 FEATURE IF SHOW
New And Novel Stunts Provoke Hearty Laughter, Douglas Defeats Bisbee In Big Base ball Game.

In justice to the gentlemen compos- ing the committee on arrangements Tor the great Elks celebration 1t must be said that 1t was the finest from every standpoint and the most cred itably conducted affair of it's kind ever seen in the Warren district. The parade arranged by these same members of the local lodge of the B. r. Q. E. was procession such as IS seldom seen anywhere, and has never been surpassed for clean. refin- ed humor and a desire to give the public a good laugh.
 One need not consider for a moment that this year the comimttee had only one week in which to prepare for the big event, because it is the concen- sus of opinion that the celebration sur. passed all efforts on the part of the antlered herd in the past. The gen. tlemen who composed the committee and worked out the numerous de a:ls connected with the big event were: R. A. Kirk, manager of the Evening Miner; Joseph H.

With a set of bulls" made up of Sheriff Jack White, City Marshal Hascal Snod- grass Deputy United States Marshal Foster, Constable Twomey, Deputy Sheriff Deli Lewis, Robert Anderson. Thomas Dolan, and Officer Jack o. Laughlin, there was no fear that any bets would be overlooked. On the other hand it was necessary for E. J. EyeThardy to bring four affidavit men to prove that he was not an Elk, and therefore did not deserve to be thrown in.
 The beauty section of the parade caused roars Of laughter. NJ. J. Gun ningham carried several of the beau ties in his machine, while W. J. Ed leman hauled the rest of the pretti- ness.
