Jubilee Singers

Last night the Williams
Dixie Jubilee singers gave a
concert in the opera house, and
as usual they were warmly re-
ceived. Their singing is even
better than last summer and it
is indeed regrettable that we
were unable to secure them for
a few days at Chautauqua this
year, but their dates are so ar
ranged that it will be impossible.
The solos, trios, quartettes and
concert songs were all good and
showed that they have studied
and practiced hard. 1t was a
very pleasant treat indeed and
Manager Smith was fortunate
to secure them. They had an
open date and decided they
would come here on account Of
the warm reception they re-'
ceived last summer at the chau-
tauqua.

Yesterday was the thirtictl

Yesterday was the thirticth
anniversary of the Custer Mas
sacre. AS General Custer left
Yankton at the head of his small
but brave battalion, on the morn
ing of June 25, 1876, his long
hair waving in the sunlight, he
presented a beautiful picture
of the typical western warrior.
Doubtless the only man in
Missouri Valley or, indeed
Harrison county who witnessed
this departure of Custer, is MIR.
P. q. Robinson, who was then
living in Yankton, having
shortly before arrived from
Wisconsin, his rative state.
The massacre and sad ending
of Custer was due to the same
cause that led to Napolasn''s de-
feat. His ambition to put
$500 Indians to rfllt with two
or three hurs',atl soldiers
caused him to disobey orders.
He was ordered to camp the
night of the 25th and march
the balance of the Is miles on
the 26th and be ready and re-
freshed on the morning of the
9th to meet Terry, who was to
attack the redskins on the south
and Custer on the north of
Little Big Horn. But Custer
marched till three o'clock of
the morning of the Goth and
ordering Reno with $50 men to
do that which Terry was to do
twenty-four hours later. Gem
eral Custer with 1913 men
rushed into the jaws of death.
Custer was dead one and is
dead yet and would have been
dead even though he had come
out of the fight alive, because
he would have been court mar
tailed for disobedience of or
ders.
We see people in every walk
of life who want to be the en-
tire sweitzer. Custer did, but
made an ignominious failure.

Stolen Team Recovered

The team stolen from Neu-
finds barn last week have been
recovered. They were taken
from Missouri Valley directly
to South Omaha and sold to
the Cooper Commission firm,
who later sold them to a Mr..
Dieter, who lives at Vail. Mr..
Dieter bought the team and
started for home overland.
He arrived in Missouri Valley,
Thursday afternoon and in
quired the road to Logan, little
thinking that he was in the
town from which the team he
was driving had been stolen.
Mr.. Dieter was notified about
the team by a liveryman at
Vail, who had seen the notice $
sent out by Mr.. Neufnd. Mr..
Dieter Immediately took q
train for the Valley and told
his story. Of course he is cut
nothing but the Cooper people
hold the sack. The thief has
not yet been apprehended but
we hope he will get his just
deserts.

May Terminate in Arrests Be-
ing Made.
ing ade.

MILTON, Or, March 1.-THE su-
perintendent and treasurer of the Sun
day school at the Dehaven school house
are threatened with arrest on the
charge of misappropriating funds be-
longing to the school, which formerly
met at Bowlus chapel. The person
making the threat is Mr.. Lobe, backed
up by a few followers.
At the time of the trouble, a few
weeks ago when the church building
was closed by Mr.. Lobe against a series
of meetings by Rev. Sharp, the Sun
day school was moved to the Dehaven
school house in order to avoid friction
with Mr.. Lobe. He now claims that
the officers had no authority TO move
the school and consequently no right
to expend the money in the treasury
for Sunday school supplies.
A joint meeting was held in the
chapel Sunday at which an effort was
made to adjust the matter, but with
out success. A compromise offered by
the Sunday school officials was reject
ed by Mr.. Lobe and his followers, who
renewed their threats of arrest unless
their demands were acceded to. They
finally became so insistent and over
hearing that the officials and their
friends left in a body, leaving their
accusers to their own cogitations. 1t
is understood that one of the accuse:s
came to town Monday to get legal ad-
vice with a view to making the arrest
hut with what result has not yet de-
velOped.

New Members Of State Committee
to be Selected
FIRST SATURDAY N APRIL IS DATE
STATE CHAIRMAN GOODWIN
SENDS CIRCULAR LETTER TO
COUNTY ORGANIZATIONS.
GOODWIN

A new democratic state committee
will be elected Saturday. April 7, either
through primary elections or by the ac-
ton Of the county democratic commit
tees of the state. Notice Of the cleo
tons have been sent out by Secretary
Thomas ]. Church Of the state COM
mittee to the county organizations
throughout the state.
The democratic state convention If
1902 decreed that future state commit
tees be elected on the first Saturday
in April. By the terms Of the state
may be made either by primary cleo
ton or by the action of the democratic
more convenient method in loft years."
and will probably be adopted by most
of the county organizations. A new
state committee is elected biennially.
In his letter to the county chair
man. J. w. Goodwin, head of the state
organization, suggests that if more
convenient the selection of a state COM
mitteeman can be deferred until the
county convention is held, or the choice
may be made late in the year by the
newly elected county committee.
1t is seriously questioned by demo-
Gratis whether this Interpretation of the
state conventions madate will hold
The resolution adopted specifically
provides for an election on the first
Saturday in April. Alternative meth
DDS of election are provided in the
resolution, and many democrats insist
one of these methods must be adopt
ed
BY the terms of the same conventions
ruling the new state committee must
meet on the first Saturday in May to
organize. If any county fails to choose
a new committeeman it will have to go
unrepresented at the organization
meeting, for the old member cannot
vote with the new committee unless
formally reelected. If the election of
new committeeman is delayed until
the county convention meets. the state
organization will have to be complet-
ed without representation from de-
linquent districts.
Notice of the election of new commit
teemen must be forwarded to the sec
rotary of the state committee at Seat
tie The credentials will have to be
in regular form for the organization
meeting. 1t is probable that this
will be held in Seattle.
