Christian Home Finance

The weekly report of the Chris
tian home shows that the total
of receipts in the general fund
amounted to$l25.30, being $74.-
10 below the needs of the week,
increasing the deficiency to $3,-
007.67. The amount needed in
the improvement and contin-
gent fund is 100000. Manager
Lemon announces that the con-
tingent fund, in order to enable
him to announce victory at that
time, must be reduced on or be-
fore the close of Thanksgiving
offering to $27,0OO.- -Nonpareil.

Conclusive.

If there is any one thing set
ted by the result of the last
election, in Harrison County at
least, it is the fact that no indie
pendent party ticket has ghost
of chance of an election. Atthe
last election we had five tickets
in the fell, all represented by
candidates.duely selected, asfol-
lows: Republican, Democratic,
Socialist, Temperance, Peoples,
and the result was marked and
decisive.
The vote was largely divided
between the Republican and the
Democratic party, leaving the
other three tickets scattered.
The vote as canvassed was as
follows:
Republican,, 1922
Democratic, l,722
Temperance, -. 1875
Socialist. 17S
Peoples, :....-. S
being a total vote of 3os against
4,S44. The strange thing in
this vote is that Missouri Valley
only cast 2l temperance vote!
For many years the Prohibi-
ton party have had an organi-
zation in this county, and al
ways has { just before clection)
alarge following, but at election
the vote is not worth the coun-
ting; the vote is Small and
growing beautifully less with
every election.
1t may be that the large nom
voters this year were the tenn
perance people, for it is not
fair to assume that there only
125 temperance voters in Har-
rion County and only 21 in Mo.
Valley and only 3 in st. John
township outside the city, but
we must conclude that they do
not vote as they talk, nor will
they do so so long as party pol
itics is the order of the day.
There are but two parties in
this country Republican and
Democrat), and every effort o
build up any other has, and will
be a dismal failure. When we
hear men advocating the cleo
tion of the temperance ticket,
we always feel like asking them
if they expect to vote that tick
ct themselves. Like a sign board
in the forks of a road, it is al
ways pointing the way to go,
but never goes that way itself.
1t will be we'll in the future
to drop this fifth wheel in our
political wagon until the people
demand a change of party.

Thousands la Kansas City On

cit is the largest homaseeker
business this depot ever han
died." said a railroad man at
the Kansas City Union Depot
this morning.
Yesterday was the day of the
homeseekers' rates effective
the third Tuesday in the month.
Hundreds of persons passed
through this depot last night
bound for the West and South
west, men from the densely
populated East seeking new
homes in the Missouri Valley,
the plains of Kansas, in Okla
homa and the Indian Terri
tory and even farther west
ward or southwark to New
Mexico or Texas.
If there was a crowd at the
depot last night there was q
crush this morning. Most of
the men seeking homes west of
the Missouri River come from
east of the Mississippi River,
and it is this army of home
seekers that is flocking through
the Union Depot today. Rail-
road men say that the bulk Of
the traffic isgoing. to Oklahoma
and the Rock Island trains car
ried more people yesterday and
today than they ever carried
before. Kansas City Star, Oct.

That Mr.. Powers is a master

That Mr.. Powers is a master
full interpreter of characters in
dramatic literature, everyone
who has seen his "Micawber,"
his "H 30" his "Beaucaire," his
Squire Hardcastle," his David
Garrick," his "Cyrano," or his
"Gringoire," will gladly main
tain. Bat Mr.. Powers claims,
and the discerning recognize,
that his work realizes an art
higher and finer than mere inn
personation; the art to control
and properly relate the charact-
ers in a pay to each other, to
grasp and present the meaning
of the play as a whole, and to
flash the message and purpose
of the author clearly to the
mind Of the auditor. The in
telligence, sympathy and sell
command necessary to this end
mem the mastery of an art
which appeals more directly
and vitality to the Imagination
than any other form of drama
tic presentation.
The following is the testimony
of some Of OR public school
teachers who have heard Leland
Powers:
In his presentation of David
Copperlield, Leland Powers is
more than an Interpreter of
character, he clothes with real
ity that which existed in the
mind of the author. To one
who has had the pleasure of
hearing him these characters
become real people in a real
world.
Harriet 3. Merritt.
Here is another testimony to
the great ability of Leland
Powers, by a teacher in our
public schools wlo his heard
him:
Leland Powers the imperson-
ator is certainly the best in his
line | have ever heard. His
change of characters is complete
and so rapid that the audience
feels the presence on the plat
form Of all the characters dur
ing the entire scene. His in
terpretation of character in
both David Copperfeld and
David Garrick is fine.
Edith l.. Hatch.
In David Garrick, Leland
Powers held his audience spell
bound by his clever interpreta-
tions and rapid change Of
characters. You could feel the
presence of three or four per-
sons on the stage at one time
but never for one instant was
the thread of the play lost. Mr..
Powers represents an call star"
theatrical troupe in one actor.
Jessie P. Hastings.
Having heard Leland Powers
twice and knowing him to be
an Impersonator of great abili-
ty, l feel sure that the people
of Missouri Valley will find him
arare treat.

The Des Moines Leader, says:
A Ft. Dodge man was struck
with forty volts of lightning
and still lives. There is nothing
strange about this. Ft. Dodg-
ers are equipped with lightning
rods in childhood and wear them
during life. They are thus in
shape to be struck by political,
electrical or any other old kind
of lightning without one chance
in ten million of ever sustaining
personal damage. Hence, this
latest story about lightning from
that town falls far short of be-
ing a sensation"

ASY crop that will pay for the
land 1t produces in one season is
good crop to plant. Cantaloupes
have done thus. Lands costing all
the way from $50 to 5000 per acre,
according to location, up and down
the Arkansas valley, from Pueblo
to Holly, have been made to pro
duce crops OF cantaloupes that
netted the farmer from $50 to s3oc
per acre during the past ten years
The difference in results being
generally due to whether the
farmer gave common or extra good

Down at Lanai this yeaI they
have only one ticket in the field,
a custom that has heen in vogue
for several years and the people
like it. The citizens of that model
burg realize that city election
of some kind is a necessary evil,
and in order to avoid the bicker-
ings, calumnies and animosities
that are always engendered in a
city campaign the citizens get to
gether and settle their differences
in mass convention. They don't
believe in dividing the town up
into factions, and then fighting
each other as though the fate OF
the municipality depended upon
which ticket won out. The best
way to build up atown is to stand
by every man in the town. The
residents Of community should
be partners for the advancement
of the hest interests of commun-
ity, and not engage in petty strife
and warfare like barbarians.

The TRIBUNE is not so wise.
In a recent issue the assertion was
made that Bro. Barkley did not
know where he was at on the
election law, and we have found
out since that the same assertion
will also apply to this great
family journal. The qualifications
OF a voter under the old election
law was six months residence in
the state, ninety days in the coun-
ty aud ten days in the precinct.
A constitutional amendment, how
ever. was adopted at the state
election last November, which re-
quires voter to be citizen Of
the United States, resident
of the state twelve months i'm
mediately preceding the election
at which he offers to vote. of the
county ninety days. and Of the
precinet ten days. Under the old
Law - foseigher who had declared
his iuteas5on of becoming . citi-
zen was allowed to vote, but under
the present Law be is not allowed
to vote until he has takeu out his
final papers. which requires = resi-

POOR KATE's CHRISTMAS.


Kate McAnerny, an old offender, was
before Justice Hoos in the First Criminal
Court this morning on charge of being
disorderly person.
I'm going to give you Christmas
present." said the justice.
"All right" said Kate, Il won't re-
fuse it"
''I'm going to give you thirty days in
the County Jail" said his Honor.
"Oh, Lord, judge don't do that" "
whined Kate.
''Don't you see, Kate, you'll be sure of
getting your Christmas and New Years
dinner said the judge.
That's seme consolation
'If you're good I'll go up and get yoh
out before New Years. added the JUS
tiee.
"Oh, Judge, you're the bestest Judge
what ever graced the bench" said Kate
as she was led back among the prisoners.
