Musical RecIssI


Those who received invitations
and attended the musical recit
given by ire pupils Of Mrs Maud
Waters, atthe Methodist Church.
Tuesday evening last, were indeed
fortunate and happily surprised at
the degree Of musical ability and
excellence displayed by the class
which was rot to be exp pected when
considered with the youthful
ness Of those participating.
Little misses, whose tiny feet
barely reach the petals, rendered
very difficult classical compositions
with the grace and expression Of
much more matured artists.
The recital throughout was
glowing tripute to the ability of
Miss Waters as an instructor and
the musical talent of her class.
The seating capacity of the
church was taxed to the limit, and
every number Of the program was
given undivided attention and gen
erously applauded, although no
encores were allowed.
The Delius orchestra assisted by |
Miss Waters filled a couple of mum |
bers on the program, and Prof.
Delius rendered violin solo, |
which handsomely contributed to
the musical treat of the evening.
Miss Alice Clarke gave two read
ings in the accustomed charming !
manner of this, one of Shoshone's
favorite artists.
Miss Hannah Davies, a littleI
Miss of II, who is the fortunate
. assessor OF a rich contralto voice,
delighted the audience with her
OF popular melody.
Miss Florence Brennan. mando
in virtusso rendered a solo on that
la.nty instrument which contrib
tied greatly to the musical feast
nd did handsome credit 70 the
'erformer.
AT the conclusion Of t. pro
ram Miss Matters and her pupils.

Anniversary Bali.

Those who attended the dance
and banquet given by the K OF P
lodge in their hall last Monday
evening declare it one of the best
times they have had this season
Everything they could possible do
for the entertainment OF their
guests was done by the Knights.
Each member of the lodge took it
upon himself as committee of one
to see that every detail of the en-
tertainment was attended to, and
by SO doing the entertainments
proved to be a success.
The music for the dance was
furnished by Delius orchestra, and
during the evening Mr. Lehman
favored the guests with some
choice vocal selections.
During the intermission of the
dance those assembled were usher
ed to the banquet hall where an

Senator Hepburn has been push

spite strong opposition on the part
of representatives of manufactures
of adulterated foods and drugs the
bill will soon come to vote in the
senate. The question has been
very thoroughly discussed in near
ly all the leading newspapers and
of the country. The
following is a short article from
the Philadelphia Inquirer, one of |
the largest newspapers in the Unit
ed States, which shows the impor-
tance and the necessity of passing
the Hepburn bill, as it is called:
"The consensus of opinion in
Washington Just now, notwith

oill will become law. The long
agitation of the pure food cause
has evidently so well educated the
public opinion that its representa-
tives are at last giving heed to the
cry for relief from the frauds and
perils Of food and beverage adul-
.eration. The passage of the bill
affects the big beef and
ood monopolies who use perserva-
ives in their products; but will not
lffect legitimate trade. The Hey

When Farmers Gamble.

Reliable reports reach us Of farm
ers in some numbers who have
bought cotton futures freely during
the past few months in certain Texas
counties. When farmers do this it
can not be hid. Every "bucket
shop" located in the small interior
towns of 800 to 5000 population will
advertise far and near the fact that
certain cotton growers are buying fu-
lures as ''hedge' against crop and
market conditions. Their wisdom
~ is praised from the very house
tops. The little wire house" holds
such farmers up to the struggling
clerk as examples Of financial fore
sight and patterns of virtue.
We know full well the hideous re-
suits of such efforts to play the cot
ton market. 1t can result in moth
ing but final financial loss to the
'lamb' who thus offers himself to
be shorn. 1t breaks down the NOR
al character Of our young manhood
and brings many to penury who
would achieve Il better fate had 1t
rot been for some wise guy among
the farmers who set the Young man ;
feet upon the wrong road. An I'M
deserved degree of prosperity due to
the high price of cotton and the hard
living to which some people have
oeen trained or to which they have
forced tenants. has filled the pockets
of a number of farmers with strange
gold that burns out their Innings UNI
til they finally place themselves in
that class of which some one said
those who lack true wisdom can
not bear prosperity" Because of
their unusually flush condition they
nave sought the wire houses"
where in hundreds of eases they
have been relieved of their painful
financial burdens. In fact, hun
dreds of thousands Of cotton dollars
have found their way back to New
York, from which they hailed last
iall, via the bucket shop route.
Public sentiment needs to be
aroused in every Southern commu'
nifty against gambling in futures
The whole system is a leech upon
our financial resources and an eat

towns, large and small. While

MORE KNoUKs FROM: FOWLER.

The extreme danger to tue reputa-
tion to Wenatchee whicn the incon-
sistent and vicious policy of the Re-
public is doing, is being brought
home every day to the citizens of
this city. For the past few weeks the
people VINO have read the Republic
have wondered at the persistent efforts
that it has made to discreuit this city
and to convince the public that iJ is q
HellnoIe and not fit place for any
one to live who values his life and
comfort. The constant declarations
of the Republic that the wafer supply
is reek ing with typhoid and otner
germs, is scarcely fit for cattle TO
drink and u lot of other statements
which are nothing but rot, which have
been thrown out without any con-
sideration for the truth or the reputa.
tion of the city.
Most of the loca! people see through
the game and know that it is but a
mother of Fowler's plays to the gal
lery; that he is attempting to satiate
his inordinate desire for noteriety by
doing something to stir up row. 1t
cuts no figure with this mau that he
is sacrificing the interests of the city
for his own selfish ends; he is entire.
ly blind to public interest when there
is chance to place Fowler in the
iimelight.
Although the people of this city
know Fowler and his absolute IRE.
spunsibility, strangers coming into this
city or :nteding to come here have no
chance to find out that Fowlers articles
on the imaginary dangers of the drink
ing water here are the merest fab1i ca-
ton and are based On nothing. They
naturally anG rightly suppose that
when such articles are published in a
newspaper, conditions must be bad.
Fowler's statements, rabid and sense
less as they are have kept many people
from Wenatchee. No man believing
that conditions here are such as Fow.
Ter depicts would consider for an 10.

slant bringing his family here to al
most certain death as these artiols
would lead him TO believe. Not one
man in thousand would place his
family in such immenent peril Fow-
Ter declares exists here His articles
have undou btedly permanently pre-
JUDGED many people against this city
and have done untold BARN. The
resuls of his wild rawlings have been
not to better the water supply Of this
city, but to keep many families away
and to needlessly frighten hundreds
who already live here.
Even had water conditions here been
had, little o,uld be accomplish ed by
such insane methods as Fowler has
adopted. His wild rawlings appear ali
the more senseless when it il we'll
known fact that the city council is and
has been working for several months
to get water supply which shall
be pure beyond question. This is a
huge undertaking and Cannot be &C.
oomplished in minute and Fowler 8
sensational mIs.statements have Ia no
way hastened the work. The financ.
ing of water system calling for the
expenditure of 100000 by a city Of
three thousand people is necessarily
slow task and to work out she de.
tails. of such scheme takes much
time and labor. Everyone that has
kept in touch with the matter knows
that all that could reasonably he ex-
pected toward good water supply has
been done. The supply now is far
better than hundreds of cities all over
che country. What senseless pro-
ceeding it has been for this silly, vain
man to advertise TO the public state
of affairs which existed only in his
own disordered brain. In an illadvis-
ed moment he has done this city al
most irreparacle damage; it will take
much time to refute Fowler's irrespon.
sible statements and make dozeus
of people from q distance VINO have
read them believe that Wenatchee is
really fit place to live in.
