St. Paul’s church of Grafton, expresses his full approval of the position. The NEWS has taken on the Bennett law issue. He points out that the prohibition element favoring that law can only result in strengthening the position taken by the church people and by all liberal minded men without regard to party. The pastor quotes the closing of an article published in the Western Good Templar to which we alluded in a former number as follows: “the town (Horicon) is now cursed with several saloons, a brewery and a Lutheran church. It is made up of ignorance, superstition and drunkenness.” The pastor fully indorses our opinion as to the decision of our Supreme Court on the use of the bible in our public schools and as to praying in the legislature; he as a Lutheran, does not wish to be compelled to attend prayers by any clergymen or Jewish Rabbi. We have read several articles of Pastor WESEMANN contribute! d by him to the “Lutheraner” published at St. Louis which he kindly sent us, relating to compulsory school attendance and to school matters generally, with much interest. The gentleman shows himself to be a worthy follower of his Lord and Master, whose teachings he says, a portion of the protestant ministers only follow when it is not opposed to their own fanatical ideas on temperance and prohibition, etc. ~~~~~~~~~~~ “OFFICIAL” PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL Common Council met pursuant to last adjournment on Tuesday being the 15th day of April 1890 at 9 o’clock a.m. In the absence of the clerk, the council adjourned until 7 o’clock p.m. 7 o’clock Council met pursuant to adjournment at 7 o’clock p.m. Council called to order by the Mayor F.
