Wednesday evening, a merry party
of Maidenites, were gathered up with
sleighs and driven to the pleasant Rome
of our esteemed citizen, G. w. Gardner,
who resides midway between Maiden
and An~dersonville. That it was clearly
a surprise is evident from the fact thai
Mr.. G. had retired, but this was owing
mainly to a severe cold. The sudder
appearance Of so many friends how
ever, was sufficient to drive away cal
the ills that flesh is heir to-" and he
soon became one of the liveliest Of thu
happy throng. Dancing and card play
ing was the programme of amusement
terminating with an elegant oyster
supper. The party, after several hours
of unalloyed pleasure, and urgent invi
tations to "come agian," returned t.
Maiden about midnight.

Lots of fun at the h~alf-breed dances.

Mineral Bill has, not as yet, reached
the Coeur d'Alenes. He got stalled at
Spring creek.
Perry Jacoby, q young man who has

friends here.
A trio of couples from Spring creek
with several others from Rock, Beaver
and Cottonwood creeks, got mp a very
pleasant surprise on Mrs. ID. L. Shafer,
of Cottonwood, last night. A very
enjoyable time was reported by all
present.
While an escort Of soldiers were over
here last week with a vehicle to take
some of the girls over to their dance at
the post, some miscreant unscrewed
and threw away the nut from the axle
of their conveyance. Fortunately the
wheel slipped off on a good piece OF
road. and before the vehicle was loaded;
so no great damage was done. The
perpetrator of this dastardly piece Of
meanness whoever he may be- has the
satisfaction of knowing that he Is held
in contempt by all who know OF the
affair. Whether to characterize the
fellow as a knave or a fool, is an open
question with somei but it is generally
conceded that he filed both characters
to perfection. We trust that the next

the country that he viii not neglec. to

She is sleeping meath the clover on the hillside;
Yes, softly sleeping, deaths eternal sleep.
And at twilight, when the birds their nests are
seeking,
From her suffering and pain she has departed
TO that land where the weary at rest;
Then, oh, why should we sorrow for our darling?
When we know she is happy with the blest.
Bnt when the sound of her voice, now hushed
forever.
Is never heard throughout the lvelong day.
The memories of the past rise up and haunt us,
And we mourn for our loved one passed away.
Pure and gentle as an angel fresh from Heaven
Soothing us in trouble and in pain,
Can II be that she will never, never bless us
With her bright presence here on earth again?
Will that loving voice no longer greet us
When we reach our darling's door once morey
Will she never smile again to meet us
AS she did in the happy days beforef
o, Jessie, in that happy land we dream Of
Your companions angels, ever bright and fair,
Remember those dear ones left behind you
And pray to Him that we may all meet you there.

And Death shall beckon with his shadowy hand
To guiGe us TO that bright and blessed land.

Most respectfully,

CATLIN'S TOBACCO-It gives us
much pleasure to be able to state-and
''we know whereof we speak, - that
consumers can buy a really choice arti-
Gle of Fine Cut Chewing Tobacco from
Lancaster dealers. Ivey & Webb, j.
A. Drew, Wenzel & Auchter, and Joe
Nathan. have laid in a stock of Catlin' S
golden THREAD" which we have
''tried our mettle'' on and can honestly
say is rich fullbodied lasting chew
that does not go to peices in the mouth
and from its durability will prove an
actually cheaper chew than lower priced
goods. The same dealers, and also
Messrs. Jno. Schreiner and c. J. HYDE.
have a stock of Catlins "MEERCHAUM''
Smoking Tobacco. "Meerschaum" is
choice graduated goods made from old
North Carolina leaf. 1t does not bite
the tongue, is itch, pleasant smoke,
and is retaied at the very reasonable
price of ten cents quarter pound. Mr..
Heldcroft the agent of the company,
says that during nearly thirty years the
Catlin Tobacco Company and its i'm
mediate predecessor, Daniel Catl1n, of
st. Louis. have never given alleged
gifts or prizes of any kind TO force the
sale of their brands, but aim to place
the best article that can be made before
the consumer at the lowest possible
price, and trust solely to the merits of
it tor popularity. The Catlin Tobacco
Company is the largest fine cut chew
ing and smoking establishment in the
United States.

DR.. Hatfield ON the Prohibition Party.

Rev. DR.. r. NJ. Hatfield preached in
the First Methodist Church, at Chicago,
Sunday evening on 1.-The Duty of the
Prohibitionsts. The formation of
third party, he said, was regarded by
many of the friends of temperance as
ill advised, and far more likely to do
harm than good. 1t had no expecta-
ton of success, and its avowed purpose
was to punish another party for its
failure to accede to the demands of the
frohibltlonlsts. At present three
fourths of the Prohibtionists belonged
to the party referred to. 1t had not
done its whole duty, and it had many
sins to answer for But was the result
to be obtained a good one? There
seemed no good foundation for the ac-
ton of the third-party organizers in OPP
posing the Republican party because of
any imperfection. Voters were told in
dogmatic manner that they must
support the Prohibition candidate. That
was cool, to say the least. There was
prohibition in Maine, Kansas and Iowa
In not one of those States had the
organization of third party been
found necessary. In Iowa some per-
sons had endeayored to form Prohibi-
ton party, but the great mass of Pro-
hibitionists there had risen in protest
against the action. Had it been taken,
the great purpose of all might have
been defeated. 1t was the history of
prohibition that it came of the party
with which majority of the friends of
temperance affiliated. Talking of
speedy and effectual prohibition was
nonsense. In the judgment of a ma
jority of the friends of the cause the
new departure was blunder. IL in
Illinois the number of votes polled for
the Prohibition candidates war too small
to affect the general result, it would be
taken as evidence of the weakness of
the friends of temperance. If the gen
eral result was affected and that other
party punished, as proposed, would it
be terrorized into submission to the
dictum of the Prohibitionists? 1t was
absurd to suppose that, if the party in
question was defeated, any prohibitory
laws would be enacted by the party in
power. The speaker concluded by say
ing that as to the present situation the |
lesson deduced from history is that the /
formation of the Prohibition party would |
not promote the cause of temperance; /
that it was likely to cause harm by Civ I
ing rise to dissention and leading to the /
election of men to Office who were OPP
posed to temperance legislation
