of considerable hilarity. Twenty.
eight of the young friends of Misses
Della Harris and Sara MacAllister had
gathered together in response to little
white messengers sent out about q
week ago.
Upon the walls of the Harris home
were pinned gayly colored hearts upon
which were inscribed notices having
some supposed application to the one
for whom they were intended. A
large heart was used as q target and
each guest after being Olindfolded was
required to try to hit this mark. Ray
Harris proved the most successful
archer, striking near the center of the
heart. He received very elaborate
valentine in recognition of his superior
craftsmanship.
Candy hearts had been hidden in
every conceivable place and the host

One Evening in the Social
Life of MlssO lri Valley.

Once when DIR. llu:mes was visiting
i'll London he wrote IL me to his wife,
"SOme one has hold VI the string OF
the social shower bah aud If they do
not soon let so there will be a deluge
and none will escape to write the
story" Our town last evening seemed
to be in q similar plight. st. Valen-

gracious mood and sc Uttered his favors
with free hand Not only were the
young the subjects OF his attention

How toCure the Grip.

Remain quietly at home and take
Cough Remedy as dir
ected and a quick recovery is sure to
follow. That remedy counteracts any
tendency of the grip to result in pneu-
monia, which is really the only serious
danger. Among the tens of thous-
ands who have used it for the grip not
one case has ever been reported that
did not recover. For sale by

Sam Richards and Joe Vance
of this city will open their new
saloon in Moorehead about the
first of March. Mr. Vance has re-
signed his position with NJ j Fitz-
gibbon to take effect in short
time and will soon move with his
family to Moorehead.
Relative to Robert Downing's
new production, "The Seventh
Commandment" it may be said
No American actor, inseparably
identified with the legitimate
drama has right to lay claim to
a larger clientele than Mr. Robert
Downing. He is justly and con-
fessedly proud of the multitudin-
GUS friends his faithful services
have won and before presenting
this play, he solicits the lndul-
gence of their patience, before
rendering an adverse criticism of
the character of the play, until its
purpose and moral, can be appre-
ciated after the inevitable sword
clash of criticism. He realizes
that temporarily he may lose some
of his favoritism but foregoes
that loss, confidentof the eventuel
retention of the friendship of
those who have been accustomed
to associate him with the conven-
tional drama; and after the inev-
liable sensationalism which will
be attached to this remarkably
startling and vivid play, the lar
ger public of more thoughtful
mind, willsee in his departure a
nobler effort to secure the reward
of-not appreciation as an artist
but as a man with a purpose in
his life in the readingof his lines.
The engagement is for one
night Friday February 18th.

Do 70 You Rab.

!. tats Yodhs, lii ali sddfsss Dgs
fore The editorial association In
Caicago this week, deplores the
degeneracy of the newspaper into
a mere handbill. Do the people
OF Missouri Valley know the diff
ference between newspaper and
u hand billy-News.
1t they don't they are very slow
to learn, for we know ot no town
in Iowa where the residents have
had a better opportunity of study
ing out the difference between a
neat we'll printed newspaper aud
u dirty ink daubed hand bill.
.Onawa Gazette.
We hasten t, say in JUSTICE to
our evening imitator that since
that country Campbell has come
the ink daubea hand bill isn't so
worse. but the "make no" etill re-
sembles collection of almanac
clippings pied with scoop SHOW
el.-Daily News.
The Gazette is unkind to tell
such truths about the Little Daily
News of this city. OF course all
the newspaper men and people
in this county in general know
the Little Amateur Daily News is
an "ink dsubed hand BILL" and
that it is the laughing stock few
cry newspaper Office in the county
but we didn't suppose it's reputa-
tion had extended as far as Onawa
1t isthe most exquisite success as
a failure ever issued as travesty
on newspaper. 1t looks like it is
printed with horse shoe nails in
stead of type. 1t is the laughing
stock of all newspaper men who
see it and is permitted to exist
simply by the sufferance Of long
suffering people, not because it is
supposed to be newspaper, but
simply as curiosity. We hope
our good sister of the Gazette
will apologize for its unkindness
to the little thing. We don't be-
lieve in newspaper rows but are
simply compelled to state the
above truths because the little
amateur sheet has requested US to
do SO in the clipping published
above.

ments of California's rgiment.
The commission have granted S25.-
| 900 to each province where cattle have
| been killed by rinderpest, and this
sum will be expended in giving work
to those who need it, with a preference
for outlay upon public roads. The
money is to be returned in five years.

the work of turning over the duties of
provost marshal this week and he will
! then assume command of the troops
on the island of Mindanao and in the

| Evans says the insurgents fled to the
mountains. but they must soon sur
render, as they have no means of es-
cape.
