An Afternoon With the Daughter.

A most unique and delightful enter
tainnent was given on Friday after
noon by Mrs. A. j. Kellar, State Re-
gent of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution, in honor of Mrs. Hen
ry Pointer Cheairs, of Deadwood. Mrs.
Cheairs is an enthusiastic member of
that patriotic organization and is de-
scendant of the New York Moultons.
This function has the honor of being
the first O this kind in the state. The
guests were only those who are already
members or whose papers are being
prepared for membership They were
Mrs. Cheairs, of Deadwood, Mesdames
Anderson, Bradley, Long, w. w. Stew
art, G. G. Smith, Eckstein, Thorpe,
Watts, Jennings, Vinton, Carr and
Linn. \ welcome guest was Mrs.
Mary T.. Lease, who being distin-
guished visitor in the city, was beguiled
into breaking bread with the Daugh-
ters. Her charming womanly gen
tleness, brilliant gift of conversation
and radiant personally gave added
pleasure to the occasion. There was
only one regret, the absence of Mrs.
John Stanley, who was not in the city.
Mrs. Stanley was one of the first to
join the ID. A. II. under the present
Regency and is valued member. The
dininging room was decorated in blue
and white, the colors of the order. The
table festooned in blue, the center
pieces were blue under white lace. The
only flowers were white Mariposa lilies
and blue bells. The silver was the
Colonial pattern. 1t was whispered
that the patriotic hostess was some
what distressed that her pink straw
berry ice cream, which accompanied
her delicious luncheon, was not blue,
but she promises future improvement.
The entire afternoon was a blending of
intellectual enjoyment, wit, culture
and elevation of thought. Before leav-
ing the dining room Mrs. Cheairs, by
request of the hostess, read a sketch
from the June American Magazine,
the organ of the ID. A. r., of the Mea-
dow Farm, the home of Geo. Walton,
one of the signers of the declaration
of independence. Meadow Farm has
been purchased recently by the
Daughters for protection and preserv-
alton. This is but one of many SINH
lar octs of the ID. A. r. to protect the
hitoric spots of our Republic and is
one superior beauty of that order. An
original poem by Phil Kellar, who be-
longs to the Society of the Sons, was
then read and a copy of the poem was
given each guest as souvenir.
The whole affair was planned and
executed by Miss Werdna Kellar, who
in her charming manner welcomed
each guest and who has the sincere
thanks of the d. A. r. for an afternoon
of unalloyed pleasure.
This luncheon to the Daughters has
already emphasized the importance
and usefulness of that order. The en-
deavor of tracing records is more earn
nest, and the State Regents efforts,
both in social and business way, have
been eminently successful.

There Will be no relaxation OF the

In preventing the Spanish government
from negotiating directly with the in

BEEF Is ARRAIGNED.
What Illinois Volunteers Had to Say OF
What Was Furnished Them.

Chicago. March IA number of
officers of the volunteer regiments
were before the beef court today. DIR.
Shaw, surgeon of the Sd Illinois, said
his regiment. while at Porto Rico.
was given canned roast beef most of
the time. He declared it striugv.
Shiny mess, revolving to the senses. 1t
caused diarrhra, due to plomaine
which developed in the can within 4
few minutes after ii was opened.
Sometimes bacon was served, but it
contained maggOts. The bread was
sour, and he declared the men spent
all their pay for food at the commissary
store or they would have starved to
death. Col. Bennitt corroborated
Shaw's testimony As to the nauseat-
ing character Of the canned roast beef.
Mai. Sanburn. of the 1st Illinois. was
less vigorous in condemnation of the
canned roast beef. merely declaring it
unpalatable. Capt. Bolte and other
mem bers of the lst, heard no COM
plant about canned roast beef except
when it was eaten cold, then it was
unpalatable William II. Replogle
testified that he served in the hospital
corps at Porto Rico, and had seen n
piece of cooked fresh beef which had
maggots in it. He also saw maggots
run out of several cans of corned beef
when opened.

that transportation was the most i'm

not be allowed To arbitrarily fix rates
He also asserted that the trusts should

he salaries of congressman were in
creased from $1,000 TO 5000. This in-
crease was made on the plea that the

creased. Now that there has been an
Increase in the purchasing power W.
