Dickey County Boy Making Good.

Through the kindness of Rev. R. T.
Fulton and at the solicitation of the
editor of this paper Rev. John Wright
occupied the pulpit of the Presbyterian
church last Sabbath evening. The sing
ing was made interesting by the rendi-
tion of duet, entitled, ''Hope Beyond"
by Miss Quimby of Staples and Mr..
Goulet of New York who are here to
give a musical entertainment at the
hall tomorrow evening, and at the con-
clusion Rev. Fulton sang that beauti-
full solo, entitled, 'tSaved by Grace"
The speakerhad for his subject ''Work-
ing Toward Standard" basing his re-
marks upon the text as given in Eph-
esians 4:15. He held up Christ as the
standard for human life to follow and
presented his remarks with much
earnestness and force. The services
were greeted by a full house.
/ John completed his visit here with
his brother Monday morning, when he
left for Gresham, Neb., where he will
be married this evening in the Presby-
terian church to Miss Una Van Allen,
fine young lady of that city and for
mer classmate at Park College. Mo.
From there the young couple will 60 to
Park College for few days among
old associates and will then proceed to
Philadelphia, where they will remain
until October 9Th, visiting two brothers
Of the groom and their families. On
the latter date they will sail for
Batanga, Kamerun, West Africa,
where they have been assigned a charge
under the direction of the Presbyterian
board of foreign missions. John was
chosen for this work from class Of
one hundred students at Princeton
Seminary, and while his relatives were
reluctant to see him choose the foreign
field he felt that it was his duty to
obey the call. We wish the couple
God-speed, and hope that their sojourn
abroad may be a blessing to those to
whom they may misister as we'll as to
themselves.
John is Dickey county boy. He
came here when but twelve years Of
age, and attended the country schools
west..of Glendale, later going to the
Glendale high school, from which he
graduated in 1897. The fall Of the
same year he entered Park College,
Mo-, where he took a six-year course
in academic and college work. Three
years ago he entered Princeton Semi
nary and graduated with honors from
that institution last May. Last sum-
mer he preached at New Bedford,
Mass, First Presbyterian church and

was offered the pastorate at very
tempting salary. This he declined,
however, to take up the work in the
foreign field. His higher education has
been entirely through his own efforts.
He earned his way at Park College by
working before and after school hours,
and during vacation in the earlier years
canvassed for some novelty house,
but of later years has had pastorates
each summer. The same opportunity
is open to hundreds of boys and girls of
Dickey county today.

Two Surprise Parties.

Mesdames Bittman and Petersen
planned neat surprise on Mrs. E. D.
stizel last Friday afternoon. She was
invited to go calling on Mrs. Bittman
and on arriving there ran right into q
bunch of ladies and lot of card tables.
She was little slighted about not be-
ing invited, she felt, but it took only a
few minutes to acquaint her with the
fact that the party was in her honor
and was invited to remain. The game
of $500" was called up and a So
cial hour or two spent after which de-
lightful refreshments were served.
Mrs. Stitzel was awarded the guests
prize, nice souvenir spoon, Mrs. Huff
man carried off a Battenberg center
piece for showing up the most points,
Mrs. Marshall a china plate as second
prize, and Mrs. Fay, who brags of her
good playing, carried off the BOBBY with
ease. Mrs. Stitzel will leave soon to
visit her sister and son at Madison, S.
D., and will then go to her claim in
South Dakota and remain for some
time. Ralph is attending the high
school at Madison this year.
Another quite pleasant function was
had at the home of Mrs. Marshall
Tuesday afternoon when about twenty
five ladies were invited to "a surprise on
Mrs. Baldwin. The latter had been to
dinner with Mrs. Mccartney and was
detained there until the company ar
rived when Mrs. Baldwin was ushered
in-and was just as surprised as could
be. After a few hours at the tables
Mrs. Baldwin was given a lunch cloth
as the guest prize, Mrs. Harris a china
plate as the head prize, and Mrs.
Wright a handkerchief box as the
BOBBY prize. Luncheon was served
and most enjoyable time had.

Attempted Robbery at Creamery

Attempted Robbery at Creamery
When the office of the North Ameri-
can Storage Company was opened for
business yesterday morning it revealed
the fact that safe blowers had been at
work there doing the night. The safe
door was blown off and the contents
scattered over the floor. Entrance
to the building had been effected
through one Of the rear windows, the
screen being torn off and the window
raised. There was no money in the
safe. The ledger and some papers, and
four dollars worth of postage stamps
were the only things in the safe, and
nothing was missing. The storage
company will be out new safe, and
the town is warned that expert safe
crackers are in the neighborhood. The
job was done with nitro-glycerine, and
was the work Of experts. There is no
clue to the perpetrators.

VOTE FOR THE BEST MAN.

The enemies of Judge Bell pre-
tend to believe that ne is the can.
didate of the corporations; that he
will turn the state over To their
complete domination; and that the
trusts and combines will fairly
revel in delight if he be elected.
Now, the absurdity of all this Is
apparent to every man, and to
none more clearly than to those
who indulge in such ridiculous
charges, yet the exigencies OF pol
itics seem to justify such methods
ia the eyes OF many. Judge Bell
has never been a corporation law
yer; he drew the only effective
antitrust law ever Jut on the
statutes; he collected more money
for the state from corporations for
violations of the law than any
other attorney general.
Judge Bell has been district at
torney, district judge, state senator
mem Der of congress, and attorney
general. and he was efficient, clean
and honest in all these places. The
unanimous, enthusiastic testimony
Of those who know him best and
those who served with him In
high places is that he lie clean
handed, high.minded and most
capable. He has proved his Ca
pacity. This paper plays no favor
ties in personal sense. The ques-
ton of electing the best man
governor transcends in importance
the personal attractions or per-
sonal ambitions Of any individ-
ual. The high trust Of governor
of Texas should be committed
only TO a man Of proved capacity
in matters of statecraft. The OBJ
| legation to vote for the best man
rests upon every citizen, not as a
privilege, but a. an imperative
duty Houston Chronicle.

Colonel Ames is a grandson of Gen

General Adelbert Ames. and he thus
unites in his person two families

Butler hoped to see the family tradi-

vented such hopes from being realized.

eral Ames and a son was born to them
In 1871 the infant was given General
Buffers surname as his Christian
name In the hope that he would adopt
the military profession. The boy was
educated at West Point and entered
the army, but resigned to take a course
In engineering at the Massachusetts
Institute Of Technology. He was for
a time an electrical engineer, but at
