MllS.J'IXESS LECTl'liE.
This commuiinicatiou was ha. id oil
to us too late for the last isxiiit.
Mis. Liiur.1 Fixen, the temperance
lecturer gavo a very eloquent address
at the Congregational Church on Dec.
l:. The church was'comfortably filled
The ladies or the W C. T. U. tastefully
decorated the church with growing
phmUaiidioiirXiiatioii.il colors. The
lecturer appeared as a loiind faced
and phimply , formed woman, hlill
young. She joiiii'd in the sons Jwith
a rich alto soico. Being a foreigner,
there was jit eunuch brogue in her
speech to give u chai m to her words.
Her tlicinc.thuiipl) oid seemed new as
mIi.i talked. She s.iid society was made
up of something more than men and
women. It iiius have law, order and
intelligence. The thoughts of society
weio to t what food was to the thody.
If its thoughts were impure society was
eorrui'ied. B.id thoughts brought
along the s.i'oon and those o.hcr evil
places over Which rtdaik shadow hung.
Uo eminent was discused, what it
meant and its relation to the. people;
its object was to secure to' its Vubjecw
their ligh'.s and piiviiogcs, and to
promolo tiio welfute'of the nation, The
goveinnie.it meant the voters, there
fore men constituted the govortnent,
so to tho mon she brought her appeal.
There is a great strugglo going ouun
the land between tho homo and the
saloon. A bitter cry had eono up io
heaven from saddened homes and ru
ined lives; a cry that would never be1
hushed ; a struggle that would not cud
until the question was settled and set
tled rightly.
Government to bo good,'' must
bo liealthy and intelligent. If tlio sa
loon promoted thee virtues, thou ev
ery man should votu for it; every min
isters should preach in its favor. But
placing tho home on one nlu add the
saloon upon the othe' in glowing Ian-
guago innt i win not attempt to givo,
sho contrasted their diUoronl clients
upon society. The homo is the safe
guard of the nation, the saloon its
deadliest enemy. The homo and the
saloon could not flourish side by side.
The one niit thrive at tho other's ex
peiitio. Uoagiik'o nun a clour brain
and a strong arm ; d'ink deadened the
brain mid palsiod the arm. Drink
causes men to commit all sorts of
crime. Nine-tonths of our couvicU
were mado through iu influence.
Who shall paint a truo picture of
the misery that iutoxicatimr drink
brings upon tho human ruco? If I
could take tho ocean for my paint pot,
make every stick a brush and every
man an artist, then let tho canopy of
heaven bo my canvass, and tlio stars
my palettes, tho winds to bo oiglis. and
drops of rain for tears, tho rolling
thunder the groatm, the lightning Hash
es to reliovo my dark picture, then, if
whilo wo worked I could, like Joshua,
command tho sun to stand still in tho
West, and tho moon to cast her soft
light in the East, I would tiso up all
my paint, wear out all my brushes and
tiro all my artists, yet I must turn
away and say I could not do tho sub
ject justice.
During tho war women gave
all they had, the husbands and sous, to
help save tho nation and make their
homos secure. Now sho asks tho gov
ernment to protect and savo their
uomes irom tue saloons. Some may
say if a man will Jdriuk lot him take
tho consequences, but too often the
home takes the consequonccti. Five
saloon keepers to ever preacher of the
gospel. One man to build up and live
to tear down. One dollar given for tho
support of the gospel, fifteen spent for
rum, one dollar r God, fifteen for tho
devil. Three timss as much spent in
our fialoons as it costs to oducato our
children. Graduates from tho saloons
or tho schooWwfilch is the better for
ocioty? If aboil woro rung for every
dmnkard's death, it would ring every
lie minutes. Our ships sail in every
su laden with rich cargoes and man-
iiM by some of our bravest men. If
th were all wrecked and lost in soma
grin storm, what a cry would go up in
outland.but if I could c!oe the su
loons I would furnish enough money
to rebuild every ship and load them
with cargoes. If I could close the sa
loon I would save men enough for
their crews ready to be sent lor'h at
the bidding of the nation. Every year
has Us spring, summer .mil winter, so
Hod's temperance year has Us actions,
but always under the snow, there is
life wailing for the spring. In obecn-
rity n boy lived ami grew to mmh ad j

storios woro told to bring out pniuts(
Once Senator Voorheos when lectur
ing in Iowa, he said: what would you
farmers do with your com if there
wo.e no distille-ies to use it? One
farmer mose and wanted to know if he
could asked that question for informa
tion. Yes he did, "well then I would
advise them to raise more hogs and
less hell." Another which may nut be
so truo of a man in Kansas who was
caught in a ruin and got into a hollow
tree to keep dry, the tioe swelled in
Ihe rain so when he wished to get out
ho stuck last. At last he hn bethought
himself to pray, but it did no good.
Then he remembered that ho should
confess his sins while he prayed. There
weio a great many to confess for hn
was a politician. At Inst he thought
how he had voted against prohibition,
and it made him feel so small that he
got riiiht out.
The saloon men aio very much in
favor of moral suasion but what thoy
need is legal suasion.

Every voter on tho right side was a

men stick to their good resolution's
Mi.ine, Kansas and Iowa havo rooms

PYTHIAS KNIGHTHOOD.
On Saturday night, Calanthii lodgo,
U. I)., Knights of Pythias, was duly
and regularly instituted in this city, at
their Castle hall, by Grand Chancellor,
J. G. Jones, of the Grand Jurisdiction
of Nebraska, assisted by seventeen
knights from Hastings lodge, K. P.,
together with brothren from Kansas,
Iowa and other places. At eight
o'clock, everything being in readiness,
a grand lodge of emergency was organ
ized with the following grand officers
in the chahs :
J. 0. Jones, G. C.
A. 3. Campbell, O.V.C. "
B. F. Lead,G. K. R.8.
A. J. Anderson, G. P.
John Dugan, G. M. A.
Jacob Thomas, O. P. 0.
James Martin, G. I. G.
C. Pollock, G. 0. G.
With the convening of tho grand
body the work of instructing the
candidates in tho mysteries of this
chivalaric order ensued and tho con-
let ing of the several ranks was.doue in
a most creditable manner by tho breth
ren of Hastings lodge, tho work con
summing tlio better part of ihe night.
At half-past cloven o'clock, according
to previous nrrangmont, u grand ban
quet was tendered to tho grand chan
cellor and visiting knights. The sup
per was served at Lauterbach's restau
rant and was certainly a credit to his
cuisine ability. After supper the can
d dates were initiated in thu high and
honorable rank of knight, and then
followed Installation of tho officers for
the ensuing term. The officers selec
ted, were :
P. C A. C. Hosnier.
C. C M. D. Edinger.
V.C. I. L. Miller.
Prelnto-J. A. Tulleys.
K. R. 8. Robt V. Shirey.

Attendants J. M. Prvse, F. Brad

ier. D. D. G. C A. C. Hosmer.
The now lodge starts out with the
very brightest prospects, there being
nearly lorty cnartcr memuers, ana a
number of applicants for honors on
tho road. Thn knighu have se
cured tho Masonic halt for their use,
and will hold meetings twice each
month. May it live forever.

Bro. Geo. R, Donavin, business man
ager of Donavin's Tennesseeaus, and

Calautha lodgo makes ten that Bro,
Jones has instituted since his adminis
