FOR CHARITY,
Was the Ball Thursday Evening Civ
en- by the w. r. @.

Thursday night scene of rare gayety
and splendor was in progress at the Rink
Opera House-the event of the Charity Ball
given by the estimable ladies of our Relief
Corps.
The Rink was beautifully decorated, the
orchestra submitted its best selections, the
ladies wore every conceivable dancing Co.'S
tunes and of course looked correspondingly
pretty and enhancing, the gents deported
themselves well-and withal the affair was an
ideal one.
During the intermission supper was served
at the Grand Army Hall which was partaken
of with thanks by the merry pleasure hunt
ers.
To the Relief Corps ladies is extended
thanks by all those who participated in this
most enjoyable treat. The ladies have long
enjoyed reputation for attaining unquali-
fed success in giving dances and this last
effort has in no way injured their prestige
as entertainers. In fact, it must be ac-
knowledged that the women of our land are
eminently successful in any thing they under
take. This belief was common one at
close of the war when the vast work done by
the Relief Commission was noted-when it
was ascertained that this commission did as
much toward the victory Of our armies as
any other one agency outside the ranks.
History from the date of the war has added
grandly to this record and now the Relief
Corps in emulation Of the efforts of the
Commission has taken up the good work of
charity and relief with the purpose of thor
oughly establishing an organization with
these worthy ends always guiding star.
Famine and pestilence exists in time of
peace as in war and it is in realizing
this fact and a desire to aasuage many
severe trials in Napoleon and vicinity that
the Charity Ball of last Thursday was given.
May the W. R. @. live long and continue
in the good it has inaugurated.

A LA ROMANCE I!
A Napoleon Up. Lady Furnishes Ma
terial For a Prime Novel.
Happy Marriage of Deputy sheriff
McGrade and Mrs. Clara
Rakestraw.

The following from the Spokane
WASH ReUteW will prove highly in
teresting to our readers. Mrs. Rake
straw's maiden name was Shelf, her
mother residing in southern Napoleon
township:
A marriage not without fine flavor
of romance was celebrated in the par
lors of the Pacific hotel yesterday after
noon, when Mrs. Clara Rakestraw
gave her hand and heart into the
keeping of stalwart T. ]. McGrade, of
Kalispell.
Nearly two years ago Mr.. McGrade
was deputy sheriff of Kootenai county,
Idaho. AS minion of the law he was
one day deputized by his superior to
ride out into the country and eject
from piece of property his present
wife and her husband. He did so, but
the two at once moved again into their
cabin. A second time he was forced
to go to the cabin and eject the man.
His wife, a sweet-faced and very timid-
looking woman, attracted the atten-
ton of the deputy sheriff at once, and
when he went out for the third time
to drive them out of their home. her
sweet face and appealing looks soften
ed his heart and he rode back to town
announcing to the Sheriff that ''he' be
id jfhe did anything of the kind.n
A week later Mrs. Rakestraw left her
husband for good reasons and went
back to the home of her father in

WILL We GET. IT?
Prospects of Napoleon Possessing a
Paper Mill,

We are always eager to hang the latch
string on the outside TO prospective manu-
factories locating in our town, hence it is
with alacrity that we publish the substance
cf a communication received by us from
the John Single Paper Company, Syracuse,
N. Y.
The tone of the letter suggests that the gen.
'tlemen in question are seriously contem-
plating the establishment Of a paper mill at
Napoleon. They submit number of queries
touching on our facilities for such an enter
prise; our water power; our wheat and rye
producing capacity; railroad facilities; mag
nitude as a trading center, etc, ETC., to all of
which we, of course, told facts, which with
in themselves are sufficient.
As site for just such plant, "we are out
of sight" No better water facilities can be
afforded; our statistics warrant us in as
serting that the county alone produces near
ly million bushels of wheat and half again
as much rye. This, combined with the pro-
duction of large portion of our sitter coun-
ties, would furnish ample straw for any
plant, however great its capacity.
1t is with no little expectancy that we
await reply to our proposition to the firm
to come and size up our all round facilities
for their purpose.

Family Reunion.

HARRISON TP., Dec. 26, '02.
A pleasant time was had at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Peter Reed on Christmas. 1t
had long been their desire to have their
children all home together, but it seemed
their wish could never be realized until this
year, when. their children came to the con-
clusion they would give their parents a sur
prise by all going home on Christmas. So
on,Sunday morningthey began gathering and
grandpa began to count, and was surprised
to find he had so large family and could
hardly believe his eyes. There were three
children, one son-in-law, 12 grand children,
and great grand children; besides those
that were present he has two grand children
and two great grand children that were alb
sent. These number in all IA grand child
rem and great grand children. The whole
number present was 26. A bountiful dinner
was prepared, in which oyster soup played
prominent part. All seemed to enjoy their
Christmas, and none seemed more happy
than grandpa and grandma, to have their
children: once more around the hmoe table.
''Then ring out the bells for Christmas.
Every heart to cheer;
Ring, ring, the bells for Christmas,
Itcomes but once year,"

TERRIBLE!
Is the Fate That overshadows Rev.
Stull and Family.

Rev. j. O. Stull, pastor of the Evangelical
church of this place, fell dead Monday even

sudden death was heart failure.
The details of his death and surroundings
are the most narrowing and will not be here
dwelled upon to any length. Suffice 10 say;
About 10 days since Mrs. Stull gave birth
a child and since that time both mother and
infant have steadily declined and Monday
their deaths were hourly expected. The
Reverend with care and anxiety had lost
much needed rest. Monday afternoon the
mother became much worse and the Rever-
end hurried after the doctor.
Returning he complained of feeling badly
and thought he would lie down for few
minutes. He had hardly touched the bed
when his heart refused to act and death fol-
lowed almost instantly.

( Oh, MIKE!
When will you EscheH Youthful
FrailtieS, and
Deprive a Public Of Gossip and a Court
OF Your Presence ,..

Again is the illustrious Mike Cramer likely
to be the object of public attention and
private speculation. He has been repeated
ly subject of comment both in and out of
court and although Mike is getting pretty
well along in years, he seems not to heed his
approach to habitation of the ETHEREAL at
no distant date; he basks in the happiness
of being parallel case with the virgins
whose coal oil gave out before the BRIDE
groom made his appearance.
Yes, Mike is again in trouble; or rather is
it revival of his old misfortune.
Monday suit was filed against him for
divorce by his wife, Lydia E. Cramer, in
which the plaintiff speaks right out in meet
ing, touching on Mikes frailties.
She says she is the lawful wife of Mike
and that she is a resident on her own twenty
acre farm in Flatrock township. She alleges
that since 1879 her hubby has lived continu-
ously with'one Lucinda Bates, and that the
outcome of such unholiness to be five
illigitimate children.
1t seems that Mike has recently purchased
the historic and picturesque Gerty's island,
five miles up the river, on which he resides,
while his Lucinda inhabits Flatrock
township farm. Neighbors say that it is
nip and tuck to tell which farm she occu-
pies-viththe preponderance of evidence in
favor Of the island.
The petition further AYERS that plaintiff is
the mother of three children by defendant,
on whom she depends for livelihood and
that defendant persists in extorting their
wages from them. She asks that divorce
and alimony be granted her.
Mike is an old offender in his line of mis-
demeanor, his appearance before bar of
justice on such. charge dating back nearly
quarter of century.
His paramour is and has long been before
the public for censure and the fact that she
has received it in most liberal quantities
does not tend to lead her in closer relation
with Sunday schools. She is incorrigible,
and the law should dispose of her, or at least
take the unfortunate FIVE children from in
fiuences so damaging.

Sub ROSA.

While we hesitate in pr oclai ming, the fact
remains glaring one. that great majority
ofour youths just merging into manhood in
Napoleon are tough. They are tough fgur-
atively and literally speaking; they are tough
6 daysin the week and not wishing to break
the record, nor back slide, they finish up
Sunday the toughest day of all. They drink,
swear. chew and smoke cigarettes; they part
their hair in the middle and wear creased
pants; they cultivate swaggering walk and
recount alleged escapades in the city; they
go to church at rare interval and coming
therefrom make sorry attempts at skspticism
and dabble little in Theosophy. Such is
definition of their toughness. And it is one
to create feeling of intense uneasiness, if
not terror, in the minds of those who have
the bsst interests of the SO young men at
heart.

Is Arrested and Bound Over to Co urt

Charley Spangler of Malinta was arrested

Bokerman, teacher of the Malinta Schools,
of disturbing his school.
Squire Haap Tuesday evening, Sufficient
evidence was procured to warrant his being
bound over to court. The bail was fixed at
800 which was secured.
From the evidence it seems that Spengler
entered the school house and abused the
teacher before the children, indulging in
profanity, because he believed that the
teacher intended to whip his brother for
fighting.
