding the rum tra
Is it possible that any person of the
least learning or ability will risk his
reputation for truth or horse sense by
declaring that the liquor traffic is not a
curse and an injury to society?
If the rum traffic does cause disease,
idleness, brawling, fighting, destruction
of property, accidents, police, jail, prison
and court expenses if it is the prolific
cause of poverty, prostitution and
obscenity, then why not prohibit it up
on the same principle that the people
now prohibit gambling, lewdness, ob­
scenity or the sale of tainted meats?
Out of charity we are willing to be­
lieve that some of our contemporaries are
so ignorant or so mullet-headed that they
do not understand the primary principles
of human government nor the rudiments
of personal rights.
When newspaper writers show such
lamentable ignorance and want of
capacity on this subject, we do not
wonder at the ignorant condition of the
average politicians of the old parties.

Neuralgic Rheumatism and Erysipelas.
About four years ago I was attacked
with what the physicinns pronounced
neuraligc rheumatism, accompanied
with erysipelas. My appetite failed me
entirely, and I had an intermitting pulse
and very irregular pulsation of the heart.
A terrible pain soon came into my chest
and shoulders, and I became so helpless
that I could attend to no business at all.
The pains were movable, and would
sometimes pass from one part of my
body to another. Finally the erysipelas
broke out on my left hand and arm, and
produced much swelling. I was for
eighteen months afflicted in this way,
and of course used a great many kinds
of medicines, but nothing gave me relief.
Friends finally persuaded me to try
Swift's Specific. I noticed a decided
improvement with taking the first bot­
tle. I continued its use until I had
taken about one dozen bottles, when I
found myself sound and well again, with
no sign of the disease left except a stiff­
ness in my hand, a result of the erysipe­
las. While taking the mcdicine I gained
on an average two pounds of flesh per
day. I think S. S. S. a valuable medi­
cine, and I frequently recommend it to
my friends. RKV. R. M. PICKENS.
