Mrs. C. P. Schooley, of Sioux
City, was the guest of the
Misses Murphy yesterday.
A Deli !htfuI Aftern oon

The cosy home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. H. Bail was a bower of
beauty yesterday afternoon, the
occasion being a o'clock
luncheon given by Mrs. Bail, to
which some fifteen ladies were
invited. A delicious five course
luncheon was served the guests,
which was one of the most
elaborate of the season. The
decorations were ferns and car
nations, the place cards being
water color autumn leaves.
This luncheon was the first of
a series of entertainments to
be given by Mrs. Bail, another
to be given this evening.
The affair was decidedly
formal and the ladies passed
the hours SO pleasantly they
scarcely realized that time had
flown so fast. Mrs. Bail proved
herself a charming hostess as
usual.

The government has decided
to ask for bids for the construc-
1ion of the canal in Panama. 1t
would seem the work could be
ione much faster under the SUI
oervision of contractors who
;lre interested in their work,
than by sending down engineers
and superintendents in the pay
of the government. The latter
too many times, work for their
salary and do not care very
much what they accomplish;
but give a contract to a good
firm and there is no doubt of
their getting the work done
satisfactorily and expeditiously.
Of course the job is mighty big
and we have very little idea of
The work to be done, but there
have been other cases where
the government has not done
-,ery good work in the construc-
lion of certain buildings, etc.

minis. Chose ye whom you will
have to rule over you. The
fact is, these two candidates
for Governor are so nearly
agreed in their public profess
ions that a political choice is
hard to make, the difference be-
ing about the difference be-
tween "tweedeldee and twedle-
dum," and after the smoke of
battle clears away, we will all
wonder what all this noise has
been about. Like the long con-
test in Engls nd between the
house of York and Lancaster,
the peole found at last, that the
contest was more personal than
political, and that England had
to pay the fiddler at last. SO
it will be now; no difference
who is elected, the people will
continue to pay tax. D. M. H.

Lincoln, Neb, Oct. 9.-Mich-
ael O'Connor of Missouri VAL
ley, Ia, is in the city on a
double mission. lie is visiting
his brother, Thomas O'Connor,
and is negotiating with Burling-
ton authorities in relation t.,
the use of patent door on
their locomotives, of which he
is the patentee and out of
which he has already assur-
ances of making a fortune.
This door in some way separ-
ates the hot and cold air in an
engine and has a tendency to
soften the water in the boilers.
Several railroads have adopted
it and are now paying him a
royalty for Its use. Mike
O'Connor was for many years
an employe of the Burlington
at Plattsmouth, and is remem-
bered by most Of the Havelock

Political Speaking.

The question of political speak.
ing at county fairs is an open
question, surrounded with very
doubtful propriety, but as our
fair managers acted in perfect
fairness, and invited both DO
litical parties, through their
most distinguished representa-
tlves, to address the people at
the fair, no serious objec-
tion can be urged against
the action of the Fair in invi-
ting Gov. Cummins and Claude
r. Porter, the opposing candid
ates for Governor of Iowa, to
address the people on the fair
grounds ON different days du-
ring fair week, and if the two
distinguished gentlemen who
did the talking entered no COM
plant, the hearers should feel
satisfied.
Wednesday afternoon, Gov.
Cummins addressed. perhaps,
the largest number of citizens of
Harrison county ever addressed
by a public speaker and we pre-
sumo, he presented his side of
the question in as favorable a
light as it can be stated, as he
is a brilliant speaker, but as we
do not propose to re-hash the
address of either gentlemen.
but to leave it entirely where
they left it, leaving the decis-
ion to be settled by the voters
in November next.
Thursday afternoon Claude
r. Porter, the democratic cam
didate for Governor, appeared
on the same stand and proceed
ed in a short speech, in a very
abely and earnest manner, to
present his side of the matter,
ard now the people will have to
decide for themselves, at the
coming election, which man is
to be honored by an election to
the great office of Governor of
the great State of Iowa. That
MIR. Porter made a good i'm
preston on the mind of the
people he addressed was evil

Nebraska and Iowa seem
we'll represented in the diplo-
matte and financial, also execu-
tive departments of the govern
ment. .Magoon of Nebraska
has just been made provisional
Governor of Cuba, an honor
sought by several distinguished
gentleman of the east. Can it
be possible that the western
people are acquiring the art of
diplomacy? AS a rule the
western people are more am
bilious than those of the larger
cities in the east, many of the
latter being effeminate in some
respects, and others morally un-
balanced.

The Coming Election.

The November election is fast
approaching; a few weeks and
the voters of Iowa will deter
mine by their votes who is to
guide the old ship of State over
the breakers for the next two
years. The voters who must
decide this question have four
tickets from which to chose,
and it will be their own fault If
they make a bad selection.
They have the Democrat, Re-
publican, Temperance and So
cialist, and may be Independent,
and if none of these suit the
voter, he can, on the day of the
election, place his hat on a block
and in it depot his ballot for
just who he wishes, and if his
vote fails to be counted, it may
count just as much, perhaps, as
if it had been voted in a booth,
who knows?
The contest is, no doubt, be-
tween the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties; either Governor
Cummins or Claud R. Porter
will be elected. If Gov. Cum
minis is reelected, it will change
the established American Gus
tom of two terms in the same
office, from Washington to
Roosevelt, and from the first
Governor Of Iowa to Cummins,
but then this is Iowa's first Com

Certainly the most interest
ing news to all classes of peo-
Pile is that with regard to de-
natured alcohol. AS soon as
the government issues it's bulle-
tin with regard to the uses of
commercial alcohol for motive
power and also the laws govern
ing its manufacture, the peo-
pie will be studying the situa-
tlon. 1t would seem that
plants should be established in
the smaller towns for making
it and thus avoid the necessity
of having it made and cornered
by the large corporations.

event of yesterday was the
game of base ball between the

Some 10000 spectators braved

perhaps they are sorry today.

Last Evenings Lecture

Prof. Patty gave his lecture
on radlum, liquid air, and wire
less telegraphy last evening as
scheduled. Prof. Beveridge
stated that the Missouri Valley
Quartette would render a Sc
lection, which they did very
credltably. This quartette is
composed of John O'Connor,
Denny Kirlin, Ward McGavren
and Guy Kelsey. Prof. Patty
then commenced his lecture.
taking radium as the first sut-
ject. He explained that no
practical use was made of
radium as yet but that perhaps
at some later day it might be
used extensively for the treat
ing of diseases. AS it is worth
SIS, 100000 a pound, Mr.. Patty
does not carry very much with
him.
The wireless telegraphy was
intensely interesting and the
audience absorbed his lecture
eagerly. He demonstrated
that wireless messages would
soon be sent all over the world;
also that power plants might
be started and stopped at will
by wireless manipulation.
The demonstration of liquid
air was perhaps the most
interesting. He froze flow
ers at will; cooked beef steak,
and did many other things
equally startling. He put a
tea pot on a cake of ice,
put in some liquid air and the
kettle steamed as though filled
with water and sitting on a
stove.
The crowd was certainly
very satisfactory to the stu
dents of the high school, to
whom most of the credit is due
for the large number of tickets
sold. The teachers of course.
arranged the matter and
started them out right. PROF..
Patty is a pleasing speaker end
handled his subject very
creditably. AS a whole the
lecture was highly pleasing to
everyone present and certainly
instructive to all. We are glad
they had Prof. Patty come here.

Was Terrible

Although two score years
have passed since that terrible
night in Washington, every de
tail of the tragedy is as fresh
in the mind of Mrs. Evans as
though it had occurred yester-
day. She was then a young
woman of 20, and played
"Shalpe," a maid, in "Oul
American Cousins. J"
Her vivid description of one
of the most tragic events ir
American history blended
strangely with the dancing OF
the gayly dressed chorus girls
and the flippant lines of the
musical comedy on the stage
few feet away. Five minutes
later, as she literally bounded
onto the stage, the appreciative
audience laughed at he,
grotesque makeup, and it was
hard to believe that she had
taken part in the scene which

green room with another young
actress when we heard the
pistol shot. We knew that it
was not a part of the play, and
the whole company rushed out
upon the stage. Booth had al

ence was wild. Men and
women had arisen from their
seats and were rushing toward
the stage.
81 ran over to the presidents

head in wife's lap. His cheeks
were pale. Mrs. Lincoln had

cat first the audience didn't
realize that it was so bad.
Then someone said, The presi-
dent is shot!' and the excite
ment was terrible. We were
ordered off the stage, and went
at once to our dressing rooms.
We put on our street clothes as
quickly as possible and went
home. My husband, j. F..
Evans, was a member of the
cast, and two other members of
the company lived at cur

Wedding Bells

At high noon today two we'll
known young people of CAL
houn were united in marriage
by Justice Phillips, of this city.
They were Herbin Rowe and
Miss Ruth Messer. Herbin
Rowe is a son of John |. Rowe,
of this city, and the bride the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse
Messer, of Calhoun. The cere-
mony occurred at high noon,
after which a bountiful we'd
ding dinner was served to the
guests, some fifty being pres
ent, including also relatives.
The happy couple will leave
Il is evening for Chicago and
,ther eastern points on a honey
moon trip, after which they
will make their home near this
city. Many beautiful and ap-
,ropriate wedding gifts were
received, indicating the popu-
larity of both of the young peo-
pie.
The Times joins with a host
of friends in extending them
their congratulations, and wish
them many years of happiness
and prosperity.

was received, and the common
expression was that his speech
was able, calm, earnest and gen
tlemanly, free from abuse or
slang, and an appeal to facts
and reason; his manner was at
tractive, his points discussed
stated plain, and his arguments
thereon we'll calculated to make
a favorable impression upon his
hearers and will, no doubt, bear
fruit in November.
1t is not now so much ques-
tion of who is elected Governor
as it is important to secure an
honest, faithful public servant,
one who will guard and protect
the best interests Of the people
of the State. THIS is not a Ma
tional election but one of State
Importance alone, and the man
who will, in your opinion, best
promote happiness and prosper

name is Cummins or Porter, de-
serves your vote. That both
Cummins and Porter are able
men none will deny, but we can
only elect one, and the selection
of the best one is now the SUI
preme duty of the people of all
parties, and upon their decision
depends largly the best interest
of all the people. That Mr..

on the people by his short visit,
is true, but the final result can
only be realized by the vote in
