B. w. Carlisle left for
Wooster, Ohio Sunday evening
for a visit with his son Ralph.

The annual Praise Service of
the Missionary Society of the
Presbyterian church was held
at the church last evening.
The service was very interest
ing throughout the evening.
The subject was illustrated by
steriopticon views and the lee
lures given by Mrs. j. B. Lyon
and Mrs. MacAllister were very
interesting and instructive. The
recitation by little Louise Car
Isle in costume was one of the
cutest things ever seen in the
city. The audience filled every
seat in the church and the
closest attention was given.

Ames Times: The Fort
Dodge way appears to have
supplanted the Sioux City way.
When you go to Fort Dodge
you find the secret of the Fort
Dodge way and that lies in the
fact that every Fort Dodge citi-
zen is for Fort Dodge first, last
and all the time, and if a Fort
Dodge man wants anything
politically, especial, every man
in Fort Dodge is for him. This
is the sequel to the success Of
the average Fort Dodger when
he goes after anything.

Yesterday they released the
brakes on a string of box cars

arrested.

Rebekah Social.
The Rebekah Social las

The Rebekah Social last Sat-
urday night was a grand sue
cess in every view. The ladies
had arranged the lodge room in
artistic and convenient form
for the meeting. All seemed
to be imbued with a desire to
make the most of the occasion.
At an early hour the guests
began to arrive and soon the
room was comfortably filled
with young, old and middle
aged ladies and gentlemen
ladies beautiful and gentlemen
gallant, and after being meas
ured to learn just how much to
pay for admission, las the adj
mission fee was 2 cents per foot
in height, they enter the room
prepared for fun. On entering
the hall they found convenient
departments for every charac-
ter of exhibition tocome before
the visitors.
First was tent on the right
on which was painted in large
letters: "The Smith Family"
To get a view of this ancient
family the charge was one
cent. On entering the tent
you beheld a bevy of pretty
little girls and boys dressed in
their Sunday go to- meeting
clothing, with tambourines, and
singing nicely.
Just west of this tent was
another with sign "For Men
Only" The men, as a general
thing, all visited this tent, and
as all came out laughing, it
must have been a good show.
In the west end of the hall
were placed other tents. On
one was printed "Have a Fish"
Those who fished in this pond
always secured a bite and gen
orally landed the fish. The
next tent had "Rebekah Goat"
This tent had a large patronage.
Next was a tent where the
Fortune Teller told fortunes,
and none came away from the
tent without being assured of a
good future. While the show
was going on the usual games
were being played on the out
side, such as crokinole, high
five, etc. The proverbial pop
corn stand was in evidence, and
did a good business. Mrs. Fred
Heath attended the door, and
the receipts for admission, etc.,
reached the SIG point.
We almost forgot to mention
one Of the most delightful
parts of the program, that of
vocal and instrumental music,
Miss Jessie Brandriff presiding
at the piano.
The Worlds Exposition at
Chicago was larger in proper
ton, but if we take into consid-
GRAFTON the amount of fun and
pleasure, the last Saturday
night social of the Rebekahs
will ever hold the premium in
the minds of those who at
tended.
Ed. Torrance started this after
noon for Southern Nebraska.
He will be absent from home
about a week during which

make a demonstration in a de-

Hettie Green, the richest
woman in the world, is fore
closing a mortgage on a church
in Chicago for a debt of $13,-
600. Hettie is religious wo-
man herself, but says she thinks
"a church should pay it's debts
the same as any one else. She
holds mortgages on eighty-fve
churches in the United States.
There is one niger in Oma-
ha that will not hold up a VIC
man again for a long time.
Tuesday evening he attempted
to hold up and rob one of the
plucky women of that city,
when the woman drew a re-
volver and shot the "coon"
through the thigh. A few les
sons of that kind will do the
foot pads good.
President Mitchell, of the
United Mine Workers is a
wonderful man. The Chautau-
qua associations offered him
50, 900 for twenty lectures the
coming spring and summer, but
he refused the $4,000 on the
ground that the miners needed
all his time. He seems to be a
man who believes his first duty
is to the men who employ him.
William Rockefeller, of New
York City, brother of Standard
Oil Rockefeller, went before
the assessment board of New
York City last week and had
his assessments reduced from
one million dollars to three
hundred thousand dollars. 1t
is just such work as this that
causes so many anarchists in
this country. Mr.. Rockefeller
is one of the multi-millionaires
of New York City.
A dollar spent with a mail
order house is locked behind
the iron doors of a safe and
never gets back inside your
pocket or to your vicinity. The
dollar spent with your home
merchant helps to pay county
and town taxes and helps to
educate your children. Think
of these things before you buy
goods in Omaha or send to mail
order houses. Then ask your
self if you are doing right.
Berkly & Co. the big mer-
chants of Logan evidently be-
lieve in advertising, as they
this week have a double page
advertisement in each of the
Logan papers advertising a
grand clearing sale. Besides
the ad in each Logan paper
they had printed 5000 full
sheet posters which they are
flooding the county with. They
expect to bring the biggest
crowd to Logan for that sale
ever seen in that town. Adver-
Using will do it if anything
will.

Ordinarily" says the Water
loo Courier. "the fact that all
the papers in Chicago but the
American are opposed to Har-
rison would insure his defeat,
but in Chicago today, it is diff
ferent. 1t is hard to under
stand why the big city papers
should have lost their influence
with the people generally and
so completely as they have, ex-
cept upon the hypothesis that
they mistrust them. The
papers are used so largely to
promote special interests that
their honesty is doubted, and
their leadership repudiated.

teaching the farmer how to
plant and cultivate his corn
crop. He claims that he can,
by his system, increase the
yield of corn in Iowa at least
one third. If he can teach the
farmers how to do this it will
make a difference of $15,0OO,-

he goes after anything.

The Sac Democrat calls the
attention of the farmers of it's
county to the fact that they pay
$4,000 annually for bridges,
and pay it grudgingly, but they
scarcely give any attention to
the $4,000 a year they are
compelled to pay the lumber
barons because of the So tariff.
This shows the danger of the
tariff tax; it is insidious and de-
ceitful, while other taxes can
be seen and traced. If the farm
ers of Sac county could save
the $4,000 year they would
find it easier to pay for
bridges. Sioux City Tribune.
