The Simple Life.

1t is not true that lecture and
chautauqua committeesare looking
for different program each year?
Lectures on "Grit" and "Gump-
tion" are galore-and we. must
have them. The sunshine spread
ing lectures are numerous. There
is a plethora. of patriotic addresses.
The race problem offers many
points of departure for orators, and
there platform orators to present
them all. a The political debate is
sometimes an attraction and the
"follies of society" has numerous
revealers. And you have heard
these subjects, haven't you? The

season was the Hard Times bali :

some of the dancers were attired.

were in attendance to lend spirit to :
to the success of the dance.
After dancing until midnight
the merry throng made their way
to the banquet hall over the opera

President B.4R. -Shimp in the chair
and Miss Winifred Cendit, secreta-
Try. A splendid program was ran-
dered, several selections being en-
eored.k' The feature of the evening
1 ysas tire appearance of Pearl and
Bryan Yaden, dressed with paint
and appropriate costunae, in a jap
anese song, which produced consid
erable merriment among those
present.
AS is customary at these meet
ings question is taken up every
meeting for debate and the one be-
fore the society at this meeting was
whether or not a United States
Senator should be elected by a di-
rect vote. The debate was not as
spirited asit might have been, as
many of the speakers seemed to be
on the wrong side and could not
make the debate that was expected
from thSm. Wilson J. Burkhardi
however seemed to be in his ele-
ment. In his address he express
ed his opinion quite freely and took
the position that Senators as a rule
did not give satisfaction that mem
oers of congress did. Miss Min-
lie Yaden, speaking for the-nega-f
i've, objected to mr. Bufkhard's
,oing too far from beaten paths of
politics. Mr.. Shimp became warm

\ Clyde Senter met with an acci-

Saturday evening that will not

for q couple of months but will
also cost him the loss of his left
foot.
Mr.. Senter was at the depot

between the platform and the
train, the wheels of the car passing
over his left foot before he was
able to take it from the rails. The
train was stopped and medical
assistance called as quickly as
possible, when it was found that
the foot was SO badly crushed that
would be necessary.

the lack of coal supply. That

cold fields of Wyoming to investi-
gate and repor on the conditions
at the mines, and to determine as
to their ability to furnish coal l
also held meeting with all local
dealers in this city in my office to-
day.
After careful consideration of
the whole matter l feel warranted
in saying that your company is
wholly to blame for the serious

which the people are suffering. II

A DAGO
Made 1t Interesting Before
He Was Legally
Strung Up

Newark, N. j., March 23.-Guiseppe
Marmo, an Italian, was hanged here
during the day for the murder of his
brother-in-law, Nunzio Marinana. The
struggle which Marmo had made to
save himself from the gallows was
unusual. Not only did he exhaust all
the methods known to law, but several
times made attempts to escape from
confinement. In the courtroom, after
he had been sentenced to death for the
third time. he suddenly drew an iron
bar from the leg of his trousers an
made an unsuccessful break for free
dom. In the attempt court officer
was severely injured. Soon after,
while being removed to Jail, he made
another break and was overpowered
only after another officer had been Sc
verelv hurt Even after that he sue
ceeded in getting another reprieve,
but was unsuccessful in getting the
verdict set aside. He vas sentenced
% death for the fourth tme March 8.
4 last effort to save him was made
when his counsel applied to the Unit
ed States supreme court for writ of
habeas corpus. The application was
denied by the court Wednesday.
