G. S. Osborne, DRUGGIST.
Salamaeundl Party.

Last evening Mrs. q. w.
Pratt entertained about thirty
young people in honor of her
daughter Verona, from half
past seven to eleven o'clock.
The home wore a festal appear
lance with it's pretty floral deco
rations and brilliant illumina-
ton. The guests enjoyed them
selves during the evening with
progressive games, receiving
small pawns according to the
scores made at each table.
Later Mr.. Pratt conducted an
auction which would have done
credit to an old time vendue
crler. The articles offered for
sale were souvenirs of many
styles and varieties, but they
were so carefully wrapped that
each bidder was entirely in the
dark as to the nature of the
article they were bidding up
on. The price of each article
was the paWns received while
playing. Of course the fun
was unlimited especially as the
articles were displayed to each
other after the sale was over.
An excellent two course re-
past was served upon small
tables. Mr.. Pratt and Mr.. P. D..
Robinson were the deft servi-
tors. After refreshments Miss
Verona Pratt and Miss Mable
Wilson gave several instrument
al selections. The entire even
ing was very jolly and enjoyable
to all the lads and lassies who
are in that happy period of life
when all the world is a garden
of roses and care or signing is
an unknown quantity in the
book of their young lives.

C. A. Bolter and Amor Stern
returned from Atlantic Tues
day morning where they had
been in session with the other
members of the board of the
proposed electrical railway. At
the meeting j. A. Nash of
Audubon, was elected president
of the company; Almor Stern,
of Logan, vice president; Clyde
Brenton, of Des Moines, treas
urer; Rush Benedict, of Shelby,
secretary, and H. H. Polk, of
Des Moines, general manager.
The road is now a sure thing
and will lead direct from Des
Moines to Logan, which will be
the terminus. The road will
strike the towns that have been
mentioned heretofore in this
paper. Surveys will be begun
within the next ten days, and
it is presumed that several
miles of the road will be graded
and in operation before fall.
With the terminus of the Des
Moines line at Logan we may
not be surprised to find Omaha
and Sioux City building lines
in this direction, and the time
may come when Logan will be
somewhat of an electrical rail-
way center itself. The people
of Logan can we'll afford to con-
graduate Messrs Bolter and
Stern, who have lost no oppor-
tunity to see that the desired
end has been brought about.

Let the people and the bureau
of publicity as represented by
the press work together for
mutual good" pleads the Lu-
Ibuque Times. "Give the 1e-
porter the news. He'll get it
anyway. Treat him with court
esq as you expect courteous
treatment from others. The
newspapers worth the name
are not seeking private but
public ends. They are not
publishing scandals, but news,
and the reports of meetings
between school boards and pat
rons is news to which the gem
eral public has a perfect right.
Make the reporters task easy.
His work is the best defense of
the general public and makes
toward individual decency and
good government"

WRIT ENJcINS
Dixie REPAIRS
Farmers Along Soldier River In
Row Over Dixie.

Judge Macy, of the Harri-
son County District Court, yes
terday afternoon issued a tenn
porary restraining order which
prevents farmers living along
the south side of the Soldier
river in the northern part of
Harrison county, from repairing
or filling in a break in the dixie
which runs parallel with the
Soldier river along the south
side.
This spring the dixie was
either cut or the waters washed
through the embankment and
the flood waters that formerly
spread out over the farms along
the north side of the stream
have passed through the break
and flooded the farms along
the south side. This week
farmers whose property was
being damaged by the overflow
commenced filling in the break.
The farmers living along the
north side of the river realized
the filling of the break would
mean the flooding of their
farms, so they resorted to the
injunction process to stop the
work. The matter will come
up for a hearing on Saturday,
June 10th.

Des Moines, Ia, June IL
johnson Brigham, state libra
rian, who delivered the COM
mencement address at Grace
land college, Lamont, the school
OF the Latter Day Saints, was
greatly interested while there
in the original manuscript re-
velation of Joseph Smith, the
first book of Mormon. The
manuscript is written legibly
and has been fairly we'll pre-
served. It is kept in a good
safe.
According to the statements
of the leaders of the church
this manuscript remained ir
possession of a man to whom it
was given by Sidney Rigdon,
and passed through various
hands until finally a member of
the family desired to sell it.
lille was offered $40 OO0 for +he
manuscript by the Utah Nor
mons, but he did not believe liz
polygamy, and preferred tohave
the book kept with the reorgan
lied church, and he sold it t.
them for a much smaller sum
President Smith holds the
manuscript as a priceless heri-
tage, and the Lamont people are
very proud of having the orig
inal manuscript with them.

The long looked for resigna-

liability that Judge Smith Nc

that if such a contingency

Mike Clayton, who has been

the quarantine about June 10th
but in some manner he got the
impression that he be freed the
9Th and accordingly took mat

came to town. One or two who
were interested in the matter
made an effort to arrest Mr..
Clayton, but he left town before
they located him. It is possible
for others to contract the dis
ease when things of this kind
occur and though one does
not care for ones self the well

The King and Queen of
Servia and their entire official
family were killed by revolu-

business over in that country

king had been a harsh tyrant

worse than he was. People, the
world over, will stand about so
much, then they rise up in their
might and settle things their
own way. A man had better
