Mothers Congress.

The Mothers Congress at the home
of Mrs. Andrews last week was one of
the pleasantest gatherings that Cakes
has had in some time.
The beautiful home of Mrs. Andrews
was decorated in white and green for
the occasion. The ladies of the w. C.
T. U. as "Some of the Mothers" were
the hostesses. The local president, Mrs.
Waterman, presided. Mrs. Libby and
Mrs. Ferber received ''The Rest of the
Mothers" and saw that all were made
acquainted.
After a short scripture lesson and
prayer by Mrs. Waterman, who intro
duced the program by passing folded
paper napkins to each lady present.
On unfolding the napkins they found q
written question pertinent to matters.
In response to request of the local
president each question was read and
discussed.
The interest seemed to increase with
each new question and when the time
came to quit, no one was ready to stop
the discussion.
Mrs. Kennedy led the way to the
beautifully decorated dining room where
Mrs. Tyrrell and Mrs. Rowe served the
delicacies in true motherly fashion.
Several babies were present adding
much to the beauty and interest of the
occasion. All decided that more such
congresses would be both interesting
and profitable.

District Court Session.

The special session of the district
court held Tuesday evening to natural
ize citizens, did not do any business in
this line, none of the applicants being
present owing to misunderstanding
in dates.
The court got busy, however, and
entertained the pleas of several pris-
oners, who were anxious to have hear
ing.
David Friedman, 10 years old, under
charge of grand larceny, plead guilty
and was sentenced to year in the pen
itentiary.
B. S. Mcdonald, "a years of age,
held on charge of burglary, also plead
guilty, was sentenced for a year. He
has served term in South Dakota fo,
the same offense.
John Miller admitted violating the
prohibition law, and got ninety days
in the county Jail and costs.
Onrecommendation of States Attor-
ney Cassels, Charles Laudermilk, who
was under bonds to keep the peace, was
given his liberty.
The negro who shot the white man in
Oakes was given his liberty as the
authorities investigated the case and
found it a case of self defense, and the
man who was shot had fully recovered
at the hospital and left the country.

Sunday Evening at M. e. Church.

Sunday Evening at M. e. Church.
Sunday was Temperance Rally day
at the M. E. Sunday school, the men,
bers signing the pledge in connection
with the study of the temperance lesson.
In the evening there was rally pro-
gram under the auspices of the White
Shield League of the Sunday school.
Mrs. Nichols presided and a good pro-
gram was presented to full house.
The choir, under the direction of
Miss Fink, rendered an anthem and led
in the hymns. A reading by Ross Hut
sinpiller and song by Mrs. Ferber's
class were fine.
Hugh Fenton and Bennie Ferris had
been given some questions to answer
on paper and the boys answered them
in true freshman style and no one
doubted their sincerity.
People always expect something good
when Mfs. Waterman is on the pro-
gram, and she gave an unusually
good and eloquent appeal for higher
moral standard and more work along
temperance lines. Mrs. Waterman s
life work has been with the youth of
our land and her earnest words to them
were full of truth and love.
Prof. Jarvis, superintendent of our
high school, gave an able address on the
subject of Temr erance. The appalling

Maurice Sheridan

The funeral of Maurice Sheridan,
held from the Catholic church last
Friday at 1880 o'clock, was one of the
largest ever held from the Catholic
church. Maurice was a good boy and
Rev. Father Baker preached his very
best on this occasion. He loved the
boy and could speak from a heart full
Of love and sympathy. He blessed the
remainssand was ably assisted in the
services by Rev. Father Schardt of
Hague, who sang funeral high mass.
Remains were laid to rest in the Oakes
cemetery.
Maurice was born on the farm three
miles north of Oakes nearly nineteen
years ago. Had he lived until the 10th
Of next January he would have been
that age. His death came sudden and
unexpected. He went to the barn to
do the evening chores and was stricken

drove up to the barn to unhitch his
horse he heard groans from the loft
and on investigating found Maurice
completely overcome. The prostrate
form was carried to the house and ir
half an hour from that time life was
extinct. Heart failure was the cause
of death.
Maurice was of a family of clever

Mr.. Smith says the evidence will

that he knew how to get money from

SPLIT IN THE

Des Moines, Nov. 13.-At a secret

State uperintendents present as.

LOOKOUT Inn IN ASHES.
Famous Old Mountain Hostelry De
stroYed BY Fire.

Chattanooga, Nov. 1S.-Famous old
Lookout Inn, on the crest of Lookout
mountain, was destroyed by fire last
evening, together with its contents
The owners stated that deal had just
been consummated for the sale of the
Inn property for a consideration OF
$l35,000 and but for the fire the deal
would have been closed today. There
was but $4,000 insurance on the hotel
and its furnishings. Aside from the
hotel. four cottages and their contents
were destroyed, entailing loss esti'
mated at $4,000.
The general theory is that a defec.
tive fue is responsible for the fire.
From the city the fire was a spectac.
ular one during it's early progress, but
soon the mountain was entirely envel
oped in dense cloud of smoke. With
the coming of darkness, however, the
smoke cleared and the outline of the
crest Of old Lookout was marked by
rim Of red fire, with the downward
mark resembling a huge figure 90
The hotel was completed in 1889 and
contained about 400 rooms. Prince
Henry Of Prussia pronounced it the
most ideal spot he had ever visited
and the scenery more gorgeous than
that of the Swiss Alps.

In the rate of duty and the Republican
members assuming an attitude against
protective rate on "barytes," an ar.

veloped at the hearing before the COM

Rhodes and A. G. Nuson, S. M. Evans
of North Carolina, and Charles j. sta

of increasing the duty on crude bar.

argument, speaking of the barytes de.
posits in North Carolina, Alabama.
Georgia and Tennessee, the Democrat.
ic members Of the ways and means
committee became interested. Rep.
Tesentative Pou of North Carolina, a
Democrat, told Mr.. Evans that If he
could show that the mining of barytes
was made Improbable because of the
prevailing tariff he would have the
support Of the minority members Of
the committee in the recommendation
for an increase in duties. Despite the
assertion by Mr.. Rhodes that Missouri
was carried in the last election for
Taft because of the belief that high
or protective tariff would be enacted,
the Republican members of the COM
mittee, led by Chairman Payne and
Representatives Longworth and Bou-
tell, apparently desired to bring out
the fact that no higher duty was nee
essary on barytes. .t
The hearing on the proposed re.
vision as affecting the schedule on

pleted.
The hearing on schedule H Of the

The arguments presented were in
the main technical and in favor of the
retention of the present rates Of duty.
The prevailing attitude with regard to
schedule A is epitomized in the fol-

who submitted brief:
