SCHOOL BOYS ARE
PLAYING HOCKEY
In Efforts to Witness the
Baseball Games.
thinner Stands Excellent Chance of
Staying In Jail Until
Grand Jury Meets.

School boys In large numbers are
playing truant to attend the baseball
games at Webb park, and the police
will assist the truant officer in bring
Ing the lads to time. The games at
the park commence at $3.50 o'clock,
and Mr.. Boy cannot get out to the
park after school until after a. few
innings have been played, consequent
ly he does not atter1 in the after
noon.
1t is probable that the boys will
be rounded up and made to suffer
from cutting their studies. The num-
erous trees around the park afford
an excellent opportunity for the
youngsters to see the game without
paying admission and Jack OF the
necessary change does not keep them
away.

The 1907 currant crop Of
Greece is commercially estima-
ted at $4,000 tons.

Hon. j. B. Sullivan, former
democratic candidate for
governor, is an active member
of the Des Moines board of
education. He believes that
the general health Of the school
children should be made a mat
ter of regular inspection. To
that end he will introduce a
resolution at the next meeting
of the board providing for the
inspection of every teacher and
pupil with especial stress on
the condition of the eyes, ears,
nose and throat and the
presence of tuberculosis. 1t is
proposed to require a certificate
signed by the regular school
medical examiners or the
family physician. The move
ment is backed by Supt. w. 0.
Riddell of Des Moines, aud
many teachers and parents.
The movement has brought
forth sharp criticism and the
resolution will be met with
strong opposition.
The seasons record in Suuth
Dakota for the number of game
birds and other fowl killed at
one shot appears to have been
made by Frederick Stainsby, a
prominent resident and spot
man of Montrose. He claimed
that while hunting he brought
down at one shot eight ducks,
|one mud hen, one blackbird and
lone snipe. He states that he
was not looking for such a haul
when he fired at a flock Of
ducks, but that the eight ducks
and other birds happened to he
in range. That is even better
than our local sportsmen can
do, although they have some
fair stories to put in circula-
ton.

Miscellaneous Shower
One of the most beautifully
appointed social events Of the
Fall affairs was the "miscella-
neous shower given by Mrs.
Geo. Kellogg last evening for
three of the Fall brides, Misses
Ella Fensler, Dell Harris and
May Finley. The hostess
passed hearts around during
the earlier part of the week
and each guest was expected to
write their favorite recipe and
bring it last evening. These
were all collected and made
into a pretty cook book, the
frort of which contained the
monograms Of the three brides.
The rooms were very artistic
ally decorated in asparagus and
lieut. flowers. Candles shed a
pretty glow over the company.
After the guests had all arrived
and were nicely settled for the
evening, the hostess invited the
three brides into the back par
lor where their fortunes were
read and at the time the for
tune teller was telling them
thew would all three receive
many presents, baskets were
brought in and given to each.
The baskets were very daintily
decorated in pink paper, and
contained many be autiful pres
ents for "the girls" which sure
ly were very much appreciated
by them.
After several musical selec-
lions, a delicious three course
supper was served by the host-
Jess, assisted by Misses Mckay
and Palmer, of Sioux City.
"The Love Idea" was carried
throughout the refreshments,
everything being served in
heart shapes. One Of the very
pretty features of the evening,
after all had finished, Mrs.
Mrs. Tabor, of Corpus Christie,
Texas, gave a very fine talk,
also giving advice to "the girls"
on Chow to cook a husband"
after which the health Of the
brides was drunk.
At a very late hour the
happy gathering broke up, af-
ter all had assured Mrs. Kellogg
they had spent a delightful
evening and the brides especi-
ally were pleased with the
many favors received.
The following guests enjoyed
the evening: Mesdames Nor

Big Farm to be Broken Up

Ida Grove, Ia, Sept. is
The w. G. Adams ranch near
Oieholt, the last of the big
ranches of northwest Iowa, is
to be broken up into quarter
section farms and sold. This is
the famous place known to the
people of all Iowa as the old
GARNER" Wheeler ranch, it's
former owner being Hiram
Wheeler, who was once the re-
publican candidate for governor
of Iowa. Wheeler sold the
ranch for S3333 per acre to w. G.
Adams and went south to in
vest in Texas rice lands. Adams
has made a great success on
the reach, raising nothing hut
grain and principally corn. He
has a rule to never sell corn for
less than a certain price, and
will crib and hold his corn for
several years or until he does
get his price. Mr.. Adams
figures it that in the ten years
he has owned the ranch it has
paid for itself. So whatever he
gets out of the place will repre-
sent his profit. He says it will.
take 100000 to swing the deal
and that he will divide the
ranch into forty quarter Sec
lions and sell it at 500 an acre
straight. On the northeast
quarter adjoining Odebolt there
are Improvements worth up
wards of S25, 900 and several.
other sections on the ranch
have extensive improvements.
The idea is to sell the ranch for
$50 an acre straight through
and then let all the purchasers
draw cuts to see who gets the
improvements for nothing.
