Dinner lo Tlirlr I'lipllN.
The pupils ot the DC Lang Industrial school
wcr given n surprise yesterday afternoon.
They met as usual for their Saturday's In-
structlon In the art of sewing. At 3 o'clock ,
when the regular work was over , the an
nouncement was mads that In the large as
sembly room there was < i dinner awaiting
them. With vvldopen eyes the fifty little
ones filed Into the hall , where they found
the tables already laden with the good things
which had been provided for them under
the direction of Mr nnd Mrs. De-Long , with
th assistance of Mrs. C. T. Officer , Mrs. C.
B Wcodbury. Mrs. Cram , Mrs. Mnore , Mrs.
Stacy , Miss Cousins , Miss Barnard , Miss
Wccdbury nnd others Some banquets may
be a little more elaborate , but It Is certain
tint none ever hit the right spot any better
than that one. After full Justice had bcsn
done th dinner a couple of Christmas tress
which stood at one end ot the hall were as
faulted , and In n little while crops of apples
oranges and candy had been gathered am
wcro In the possession ot the little fellows ,
Th attendance nt the school Is usuilty over
100 , but It was smaller than usual yostcrdav
owing partly to the bad weather , but mostl ;
to the entire Ignorance of the pupils that an ;
special treat was In store for them. Hai
they known It , thcr ? would not have been ai
' 'inpty chnlr. Mr. DeLong lus succeeded In
securing n firm hold on the Interest of the
children , and he 'Is now trying to think of a
scheme by which he can gain that of the
fathers , many of whom epend their Mm
and a good part of their money In the
saloons.
"I am going to arrange some sort of a
me ting with them. Wo shan't talk religion
or politics , because we should disagree , '
told he , In talking over his plan. "We
aren't going to compHIn of the man who
has n hunJred millions Just because we
haven't a cent , for the millionaire can pu
his millions away In a vault while we can'
so easily dispose of our stomachs. We Jus
want to meet and be filemlly. I wan
them to wash tho'r fices and brush up the
old clothes so they will look as well as possl
ble. A little experience gained In this line
they will not be long In choosing th > new
life. Wo can shove some religion Into
them , perhaps , ntto" we havelookoJ after
their phystcil welfare , hut we slnll no
wo-ry about that much until the fine comes. '

A week from next Monday there will bo
a rather Interesting case tried In the district
court , at Avoca before Judge Smith. It wll
bring up a question which has never yet
ben passed upan by any court. Thomas
and Timothy Healy and their mother , Mary
kept a saloon In Avoca when the prohlbltorj
law , vvltSicut any mulct attachment , was In
force. One day they ran against a snnt ,
In the shapel of an Injunction , which was
obtained by the temperance people of the
town. They were compelled to closa their
establishment , and they made , no effort to
rccpen It until the mulct law was passe J.
Then they embarked again In business , com
plying with all th ? provisions of the new
law. They supposed that by doing so ttiej
would avoid further trouble , but they were
mistaken. An Information has been filee
charging them with contempt of court , am
the case will come up fcr a hearing January
G. The question Judge Smith will have to
decide Is whether or not a compliance , with
the terms of the mulct law protects the
saloon keeper not only against t'ne prohibi
tory law now , but against the consequence
of Its Infringement when It alone was. the
law of the land. The question Is an Interest
ing one , from the fact that there are many
caloon keepers all over the state who have
been enjoined In years past , but will be will
ing to start , up again If they find the coast
clear.

In the field , Uurllngton , Knoxvllle and Man
c'ncster. At the time the matter was con
sldered by the grand lodge each of the sev

stating definitely what each would do In casl
and land donations. Upon the showing mad <
at this time the grand lodge , by unanimous
vote , decided to locate the home nt Jcffer
son. The records cf the grand lodge show
this to 'nave been the case. The committee
which the year before had bscn appointed
to personally visit the towns competing foi
the location and make a recommendation , was
continued In office with Instructions to miKe
a choice of one of the sevcinl sites offered
by Jefferson , nnd maKe a contract , providing
the city was prepared to make good tn

Informal vote , all b.lng In favor'of the sime

went to les Molnes and held a secret ses

mittee stated without rescive that Jefferson
agreed to do all that was embodied In Its
proposition before ! the > grand lodge , either
stated or Implied. After the Des Molnes
meeting It was given out that a circular
would be sent to the representatives com
posing the grand loJgo asking them If they
understood that tlie "hcme" was located at
Jefferson , nnd If they were of the same mind
at tlie present time. This circular has been
sent out , and accompanying It are the piopo-
sltlons from Jefferson and Indlanola , the
Indlanola property , apparently , having ap-
pi eclated In value since the same , was sub

was enclosed , although nothing of like char
acter concerning this city appeared. Sine ?
t'no later action of the committee became

received a large number of voluntary letters
from representatives and Influential Odd Fel
lows protesting against the action cf the
