Leading of th? City. Lcneh Cannter. Two Interesting Letters Showing How 3Iintls 3Iay Differ. Mr. II.

S. Close, formerly ct Highland, but for the last three years of this township, was extensively engag ed in the manufacture of pure apple ealer from real apples, and had an enormous mill that would grind and press near a hundred wason loads of apples a day. On account of the light crop of apples for the last two years he had not operated it, but this year the apple crop is so flattering that he has again erected it with a view- of making pure cider and vinegar. Those who had been fortunate in using his vineg ar in this county will be pleased to know that they can again procure it instead of the commercial article called vinegar manufactured from drugs and acids. We had hoped that Mr.

Close would erect his mill here, but the extent of apple orchards here would hardly warrant it at present. The result of re-erectiug his mill at Highland seems to have brought out sentimental opposition which is shown by the following letters: Mk, II. S. Close: You don't know how sorry the best citizens of Highland are that you are putting up a cider mill in our midst. It can bring us no good and your interests will suffer.

We have had this evil to contend with before, and it was a temptation to our boys and young men, and even older men have been led to neglect and abuse their families from its use. All the cider we need for our own community, for vinegar and apple butter, can be made by the cider mills which are already in our community. If you are a christian, you surely feel that God does not want our fruit which He gives us turned into a poison to ruin onr children. Yinegar is useful, but how much of the cider is used as a drink, and while we feel sure you would try to control its use. you could not do so.

Don't worry for fear our W. C. T. IT, organization will do anything but what is lawful and right. We try to protect our boys, but we ask direction and help from One who 3)as promised to "guide us unto all We are pledged to defend our homes, and we want to do our duty in this and every other line.

Think of the young people who may come here to school, our own children, your standing, and your re- sponsibility to God, and don't put temptation in the way of the weak and faltering onos. If you bring your family into our community, surround them by good influences aud let us stand together in building up the morals and christian standing of cur town. Remember that what we do as a society is done with no ill will. It is to protect your own, as well as onr own families. Respectfully, Mns.

KEFLYi To Mus. Your epistle of the -Sth received, and I feel very highly complimented, and thank ygu for your kindness for trying to advertise my mill. You say, "It will bring us no good." Be not discouraged, because a great deal of good came out of Sodom. You say, "My own interests will suffer." I will pray the Lord that the weakminded christian women will not disgrace themselves, nor be misled by a few still weaker-minded men, to commit any rash act that they might repent of it in the future. You say, "You have had similar temptations In reply I would say that "The evil heart thinketh evil," and that Christ had manj false accusers.

You say. "God doesn't want the fruit turned into poison to ruin your May God bless the trood children of Highland, and guide their wandering steps, and you inaj' rest assured that they will not get anything intoxicating at my cider mill, for there never will be any hard cider about my mill, as I have a process by which it can be kept sweet, besides I will boil down the cider and ship it iiay tiuti. iirn jl Lii" mm there will r.ot be one drop left in Highland to demoralize the children, nor even older men. that yon speak of. You say.

"Your society will do nothing but what is lawful." Women are not good lawyers, and we have as many unlawful women as men, but they quently go unpunished on account of their being a weak-minded and unprotected sex. And I would say that many who claim to be guided by the Lord and his teachings, vary from the path of rectitude. You say, "You are pledged to protect your homes etc." Yes. it is our duty to do right to ourselves and to God; but it is not right to wrongfully accuse your neighbor; neither is it right for a band of weak ladies to gather together and wrongfully accuse their neighbors of some imaginary evil. I pray, do not be like the Pharisees, who stood on the four coners of the st-rPPt.

It was after the enactment of the prohibitory law and when every energy of the temperance advocates, and among them the writer, was required to suppress the illicit dram shop, when to the disgust of ourselves and a few others there was a sentimental clamor inaugurated by some formerly of Indiana women aa imaginary enemy cider," which they declaimed with apparent conviction to be "the devil's kirdling wood." The protest against perverting the temperance organization into such a channel of narrow intoilerance was useless and the statement that it was making a mockery of a serious matter the suppression of the saloon busi ness) was met with the clinching state- ment that "you ought to hear Malloy talk; she would show you." So positive was their sentiments on this question that Mrs. Maloy was; brought to Kansas and domiciled at Washington largely to lecture us on the question of temperance and to parade the dangers of cider and "the devil's kindling wood," and the bane- ful influence of that licentious adventuress and her brazen companions in sin and wickedness were for a long time condoned and excused because of her sentimental harrangues against "cider." But that kind of temperance work and such narrow intoilerance was damaging to the cause and if the temperance sentiment in this couutv is not is strong as it should be it is largely because of the pettishness and capricious disposition of the would be temperance leaders of the county.

Mr. Paris is a prominent citizen of the county and lias twice served as trustee of his township being elected by a fair majority while the opposition carried the township on most of the offices. lie is an industrious farmer toiling with his own hands, yet has found time to pay attention to public matters in which he takes great interest, lie is well educated, having attended Howe's Academy at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, for two years and taken a course at Spalding's Commercial College at Kansas City, and is a great reader of current literature. He served his country for two years during the rebellion, having enlisted in the 11th Illinois Cavalry while a mere boy.

He is a gentleman of the strictest integrity and honor and will have the hearty support of the republicans of his own and adjoining townships who believe that he is fully competent for the position to which he aspires and that in the recognition of the farming element of the party no better choice could be made than that of Mr. Paris. A. J. Pr.EEuoiix is a candidate for the republican nomination for Super- intendent 'of Public Instruction.

C. Young of Barnes township is announced as a candidate for the office of clerk of the District court subject to the decision of the republican county convention. Mr. Young has resided near Barnes for over twenty-four years and has been a prominent citizen of that part of the county. Tie is an ardent republican and a wheel horse and is well known throughout the county having frequently represented his township on the delegation to the republican conventions.

He is a gentleman of good education and a proficient accountant and has been successful in all his business affaiis as a farmer and stock raiser on an extensive scale. He is a distinguished member of several of the fraternal societies and has spent much time in cultivating the workings and object of the orders and has in this way formed a strong bond of friendship among those with whom he has thus been associated. He served three years in the Union army as a member of the 100th X. Y. Infantry and has always manifested a strong sympathy for the rights of his comrades in the defence of our nation's honor.

His friends insist that Mr. Young will receive a nattering support from Barnes township and the south eastern part of the county and claim that this locality should be recognized on the ticket as no other portion of Washington county has made a more gallant and suc cessful fight for the republican party than Barnes township. Afteu several years' characteristically deliberate consideration, the Dutch government has at length announced its determination to undertake the reclamation of that immense bay or inland sea known as the Zuyder Zee. The collossal nature of the project will be understood when it is remembered that the sheet of water is about 00 miles in length and 1210 in circumference. Of this it is proposed to reclaim SCO, 000 acres, the value of which is estimated at about Si50.oO;LUOO.
