This afternoon at 2:30 a meeting in the interests of a canning factory con vened at D. B. Spanogle's office. The subject was thoroughly discussed and a committee of Kenyon Skeen and Mr. Boggs was appointed to go to Beatrice to look into and report the workings of the factory at that place and report at a meeting to be held at the Odd Fel lows ball next Monday afternoon at four o'clock. No better institution could be organized for the benefit of the farmers than a canning factory and as about $5,000 of the capital stock has been pledged, we feel safe in say ing that it will be a go. This move in sures a boom for our city. Let our people stand together and our city will grow rapidly from this on. A Surprise Party, Last evening the numerous friends of Mr. and Mrs. Gardner, who have resided in our city for the last three years, gave them a genuine surprise bv coming in on them to the number of about fifty.

The Interna tional Woman's Congress is a remarkable success, great interest being manifested in the papers read and the proceedings of the delegates. In last evening's session Miss Frances E. Willard. of Chicago, lectured on "Woman and Temperance." Among other things she said that "God always has one more arrow in His quiver," one un wearied regiment to summon when the battle crisis comes. History affords no more salient illustration of this fact than the world uprising of women, whose or ganic form and sober second thought is the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of America and of all lands. The liquor curse finds its Nemesis in the home which it bas so long defied and trampled under foot. Woman, whatever her faults, has nevei been tbe slave of alcoholic stimulants, but comes to man's rescue in his heroic but un equal fight with his worst enemy. Its discipline is schooling her mind as mo course of study could, its pathos is broad ening out tbe mother heart to take ia all tbe world; its mighty onset is developing in her a mighty will; Us supreme exigen cies have exalted to supreme heights her faith in God. Tbe setting up of Christ's heavenly kingdom upon earth is the passion, of this new crusade. Women Knew that ne wno spue as never man spake, and in the record of whose words there is no hint tat the present ine quality of man and woman in church and state, is their best friend. They believe that when Ho shall reign, not in form, but in fact; not ecclesiastically, but by His spirit, in the world, home shall, for the first time, be the place Christ meant it should . .m. Miniiktii nf flitol an.l tninia. tare ot g,9rummt, where man and woman, 81de by 9lde saau meet and vanquish all i -. f i1..1nio "and thfis shall ' be no more curse." The Woman's Christ ! ias Temperance Union stands for this ieal, I plans for and works toward it "without haste, without rest." It toils on toward I the day when there shall be no sectarian- ism in religion, no sectionalism in politics, J no sex in citizenship. Hannah Whitehall Smith, America seo i retary of the World's Womaa'a Christiaa Temperance union, iouowea, wiuuu dress upon "The Latest Evolutioa of the W. C. T. U." She held that "All ssdera thought and effort are tending toward universal federation 01 au nations, waica, it is hoped, will oae.day control the world ia. the interest of peace."
