Happy Friday Night

The Intsr Sese Club Made the Bachelors
Happy Friday Night
The reception given 70 the gentlemen
friends by the Inter Sess club, an Or
ganization Of young ladies, Friday
evening at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Aten, was, In the minds Of the
guests at least, one Of tie most enjoy
able social gatherings Of the season.
The invitations sent out were made Of
pink card board in the form Of a heart.
On it vas written the invitation, ending
il this playful way: Wen be grieved If
you don't come"
Some thought that the tender hearted
young men came because they did not
want to see the fair maidens grieve and
others thought the older, harder hearted
almost bachelOrs-came because they
couldn't stay away. These were only
the shifting thoughts Of the Inter Sese
members, but the fact Of the matter is
all the young men knew that a valen-
tine party given by the club would con-
fer 10 ordinary pleasure and so they at
tended, almost without an exception,
and when they departed left warm ex-
pressions Of appreciation.
The rooms were prettily decorated
with festOOns Of pink card board hearts
and pyramidsl hangings Of cOlored crepe
paper, while in one corner, under a can
Opy Of lace depending srrigs Of mistle-
toe was a settee for tEo-expressive Of
a silent idea that it was not to be mon
OpOlized.
Progressive hearts was the game of
the evening. The prize-a breast pin,
being tiny gold heart mounted upon
base Of Pearl-was won by Richard
Auer, be being the lucky one IN drawing
lots in a tie Of three for games
Refreshments were served after which
a caricsturs valentine and a pink carna-
tiOn-the club fiower-were presented
to each one, mementos Of the day.

The people, not wanting to believe it,
could scarcely realize that death had
laid his uncouth hand upon a woman of

upon the town like a cloud upon an
otherwise pleasant day.

OmeiaIs in GOOdIand Tuesday on General
Inspection With View Of Increasing
Railroad Works and Putting
in Electric Light System

It's admitted by those who are in q
position to know, that the Rock Island
company will soon make large and ex-
tensive improvements in their railroad
works here.
With this IN view, GoOdnow, gen.
ersI manager; Barnum, superintendent
Of motive power; White, superinten-
dent Of maintenance, buildings and
bridges; Cablel superintendent Of
roads west Of the Missouri river, and
Cole, travelling engineer Of the
Of the Colorado division, we're 10 Good

They arrived at six o'clock in the
morning, and left at Z o'clock Wednes-
day morning for Denver, Colorado
Springs and Pueblo.
a thorough inspection of the plant
was made, measurements we're taken,
and a definite plan formulated, the
carrying out of which viii call for the
expenditure Of 100000.
The machine shops will be remOd-
eled. The south end will be used to
stable engines, cars and caboOses,
while undergoing repair. More tracks
will be laid into it. Doors will be cut
through on the west end, and the
tracks continued, SO that the rolling
stock from the shops can be shunted
out of the way, and switched on to the
main track either east or west as soon
as they are needed for the road.
The central portion Of the shops,
now occupied by the FORCES, will prob
ably be left in tact except to add to the
number of FORCES to Increase smithing
facilities. An addition will be built on
to the north end of the shops to allow
sufficient space for the placing of q
good many more machines, and to pro
vide room for the carpenter shop.
The old ten-stan round house will be
torn down, and the arc of the other one
continued and enlarged to 80 stalls
This will also be heightened to allow
all engines to enter in the clear, the
largest of which cannot now be entire
" housed on account of their length.
A dynamo Of sufficient power will be
installed and an electric light system
put in on their grounds. The shops
round house, hotel, passenger and
freight depots, and every place where
needed, viii be provided with electric
lights.
The company is telegr sphing al
over the country to secure maehinists
and Iaboring men, in readiness to pust
the work aud it is estimated that wheI
the new order of things is established
here the Rock Island shops here vii
employ 300 men.

are considered together with the steam

Mrs. Jennie Steadman- Walker was Al
years old. She was married at Man
chester, Ia, to William Walker, Febru-
airy II, 1872 years ago the day Of the
funeral
Mr.. and Mrs. Walker came to Eustis,
Sherman county, in 1856. Mr.. Walker
was associated with William Ennis, later
moving to Goodland, and continuing
until 1898. Mr.. Walker was postmaster
under both terms Of the Cleveland ad-
ministration, serving the first term il
Eustis and the second in GOOdiand, and
only last January retired from the office
Of sheriff, having served in that capa-
city three years
Mrs. Walker alEsys was a prom
inent figure IN the social circles Of
GOOdland. For many years she was
worker in the Congregational church.
and always kept up her church relation
ship.
In 1900 when Sheriff Walker and his
deputies encountered the Union Pacific
train robbers IN deadly conflict, Mrs.
Walker manifested faithful and heroic
qualities. She was calm and self pos
sessed in the thought that right is might
and that her husband would be saved
to her because his cause was Just And
90 be was.
At the time Of her death Mrs. Walker
was past department president aud the
present department inspector Of the
Woman's Relief Corps, and state oracle
of the Royal Neighbors Of America. Her
official duties necessitatsd considerable
travel over the state and she came in
contact and won the friendship Of many
prominent women in the state.
Mrs. Walker possessed an amiable
disposition; she was strong in character,
and was refined and gentle in her bear
ing. From the start her popularity
extended only to the people Of the town,
where nearly all Of her acquaintance had
been formed, but when Mr.. Walker was
appointed postmaster of GOodland she
acted as his deputy. Here she met all
the people, and her uniform courtesy
and kindness kindled itself in every
heart. She was admired for her pleasing
presence, Fevered because her sympa-
thies were broad and deep; loved be-
/ cause she was a true and noble woman.
/ Hence her life was an ver-brightening
light. It grew In intensity and power,
/ It's kindly beams shOne far. Her sue
oesses were the successes OF the town in
which she lived, and verify she will be
missed.

She was the idol Of her husband, and
