Rev. Lee W. Beattie, at the conclu-
sion OF the supper, introduced Miss
4 Crawford as POSTMASTER, and she full
filled her part in most delightful
manner. The toasts were all ably
handled and sparkled with wit and
wisdom.
Miss Stevens responded to the toast,
Dudes" She gave scientific analy-
sis of this species of hominides, say
ing that the most conspicuous features
were clothes, cane and smile. An
European scientist had taken an X-ray
photograph Of dudes head, and the
only thing that developed was circle
around the right eye.
Miss Carolyne M. Robbins .stoast
was.on the ssubject of bachelors. F"
She. offered some suggestions for the
determination of that species. She
thought that the Oriental plan Of
according no rights to unmarried men
between the ages of eighteen and
fiftytyears, but treating them merely
as boys, would eventually remedy the
evil.
brothers" was'the subject allotted
to Miss Fraser. She told of the trials
and worry that brothers cost, but con-
cluded that they were a pretty good
thing after all. She advised those
who have no brothers to adopt one.
Mrs. d.. Rose responded to the
toast of Husband No. l." She gave
a vivid description of the husband
ideal and sotherwise, interspersed
her remarks with some happy hits,
and closed with description of her
ideal of Christian husband.
Miss Brett handled sthe subject of
Husband No. 2" in an entertaining
manner. She advanced a series Of
''dop't" that she thought would en-
sure domestic felicity.
1.-THE. Young Man as Christian"
responded to by Miss Roberts, was a
most fitting close. The climax of de-
velopment in the Christian young
man in business, in society, in the
church, was not only possible, she
maintained, but was being exempli-
fed in many Of the young men in
Mankato.
The ladies, through Miss FAIR, ex-
tended vote of thanks to the young
men and drank to their health from
good cold water, the best and most ex-
hilerating beverage young men or
women can indulge in. The affair
closed with numerous expressions Of
enjoyment and appreciation.
The young men donated hundred
extra ice cream plates to the ladies
society, of the same style as the new
set recently purchased.

The Poteau News contains the
following: Tuesday, during the
absence of the father and mother.
the 4-year-old son of Bob King, a
Choctaw living in the edge of
town, went to a well in the yard
and in attempting to draw a buck
ct of water lost his balance and
fell in. The well is about 80 feet
deep and contained about 16 feet
Of water. When found by his
half-sister, an 11-year-old full
blood Choctaw, the little fellow
had his head above water, the rope
tightly clinched between his teeth,
and was clinging to the wall of the
well with strength born Of des-
peration. The sister, with judg-
ment and courage far beyond her
years, realized that long before as
sistance could be secnred the boy
would probably drown, went
about the perilous undertaking of
rescuing him herself, which she
did by descending into the well,
raising the boy above her head
and in this condition laboriously
working her way back to safety
with nothing but the ragged walls
of the well for support. The boy
was bruised considerably by the
fall, but otherwise is as clipper as

Utah Sheep In Peril.

Thompsons, Utah, Jan. 27.-There
has been an unusually heavy fall OF
snow within the past few days, and
the weather is very cold, and unless
there is a change soon the loss to
sheepmen will lie heavy.
OF the 10000 head Of sheep on the
the desert between the Green and
Grand, few will be able to survive the
cold many days longer.
sheepmen are very uneasy and state
that If the weather does not moderate
within ten days the loss will be at
least SO per cent and that few will
survive twenty day seige like the
present cold weather.
Efforts will be made to get feed to
the sheep, but owing to the time ne
eessarilY consumed in getting feed to
this place and transportation from 20
to 30 miles through the snow, many of
the weaker sheep will perish
There has been within the last two
or three days considerable loss from
staI vation.

LAST CHINESE OUTRAGE.
German Sailors Murdered by the Chinese
Rabbie.

Shanghai, China, Jan. 31.-A dis
patch from Chez Foo states that a
German sailor named Schulz. belong
ing to the cruiser Kaiser, was assas-
sinated while on outpost duty at Tsiao,
the extreme German post in Kiao Chou
bay. The crime, which was comitted
by the Chinese rabble, was not discov-
cred until three men of the corporal $
guard were making the rounds in order
to relieve the sentries. Then Schulz
was discovered lying in a pool of blood,
his head having been severed from his
body. The relieving guard was directly
afterward attacked by hundred of
the bloodthirsty Chinese, and after
stubborn fight all of the sailors were
killed. Twelve natives were killed
during the engagement.
1t is added that in consequence of
the outrage the greatest excitement
prevails at Kiao Chou, and it is believed
the incident will form the basis of
further demands upon China by the
G,arn1anS
