At H3II at
A MKETIJfG. An important meeting of the Republican Central Committee, will be hold at 1 o'clock p. m. in the Grand Jury room next Saturday, April 3d, 138G. A full attendance is desired. Wsr. F. Browning, Chairman. Mrs. Helen M. Gougar delivered the temperance address at the
union meeting last Sabbath evening, iu the Christian church. Her subject was "Prohibition vs. High License." She took firm, bold ground against license in any form, aud showed conclusively, to all temperance men, that the new scheme of
"iiign" hceuse is a delusion auu a snare. She gave her own observation and experience in Kansas as testimony that the people of Kansas are on the sure road to a permanent settlement of the temperance question. Prohibition is a great
success in Kansas. Every brewery
in the Slate has been shut up, except otie, and it ruus only by a decision of a U. S. Judge. She gave credit to the Local Option feature
of the Illinois High License Law,
and asserted that through it, country places and smail towns were
benefitted, tho' the high license j
Icature, appealing to the enpidity of
the taxpayer, was more than an off- J
set to any good feature of the law.
She arraigned the Liquor League as one of the most powerful and
dangerous organizations of the age, aud asserted that the question of today is whether we are to have a republic of the people or an oligarchy of the saloon. The great political parties had not yet shown the manhood to resist the arrogant demauds of this liquor powsr, and unless they do, one or both of them must get out of the way. Wherever in any state one party is strongly in the majority, through that party the temperance cause has been favored. The Republicans of Iowa and Kansas and the Democrats of Georgia, Arkansas and Tennessee, have given the temperance people what they have asked for, Prohibition and Local Option; while the Democrats of Kansas and the Republicans of Georgia have sought success in alliauce with liquor. We know of no one who will deny these statements. Mrs. Gougar appealed to temperance men to prove
themselves men, and vote their principles even if their party shall desert them. She held her audience iu rapt attention for more than an hour and a half, and the suppressed applause which people felt was very expressive of thecfttct of her words. She was full of information, graceful in manner, fluent iu speech, courageous in utterance, fiery in
spirit, contagious with enthusiasm, and whether men were pleased or displeased with what she said, they acknowleged her power as a speaker. There was not much of the same old style of temperance speech about Mrs. Gougar'.
v Let no Republican forget to
vote on next Monday. The Township Trustee is the most important officer in Monroe county. See to it,
Republicans of Vau Buren and
Perry, that your ticket is elected.
The announcement of Dr. J. H. Gaston as a candidate for the
office of Treasurer of Monroe co., appears in to-day's Progress. Dr. Guston is a crippled soldier one
of his arms having been twisted out
of shape by a rebel bullet wound.
He is one of the best men iu Monroe county, and as a Republican has no superior as a consistent and zealous worker. Ho has a host of warm friends who have been waiting for bim to announce so that they might go to work in hhi behalf. His uotuination will be equivalent to an election, as no soldier would vote against a man with Dr. Gaston's record and character. , Mrs. Gougar addressed a large audience on Woman Suffrage, in College Chapel, Monday night
last. She spoke for nearly two
hours. After the speech a vote was
taken by the aud;4ncc, when suf
frage fiir women was carried by an
overwhelming vote. The few
beardless boys who voted against,
now wish they hadn't. Mrs. Gou
gar handled !r subject in n masterly way, aud yet only begun the argument on her? side. The' audience was iu active sympathy with her. Mrs. Gougar also spoke in
J Eilettsvillc, Friday aud Saturday
nights.
DON'T YOU FAIL
Saturday and Sunday as usual, were raw, disagreeable days. Jason Brown of Seymour, was in town a portion of last week. A Lodge of Knights of Pythias is to bc organized at Bedford to-night. Wilburu Cron went io Terre Haute la.it week, on a visit to his sister, the wife of Abram Whitaker. House-cleaning and cold-eateU-ing arc now the fashionable amusements among the women. Prof. Atwatct preached in the Christian Church of Mitchell, on Sunday last. Tho Bedford Mail says that
the case of Matt. James will be set down for trial at an adjourned term of court in April. Paris Sylvester has bought James Sylvester's property at Smith -ville, and James will move over to the State of Greene. Sam. Hannah has moved his family into the Sears house, in the northeastern portion of town, and will go to Kansas soon. Auditor Alexander is making preparations to build a house on
the ground purchased by him near the Cookerly residence. Eld. Phillputt preached at Mitchell, Sunday a week for the congregation of the Christian church. Prof. J. C. Branner of this place delivered his lecture on Brazil in the Meridian st. church of Indianapolis last Wednesday night. Judge E. K. Mill en.and D.O. Spencer the legal phouographer, went to New Albany Saturday evening ou business of a professional nature. West Bloomington is booming right ahead without regard to weather. Four houses are now in course of contraction, and contracts have
been closed for others. Alfred Graham's eyes have been seriously affected by the attack of brain fever with which he suffered this winter, and he has gone to Cincinnati to submit his case to Dr. Williams. The Republicans of Richland tp. held a convention to nominate candidates, on Saturday last. The
meeting was large and enthusiastic, and was presided over by Capt. G. K. Perry. A number of county candidates were present. A full ticket was nominated, which may be seen by reference to the Township Tickets printed in another column. Mrs. Anderson, a widow lady whose residence is in the northeastern portion of town met with a very serious accident last Thursday. She was walking on the back porch of her residence when she slipped aud fell, breaking one of her hips at the socket bone. Drs. Harris and Axtel gave the unfortunate lady surgical aid and she is now as comfortable as could be expected, though at times suffering greatly. By reference to our announcement column to-day it will be seen that K. E. Mathers is a candidate
for nomination to the office of Sheriff of Monroe county. Mr. Mathers was born and raised in Monroe
county, and when a mere boy, not
quite seventeen, he enlisted iu the
army, rte servea in tour regiments ,
and was commissioned Captain before he was twenty years of age. His comrades know him to be a generous, brave and reliable man, and will rally round him in convention. As a liberal and fair
stock buyer he is noted all over
this and adjoining counties, his acquaintance is general and his friends many. If Newt, is nominated he will make a personal canvass the kind that tells every time. From a report of the Secretary
of the Monroe County S. School
Union, B. F. Adams jr., the fol lowing items of interest to Sabbath school workers are gleaned : Number of Sunday schools in the county, ;I0; the number of officers and
teachers, 207 ; number of .cholars enrolled, l.SOC ; average attendance, 1,333 j amount collected for missionary aud benevolent objects, $180 j amount expended fjr county

OL Barton has gone to Paducah, Ky., to work on the Chesapeake & Ohio railway. Geo. W. Cable will deliver the last lecture of the course in Bloomington, on the 19th of April. A number of school teachers
from Stanford and vicinity have!
gone to Valparaiso to attend the Normal school in that place. Geo. Elliott, a Bedford grocer of six years experience, made an assignment last week. A man can always do something in business at Bedford if he can't make mouey he can make an assignment. The lecture of Henry Ward Beeclier is now set for April 3d, at College Chapel. It will be the event of the year, and will draw an immense crowd. John Cole sold a pair of fine driving mulesjaat week,that weighed 2,400 lbs , and a horse that weighed 1,550 lbs. to Gates & Warner, Indianapolis, for $450. Tim. Starks, at one lime a well known stock dealer and wealthy
man of Morgan county, with two of
his sons-in-law, Dupree and Sanders,have gone to Kansas with their families. Jean Adkins is making preparations to produce the Comic Opera, "Polly." Rehearsals are now being had regularly, and Mr. A. expects to be 'able to give the opera to the public in three weeks. Henry Stiaipson, formerly of
Ellettsville, but now a citizen of Indianapolis, has been visiting Henry Eller and other friends in Bloomington during the past week.
Mr. Stimpson ia slowly recovering from an attack of lung fever.
The impression having in
some manner got out that Mr. Jonathan Nicholson is a resident of
Bloomington tp. he desires that this
be corrected, as he resides in the township of Perry, and must be so
considered as a candidate for Coun
ty Recorder. People from many of the neighboring towns, notably Bedford and Terre Haute, crowded about the Corner Clothing store, Saturday, to secure some of those free hats. They were dude hats and are all the rage now "in the swim.." Roseberry & Cron bought eleven head of stall-fed steers of Lewis Weimer, last week, (3 years past), at 4.25 per cwt. They were very handsome cattle, and their average weight was 1,250 lbs. They were driven to Clear Creek Station, and from thence shipped to Ciuciannti. On Thursday, March 2oth, James Sowdcrs of Lawrence county was married in Polk tp., Monroe county, to Miss Clara D. Norman. Miss Norman is well known as a popular teacher, and a young lady of education and refinement. Prof. Neill of Ellettsville, kas become a partner in the "Citizen' of that town, and the firm will pub

"What would you do in time of war if yon had the suffrage?" asked Horace Grecly of Mrs. Stanton. "Just what you have done, Mr. Creel y ; stay a. home and urge the others to go and fight," replied the lady.
