In opposition to the ll-foundcd doc

saloon must always bow:
!. Our children have the right to
grow up uncontaminaied by the presence
OF saloons.
Z. Parents have a right to keep their
children for lives Of Usefulness and
honor unspoiled by the saloon.
3. Reformed men have a right to

Ed. REPUBLICANS
We never claim to understand the
Bible, and have accepted without protest
the interpretations Of certain dark
passages by our teachers. The way we
look at a truth may make it appear
different from what it is. Joshua stopped
the sun. IT is 50 recorded in The kible,
and many people believe that the sun
stood still for a while in the armament;
a body more than a million times larger
than, the earth nbcys the command Of II
man. Why not
There were many very ignorant Jews
in the day Of Joshua, more Sc than in our
day, for We do not think there were
public schools Of learning. The writer
lived once in a thickly settled community
OF ignorant men. and was once called
upon to relieve a woman in a fit. and
held down by four stout men. On
entering the room the men were told
to let her go, that she was now in his
charge; the four men stood up against
the wal, while the writer made passes
over the woman for a few minutes; this
was 40 years ago. My brother came to
see ME a year ago, lie was acquainted in
that community. and was told by the
four men that when I raised my hand
over the NORMAN She was lifted two feet
IN the air. They swore 10 il. This
would be believed by their children, and
If published in a record of facts would be
accepted as a truth.

WEDDINGS
Fostor-Soarins.

There was quiet home wedding
solemnized last Saturday afternoon
at the residence OF Mrs. Rose Foster.
302 Twelfth avenue. when her dauph-
ter, Bessie, became the bride of
Frank Soaring. The rooms were
pretttly decorated with palms and
carnations. The ceremony was per-
formed at 2 O'Clock by Rev R. j.
Hunter, and was witnessed by on]v
the immediate relatives of the con-
tracting parties. The bride wore a
simple white dress and carried bride IS
roses. The couple were unattended.
Both the young people have spent
most Of their lives here and are we'll
and favorably known. The groom Is
the son Of Mr.. and Mrs. W. Fl

After a short trip in the state Mr.
and Mrs. Soaring will return to

Cyrano do Berserac.

The opera house was crowded to
its utmost capacity last Tuesday
evening, when the senior class Of the
Normal presented the annual class
play.
A new departure from the usual
Shakespearian play was taken this
year and the one chosen was the
brilliant French comedy. "Cyrano de
Bergerac, by Edmund Rostand.
The cast included more than one
hundred characters. The stage set
tings were effective, the costumes
elaborate and the performance was
intensely interesting. The success
Of tn. play was due largely to Miss
Charlotte Augur. who, as Cyrano de
Bergerac, surprised even her most
intimate friends. The part was
heavy and difficult and Miss Augur
delighted the audience with her ex-
oellent presentation Of the brilliant,
Witty and poetical Frenchman.
The characters we're all satisfac-
torily portrayed, however, though II
will be impossible to mention each
one.

Services were in Unity church.
Miss Kaufman died in Fort Col
Inns last Friday from uraemic poison
ing. The end was also fastened by
the taking of an overdose Of anti
Gamma, prescribed to quiet her
nerves after having tooth ex-
tracted. She was instructed to take
three of the powders at intervals,
but not experiencing relief and being
ignorant of the danger of the drug,
took five of the powders. Her heart
already weakened by the uraemic
poison could not withstand the dose.

The trial of Fred B. Jewell of

murder of John Strassheim, one of
his beet workers. was commenced In
the district court last Friday and is
still on. The case will probably
last couple of weeks altogether.
Jewell shot Strassheim, it is
claimed by the defense, acciden-
tally. The story came up from Fort
Morgan that Jewell had shot the
German because the latter saw one
OF the Jewell children drown In an
irrigating ditch without going to
the child's assistance. The shooting
occurred some days after the child
was dead.
The case Was brought here on a

CAUSE FOUND
DRESS SUIT TO BLAME FOR
THE STAMPEDE
lamb at Commercial Club Ban
ouet Unprecedented in His
tory of the Greeley Or
ganization

After whole day of looking mi
croscopically for the cause, OF the
whatever it was, we have come 10 the
conclusion that the dress suit vas
to blame.
When in the afternoon of the
evening when it WAS to take place. it
became whispered about town that
Sam Southard, Moss Wyatt, c. Il.
Wolfe and postmaster Gray would
appear in dress suits the rush for
tickest became like a herd Of butla-
loes stampeding for water. The re-
suit was that the house was oversold
long before the pickerel had even
been caught.
OF course everybody knows that we
are talking about the Commercial
club open banquet Monday evening.
Next, when it was discovered that
the four poItly gentlemen In Ques-
tion-as many of them as were there
at all-wore just ordinary, good Sum-
day clothes the blase amusement
seekers kicked for rain checks or for
the scalp of Landlord Hake, which
would in a measure furnish balm
for their hungry insides.
Never, never again will the house
committee Of the Commercial club
consent to let down the bars against
the dress suit at the gatherings Of
the club. 1t is relic Of barbarism
anyway and should bs relsgated to
the oblivion Of Newport and club
waiterdom. For our own suggestion
some time ago that the unfortunate
owner of s1ch set of toys be given
q chance to wear 1t out, Ne most
humbly crave the pardon Of those
who could not get into the dining
room of the new Camneld on the
evening of the banquet.
Preparations had been made to
handle 200 guests at the maximum.
Fully $50 responded and to take care
Of the extra fifty was like taking
care of q couple of pounds Of plum
pudding altar eating four q. five
pounds of turkey. 1t made things
uncomfortable.
But let us forget that part Of the
the affair and remember that the
viands were pretty good, anyway,
and the program was also worth
while. 1t consisted of talks by
Lieutenant Governor E. R. Harper,
Rev. o. A. Petty, Mrs. Grace N.
Allen and the president, j. NJ. B.
Petrikin. Then there were several
songs by all present and solos by
Mrs. o. f. Shattuck and A. G.
Adams, to say nothing of the Italian
orchestra.
But it spite of all this people
were somewhat r'iled next day be-
cause everybody in town took a no.
tion to have a square meal at the
same hour. Now what do you think
of that?
