Mr.
Mrs. M. L. Wells.
An unusually good audience, con
sidering the inauspiciousness of the
weather, and the subject on hand
greeted Mrs. Wells at the Methodist
church Friday evening. She is a
pleasant speaker; frauk aud uneffect
ed in manner, aud thoroughly
earnest in the work in which she
engaged, and confident of the ulti
mate success of her cause. She
prepossessing with a bleudiug of the
queenly and motherly in appearance,
and from the moment she 6tcps for
ward aud the first s-intcucc falls upon
the ears of her audience, sho claims
undivided attention. gSho has the
rare tact of interesting both the old
and youDg. A greater compliment
could not be given. She is logical
and firm in her. ideas of right, show
ing a familiarity withdivino and hu
man laws rarely found iu one of her
sei- All seemed pleased aud many
impressions lor good were doubtless
made. She was rather hard on the
men, said one, but t.iis deponcut
thinks she spared not the woman
for she held them responsible for
much of the evil of the times. Wo
men, said she, set fashions aud men
follow theta. ‘‘Prohibition will come
when women are ready for it.”
Doubts arose iu our miud, but then
thought ot the indifference of
many, and the mothers who cultivate
the taste, thinking no harm of it, by
serving hraudied fruits and wine on
their tables, and the young ladies
that hold out the temptiug g!?is-i to
their friends and then laugh about its
effect. Both sexes we dare eny, re
ceived new food for thought, as the
lecture was decidedly original iu
many of its points. She is enthusias
tic as to the power of orgauized wo
manhood, and cited many instances
of good thoughts by them. Among
which was the fact that scientific
temperance text books were being
uSed in all the states, but eight,
through their influence. “The tramp
of eleven milliou children are heard
comiug up to join the temperance
army.”
“The women of the world are bound
together by a tiny while ribbon, by
which they aro pledged to work aud
pray till not a legalized dram shop
shall blot the face of land.”
She closed with a beautiful pereo
ration as to wlmt this would he when
this the greatest sin of the nations
should be blotted out.
Miss Mayhcw, of California, was iu
troduced and made a few remarks,
Green Mnjors and wife, of
Butte, Montana, came in yesterday,
and have rooms at tbe Piney Woods
“Lost in New York."
The largest and most enthusiastic
audience that Harris’ has held this
season assembled yesterday at the mat
inco aud evening performance of the
thrilling aud popular acquatie drama
“Lost in Now York." Tho play has
been seen hero on several occasions,
but never has it been put on, or pro
duced in so complete or splendid style
as it was yesterday. The scenic
cflects are magnificent, and the river
of real water, with its little steam
boat is still tho centre of attraction.
Tho company is by far the most com
pound and evenly balanced that has
yet appeared here. Mis3 Lottie Alter
the ‘Jennie Wilson’ is certainly a very
charming litt'o soubrette—one of the
cleverest of tho younger actresses we
have seen. Mr. Gus Pixley is worthy
of the name (lie is a brother of Annie
Pixley). His great characterization
of a typical tramp is a gem of charac
ter acting. Miss Florence Stover ns
tho Queen of the Blackmailers gavo
au artistic performance of a .very try
ing role, as also did Miss Scott as the
blind mother. Among tho gentle
men, Messrs. Wright, Ryno and Bah
cock were excellent, and tho whole
company acquitted itscll’crcditably.—

Pay Your Taxes.
We learn from Collector Heeth that
the number who have not yet paid
Postmaster Rike having had the in- theft taxes is larger than usual at this
date. The time is short—the 20th
inst, being positively the last day—
and we would again remind those who
have r.ot paid of the importance of
doing so before the books close.
Heretofore the number of lock box
es in the post office have been inade
quate to the demand in the winter
season. To remedy this,’ Po.'tmastcr
Rike has added about five more box
es. This, together with the repainting
and thorough cleaning up of things,
adds a marked improvement in tho
post office. Mr. Rike is giving the
beet service possible under the circum
stances.
