The people of Mo. Valley are
promised rare treat in the rendi-
ton of the Bridal Chorus" from
the Rose Maiden, by Cowan, at
the Morning Choir concert Feb. l..
1t will be given by chorus of
sixteen voices, which is, we be-
lieve, the largest chorus ever sung
in Mo. Valley in concert. The
Bridal Chorus" is the gem of
the opera and was one of the best
pieces given by Kelly's great
chorus at the ns-Mississippi
Exposition. A great deal of hard
work has been done in working
this piece up, and no one who
loves to hear good music should
miss hearing it.

Shoulder Fractured.

Shoulder Fractured.
Mrs. Polly Hunt, a lady sixty
years old, who makes her home
with her daughter, Mrs. Samuel
Bolden, on Upper Third street,
was thrown out Of a wagon this
morning, sustaining injuries pain
full and serious. She was intend
ing to spend a few days with re-
latives in Logan, and was just
starting on the trip, in company
with her son-in-law, Sam Bolden,
when the accident happened.
As they were driving out of the
barn yard at the residence, the
wagon tipped over thigh embank-
ment, falling into q ditch below.
Mrs. Hunt was thrown from the
seat, to the frozen ground several
feet below, and struck with terrific
force upon her left shoulder, frac-
turing and dislocating it. She
was carried into the house and
medical aid summoned. DR.. Gas
son attended the case and render
ed all aid possible but owing to
her advanced years it will be
several weeks before she will have
fully recovered.

on Superior ST., in honor Of her
brother, who ia home from Winter

evening was most enjoyable one
as this crowd generally make
them. The first part Of the even
ing. was spent in the playing Of
numerous games, after which the
study of "a Floral love Story"
was taken up. A slip Of paper
was given to each with the story
written in rhyme upon it, the var
iouIs blanks Of the poem to be fill
ed the name Of a flower, which
made an interesting study for all.
At,the close Of the evening most
bounteous refreshments we're
served and at late hour,
good nights were. said, with unan-
imous expressions Of good time
to their hostess.

Reasons for Thanksulness.

u rns'cmssy as inch ee'
Ms Csc to recon
blessings. o. all reformers 10 The
present time, none, perhaps, have
more for which to be thankful
than equal suffragists. In our own
state of Iowa the equal suffrage
organization has grown to such
proportions that headquarters
have become necessity as we'll as
a reality. Our work is carried on
there at an expense equalling that
of the National society in its work
about five years ago. Add to this
large sums paid out by local clubs
for lectures, distribution of liter
azure, the purchase of books for
regular courses of study, and other
ways, and any society of women
might we'll be grateful for mone-
tary results, while rejoicing in the
increase of public sentiment in it's
favor, and the faithfulness of
members who have helped to &C.
cumlate and expend.
The official recount shows a
triflle more than 5000 majority
against the amendment offered in
South Dakota; but we have reason
to be thankful that the cause suf-
fered defeat by 5000 rather than
by $4,000, which its opponents at
the polls claimed few years pre-
vious. Defeated, also, in Wash
ington! Yes, but thankful, never
theless for the lessons derived
from experience. Conditions were
unfavorable for the presentation
of such bill during the past year.
Suffragists we're practically un-
organized. The cause lacked the
impetus given by strong union
of congenial minds. There was
too abrupt mingling of unpopu-
lar reforms. Everywhere, anti
suffragists feel that political en-
franchisement of women, means a
larger vote for the prohibition Of
saloon and gambling den.
For the splendid example of Wy
oming we are ever thankful, and
are glad to hear through ex-Gov.
Warren that its women nearly all
vote; and that, as the women of
Wyoming, like women elsewhere,
are largely good and not bad, the
result of their political action is
good and not evil. We are thank
full that representative citizens of
Colorado believe, "The greatest
good of the home, state and ma
ton is advanced through the OPP
GRAFTON of equal suffrage" We
are glad that political equality is
prospecting in Idaho, and that it's
friends are hopeful in Utah. We
are thankful for increase of
sheaves in the form of legal privi-
leges granted other women in 9TH
er states of our union, and that the
people of Indiana and Oklahoma
are unusually wide-awake on this
question of human rights regard
less of sex or4race.
Looking beyond our borders we
have reason to be thankful for
growing popularity in England,
New Zealand, Australia and other
foreign lands, and for hearts and
brains strong and brave in effort
and desire for the betterment oil
peoples in our new dominions
Well may suffragists say with

And right the day must win;

To falter would be SIM"

Attempted Hold Up.

O~'-o 20 mo fact that Dr.
dive, ,piitad h,r:-. b.
IS the possessor of ali his worldly
goods, whereas had the equine
been an animal as docile as the
usual run Of s'Dobbins" he would
today have only the remembrance
of his personal effects. About -
O'Clock Tuesday night he was
coming home from Calhoun, and
was driving through the bunch of
trees near the Mech farm when
two men, each coming from diff
ferent side of the road, approached
the buggy. The doctor anticipa-
ted their purpose and attempted
to drive away from them, but one
of the men grabbed the horse by
the bit and stopped him.
just as the spokesman of the
duo was making his short speech
setting forth in very concise
manner their purpose, the horse
attached to the buggy gave sud-
den lunge forward knocking his
captor down and running over him.
1t is needless to state, the doctor
did not attempt to slacken the
speed of the animal, instead he
gave him all the encouragement
possible and for the remaining
four miles, between the scene of
the attempted hold up and this
city, the doctor states that the
horse made a fast mail record.
