Next Monday, nearly thirty members Of the
Fifty-sixth regiment band will leave for a
two weeks trip in Canada, during which
time they will play at the Dominion fair
at Calgary, Alberta. July 4. 8 and 6. They
were selected by the members of the Ameri-

other bands OF the northwest part of the
country had been considered. The orga-
nization will travel in its private car and

turn direct 20 this city, reaching here July

where the regimental camp Will be held.
Invitations were received by Manager
George Trema!n from many OF the Can
adian cities for the band to play while en-
route. but because OF the lack OF time, all
OF the engagements were cancelled that at
first were made. While at Calgary the

GROCERs TO CELEBRATE FOURTH
Places of Business To Re closed on
National Holiday.


National Holiday.
The grccers and butchers OF Council
Bluffs will observe the Fourth Of July as
a holiday, and the housewives will have
10 do their marketing for Sunday on Friday.
At the regular session Of the Retail
Grocers and Butchers association an agree
ment was reached to the effect that all
members Of the organization would keep
their places OF business closed all day.
July 4. AS the great national holiday this
year falls on Saturday, the dealers Will
keep their places Of business open Friday
night, July ,. as they usually do on Sat
urday nights, but on Saturday they will
lock their doors and with their employees
Join in the celebration of Independence day.
The executive committee OF the Retail
Grocers and Butchers association is at
work on arrangements for the annual pic
mic Of the organization. While neither the
place nor the date has yet been selected,
a number of propositions are under con-
siderstion. The picnic this year is planned
to be on the large scale which has charac-
terized the annual outing and festivities
Of the association in past years.
The suggestion by the Board Of Park
Commissioner that an old fashioned cele-
bration be held at Paramount park on the
Fourth Of July has as yet not met with
much encouragement from the municipal
authorities Of the executive officials of
the Commercial club. The city's strong box
is not bullying open with surplus cash and
II is understood that the treasury OF .he
Commercial club has none to spare. 1t is
possible that the matter my be brought
up at the meeting Of the city council next
Monday night, but It is doubtful II the state
Of the finances will permit of any appro-
p~riation for such a purpose.

DEATH CAUsEs QUEER atxUp
Law Does Not seem 20 Provide "A Way
TO FIJI Vacant omce

PIERRE, S. D., June H.-(speclaI Tele-
~gram)-The death Of Congressman w. H..
Parker, leaves the congressional situation
in a rather peculiar shape. The vacancy
cannot be filled by appointment, but must
be by special election. The selection OF a
candidate is the puzzlins one. The state
dominates through primary election ana
fixes specific dates for such nominations
The convention is empowered TO FIJI vacan-
cies in the ticket nominated but not such
as q vacancy by death OF an officer elected.
The probabilities at the present ara that
Governor Crawford will not call a special
election before the date Of the general
election in November and nominations
will be by petition for the place to fill
vacancy. Just who will be the man Is a
matter for the future political history of
the state to decide.
