Secretary Goodwin Gives His
Personal Views of the Pos
sibi|ities in Connection With
Hawkins Springs.
WOULD HAVE NATIONAL
Y. M. c. A. TAKE 1T UP.
Suggestions Received with En-
thusiaSm and Attention of
General Organization May
Be Called to Matter Soon.

Will Richmond become a second Ge
neva. a Y. NJ. c. A. summer instruction
place for the various associations Of
Indiana: Chautauqua directors are
enthused and think so. This train of
speculation and it's attendant enthusi-
asm have arisen from the remarks cf
Secretary George Goodwin. of the 10
cal Y. NJ. c. A. who Tuesday night
said that after viewing the Hawkins
Springs site. east of the city. he sees
no reason why the plat, with proper
expenditures. can not be turned into a
summer instruction camp for the assO-
citation. Mr.. Goodwin said his views
We're not expressed as an official of the
y. NJ. c. A, but they were his person
al beliefs. He would have the national
directors take charge of the addition
and place it in much the same improv-
ed condition as has already been plan
ned by the chautauqua board Of direc-
tors. This would place all chautauqra
events in the hands of the Y. NJ. c. A
which field is an integral part of the
association work in many other cities.
A Rival to Geneva.
BY making improvements. the addi-
tion could be placed in admirable po-
sition TO entertain summer Y. NJ. c. A.
meetings of all character. while the
big Indiana state Y. NJ. c. A athletic
meets could be held there. Boys
training schools could be established
during the summer months. 1t could
be made almost second Geneva. Rich
mond would profit more. Mr.. Goodwin
thinks, if the addition were placed uu-
der the control of the Y. NJ. c. a. than
it would if managed by individuals.
Secretary Goodwin's remarks We're
greatly favored and placed an entirely
different construction on the perma-
nent chautaqua home project. So en-.
Unused are the directors and guarau-
tors that they may set about immedi-
ately in interesting the national Y. NJ
C. A. officers in the venture.

Hamilton's Made Many Wyoming
Friends.

The most notable affair of the season
was held at Nelson'sS Hall, at Big Piney
Wy, on January the eleventh in honor
of Mrs. Lenna Hamilton a member of
the Twentieth Century Club, and who
is departing for her old home in Iowa.
The hall was tastefully decorated and
the programme was musical with the
one exception, Mrs. Hamilton rendered
recitation after which she was pre-
sented with handsome cut glass vase,
twenty inches high by Mrs. Geo. D.
Ross, who spoke of the love and esteem,
with which the beautiful gift should
convey from the club.
The gentlemen then presented Mr..
Hamilton with beautiful silver cup
and saucer, Mr.. Rands being spokesman.
Supper was then served by the ladies
of the club. Tables looked dainty, dec
Grafton carried out in autumn leaves.
Menu was delicious, as all can testify
who were present, as each lady had
taken special pains to prepare only the
best, very happy two hours we're spent
at the tables. The tables were then re-
moved and dancing, and general good
time was INDUCED in until three
o clock. Seventy-five were present.
The many, many friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Hamilton regret their departure
very much, but they will ever be re-
membered as the most sociable, agree
able and kindest of families. X

the matter is settled these papers will
probably restore their subscription price

The price of lumber is to advance
again as coast lumber for eastern ship
ment has gone up from 81 to 81 per
thousand feet. This, in addition to ad-
vances recently made, produces stu
alton that puts the man who wants to
build home into hole. And still we
must have an import duty on lumber!
Away with such nonsense! Remove the
tariff on lumber and it will help. Then
let the nation and the states set up
some intelligent system of forest preser-
walton and the future may be provided
for even if the present generation gets
no benefit.

Sunday afternoon and were taken to

time seemed to be improving, but the
relief was only temporary. Her re-
mains were expected to arrive Saturday
afternoon, but wreck in southern
Kansas caused a delay, the body reach
ing here Sunday and those who
accompanied the remains not arriving

popular young lady who frequently
visited in this city and many friends

During the year 1906 there were
twenty-three bodies cremated at the
Davenport crematorium, making a total
of 80 cremations at the crematorium
since it was established some dozen
years ago. In 1905 there were thirty
one cremations in Davenport, eight
more than the year '06. New crema-
tories being built in different parts of
the country, account for this falling off.
The Davenport crematorium until few
years ago, received, all the bodies from
the vicinity of St. Louis and Denver,
but recently crematoriums have been
erected in these cities and bodies are
therefore taken to the nearest point for
cremation. In all there are about
thirty crematories in operation in the
United States today, several times as
many as when the Davenport crema-
forum was built.

SOuOuCVOI OAC VI
ton passenger conductors on the Chari-
ton and st. Joe run had strenuous time
with lady passenger one day last week.
The lady was enrOute from Milo to
point in Oklahoma and was accompanied
by her little seven year old daughter.
Recently the Burlington road has had
inspectors out stirring up trouble for
their conductors who do not collect all
the half fares, and when the lady pre-
sented her ticket conductor Wilson de-
handed half fare for the child. The lady
refused to pay, claiming the agent who
sold her her ticket told her she would
not need ticket for the child. The
conductor worked with her all the way
down the line and could do nothing with
her SO before reaching Bethany he
wired the sheriff to meet the train and
asked him to eject the lady or collect
the fare, but the sheriff refused to do
anything in the matter, saying he was
under no obligations to the railroad to
run their business. The same thing &C.
CURED when the sheriff at Albany was
called on, and at this station the con-
ductor had his brakeman carry the
woman's baggage out on the platform,
thinking she would leave the train or
pay, but she was obdurate, and as she
had valid ticket after considerable
parley he ordered the brakeman to carry
the baggage back to the car. By this
time number of the passengers had
taken the matter up and they made life
a burden to the conductor all the way
to st. Joe. He threatened to have the
lady arrested at st. Joe, but the last
seen of her she was calmly proceeding
on her journey on the Kansas City train.
