Cushins. the well known temperance advocate ot Maine , Is In the city Lie' evening he delivered an address nt th First Presbyterian church before n larg audience , in which he gave his Ideas as t the control of the liquor trafilc. "List year , " said he , "the liquor tram nbiorbcd a billion dollar ? . That Is a V.IB amount of money. Piled one on top cf nn other , a billion silver dollars would mnk a pile 1.7B3 miles high.

'I have Just done threa good things , wn ? his reply ; 'I have mad ? a poor womai happy , I have pant a child on Its way to paradise , and I have gcttcn ? 7 In good monej for a counterfeit ? 10 bill. ' " Tile speaker took th ? ground that there wa ton Httlo antagonism between the ailoot keeper nnd the church member. They vol the same ticket , advocate the same llcens policy , nnd support the same whisky gov ernment. Two cf the strongest objection to the liquor traffic are that It denies th homo and corrupts the political life of th uatlon. For every foreign missionary whlcl England sends out , according to Archdeacon Jeffreys , she sends 70,000 gallons cf rum to tlio sam ? foreign field. For every convert drink claims 1,000 victims. National prohlbl tlon , he said , Is the only logical solution of th problem. It Is not enough to have the sal cf liquor prohibited In a single city or state the national government and Its courts shouh unlto In putting an end to th ; traffic , ant then Intemperance , with all Its train of evl consequences , will have to go.

Now that tha retrenchment nnd reforn movement has struck the city In Its perlodl cal way , there are a good many complaint" over the present condition of the streets Even the present condition , bad aa It Is , mlgh be endured without much difficulty If It were not for the fact that the public has a dark fiituro to look forward to In th ? rpring when the annual breaking up of the Ics am melting snow take place. Thres months ago the chain gung was abolished , In order to do away with the services of a man to lool after It. Two months ago all the men who had been working on the streets under the direction ofthe - street supervisor were discharged , In order to fave moiuy. Tim the streets might be In a passably good con dltlon next spring , It would have been neces sary to have the final roundup about two or three weeks ago , when the cold snap was fol lowed by a thaw. At that tlmo there were plenty of complaints made , and there wns good reason for them. But the complaints were socn hushed up by the setting In o another cold spell. Broadway from the corner of First street to the Northwestern depot , and Main street from Broadway to the Burlington depot , will b In a terrible con dltion In the spring.

There were large nullenc3s morning and c-vcnlng at the First Congregational church yesterday at tha services arranged with tvcclal reference to the ChMstnus time. MoJsat bpt very attractive dscoratlons graced the pulpit and organ. They consisted mainly of festoomi of evergreen , caught up with large bunches of holly. Holly was entwined about tha pulpit , and a large grouping of chrytunth.-niums surmounted one of the plat form sUnJj. In the book racks of the pcwo throughout tfio church were placed sprigs of holly to bo utilized by the ccupnnts of the nsws ny boutonnlcr.'s , or ohterwIteN as they saw fit. Th ? muilcil features of the j'rvlca wcro very flue , especially In the morning. The double qiHrtet , consisting ot Mrs. Welsh , Mlra Modn KlrUland , .Mrs. Robert - ert Mullls. Miss Porle'lleld. Messrs. F. West- cott , E. S. Allen , ' T. Askln and Charles Havert'tock rendered the antluma with In spiring effect. The offertory t'jlj by Mrs. Welsh was meet excellent. Mho GlMson at the crgan contributed her full share to the enjoyment of this part of the service. The morning sermon by Rev. Dr. Askln was on the theme , "The Service of Pag.ui Nations to Christianity. " The discourse was rich In historical picturing ? ot the manner In which even ths pagan natlras had un- wlttliiErly but surely aided In the evolution of God's plan for tha salvation cf the world. Childhood , which lo M closely linked with every thought of Christmas , waa nUo touched upon , and tlic < blessings attendant upon consecrated childhood strongly pre sented with vivid Illustrations from sacred ? nd wcula.r biography. The humiliation of Christ and the peculiar charma which his life presented were made very r r.llstlc by an eloquent climax. In which a strong con- trat't wno plctur.d between the closing accuse of the life of Herod and those of Christ. At th Broadway Methodist church last evening the choir , assisted by ether singers frcm the Sunday school , rendered a cantata e-ntltled "The Prlnc ? of Peace.

SIOUX FALLS. S. D. , Dec. 22. ( Sp3c'al. ) The short crops , which have aflllc'ej the Jim and Missouri valleys of this slat ? during t'lic past six years , seem likely to result in establishing several hundred Irrigated farms next season. One of Ihe high officials of the Milwaukee' road stated today , accord ing to reports from the road'3 agents , there are now going down along that line alone In the state 111 wells. As soon as cna well is finished and the machine released another Is begun. Double the number would ba sunk If It were possible to got the. drills. Brulo county is taking the lead In tills mat ter , and at present Is completing om well every two weeks. These wells arc- nil ot t'ne largest variety , six to eight Inches In diameter nnd 1,000 fest deep. Thy flow from 20,000 to 100,000 barrels per day. Brulo county will bs dotted next y < ur with Irri gated farms , and thu railroad expects largely Increased crops. But all the other counties along ths line of the Milwaukee In ths con trol part of the state , nre pressing tht- work , livery few days townships bond for wells , and the number of private wells Is rspldly Increasing. From the < Information In hand this gentleman estimates that there will be In the state , next year frcm 300 to 400 Irri gated farms , averaging fully a quarter sec tion. The Milwaukee Is ( ending t'ae exposi tion car Illlfd with the prcxlucta of the Hun ter farm throughout Wisconsin at the pres ent time , and everywhere It Is greeted with the llvjllest Interest. The visitors nutnbjr pcorc-3 dally , and each ono is .required to register. Later from tlmo to tlnio literature is mailed to their addresses.

I ) . , Dec. 22. ( Special. ) Since thei announcement from Washington two wec-ks ago cf the decision In favor of Sioux Falli of tlie Interstate Commerce com mission there has been a discussion whether 1'iie judgment WBS an order or a mere ex pression of opinion , and conssquently whether It would bind the roads affet-icd. A certified copy of the judgment 'iias been received. together with a syllabus of the dectilon , and the Jobbiri' association Is jubilant. The judgment orders the Great Northern road on and after January 1 to grant to Sioux Falls the same- rates from Duluth which It gives to Sioux City and other Missouri river points. This will establish this city as a MUtourl river paint , so far as Duluth goes , for the Milwaukee raid will be com- ? : lled after the new yesr to meet tfto cut. In order to do so that road must also give this city Missouri river rates from Chicago , and as a matter of course the other Chicago lues must follow. In the Chicago caie .he commission crders the Rock Island and the Burlington to make a rate to Sioux Falls not exceeding 101 ptr cent of the Sioux City rote , as against 10S per cent , which obtained before. Both decisions are manda tory. _ Nlruelc n Vein of llul Wnler. HOT SPRINGS. S. D. . Dec. 22.-Speclal.

( Special. ) A few weeks ago there was given to the picss of the slate a list of the names of soliM- , living nnd dead , who belongeJ to Iowa regiments during the late war , which It Is now proposed by the Iowa Monument commission to honor by placing upon the lown Midlers' and sailors' monument their medallion portraits. Since the ? . ' names have been made public the Orand Army of the Republic posts of the state have taken n decided stand against the placing of me dallion portraits upon the monument , and a Ions-drawn-out contest Is sure to be pre cipitated. The change U a radical one , 'but so deep- rooted has bJcomc the cMVlctlun nmon.4 the soldiers and citizens of Iowa that the oilg'nal Idea of the monument hns become very much distorted by the Influence of outside Individuals , und the chance Is demanded In .mi uncertain tone ? . The foreign growth on the original Idea wiu kimvn its the melul- lion scheme. Mc.lalll'iia of Iowa toldlers and tailors who distinguished themselves were to have be.n cast In Chicago nn 1 pliccd upon the monument.
