led Past Grand Master Wernicke, Of
the Oddfellows, on his way to lodge
Monday night, and wanted to know what
part the frying-pan played in the initia-
tory cerim onies. Mr.. w. escaped, and
their interrogation as yet, is unanswered.

The Dillon Tribune, May 6, 1898 says:
On Saturday evening the Somers Family
entertained the Dillon people in man
ner highly ENJOYABLE. The boy alto and
little Miss Lottie were the first to cap
ture the audience. Miss Nellie, a
charming brunette, rendered the Cuban
song with splendid voice and style.
The rendition of the latest negro ''hits"
caused much applause, and the charac-
ter songs and make-ups were uncom-
monty funny. The Somers Family con-
cert is bright, clean and pleasing en-
tertainment.
G. R. Reeves, of the Albion Normal
school, received word last Thursday 10
at once start for Cuba, having been no
titled by General Gomez, the insurgent
leader, that a colonel's commission in
the Cuban army awaited his arrival,
Mr.. Reaves entertained the members of
the Normal faculty and few friends at |
dinner at the Albion hotel Friday even
ing in the honor of his departure. Those |
present were: Prof. and Mrs. Black, |
Prof, Hampton. Prof. Mullin, Miss |
Mrs. Stennenberg, Misses
Josephine Robinson, Hope Peyburn and |
Gertrude Berry'-Albion Times.
1t is funny that Gomez can get letter
to Reeves, out here in Idaho, and be I'M
able to get one to the Secretary of War.
If Gomez is short of Colonels for his
army, we would respectfully refer him
to Montgomery & Wards catalogue,
where he will find Colonels-of Reeves
calibre-quoted at 10 cents a dozen or
two dozen for quarter. Verify, Reeves
is dandy. lop-eared prevaricator, his
feet stinketh like glue factory and he
knows about as much as stone mummy.
Yea, he is a cipher with the rim knock
ed off.
