They will speak for themselves far better than we can describe them.

What thought sinks deeper in the heart than that ofmothers The wayward thoughtless boy, the stout hearted man treading the paths of vice and debauchery, the women lost to all self respect or care for laws, moral or divine, will soften and weep bitter tears when some incident recalls a mother's love, her oft repeated advice, admonitions, en treaties and prayers. Jesus! Mother! sweetest words ever uttered. Mothers, wives and sisters do you realize how much depends upon you at this time? Who exerts such an influence in the home, society and state. Are you doing you" duty here in your city where the Prince of Evils with his court holds high carnival. The pious have prayed for better government and the moral have deplored the bad state of things.

The Good Book teaches us that prayer and work go together. The time to act is near at hand. Think of the loved ones, fathers, brothers, lovers, daughters and sisters. Think of the temptations all about us. Will you banish them? "Right is might." 1 appeal to you women, wives and daughters to take a decided stand.

Come out of the passive into the active voice with a demand that our laws be enforced, exercise your right of suffrage at the polls in the election of officers who pledge themselves to drive the joints, the dives and places of infamy and disrepute out of our midst. Or will you stay at home and take no interest in the selection those who are to rule this city the next two years. You are citizens and as such responsible for your opportunities and privileges. Let nio urge you women to go to the polls April 7th and cast your ballot tor God and Homo and Pittsburg. Mrs.

Dr Wilbur. Catholic Ball.

After which they continued their dancing until about two o'clock when they were warned by the Homo, Sweet Home waltz that it was time to leave the scenes of pleasure for their homes. The Knights realized a neat little sum, after paying all expenses, and were financially as well as socially pleased with the evenings receipts and pleasures. The Minstrels. A large audience greeted Goodyer, Elitch Schilling's minstrels at the Tacoma theatre last night, and the performance was pronounced one of the best of the kind ever seen here The olio contained several novel features, and the company has many splendid vocalists, notably the Bent ley Brothers, whose imitations of organ, banjo, brass band, steam calliope, exceedingly clever Charley Schilling was great in his musical comedy act; Olivette, the famous French juggler and shadow graphist, is in the very front rank while the Leondor Brothers, in their gladiatorial groupings and feats of strength were unapproached.

This is not caused by poverty as the man owns his property and makes good wages, but it is filth and ignorance The health officers 6hould look after them. If our city council would only fall i 1 line while the spring improvements are being made and have our alleys cleaned, the water closets re paired and moved, board awnings pulled down and appoint a health officer, to examine the alleys, stables, hog pens, in the residence part of the city, things would bejrin te put on a new appearance and every body would feel better, especially when they are showing their friends over the city.

A runaway occurred this afternoon in the east part of town. John Pennington, a farmer living six miles east of the city, was coming to town with produce, and when near the crossing east of town his team frightened at a hand car and started to run. He held them until one of the lines broke, and then jumped out of the wagon. The team made a run for town, but were caught near the Missouri Pacific depot by some farmers who were leaving town, and heid until Pennington came up. After investigating it was found that all the damage done was breaking four dozen eggs and a jar of butter.

The butter being in pound rolls and securely wrapped, was uninjured. The farmer consoled himself with the remark that "Easter ivas past, and eggs didn't amount to much no how." The old board sidewalk in front of the Manufacturers' bank has been taken up and the earth leveled for an artificial stone walk which will make another improvement worthy of comment, and several new awnings are being put up to add to the appearance of our business streets among which are Forbes' confectionery, Home Bakery and Eubank's restaurant, which shows that our business men are preparing for business and aro aware that Spring is near.
