introduced the speaker of the evening, Mrs.'
Helen B. Harford, recently from Kansas,
who held the large audience with rapt ;,at
tention for more than an hour. 'Among the
strong points she made was this: "If there)
is as much liquor sold in Kansas, Maine,
Iowa und other states having prohibitory,
enactments, how is it that the wholesale)
l'.quor house no longer send out solicitors in
to their states as they do , in others; and.
why do these wholesale houses use so much'
money fighting every prohibitory movement'
set on foot!" ;
After singing and prayer the convention
adjourned to meet at Monroe some time in
May 1893, the time to be fixed by the ex-'
ecuti?e committee.

TRAIX WRECKERS AGAIN.'
Last week two more attempts were made)
to wreck passenger trains on the Southern
Pacific road. The first one was made near
Wolf creek, in the northern part of. Jose-,
pbine county, where rocks were laid in
piles on the track. The obstructions were
discovered and removed in time to prevent)
an accident, but the miscreants who placed
the rocks there are still at large.
The other attempt was made on the over
land near Drain, Douglas county, qn Friday
and the two men who did it were caught.' ,
The two men in question had been actingj
in a suspicious manner, ahd were closely
watched. Shortly before the arrival of the)
south bound overland train C. F. Cothard,
agent at Drain, with others, watched these!
two men, who seemed to be' tramps.. They
began piling a lot of ties upon the track at
the divide, and were allowed to complete'
their nefarious job, when they were cap
tured in the very act . , t
They gave the names of Wright and'
McCord and said they were trying to wreck'
the train because they had not been al
lowed to ride. They will no doubt be
dealt with severely and certainly deserve to'
be given the fullest extent of the law's pun-'
ishinent.
A CURE FOR CHOLERA.

Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy can be pro-,

and cure in a short time. I have tried it
and know. W. H. Clinton, Helmette, N. J.'
The epidemic at Helmette' was at first be-',
lieved to be cholera, but subsequent inves-j
ligation proved ft to be a violent, form of"
dvsentary, almost as dangerous as cholera..
This. ' Remedy was used there with great!
success. For sale by T. Graham. ,
