HAVE you noticed that the DEMO
Graf, besides giving the official coun-
ty and city news, the local happenings
from all over the county and the gen
eral telegraph news, has a corps of cor
respondents unequalled by any west
ern paper? almost every week you
will find in this paper letters giving
the neighborhood news from Seward,
Dist. 81, Pioneer, Pawnee Rock,
Dundee, Dist. y, Cheyenne Valley,
Olmitz, Heller, Albert, Eureka, and
the cream of the news about Elm
wood, Hoisington and Clafin taken
from the live local papers of those
three towns. Our aim is to get
everything that is worth reading, so
that our subscribers can keep in
touch with every part of the county
and surrounding territory. There are
few localities in the county that we
do not hear from, and we earnestly
hope that some bright young man or
woman in those localities not covered
by our correspondents will send us
weekly letters. 1t will be good, train
ing for you, and as we furnish stamp
ed and ADDRESSED envelopes, there is
no expense to you attached to the
proposition of correspondent. Try
it, young friends, and see how easy
and Interestingly is to jot down half
a dozen to dozen items of local hap
penings each week.

IhlS Christ mas, because you
are able to do so.
We know that it is pretty hard
to raise a large quantity Of
wheat, and then to have some OF
it spoil in the stack and on the
ground, on account OF shortage
of cars for shipping, and we also
know it is pretty hard. not to
get the full price for the same
when we ought to have, but this
is no reason why we should
skimp and hold back anything
of a nice little or big present,
that is due the bows and girls.
the wife and the father, after
they have toiled hard all the
year for the crop they have har-
vested. You know it is about
all you get out OF life, is what
pleasure you get at home, and
you want to make it just as COM
Portable and convenient and en-
ioyable as you possibly can, be-
cause to some Of us, another
Christmas may never come, and
we would terribly regret, to
think even, that we have not
made it as pleasant as we could
to them.
Fill up the stockings brim full,
and into each room put some
article of furniture, or carpet, or
curtains, or rug, or piano, or
organ, that each and every one
can enjoy. You are going to do
this, and you have been going
to do this ever since you have
been here, but you never will do
it, unless you make up you mind
that now is the time, and thel.
do it.
So won't you please come in
and see what we have for you in
the way of book case, sofas, par
Tor and bedroom furnishings,
bed steads, sideboards, every
thing to make home nice and
comfortable.
Then again, you can't be COM
Portable unless you have a good |
heating stove, for who can enjoy
life half freezing? When you
have one of our Beckwith |
Round Oak stoves, you will all
be warm and Jolly, and the
turkey will never be so good,
and the gravy and potatoes new
er SO brown. as when you cook
them in the Garland steel range.
The eyes of your sons and |
daughters will bulge out with
wonder and surprise on Christ
mas day, when they see the mag
niticent gold watches and chains
you have bought from US, at a
very low price, and the wife will |
feel gay and happy, just as on
her wedding day, when she sits
in the comfortable easy chair
that we have sold you for her.
The husband, too, will wink and
blink, and put on that knowing
smile, as if to say, 81 knew you
were going to get it for me-" as
he sits in his Christmas rocking
chair, beholding the laughter
and Joy OF each one that sur
rounds him, as they open their
Christmas presents.
Come then, and view the many
presents we have for you, in
watches, clocks and jewelry, in
dishes and silverware, and nov
elites of all kinds. Take them

TODAYS GAMES.
NAVY WILL PLAY DICnNSOM-SAINT
JOHNS VS.. N. A. C.

Despite the rainy weather much in
terest is manifested in the game at the
Naval Academy this afternoon between
the midshipmen and Dickinson College.
The game will be of more than usual in
terest because il will form basis of COM
parison between the Navy and Army
teams. West Point having defeated
Dickinson last Saturday IL to o 1t will
be the Middies' first game of the season
since the definite announcement that
there will be the annual game with the
Army. Although the new coaches from
Yale-Gould. Chamberlain and Hall
have been putting the Middies through
the PAGES in strenuous style ever since
the beginning of the season, the practice
during the last two days has been given
an additional impulse and the football
spirit is running high.
In response to stirring addresses by the
coaches, about 70 candidates have quail
fed this week. and there is promising
material among them. The coaches are
exacting and man who makes the team
earns his position. In today's game
Strassburger and Root, known as regu
lars on the Navy team, will be replaced
by Laird and Decker at right and left
halfbacks, respectively. Oak will take
Grady place at guard and McClintic will
play center Whiting. last years left
end, is showing up well at quarter and
Needham is by no means secure in that
position. Laird and Decker, the half
backs, are comparatively unknown guam
titles in match games, but have made a
strong showing in practice. After be-
ginning the season auspiciously last year
Decker had his collar bone broken and
was forced to quit the game for the sea-
son.
The lineup this afternoon probably
will be Howard, left end; Pierson, left
tackle; Rees, left guard; McClintic. CEN
ter; Oak, right guard; Farley. right
tackle; Soule, lcaptain), right end; Need
ham, Whiting, quarterback; Laird, right
halfback; Decker, left halfback; Halsey,
full back.
Another local game today that prom
ises to be interesting is that between st
Johns and Maryland Agricultural Col
lege. These colleges have not contested
in football since 1899, when St Johns
overwhelmed the farmers by the score of
62 to o in IS minutes of play. The Agri-
cultural team, however, has made a
creditable showing this year and has ex-
pressed confidence of defeating the home
team. The St. Johns men seem to have
no fear whatever of the outcome of the
game and do not attach much import
ance to it.
First Half--S to 0. Second Half--Io
to o. Final score IS to o in favor of St.
Johns.

reason that skilled men of this trade

The Fatal Wedding.

Probably no play produced in the last
decade has achieved the success as has
THE Fatal Wedding" written by Theo-
dore Kremer, and produced by Sullivan,
Harris 81 Woods, which will be the at
traction at the Colonial Theatre, Thurs
day October 22nd. So instant and en-
phatic was the verdict of the great New
York critics and public when the play
was first produced in the Metropolis
that the good repute of THE Fatal We'd
ding" quickly spread over the country,
and its management had, perforce, to
decline much of the very fine time offer
ed them by the leading theatres of the
country. At this time this successful
play is being produced and has been
translated into the language of both
France and Germany. And its success
has not reached high water mark.
One of the most striking, and probab-
ly the most interesting character in the
play, is that of an eight year old child,
"Jessie," who is known as "The Little
Mother" So difficult is this part to in
terpret and SO exhausting are its re-
auirements, that Sullivan, Harris and
Woods have been obliged to secure the
services of two children phenOmenons
to interpret it.
Each of these charming and very de-
lightful young ladies will appear at al
ternate performances, and their coming
has aroused almost every child in the
schools Of the city to high pitch of ex-
citement. At a scenic production "The
Fatal Wedding is wonder. The pro-
duction introduces many beautiful
scenes, including the famous Grace
Church in New York City, showing an
evening wedding in progress, and the
Palisades of the Hudson during a ter
rible snow storm. The wind and show
effects in this scene are masterpieces of
stage ingenuity.
