Accomplishments Defined.


Mr.. Chill Blaine and Miss Ida Iodo-
form, the accomplished daughter Of
Ika Iodoform. will be welded two
weeks from the coming Tuesday at
the brides home, rs Bale Wire row.
We use the word accomplished" with
discrimination. Our idea Of accom-
plishments differs from that Of the
metropolitan papers. city papers do
altogether too much gushing. For in
stance they viii say that Miss So and
So is accomplished" the enumeration
of her accomplishments being a good
whip, or cross country rider. or golf
player, or anything but something use
full. The big papers never say any
thing about these feminine swels be-
ing good cooks, or good housewiveA
or good ironers. or good members, or
anything that will make homes com
Portable for husbands. They are mum
about unmarried society women being
economical in their expenditures or
praising them for their ability in max
ing over old clothes or trimming their
own hats.
According to our notion Miss Iodo-
form is accomplished" She can cook,
she can sew, she can remake old
clothes and trim her own hats. Her
singing is fairly good, although her
piano playing is a trihe lame. If any.
she irritates rather than plays the
piano, Notwithstanding that her father
spent more money for music lessons
than the piano cost him. in trying to
teach his daughter to play it. How
ever. musical accomplishments are not
absolutely essential in the making of
good housewives.
But when it comes to cooking, Miss
Iodoform is a jewel She can make
the finest soda biscuits that grateful
guests ever put in their mouths, and
can cook onions without filling the
house with odors. Miss Iodoform's
name probably has a subduing effect
on the onion doors.
A Rappy Combination.
Sim Shadley. the undertaken. has
rented space in Brumley's ice cream
parlors on Hay Press avenue, and NOV

Sang Sacred Music.
A rooster fight In violation of the
state statutes was pulled off on the
Hank Henderson farm at the edge of
town Friday night. two dozen Hopkins
sports attending.
Bill Blitzens prize bird was pitted
against Dan Druffs hitherto invincible
Buster Brown. The stakes were So a
side and the gate receipts, or rather,
barn door receipts, for the fight was in
Hendersons barn. Blitzen's rooster
won.
On their way out to the fight some
of the party tumbled into the dredge
ditch and got wet. Hank Henderson
offered to guide them back as far as the
bridge. When Hank walked ahead
carrying a lantern the sports struck up

TOuchy on Criticism.
Last week the vicious editor of the
| Weekly Sandbur enumerated some OF
our personal shortcomings. We admit
that we have some defects of charac-
ter, like the rest Of humanity, but we
don't like having them pointed out tC
us, especially in print. A man car
stand his own criticisms. but he cant
tolerate the criticisms of others.
A Gain Rather Than a Loss.
The principals and witnesses in th'
Bozeman VS.. c. & E. I. damage suit re-
turned from the county seat yesterday
The jury disagreed and the case will
have to be retired
The plaintiff. Mrs. Byron Bozeman
sued the railroad company for the
statutory amount, $4,000, for the deatl
of her husband, who was killed at thu
Broadway crossing last year while go
ing home drunk. The defendants wit
nesses testified that while they couldn'
swear positively that Bozeman wa
drunk when he was run down by tn
train, yet he must have been drunl
because he never went home sober.
The same witnesses swore that in
stead of being a loss, Mrs. Bozemal
was benefited by her husbands de
mise. Mr.. Bozeman was a non-pro
Queer. His wife took in washing, an
was the family's support. Even Nj
Bozemans jags were bought with he
money His death, if anything, was
gain rather than loss to his wife an
family. Seven of the jurymen tool
this view of it and refused to give dam
! ages.
