AKE TO UK DEBATED At the Club's Next Session in January They'll be Thoroughly Discussed.

At the meeting of the Prohibition Club Friday evening tho fo.lawing resolutions were introdured. They will be discussed at length at the next meeting of the club which will be held on the third Friday evening in January. The resoluticns were as follows: We declare that the success of.th temperance cause and the welfare of the nation demand a speedy political union of all who are opposed to tho saloon and its allied evils. This bsue which has been rejected by the great body of Christian and temperance voters is the chief cornerstone of civil and political reform. The only deliverance for our nation not only from the liquor evil but also from other allied evils as well lies in a political union of the moral elements of the nation, with the suppression of the liquor traffic as the dominant Issue.

Tho Republican and Democratic par ties have adopted a silent, hypocritical, double dealing, fast and loose policy in dealing with the liquor problem, and are therefore not worthy of our support. The Prohibition party, being the only party that is true to our cause Jg entitled to our we tec-ognize that there are other great questions and other great evils which are important and therefore demand our attention and concerning which wea practically agreed and therefore leave us without excuse for ignoring them. We believe in the fundamental doc trine of our government, equal rights to all and special privileges to none, and that therefore the right of suffrage should be denied to no one on account of sex. War is inhuman, cruel and barbar ous and we deplore the fact that our roimtrv is eneaecd In a war or con quest in the Philippines. Our difficul ties with other nations snouia aiwn.vs be settled by arbitration if possible.

The present tendency of cur government toward militarism and imperialism is fraught with danger to our republic. We declare that these issues are par-nmonnt in imnortance to the welfare of our nation and in order that these questions may be settled right, an true patriots should for the time being drop the discussion of such economic issues as have been a bone of contention between them and unite to establish such principles of righteousness aa weag ee are needed to exalt our nation and overthrow the sin and inquity which a reproach to our people. n. nromnt and posi tive cure for sick headache, biliousness. nnoHnatinn nnin in the side, and all liver troubles.

Tho Sioux City Tribune has the following regarding the extending of the Postal Telegraph line from Sioux City to Sioux Falls. The present cold snap will likely put a stop to setting posts on the Sioux City-Omaha line and the crew will be transferred to this work Just as toon as the insulators arrive: "The crew of fifteen men sent to Sioux City from Chicago to string a wire to Sioux Falls for the Postal Telegraph and Cable company found the insulators had not arrived from New York and the mild condition of the weather permitted them to go to Mon-' daiiiin. to continue the work of re-Betting the poles on the line between Sioux City and Omaha. This work I was begun a year ago last summer and i it has been discontinued through the I winter seasons. The work was startud at the Sioux City end of the line.

The I first summer the line was re-establish- ed as far as Salix. Last summer it was continued to Mondamln along the Northwestern railroad. "The workmen will continue during the present mild weather until the insulators arrive for the Sioux Falls line, which will be in a few days. The new line to Sioux Falls will be built on the poles of the Northwestern Telephone I company. It will require about 5,000 lot the glass insulators, which will make between 40 and 50 barrels.

The Western Electric Telephone company, of Britt, Iowa, Friday, December 20 purchased from the Iowa and Nebraska Telephone company the entire property of the latter company, the same consisting of three hundred miles of telephone lines in northwestern Iowa and southwestern Minnesota; also the local telephone exchanges at the following towns: Estherville, Spirit Lake, Sibley, Sheldon and Cherokee.

The outsido limits of the Iowa and Nebraska lines are Estherville, Rock Rapids, Rock Valley, Sheldon, Primghar, Helena, Renisen, Cherokee, Storm Lake, Laurens, Grenvllle and intermediate points in Iowa, with Bigolow and E'lsworth in Minnesota. The line described is a complete wiring of eleven counties in northwestern Iowa in addition to the lines that enter Minnesota, The local exchanges referred to have about one hundred subscribers each, with the exception of the Sheldon exchange which has about two hundred. The Western Electric Telephone company is operating at the present time twenty-seven hundred miles of line in Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota. The officers of the company are as follows: Thomas A. Way, president: Stltzel X.

Way, vice president; E. P. Healy, treasurer; T. A. Potter, general manager, and B.

C. Way, secretary. The Iowa and Nebraska telephone property was valued at about one hundred thousand dollars and was owned by A. B. Funk, of Sprit Lake; James A.

Smith of Osage; W. W. Prichard, Spirit Lake; Skewis Rock Valley; W. A. Baker, Decorah, and B.

Van Steenberg, Spirit Lake. The Western Electric company is to take possession of the property purchased on January 1, 1901. The Western Electric Telephone company has the largest mileage of any independent telephone company in the United States. While they are an independent company, the stock of the company is owned largely by the officers and directors of the company. They have contracts with the Bell Telephone Company and use Bell telephones and switchboards on their lines.

By making this arrangement they are able to get connection with the Bell Company's lines at junction points. This has proven to be a very satisfactory arrangement and has ad It is my wish, and that of the opera company, that the Weber piano shall be used at the opera house next season as heretofore. The magnificent Concert Grands you sent have more than confirmed the impression that in tone quality, power and carrying capacity, the Weber has no superior in the world. The leading artists of the company have privately expressed to me their delight In the instruments furnished for their use, and it is the unanimous verdict that for concert work, as well as for accompanying the voice in singing, the Weber piano is unequalled.
