WASHINGTON Party.

Saturday evening Miss Ada Briggs and N iss
Grace Williams gave II most charming party 10
about thirty-tive of their young friends at II o
home of Miss Briggs, corner of Fifth and HUI
ron streets Miss Pearl Briggs, dressed "a Mar
tina Washington, received the guests. The rooms
were decorated with potted plants with vivid
bloom while everywhere tpated our countrys
flags, and the Ratchet, without which George
Washington would be robbed Of half his glory,
was everywhere in evidence. The arrangement
of the decorations was very pretty and gave
evidence of the taste of the young hostcssos.
The first part of the program consisted of con.
nndsuns This was followed by a game of
fortune-tclling and each one found his or her
fortune enclosed in nutshcll. We are told Of
certain historic pie that when the pie was
opened the birds began to sing in this case
when the nut opened the lads ard lassics
began a chorus and how they did chatter and
laugh and what fun it all created. Progressive
croknolc followed. Ten games were INDUCED
in. Orvilc Frazier secured the trophy, which
was a portrait of Washington. George Schlagen-
hauff was awarded flag as a matter of consola-
ton, but George did not need any consolation
of that kind as he of the best suited
boys in town that evening, and moreover had
reason to be, because his fortune foretold suited
him. Later, refreshments were served upon
| small tables with National color decorations.
The place cards We're napkins folded in the
shape of Ratchet Partners were chosen ty
matching broken hatchets About midnight a
musical program was carried out and then the
merry company closed a very happy evening by
singing America The going home was that
perfection Of existence only possible when life
is young and the soft moonlight lights the
path

THE MINSTREL WAS A GREAT
SUCCESS
Receipts Sufficient to Put As
ISOLATION Out Of Debt

Costumed in CARDS peculiar
only to negro minstrelsy, be-
smeared with compilations of
burned cork and other requisites
of the old time minstrel, Mis-
souri, Valleys best talent appeared
at the local theatrs Saturday
evening in an ollo of songs, gags
and other amusements calculated
to touch the lighter chords of hui
mainly. While the audience did
not pack the house by any means
the receipts from the venture will
in all probability pay the Ply
sicial Culture Association out of
debt and place this organization
once more on firm financial
footing.
The performance concluded
with clever little sketch "Mis-
takes will happen the various
roles being assumed exclusively
by local talent. From beginning
to end the performance was one
that the participants could feel
proud of and gave universal salts
faction.
The Board of Trustees of the
Physical Culture Association wish
to thank all who participated in
and worked 30 hard to make the
Minstrel such great success.

The Treaty Makes for Peace

1t is natural for people to speculate
upon the possibility of war between
Russia and England growing out of
the British Japanese treaty, but such
a calamity will be avoided by both ma
tions as long as possible. Viewed in
one aspect the alliance is more liable
to avert war, because it will impress
upon Russia the hopelessness of try
ing to make Roadway against the Brit
lsh navy supplemented By the actual
and potential a.power of Japan

FIattering Is America

No more tisttering tribute could
be paid to the energy and intelll-
gence displayed by the people of
the United States than the deter
mination of the French govern
ment to establish schools in this
country for the training of French
youth. 1t lis planning now to es-
tablish two of these schools; one
in Pittsburg, for the training Of
engineers, and one in New York,
to teach political science; while
others are in contemplation. If
this new departure proves sue
ceseful for France other foreign
countries will be moved to take
the same step, and thus the ideAs,
methods and influences of the
Uuited States will be spread
rapidly all over the world.

Cost ST a Biz Daily

The New York Journal has
fourteen presses, each capable of
printing in FIVE colors, and costing
from $4,000 to 100000 apiece.
The weekly payroll is from $780,
600 to 100000, and that is only
part of the expense. Each press
can print $4,000 eight-page papers
with five colors on outside, hourly.
A country editor, says Pointers,
justly feels proud of circulation
of 1000. The Journals battery
of presses can print that number
of eight-page papers in less than
three seconds. The rolls of paper
weighs about LOO pounds each
ard an ordinary edition uses
hundreds of them; an extarordi-
nary edition may use 1,4O0--the
load of two or three freight trains.
It has from 1900 to 1000 people
in its employ in New York City
alone, not counting its army of
correspondents.

Saloon Men Up For Contempt 81
Court.

Acting on informations sworn
to by Rev. W. L. Douglas, pastor
of the First M. e. Church of this
city, Judge Thornell has issued a
writ for the arrest of all the pro-
prietors of Missouri Valley Sa-
looms, together with the bar ten
ders and porters about such estab-
lishments. Sheriff Shelton was
busy all day Sunday serving the
warrants in which the saloon men
are notified to appear before the
District Court in session at Logan
to day and show cause why they
should not be punished for con-
tempt Of Court in violating the
permanent injunction issued
against them ard restraining them
from violating the liquor law.
1t appears the entire trouble
has been caused by the failure of
the saloon men to file their bonds
in the manner provided by the
State Code.

first part of the entertainment afforded nm
bounded Amusement when each one tried TO

Ratchet at it. There were some good marks

tree will still live to be heard of by future
generations. Mrs. Hopkins proved herself the
most expert thrower among the ladies', and c. G..
Cole showed the men how to hit a mark. Later
in the evening cards ware INDUCED in by those
30 disposed and others engaged in crokinole.
Refreshments, which we're bountiful and ele-
giant, were served in the dining room. Covers

A Great Religious Revival.

From an account given by the
Audubon Advocate we learn that
Evangelist Sunday, after series
of meetings continuing four weeks
had an addition of 434. The con-
tribution to him during that time
was $l536.OO. This is remarkable,
considering the fact that the town
of Audubon contains only about
1000 inhabitants, and many Of
them already members of some
church. Evangelist Sunday must
be a remarkable man, possessed
of great magnetism.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
A PiataiI Party.

pigtail party was given In his studio
the other night by an artist from the

curious To know what on earth this
sort OF a party Is. and they found II TO
be one whereat the tails Of pigs are
the main dish of the supper. AS ac-
cessories there were served. of course.
sauerkraut. sausages. cheese and pref
zels. hut the delicious pigtalls lorded
ii easily over their nelghbors. They
were fried. and each guest found he
could eat dozen without difficulty.
In st. Louis the artist said. pigtalls
are as common an article of food as
pigs feet or beefsteak. Every butcher
has them on sale. and they cost about
20 cents Il dozen. Here in the east they
seem TO be unknown. | had n great
deal of trouble TO get these that you
are eating tonight and had to order
them two weeks in advance. Several
men got the recipe for their cooking
and said they would leave standing or
ders for pigtails with their butchers"
