There will be lots of work for
the citizens of Mo. Valley to do
the comming summer, and if
there will ever be a time on
earth when the citizens should
pull together as one man, that
time will be next summer. The
work to be done will interest
every resident of this city, and
every man should feel an in
terest. Why wouldn't it be a
good idea for our citizens to get
together and have only one
ticket in the field at next
election? 1t don't make
any difference whether the
men selected are democrats or
republicans the only question
to consider is: are they for the
upbuilding of Mo. Valley?
Think this over, gentleman, and
see if you don't think it would
be better for the city to dispense
with the political fight in the
city election this spring.

Six O'clock Dinner

Rev. and Mrs. MacAllister
entertained a few friends last
evening at a six o'clock dinner.
The dinning table was very
dainty and pure in it's appoint
ments. The centerpiece was a
large epiergn filled with cara
nations shaded from delicate
pink to crimson. The dinner
served in courses was so temp
ting that everyone forgot all
resolutions they had ever made
in regard to not indulging in a
heavy meal in the evening and
gave the hostess ample evidence
of their appreciation of her
skill. The guests were served
by Misses Nellie and Maude
MacAlllster. Upon the reverse
side of the place cards there
was found a conundrum which
exercised the wits and gave
zest to the conversation for a
while. Social converse and
music made up a very delight
full evening.
The fortunate guests this
time were Mr.. Wattles, Messrs
and Mesdames White, w. M.
Carlisle, R. Kendall, Hosbrook,
Bail, Beveridge, Dewell.

ElkHORN MEN GUESSING.
Question Concerns Dispc csltlcn of
Omaha General Officers by
Northwe stern.

lntens einterest, coupled with
some anxiety, is felt by officials
at Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri
Valley railroad headquarters re-
garding the coming purchase of
that line by the Chicago & North
western railway, says the Bee.
A meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the latter system has
been called for February 10, to
complete the deal. What will
then happen to the Elkhorn
headquarters here and it's occu-
pants is the burning question.
AS one of these put it:
II don't think there is any
question that that the name Ere
mont, Elkhorn & Missouri Vail
ey will become a thing of the
past. Undoubtedly the whole
thing will become the North
western system. And when they
do away with that name what
will they do with us? Will we be
consolidated and drawn into
Chicago, willw be left here, or
will we be left out?
'No inkling has come to us of
what our fate will be. 1t is UNI
reasonable to suppose that the
Northwestern will maintain
headquarters here for very long.
Concentration is the whole story
with the railroads now, anyhow.
See how quick the Sioux City &
Pacific dropped out of existence
after its purchase. 1t was left
no general Offices nor any other
Office. 1t simply became a part
of the Chicago & Northwestern
system. But Of course that is a
much smaller matter than the
Elkhorn. Yet | think they will
do away with every trace of the
old Elkhorn general Offices"

In a talk with a farmer yes
terday, who lives south east of
the Valley, he told the Times
that the farmers over in that
country were ready to donate
two days labor of themselves
and teams toward putting the
roads leading into St. John from
the east, in good order when
ever the citizens of Mo. Valley
expressed a willingness to help.
The Commercial Club should
look this matter up Immediately
and work with the farmers
over in that neighborhood and
get that road in good passable
condition before the spring
rains come. A large majority
of the farmers over in that
neighborhood say that it would
be no use to put the old town
grade above high water mark
unless this road was fixed, as in
the spring they cannot get to
the grade from their farms.
Gentlemen, here is work to do.
and it should be done immedi-
|ately. Get a move.

ELkHORN REFUSES
ACONFERENCE
General Manager Bldwell viii
Await ACtlen Of Larger
Western Rsads
Men WIN Put Up Fight.

1t has just developed that
General Manager Bidwell of
the Elkhorn refused to grant a
conference with his trainmen
and conductors, but preferred to
await action of the bigger vest
er.l roads, before listening to
the committee or giving an an
sver to the mems request, says
the Omaha News.
A leader of the Elkhorn Joint
committee gives the story of
the wags movement as follows:
Representatives of fifty-two
western railroads met June 80
and formulated a note to be
sent to all the managers of the
respective roads, asking for a
20 per cent increase in wages
for conductors and trainmen
and double pay ON all trains of
over thirty-five cars, having
more than two engines. We
set January 5 as the time for a
reply.
"On that date the Union Paci-
fic and Elkhorn committees
met in Omaha; but neither have
been granted a conference.
Among the committees repre-
senting the other railroads,
some received what they re-
quested, sorla were offered a
compromise nd some were not
even granted a conference.
"The committees represent
altogether 100000 men. The
conductors have $35O,00O in
their treasury and the trainmen
100000. AS the men are in
condition to fight, if necessary,
no compromise on the original
demands will be accepted.
I'VE are all laying low at
the various points by the orders
of our grand lodge officers,
awaiting the action atSt. Louis.
What the st. Louis committee
decides to do will be done by
all all the joint committees

There has been heavy export
demand for France as we'll as

creased $4,000, leaving a total
visible now of 49,O55,00O against
59,375,OOO last year. The
worlds shipments 5,598,00o;
owing to the heavy cash de-
mand for export and by millers
condition favor higher prices.
Corn, The visible supply in
creased $4,000, total visible now
7,385,000 against 1l,532,0O0
last year. The export houses
are still unable to get cars for
shipment to the seaboard. TIE
cash demand continues excel

grain to the seaboard the clear
ance would be much heavier.
Corn is being offered quite

Old Folks Party

Miss Matte Morgan invited
the members of the Multi Sc
cundi Club to be her guests
last evening, but as she opened
the door instead of the young
folks who make up that gay
club, she was confronted with a
body Of old ladies with snow
white hair, wearing speetacles,
and garbed in dresses of somber
color, with white neck-kerchief
and aprons, each carried on her
arm an old fashioned "reticule"
from which bright knitting
needles protruded. The men
who accompanied these ancient
DANES showed evidence of de-
crepetude, feeble and bent, sup
porting themselves upon canes,
their walk indicated they were
either the victims of gout or
some kindred infrmity. Most
of them looked as if they had
never met a barber or heard of
a razor in all their lives as their
hirsute adorement would have
put to shame a German pro-
fessor or Polish dancing
master.
The old folks took possession
of the house and 'gossipped and
knit for dear life until the
hostess introduced progressive
crokinole and it was good to
see how they adapted them
selves to this modern game.
"Old man" Barnett came out
ahead and received a bar of
"Beat 'Em All" soap, and a
sweet faced old lady by the
name of Briggs who could not
catch on to the new ways was
given a bottle of catsup.
Of course there was a bust
ness meeting and a talk upon
current events when the degen-
eracy of the times were dealt
with and then a good old
fashioned lunch was served
with a copious supply of tea.
The knitting was rolled up and
the pink checked old ladies
were in quite a f1utter until
they were properly protected
from the chill air, and they
were safely seen to their home
by the gay old gallants. Even
being old has any amount of
fun in it if you know that the
wrinkles can be warshed away
and the hair will be restored to
its original color and stiffness
and canes can be laid away the
next morning, so the members
of that club think being old for
one evening glorious fun and
declare the evening an immense
success.
