SOUTHWEST TEACHERS
Association Began Its Annual Session Here
Today. Large Number Of Teachers
Arrvlnu

arriving
The Southwest Teachers Associ-
alton begins its annual session here
today. The. association takes in the
teachers Of a good number Of coun.
ties, a territory which is soon to be
recognized as the best part Of the
state. From an educational stand
point. as we'll as others, this part Of
the state is fast coming to the front.
No part Of the state has ever been
more interested in educational mat
ters than this territory, and the only
drawback in the past has been the
sparse population, and lack Of money
to work with. Now change has
taken place. There is more money in
the country, and more people. The
salary paid to teachers is higher, and
the institutions Of learning are as
sumins a high standard. The teach
ers are doing the best work that can
be accomplished by individual effort,
and are adding to this all the benefits
which may come through organiza-
tion. The towns are employing the
best superintendents, principals and
teachers that can be secured. Tho
district schools are selecting their
teachers with care. The county sup
erintendents are expected to do their
work thoroughly.
The real work Of the association
will begin tomorrow. The teachers
are getting in today, and those who
arrive in time will attend the foot
ball game al the park this afternoon,
the basket ball game early this even
ing, and the elocution contest this
evening.
Tomorrow morning at 9:3O the
address of welcome to the teachers
will be delivered by Congressman
Madison, and the first meeting will
be held. The following program has
been announced for the two days
session.

WAS AFiNE CONCERT
Lycoum Course Attraction Monday Night,
One which Pleased the Patrons Very
Much.

/
Much.
The star attraction OF the Lyceum
Course for Dodge City this season.
and certainly fine enough attrac-
tion to recommend the whole course
to the people Of the town, "The
Vassar Girls, was witnessed by o
large audience at the opera hou n
last Monday evening. This enter
tainment is the result Of years Of
training and study. The Vassar
"Girls", they are all girls, or have
been, have given years Of study to
the instruments which they use in
their entertainment. Reed instru-
ments have the preference in their
programs, but the girls play brass
instruments almost as well. Besides
being highly cultured musicians.
they are unusually versatile, chang
ing repeatedly to different combina-
tions Of instruments. One member
Of the company. appeared as violin
soloist, at other times on the program
with oboe, saxophone and cornet,
playing each equally well. Tha
entire program was high class, and
the concert was even beyond the
anticipation Of the audience, which
had expected a fine entertainment.
If the remaining numbers Of the
Lyceum Course are up to this stands
ard, the managers will have q reputa-
ton made which will make it easy to
secure audiences for the course for
the next season.

LUTHER-LOcKE BANQUET
All Future Events Of This Character viii Be
Measured BY the One Of Last
Tuesday Night

The Luther-Locke banquet at the
Harvey House here on last Tuesday
night was probably the most elab
orate, and certainly the most delect.
able Of any known to the history OF
Dodge City, and the guests Of the
evening are happy in memory OF it,
and in memory Of the facts that Mr..
Bryan also ran, and Mr.. Luther also
bet. The occasion was the out
growth Of q little ante-election ban
tering between Mr.. Luther and Mr..
Locke, which eliminated in q wager
Of a banquet to follow election. Mr..
Luther lost and smilingly sent in an
order to Manager Jacobs to prepare
the feast and to spare no pains nor
expense. And Manager Jacobs ac-
Quilted himself so we'll that his repu
tation is made for all time, and all
banquets which may follow here. and
all other Harvey House managers
who may follow, and who may 60,
will be judged and measured by the
high standard set then. When the
guests entered the banquet room the
Dodge City orchestra was discours-
ing sweet strains OF music from a
palm grove at the east side OF the
apartment. The table decorations
were triumph Of the green houses
Of California, and the fast express
service which is at tue call Of the
Harvey System, and the excellent
taste Of Manager Jacobs. The menu
was up to the occasion, complete and
in season, and Mr.. Luther had i'm
ported for the occasion supply Of
champagne, Of time-tested brand
with which they sometimes christen
battle ships which are not named
after the Sunfower state. After
thorough and painstaking consider
alton Of the menu, Mr.. Locke intro
duced Lieutenant Governor Fitzger-
aid as toast master. Mr.. Fitzgerald
gracefully assumed the duties thus
thrust upon him, and in few pre-
liminary remarks let the guests into
rather startling bit Of history, here
tofore unwritten, regarding the Pap
acy Of 1916, particularly affecting
certain illustrious monk Of the Order
of ST. Augustine whom we revere in
this country, and to whom we feel
doubly indebted to since Mr.. Fitz'
gerald's disclosure. The first speak
or was called to respond to "The
Mayor Of Cimarron", and this pleas
ant task fell to Congressman Madi-
son who in his happy way paid trib-
ute to the mayor Of Cimarron, Mr..
Frank Luther, the host Of the ecca
aston. Judge Milton responded to
1.-THE Mirage Of Democracy, which
considering the fact that it was the
agency responsible for the banquet.
was a very appropriate subject, and
ii was delightfully."- handled by Judge
Milton.
Mr.. Fitzgerald is toast master
who takes a delight in grilling his
subjects. He fashioned an inpr omptu
program which was elastic and which
reached 10 the farthest man in the
room. It didn't do to any good tc

Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. Tt is now

Saturday morning. when in some man

over a territory having u radius of 20

The remains of the two boys were

in various directions from the scene of
the explosion, and could be identified
only by some small shreds of clothing,
the bodies being literally tori to frag-

Where the powder houses stood. an
excavation was made deep enough for
a basement and more than 80 feet in
diameter.
a ~coroner's jury is hearing the tes-
timony today, bearing on the awful
accident, but the generally accepted
theory is that the boys. while hunting
in the vicinity of the powder houses,
shot into them and the explosion was
the result. There were no eye Witness

were seen in the vicinity of the powder
houses shortly before the explosion oc-

M'DONNELL TRIAL
FOR MURDER ON
Shot George Stevens and Will
Seek Justification in Plea
of Self Defense.

Mason City, Ia, Oct. 1.-Frank Nc
Donnell. who has been confined in the
county Jail here since last March, was
today taken to Garner, in Hancock
county, to answer in the courts there
for the alleged murder Of Geo. Stevens.
In the April term of court here the
Judge granted a change of venue, and
it was taken to Hancock county. Judge
Clyde will hear the case. A special
venire for SO additional jurymen has
been issued.
On SUNDAY, March 20, Mcdonnell,
who was a former newspaper man.,
then in the employ of the Northwestern
States Cement company as timekeeper,
shot and killed Geo. Stevens, n of the
foremen of the plant. Mcdonnell does
not deny h killing, but says that it
was done in self defense, and hat is
his plea.
The two men had a hot word battle
in the lobby of the company's hotel.
Stevens, it is stated, slapped Melon
nell. The latter is said to have an al
a o~ne-legged man. considerable leniency
was always shown him. The language
he employed on this occasion, accord
ing to witnesses, was very abusive, and
Stevens, whose temper was also
aroused, tried to forcibly calm him. AT
this juncture others interfered and the
two men separated. Mcdonnell was
sent to his room upstairs. A few min
utes later Stevens started upstairs, for
what purpose no n knows.
The state claims that while Stevens
was In the hall, not molesting anyone,
Mcdonnell stepped from his bedroom
door, out into the hall, and fired two
shots, both striking Stevens. The de-
Tense claims that Stevens came to Nc
Donnell's room, broke open the door,
and. while Mcdonnell was sitting on
the edge of the bed, he fired the shots
that caused his death. Stevens was
picked up where he fell in the hall,
some 10 feet from McDonnell's door.
The case will create considerable atten-
ton. Two of the best criminal lawyers
of b state will defend Mcdonnell.

HAND SUES
FOR WHOLE MILLION
Samuel Bute's Claim Against
Wells Estate Grows Out of
SIS, 600 Investment.

Webster City, Ia, Oct. 5,-Buried III
the announcement from the Grundy
county court at Grundy Center,
over which Judge Ransier, of
Independence is presiding, that the
claim of Samuel Butte against the
Wells estate was sustained lies a
human interest" story, such as is sell
dom revealed in a court anywhere
without raising a fervor OF interest
which sweeps the nation. The estate
of the late George Wells is worth sew
eral millions CT dollars, and the claim
of Butte, who lives at Stanhope, in this
county, where he is a rural ma car-
rier, was for a cool million-or rather
property which is worth practically
that amount.
Nothing was ever known of the Butte
claim by the public-until the death of
Wells about a year and a half age,
when, soon after the death of Wells,
who was an old bachelor, Butte filed
his claim, the whole state was astound-
ed. Despite the fact that it was looked
upon with suspicion, Butte kept his
own counsel and has now been vindi-
Gated by the decision Of the court suS-
tanning it.
The claim of Butte runs back over 40
years. In the early COS he was en-
ployed as a farm hand on the Wells
farm in Grundy county. He a a
speculative nature and now and then
took a chance in the Louisiana lot
teries, then in the height of their pop
ularity as speculative ventures. Butte
was lucky enough to win ST., 900 at this,
II Wells invested it for the young
man. A contract was entered into.
whereby Butte was to pay Wells a stip-
ulated sum per yea for looking after
his property. Iowa land was selling
for almost nothing in those days, and
Wells bought up section after section
in Grundy, Kossuth and Emmett coun-
ties. The Ian advanced as the years
passed, and when Wells died was worth
nearly a million of dollars. For some
reason Butte was never able to get a
settlement out of Wells during the lat
ter's life. He had lost h written
contract and probably feared he could
not prove his claim. Upon the death
Of Wells. however, the claim was filed.
AS yet Mr.. Butte has received no Off
cial announcement from his attorney,
but is expecting details of the decision
at once. He is a man past 60 years Of
age and well deserves the good fortune
that has come to him in his declining
years.
