BEAUTIFUL
FLOWER SHOW
-
Congregational Ladies Scored
a Fine Success.
MAGNIFICENT DISPLAY
Ladies Now Plan To Make the
Flower Show an Annual
Affair.

The flower show given in the Con-
gregational chapel Wednesday after
noon and evening was one OF theevents
OF the season and very attractive. II
vas under the auspices OF Branch ID.
OF the ladies OF the church, who are to
be congratulated on the success attend
ing their efforts to put up what was
probably one OF the finest exhibitions
ever seen in this village. In this they
we're assisted 10y members OF other
churches and the probabilities are that
the annual flower show will be a regu-
lar affair in the future.
There we're flowers Of all kinds and
arranged in all ways, in abundance.
Flowers in boquets, flowers loose,
flowers in vases, in baskets, flowers in
wreaths, flowers in connection with
ported plants, in fact flowers we're
everywhere visible. In connection with
these there was tulip bed where one
could buy tulip, made Of paper, and
procure with it prize, not only USE
ful but ornamental.
The display of Gladioli from the
CoGee farm in Berlin was the chief
center OF attraction. Mrs +. b. Girls
void displayed large collection OF
Begonias which we're the object OF
much attraction.
The show was not made up complete
ly of flowers and plants. There was an
ice cream and cake table, a table
where one could purchase vases and
other receptacles for flowers, these and
other attractions all being well patro-
nized. The ladies comprising the
membership OF the branch, were indie
fatigable in their efforts to please
every one and the general verdict is
that they succeeded. Quite a good
sam goes to the benefit of the church.

den reception under the auspices Of
the Commercial Travellers Antitrust
league Probably then you will find
that | shall discuss subjects ! have
spoken of before" Mr. Bryan added,
with twinkling eye. 1t was said that
the conference might have some
weight regarding the features of to-
nights speech, which will be in the
nature of a response by Mr.. Bryan to
the Endorsements which recently have
been accorded him by various state
conventions as the next Democratic
presidential candidate.
Asked polntedly regarding the prob
ability of his candldature, Mr. Bryan
said he had nothing to add to the let
ter he wrote former Senator j. X.
Jones of Arkansas, in which he said
he might accept third nomination
under conditions which he named.
At the conference at the home OF Mr..
Nixon were Mayor Tom l.. Johnson Of
Cleveland, O.; National Committeeman
Campau of Michigan, Mack of New
York and Baughman of Maryland, VIII

WHY CLEMENT SHOULD WIN.
Independent Republican Think, State Reform
Rsquirsslt

NNNANNfNf
Editor OF the Banner: think the
Proctor speakers are trying to mis-
lead the voters and are trying to make
them believe that II Mr. Clement should
be elected that he would be invested
with the power to repeal oil the laws
that arc now on the statute books that
are not to his liking and make others
that would suit him.
Now II understand II right the
governor has but very little TO do In
regard to making or laws. a bill is
introduced and II 1t passes both houses
and is signed by the Governor IL be
comes a law Now they are finding u
great deal OF fault because Clement in
troduced some measure in regard 10
some railroad matter that has been
very detrimental TO the state. Why
did our legislature pass such an OBJ
lectlonal bill through both houses and
the Governor sign the same IL II was
not rightY
They would like TO make us believe
that Clement has the power TO SEND
all OF our insane back to the towns
that they come from and break up all
the laws that have been passed.
one thing he forced our law makers
10 do and that was TO do away with
that old prohibition force that had
burdened the state for fifty years and ]
notice that any reform that he is in
favor Of even II the republicans had
never thought OF II or II so had never
spoke OF 1t they are ready to adopt.
| notice too that the only remedy We
have according TO one OF the speakers
for reform in our state prison is to
give the officials more pay. That Is
the policy OF the republican party and
70 create more Offices for more pets
and II is about time for the people to
think for themselves and make up their
minds whether such things are right
at least this is the mind OF one
Independent Republican.

MAY ESTABLISH HOME
Fresh Air Children From Brooklyn May Have
Permanent Home Here

1t is stated that through the influence
OF Rev Lynn r. Armstrong several
gentlemen from Brooklyn are expected
this week to look over a number OF lo-
calitles with the view of establishing a
permanent fresh air home for the poor
children Of that city.
For the last two or three seasons
parties OF poor children have been en-
tertained at the NJ V. b. Armstrong
farm in the western part OF Benning-
ton. The outing for the children has
been made possible through the charity
emanating largely from the wealthy
members of Rev DR. Theodore L. Guy
ler's church OF Brooklyn. The chill
dren have been cared for mostly in
large wall tents and.it is now proposed
to have more substantial quarters.
The party OF children at the Armstrong
farm will return to Brooklyn Monday
and will probably be succeeded by one
more party before the close of the sea-
son.
Mr. Armstrong is expected here this
week for his annual vacation at which
time further developments will be know

Los Angeles. They told him they were
going to San Francisco and would stop at
the Hamilton hotel but expected to come
home soon by way of Portland. The Hamil-
ton was destroyed, but Mr.. Blackburn
thinks perhaps the Omaha women had left
San Francisco in time to escape the wreck.
Mr.. Blackburn also thinks Miss Clara
Thomas did not reach San Francisco before
the earthquake. She was to have left Santa

train was delayed in one place thirty hours
he had opportunity of seeing everybody on
