XLVI 68 THE SPEAKS AT THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Yesterday Afternoon to a Very Appreciative Audience. The Itcv. M. S. Poulson of Lincoln the district manager of the anti-saloon league, was in the city yesterday and occupied the pulpit at the Methodist church during the morning and at 3 o'clock' in the afternoon delivered a very able address at the Presbyterian church in the interest of the organiza tion for which he works. The meet ing was opened by singing "Work for ; ; , Coming," after hich prayer was offered by the iicv. W. H. Lampe of Oamha, then "America" was sang by the entire meeting. The address followed in which Rev. Poul sou said in substance: The anti-saloon league is not an organization, as is generally held, it is not a political party, but only work and through the churches and the already organized political parties, but support such candidates as are pledged to push the work of teinperanc and further the work which is for making of better government. The speaker said that they of the organi zation in the first place began to work against the saloon keeper, but not in a nersonal sense, but found that it was not always him that paid the fines, and for the license, but some one be hind him in the case, and that after the investigation which they were mak ing had been pushed farther it was dis covered that the real interest in keep ing the saloon going was the United Brewers' association, and that they were furnishing the money for li censes, for fines, for fixtures for the saloon, mid in fact in most cases go ing behind the saloon and literally owning it. The speaker said that there were committeemen besides 1,200 ministers who are working for the cause in the state of Nebraska aud that they wen" tabulated as friends of the movement and those who would support only those who were in favor of the cause, some (io.OOO voters. In spei-Ying of the number of saloons in various cities he said that Chicago had some 7,000 saloons running in that place. He also said that there were nine dry; states, and that six of them had gone so during the last two years, and that 71 per cent of the entire country was dry. During the last year there were meet ings of 37 legislatures, and of these there were 22 which passed laws that were not in favor of the saloon, while only five failed to pass laws which had in their effect the regulation of the liquor traffic. Rev. Poulson departed for Nebraska Cith this morning where he will speak before returning to his home in Lincoln. Mrs. Louisa Poppen, mother of Mrs. P. A. Harrows, who has been visiting her other children at Albion, Petersburg and Elgin, during the time that Mr. and Mrs. Harrows have been living here, came Saturday to again live with her daughter. She was accompanied from Onyiha by her grandson, Dorsey Kesterson of Albion who h:is been in the Clarkson hospital at Omaha under treatment for one of his eyes which was injured by a stone thrown at him by another boy. It is feared that the sight is dest roved. Parties living on High school hill are making complaint that some of the delivery urivcrs iaKc posses.-io.i o; the walks to the detriment of tiie pe destrians. The reason is supposed to be that the walks present a bette track than the middle of the street which is rough and broken. The city cannot go to the expense of building pavements for the people to walk upon and then have them driven away by some delivery man who thinks he owns the earth. It wire well that the officers be notified of the practice and that they see to it that it be no longer followed. In Justice Court. There is being tried befoie his honor in Justice M.

At After numberless hours of suffering, W. L. Street, one of Plattsmouth's most re spected and beloved citizens, passed away this morning at the Emmanuel hospital at Omaha. Mr. Street was taken to this same hospital some mouths ago, and after a long period, succeeded seemingly in recovering from an opera tion, and returned home, feel ing greatly relieved and has since been working until some two weeks since, when by taking coin, his old trouble was aggrevated, and a re lapse came, causing his re turn to the hospital at Omaha on the ninth of this month, for treatment. The physicans at the hospital were unable to relieve the intense suffer ing which intended this last sickness, and the condition of Mr. Street grew worse, until the end this morning at 7 o'clock. The remains will arrive this evening and the funeral services will be held from his residence, on Wed nesday morning at 8:,'10.
