tahons were sent out to the neigh
boring settlements all of which we're
well represented in the gathering.
The committee sent carriage to
Highland to bring down the band
who had kindly proffered their SER
wees for the occasion; they arrived
here about six o'clock and were driy-
en- to Mrs Wadsworth's where they
satisfied their appetites brought for
the occasion, after supper they pro-
eeeded 10 the hall where they dis
eoursed sweet music for the citizens
for about 80 minutes when all were
called into the hall by master Of GER
emonies Geo. Riding.
After invocation by John Lee Mr..
Riding led about 40 couples in a
grand march which was followed by
continuous dancing until IL O'Clock
when all adjourned to the dining
room 1.-THE sehool-house) where all
proceeded to satisfy the inner man,
from tables which fairly groan-
ded with the Injuries of life. At
l.3O dancing was resumed and kept
up until 5 o'clock when it was thought
all honest people should be in bed
and an adjournment was taken
until the departure of our next
Missionaries some time in October.
This party being given in honor
OF our popular young men most of
our citizens were out to celebrate the
occasion and over fifty visitors from
surrounding valleys, and towns many
OF whom were young ladies', who bro
ught along their most fascinating
smiles to play on Milt, who however
seemed proof against them, and were
it not for betraying trust, we might
name several married men from
Phoebe, whose wives were not with
them, that tried to take the shine off
our young men with the fair ones,
but then | wouldn't even mention
Henrys name, well and would have
been surprised to have seen some of
the Bachelors, but for goodness sake
don't say l told you, as they impose
the utmost confidence in my honor.
why were it not for the fact that
women do not vote, one would have
thought that Gov and Mac and even
Harry were CONTRASTING for votes from
the earnestness of their conntenance
when in conversation with the ladies
However all of the 250 or more
souls were unanimous in their YER
dict, that all had a most excellent
time, and we all join in wishing we
may have many more, and in extend
ng thanks to all who contributed to
The success of the affair, especially

The First Opera Glasses.

The single opera glass was first used
In the time of Louis XIV; it became
the rage and everybody used one. The
double opera glass (Jumelle) was in
vented in 1925, but did not at first find
favor with women. A treatise was writ
ten in the early part of this century
on Fart de lorgner, in which it was
shown that woman with fine arms
would hold the glass with both hands,
II she were blessed with fine hands she
would take off her gloves, if her neck
were long she would recline back in
her chair, and so on. 1t was quite a
treatise on coquetry.

distinct routes through the noun
tains and the most magnificent seen
cry in the world. Double daily
train service and through Pullman
and Tourist sleeping cars to Denver,
Omaha and Chicago. Monday Tues.
day and Wednesday, of each week,

Reports from North Dakota and Northern

About 1910 p. m. the market became ex-
tremely nervous on a quick downward turn
in Chicago. Our market responded, and in
less than five minutes decline of nearly two
cents was scored. 1t was learned afterwards
that the break in Chicago was the sudden un-
loading of a lot of long May wheat by local
holders; they literally dumped the property
in the pit. There was e quick rally of Bc

up to the close. April wheat closed at &c, May

dGced a sensation today when he tes-
tilted in the bribery investigation. He

If the bill was defeated. He placed

under advisement Later, in reply to
letters from him. 1 wrote on one Of
them, which | returned, that | could
be Of no service to him.

something in 1t for both of them" if
they could get a substitute adopted for
the original text book bill
Representative Dingus swore that
Representative Doyle had offered him
$3.50 if he would cease his fight for the
text book bill. Representative Smith
said that the statements made yester-
DAY by Representative Clark that he
(Smith) had offered Clark $3.50 to op-
pose the Hackney amendment to the
railroad bill were utterly false The
only conversation he remembered hav-
ing had with Clark was when Clark
had told him that he needed $780,
Miss Nelly Bennett, clerk Of the house
committee on engrossed bills (Smith's
committee) testified as to a conversation
in the committee room between Clark

opened weak and lower this morning on very
discouraging cables and for nearly an hour
1t looked though we were going to have
a repetition of yesterdays market. About

we quickly followed suit, and soon got in the
lead. advancing full cent in less than fifteen
minutes. There was a slight reaction from
the high point about Il a. M, and the market
ruled fairly steady for nearly an hour. The
news of the day fitted to suit all shades
Of opinion. New York reported that foreign
ers were free sellers there, also that exporters
took 10000 Blu of cash wheat yesterday for
EXPORT: also that Northwestern interests were
enlisted on the buying side, taking all the
