Another public surrender and another pouring into the street of a larger stock of liquors than on the day before, and more intense excitement and enthusiasm.

In eight days all the saloons, eleven in number, had been closed, and the three drug stores pledged to sell only on prescription.
"Early in the third week the discouraging intelligence came that a new man had taken out license to sell liquor in one of the deserted saloons, and that he was backed by a whisky house in Cincinnati to the amount of five thousand dollars to break down this movement.

On Wednesday, 14th of January, the whisky was unloaded at his room.

About forty women were on the ground and followed the liquor in, and remained holding an uninterrupted prayer-meeting all day and until eleven o'clock at night.
The next day--bitterly cold--was spent in the same place and manner, without fire or chairs, two hours of that time the women being locked in, while the proprietor was off attending a trial.

On the following day, the coldest of the winter of 1874, the women were locked out, and remained on the street holding religious services all day long.
