with song and music and good fellow
ship the members and their friends
celebrated the birth of the new year.
About 500 guests were entertained
during the day President Silver, Sec

ISOLATION board proved to be amiabie
hosts, and everyone, from the hilarious
small boy to the aged friend of the as
ISOLATION, breathed the air of sociabil-
ity that reigned there and enjoyed him
self
The association rooms were decorat-
ed in a festal way, and the abundant
eVergreens that draped the ROOFS made
the place look like a section Of Leb-
anon forest. There were many fes-
ICONS also, with carnations and roses,
and long lines of bunting hung in the
reception room.
The afternoon was spent in a gen
eral reception to all friends of the
association This was informal, and
lasted from until o'clock. While
delectable refreshments were being
served an orchestra led by Carl Zehn-
ter made the place resonant with music.
Later in the afternoon Augustus of
the gymnasium department gathered
some sinewy juniors around him and
clever exhibition in up-to-date drilling
and athletics was given.
The enjoyment reached its height in
the evening. Many hundred guests
crowded the apartments while an in
formal reception was being given by
the officers and members. a programme,
mostly musical, ended the days enter
tainment. In the absence of Miss Clay
ton a piano solo was rendered by Pro-
fessOr Cook whose performance was
received with applause. President E.
V. Silver then made a brief address, in
which he commented upon the good
work which had been performed by the
association during the year, and re-
ferred to the harmony which prevailed
between Secretary Axton and the other
officers. The other numbers were
recitation by Mrs. John Reed, solo
by Mrs K Bridewel Anderson, and a
recitation by Miss Violet Craig.
At the conclusion of this part of the
entertainment. the guests were invited |
to the gymnasium, where the seniors /
gave a pleasing exhibition.

SUCCEED j. B. TIMMoNY.
William A. Wilson Goes Out to Ac-
cept a More Lucrative Position,
and Alb Dyer Nay Be Appointed
In His Place.

j. 3. Timmony, by reason of his cleo
ton to the Office of police justice, has
retired from his position as deputy
sheriff, and will assume the office of
police justice tomorrow Mr. Timmony
practically had full charge under the
sheriff of the civil business of the Office
He was most capable officer, and can
point with pride to his record He
leaves with the best wishes of the sher-
if and his associates in that depart
ment.
John Montgomery, jr., has been
chosen as Mr.. Timmony's successor Mr.
Montgomery has had a good deal of ex-
perience as deputy sheriff, having
served as such with credit to himself
and satisfaction to his superior officers
in the administrations OF ex-Sheriffs
Mcqueen and Harvey Hardy. His ap-
pOintment will give general satisfaction
Another change has taken place iE
the personnel Of the sheriff's staff Will
liam A. Wilson, who has been a deputy
sheriff and court bailiff for year, has
retired to accept a more lucrative posi-
ton. Mr.. Wilson made a good record
in the place from which he has retired.
He was a capable, courteous and oblig-
ing official.
1t has not yet been definitely decided
who will succeed Mr.. Wilson. 1t is
quite likely that in the interest of econ
omy that Sheriff Lewis will try to get
along without appointing anyone, but
in case this cannot be done, it is quite
likely that Ab Dyer will be the man.
Mr. Dyer has experience in that line,
having been a deputy United States
marshal for years. He is a Democrat,
and thoroughly reliable in every re-
Spect.

some years past been the manager of
the New York Life. Insurance COM
pany in Utah, has been transferred TO
Colorado with headquarters at Denver.
He will continue during the year to eX

ment of the company's affairs here will
fall upon Mr. w. H. Boothe, jr., who
is a well known and popular man in
life insurance circles. The claim is
made for Mr.. BoOthe that he has es
tablished a record as the largest per-
sonal writer of life insurance in the
state. Colonel Newman leaves for his
new post on Tuesday. This will doubt
less occasion a vacancy on the COVER
nor's staff, as it is understood that his
resignation has already been rendered.
The agents and office employees of the
company presented Colonel Newman
with a handsome ring, on New Years
morning, and with it an address of es-

vides that not over so per cent of the
