Have Been.
The following Marconigram came to-
day to the society department of the
State Journal but by mistake the polit-
zeal reporter got hold of it:
Kansas City, April 24.-The beautiful
home of Mr.. and Mrs c. s. Jobes at
1886 Lydia avenue was brilliantly light
ed all last evening until after 10 o'clock
the occasion was the hftieth birthday of
Mr. Jobes and few of Mr.. JObes' old
neighbors and friends were invited in to
help him celebrate the occasion.
Mr.. Jobes had thoughtfully postponed
his birthday till after the expiration of
Lent, so there was no reason why the
guests should not enjoy themselves to
the utmost, and a good time was had.
During the evening Mr.. Jobes was pre-
scented with a beautiful gold-headed
cane and the guests minated that the
next time he has fiftieth birthday they
should like to come again.

season for this crowd, and the costumes

Mr.. Jobes made the nominating speech
which started Senator Long on his 20
litical career. and the occasion was re-
called last evening 1t was at the IA
nous "Coldwater convention" This is
supposed to be one reason why Mr..

The after dinner stories were mostly
"reminiscences of old times in the Big
Seventh except when George Clark
broke in with fish stories. AS has been
previously remarked, the guests re-
NAMED until a late hour and good
time was had
The Republican congressional COM
mittee of the Seventh district is holding
meeting at Hutchinson today instead
of a Wichita. Many Republicans who
are not members of the committee will
also attend the meeting, which will be
for the purpose of talking over the cam
paign. though why a committee should
bother about it is not evident.
Governor Bailey is hard at work get
ting the executive residence ready to en-
terrain President Roosevelt next week.
