gle until the militia of this state are the equal
in all respects. if not superior, to that OF any
state in the Union.
One thing the men need is better uniforms

The company is to be measured for uniforms
next Tuesday evening and good attendance is
desired. This fact pleases the members i'm
mensely, for they have been ashamed of the
rags that they have been wearing for q long

for getting the members out TO drill. When the

Thomas Prior was taken into custody yester-
day by Officer Harding and charged with selling

his appearance in court today.
When Prior was arrested he had package OF

No PAYMENT of Warrant.

Nothing new has transpired in the past week
in regard to the payment of the militia for its
services at the coal mines during the recent

Haight the restaurant man has got
fairly even with the party that serena
ded him the other night with hand or
gans. Taking a fancy to the organ
carried by E. Jacobsen, Charley inno-
Gently asked permission to turn the
crank. When he got possession of it he
ran off and left Earnest minus a hand
organ. Last night Charley got Bingo on
chain and persuading Mrs. Haight to
lead the dog he started east from the
restaurant vigorously turning the crank
organ. AT Ruch's corner the process
sion stopped long enough to enter
tain the county treasurer with a
tune, to which he responded by
putting nickle in Charley's hat.
From there they moved to the front of
Jacobsen's store where Charley leaned
up against post and played for all that
was out. A good natured crowd offered
him thirty cents if he would stop dis
turbing the peace of the town, which
Charley promptly promised to do and
left thirty cents richer than when he
started out. 1t is rumored Charley is
going to start bank with the money.

The Queens Daughters as Cooks.

The queens daughters, in addition to
being excellent needlewomen, are also
good cooks. When they were children
they had little kitchen of their own at
Osborne, where they concocted all kinds
of dishes, sweets being naturally the
favorites. Here they converted into jam
the fruit out OF their own gardens, and
turned out many savory dish for the
delectation of their brothers, all of whom
had as excellent appetites as generally
appertain to boys. At least one of the
princesses still continues to cook an
occasional little dish, and has been heard
to say that she would have made an ex-
cellent chef-London Tit-Bits.

the w. G. T. U:
WHEREAS, Since last we sat together
in our accustomed place of meeting, one
of our number has gone to rest in the

and feared, therefore,
ResoIUed, That in the death of Sister
G. E. Bunnell, the members of this
union have lost and do hereby express
their sense of having lost well beloved
sister and fellow worker, friend whose
sympathy and helpfulness were unfail-

worlds and led the way" She has well
served her generation.
r esoUed, That while our hearts are
heavy as we realize that we shall see our
sister here no more, we tender our truest

in the legacy of her long and useful life
and rejoice in the thought and are
comforted in knowing that she has a
building of God, house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens.

Church ELECTION.

The Congregational church, of this
city held its annual parish meeting last
night. There were present "a persons
and the meeting was an enthusiastic and
pleasant one. The deacons elected were !:
S. L. Brooks, E. P. Roberts, r. A. Ros-
coe and A. R. Thompson, while r. A.
Roscoe was chosen trustee. Rev. w. c.
Curtis was unanimously given a call as
permanent pastor, which is a handsome
tribute to a worthy and accomplished
gentleman. The church has been more
prosperous the past year than any since
its organization and all feel that it is
because both members and pastor have
been working together for the cause of
Christ. The deacons elected are all
representative men and will be power
for good during the coming year.
Deacons Brooks and Roberts have held
these same positions for many years and
have seen the church grow from small
and struggling one to a large, fourishing
and popular congregation with the finest
edifice in the city, and with every indi-
cation that it will double it's membership p
within the next twelve months. To
these two men and their estimable wives
much of the present prosperity is due.
A thank offering of $162.50 was taken up
