Farmers are justly jubilant over the
proseets for crops in consequence of the
splendid rain that has been falling.
Small grain is for the most part just
nicely up, and the value of the present
dampness cannot be estimated too high
in calculating on the lenelit it will lie to
this class of crops, and as it is yet quite
early it will doubtless lie the cause of a
great deal more being sown. The rain
has also been beneficial in extinguishing
the numerous prairie (ires throughout
the county that were doing more or less
dimage. Cluulron Democrat.
(A large amount of damage was done
last Saturday by a prairie fire which
skirted some four miles south-west of
town, near the Keenan farm, and sweep
ing the country to Asli creek, burning 25
tons of hay belonging to J. II. Under
wood, then running south to the farm
of the Beers Bros, who lost from 30 to
40 tons of hay and millet, then south
east to the farm of Charley Annis, burn
ing his barn and corn crib, with a large
amount of corn, then his granery, with
' 50 bushels of oats, and farming tools, in
fact everything he had except his dwell
ing house, and then running south to the
farm of Marion Cummings it consumed
his barn, granery, tools, fences, and
leaving him entirely destitute of every
thing except his team, house and house
hold goods. ,The origin of these fires
should be looked into and the parties
guilty of setting them should be handled
without gloves and given the full extent
of the law. Whitney Champion.

Helen Chalmers, daughter of the not

among the drunken men and their fami
lies, in Edinburgh. She lives in poverty
and suffering in an alley and can be seen
on dark nights, with her lantern, going
through the lanes of the city hunting up
the fallen and wicked and bringing them
to her reform school. She is known and
loved by every one.
"A shoe manufacturer in Portland,"
relates the Brunswick. Me., Telegraph,
"being asked to assist in providing bread
for the suffering jmor, said that he
would contribute' to the extent of 100
sacks of flour and 100 bushels of meal,
one sack of (lour and one bushel of meal
to he given to each man who might be
found in Portland who neither kept a
dog, drank rum or used tobacco, and
was in need of bread. The first man has
not appeared yet to claim the gift."
From the ringing words of our Post
master General on the subject of prohi
bition we take a few extracts calculated
to inspire encouragment in tlie hearts of
the W. C. T. U. workers. Addressing a
large audience in Bethany Sunday
School 5fr. Wanamuker said: "We
should be temperate in all things; that
means the use of tobacco and opium; it
includes profanity and anger and impur
ity of life." Speaking of the broken
hearted wives and children of the hus
bands and fathers who were dashed to
pieces on the rocks in the wrecks of the
American men-of-war at Samoa he said:
"Right here in our city are broken
hearted people, lieaten against the rocks
of adversity by this tide of liquor and
license. The man who will not sign
a temierance pledge, though he does
not need it himself, to help a weaker
brother, is not as much of a man as he
thinks himself to be. What is the reas
on you won't stand out for the amend
ment, because you like a glass of beer?
You say; 'I wtuit to lie free to take an
occasional drink if I feel like it' What
influence keeps you from voting for the
amendment? I ask, is it the influence
of the glass of beer? There are thous
ands of men in this city who do not get
drunk; a man may not drink at all and
yet be under tlie influence of the liquor
spirit: He will say, 'I am a temperance
man, but I am in business and the liquor
people deal with me, so I will say noth
ing against it. Now what influence is
he under? It is the same with many a
politician; he is afraid he won't get votes
so he is silent on the liquor question.
When a minister or teacher refuses to
speak out on this question he is ruled
by the liquor interests. The drunkard
who votes for prohibition is a freer man
than the total abstainer who carries wa
ter on both shoulders and then votes for
liquor or to put it in the harness of high
license. Just as the saloon keeper
must answer for every glass he sells, so
we, must answer for voting for liquor.
It is simply a question of whether or not
we are in favor of the saloon. It isn't
a question of high license. The quibble
that prohibition does not prohibit has
nothing to do with it. The law against
stealing does not prevent stealing. The
ed the school already. The old O Ksame power that puts the amendment
on our constitution will attend to the
enforcement of the law. God is going
to count the votes. Vote for prohibi
tion and you'll be voting for Him, for
order, for religion, and for the highest
civilization. He will see every ballot."
