Capt. L. L. Janes returned to Ann Arbor in time to spend Thanksgiving day with his charming family of five children. During hia absence in Ohio he delivered sixteen temperance lectures in three weeks, and Ohio papers speak very highly of them. The Iron Valley Reporter says : " His addresses are quite different from any we have heard. They are almost entirely statistical, philosophical, argumentativa, and historica!, and are emotional in but a slight degree. He appeals to the reaaon andcommon senseof his audiences, instead oL pumping tears by recital of affecting incident8. Hè does not abuge the drunkard or belabor the saloon." Capt. Janes seems to be a temperance worker of a practical kind "from way back." When in comraand of a military post on the Pacific coast in the GO's he establiehed some wholesome regulations relative to the use of liquor, and his command fl lurished. He says that he is substantially in accord with the views of The Register relative to prohibition as expressed last week.
