ooMHERo1AL CLUB RECEPTION.

Ine nrSG annual reception Dy
the Great Bend Commercial
Club, New Years Day and even
ing, was voted a most pleasing
success by those who attended.
The club rooms were thrown
open to about three hundred in
vited guests from 2 to 6 p. m.
The rooms were handsomely
decorated with evergreens and
holly, and the members Of the
club made special effort to have
all feel at home.
Light lunch, consisting of ice
cream, cakes, fruits and coffee
was served all afternoon, the
tables being under the care of
six of the most handsome young
ladies in the city.
In the evening the guests were
entertained at the old opera house
dancing hall, and the club mem
bers and their families had the
freedom of the club rooms, where
cards, billiards and pool were
the amusements of the evening.
We hope that every visitor to
the club rooms will appreciate
the aims and objects Of the Or
ganization, i. e.-to promote the
moral as we'll as financial inter
lests of our town and county; to
create a better feeling among
our citizens; to provide amuse.
ment and instruction for the
young, and to show TO visitors
from abroad that there is no bet
ter town in Kansas than Great
Bend, no better county than
Barton, and no more progress
sive, liberal and friendly people
than the residents thereof.
In addition to the other most
excellent rules of the Club Room
one has been adopted making
Wednesday evening of each week
"Ladies Evening"" when tht
lladies of each club member ar,
given the freedom of the rooms
This rule will add much to th,
social features of the organiza
tion, as the ladies will, beyond
doubt, appreciate the billiard
and pool rooms, the card ant
reading rooms as highly as dc
the members of the club.
| The regular monthly meetin.
| of the club will be held Monda.

SALVATION ARMY TO AID REVIVAL.
Wesley NJ. E. Church, Dover, Votes to Secure
Salvation Army Workers.

Rev. DIR. Alfred Smith, pastor of
Wesley M. E. Church, Dover, at a
special Monday evening, attended by
300 members of his parish, stated that
during all his labors of % years he had
watched the growing tendency of the
unconverted to absent themselves from
the church during revival services,
and he had decided that something
must be done to bring them into the
church.
Adjutant Kemp, of Philadelphia, and
his corps of Salvation Army recruits
had, therefore, been engaged to come
to Dover and conduct a series of meet
ings. He believed that, with their
tambourines and sweet voices, un-
saved people would be attracted to
the meetings, who could not other
wise be reached Objection was at
first made, owing to the great expense
and the wide departure from staid
church principles, but the majority
finally voted to secure the Salvation
Army workers.

SMALL POX SCARE IN COURTROOM
-"e'''"s scene at Dover Last Week Dur.
ing an Interesting Referee Trial in the
Kent County Levy Court Room.

A scene occurred at Dover last waek
during a referee trial in the Levy
court room before Referees John Sat
terheld, John w. Casson and Josenb
McGonigal. The case was that of Will
liam Il. Cahoon and William H. Moore
against Laura d. Lockwood. to re-
claim an amount obtained on a iudoe-
ment against them in the MAGISTRATES
court by Mrs. Lockwood, who con-
tended that field of corn which thew
seized and sold on debt of her hus-
band, was her individual propertv
henney & Magee were the attorneys
Tor Mrs. Lockwood, while Henry
kldgely, Jr., and w. w. Harrington.
appeared for Messrs. Cahoon and
Moore. Just after Mrs. Lockwood
had testified, Sheriff Frank Reedv
hurried into the court room and ex.
claimed; Excuse me, gentlemen, but
this lady IS just out of the smallpox?"
=, Ihere was death-like silence.
Sheriff Reedy meantime moving
toward Mrs. Lockwood as though he
was about to arrest her, and the at
torneys and spectators were about to
take 1t as a joke, when in hurried DR..
L. .. Clements, exclaiming that Mrs.
Lockwood had no business here. that
smallpox had appeared in her neigh
borhood in West Dover hundred and
size had been going in and out among it.
He exhibited letter from Magistrate
Castle reporting the existence of the
smallpox to the State Board of Health.
The attorneys, apparently stunned.
looked at each other. ''You NAV take
the witness, Mr.. Magee," " said LAWYER
Rldgely. "But L am quite through
with the witness, " insisted Mr.. Magee.
"and really, gentlemen, if you will ex
cuse me, L have another important en-
gagement elsewhere. 81 have some
pressing business outside, too, gentle
men" retorted Mr.. Ridgely, as he
sought for his hat and started out. In
few minutes there were hardly
enough people left to hear the referees
decide for the defendant, and it is said
that the judges themselves hurried out
without ascertaining about the costs of
the case.
