Assyrian Curiosities. Amen Rasi, a handsome Christian Assyrian who is now lecturing in this country, says that men in his country live on six cents a day. Women are as slaves to work with oxen at the plow. In Damascus, he says, there are 150.000 Christians, 130,000 Mohammedans, and 5,000 Jews. There is in it a building haunted by John the Baptist’s ghost. The door of the room in which he is said to have been beheaded is never opened. The Mohammedans say that once long ago some one opened it and the Baptist’s blood flowed out over the city to a depth of live inches. It was the custom of worshipers to leave their shoes outside the temple. There were sometimes 300 or 400 pairs standing in a row, and the poor people hurried through their prayers first and then carefully selected the finest footwear in the row, thereby ;

AN IMPORTANT MEETING. ► ; The Citizens of Walkerton ? Aroused. A STEP IN THE RID TIT DIRECTION. A large and enthusiastic meeting of some of the best men in Walkerton was held on last Tuesday evening at the Florence hotel, to discuss waysand means for the advancement of the best interests of Walkerton and the protection of its citizens. Mr. James F. Duffy, of South Chicago, who has large interests here, called the meeting to order at 8 o’clock p. m., and read the call which was signed by a large number of our best citizens, amongst which are the following well known gentlemen: T. J. Wolfe, J. F. Duffy, John Braden, Grant Tank, J. Endly, AV. A. Endley, R. E. McDaniel, Charles Knott, James Quinn, O. F. Townsend, Edwin McCarty (marshal), John AV. I McDaniel, E. T. Henderson, George r Leslie, Edsog Quit, A. F. J.L---11 UcDaniel, S. F. Ttoss. -I. E TJoso. I : James Cook, D. W. Beall, M. Xorth- ; am, Fred Young, J. N. Reece, M. D., IS. J. Nicoles, Frank Tischer, AV. A. Dailey, John E. Akin, F. M. Ake, John W olfen burger, Joseph Fitzgerald and others. Mr. Duffy said the first business in' ■ order was the election pf a temporary I chairman. On motion and by vote Air. Nicoles was elected temporary chairman, and Marshal McCarty escorted him to the chair. On taking' the chair Esquire Nicoles, in a few well chosen remarks, thanked the citizens for the honor conferred, and he I at once plunged into the business on J hand. He said the next business in order was the selection of a temporary secretary. On motion of Air. Cook Air. ; Duffy was elected temporary secretary. ' On motion of Air. Charles Knott, seconded by Air. Quinn, the chair was requested to name a committee on permanent organization. The chair appointed the following gentlemen with power to increase their number to seven; viz., James Cook, Edwin McCarty and James L. McDaniel. It was moved, seconded ond carried that a committee of three be appointed by the ch^ir on constitution and by-laws, with power to increase to seven. Charles Knott, Edson Goit and AV. T. Rogers were so appointed. The committee on organization vm in--1 structed to procure a suitable hall for । [ the next meetwg.-tw-cirw the pe- I ; < t/tlon for more signatures. ' Air. Leslie and several other gentlemen entered at this time and asked for information in reference to the aims and objects of the organization. Air. Duffy was called upon and that gentleman very forcibly and eloqueatIly portrayed the great benefits that would accrue to the people of Walkerton from an association of its business men. He said there was hardly a city or town in Illinois of equal importance to Walkerton but what had its business men's association, its citizens' association or its improvement club. Walkerton had none, and her young men, the bone and sinew and mu. ele of her sons were compelled to seek employment in other less favored cities,' i for the lack of employment at honm, because the people had not band* d together to induce manufacturing imlus-; tries to locate in our fair city of Walk-, erton. That owing to want of perfect. organization Walkerton was a prey to , certain lawless elements, and criminals held high carnival in our midst with 1 impunity; that the time Lad come when the business men of this town I should act as one man, for their own j protection and at once alter the pres- ! ent state of affairs. Air. Leslie and ' several other gentlemen spoke on' ( Walkerton's great need of such an organization and said they were proud j* see so innuy of lio'jr m«>r» prnanri f ' •<vinA taking ku< h a det p interest inner welfare. v । .Alter a very social and pleasant ' । time the meeting adjourned to meet I; ’ next A\ ednesday evening, each member 1 I present fully determined to do his ut- , I most to advance the aims and objects | I of the association.
