FINE ENTERTAINMENT.
The o. D. BIS Give Genuine Satisfaction ,
Saturday Evening.

The o. D. BIS Give Genuine Satisfaction on
Saturday Evening.
The entertainment by the o. D. BIS.
assisted by some of Cakes young lady
readers, all under the management of
Mrs. Waterman, was q revelation to
the people of Oakes. We had become
accustomed to the thought that we had
talented young ladies here who only
needed an opportunity to show how
capable and interesting they were, but
when we were shown Saturday evening
what could be done in short time by
few Of our young boys, we are prone
to exclaim Wonderfully
It would be hard to say what feature
Of the evening was the most enjoyable.
The club swinging, the marches, the
drills, the songs, all were so well exc
cuted; as to hold the audience in a
delightful way and receive repeated
encores. The readings by the boys
seemed peculiarly adapted to each one
and were handled in a mastery manner.
Earl Huffman, the pumpkin Lover
with his ''Oh my!'' Freddie lesson,
the young tragedian; Bennie Ferris,
the bold young dandy, who owned up
to having dozen girls and yet fooled
his uncle; Addison Denning, who
showed by his wonderful composition
how thoroughly he understood girls;
Hugh Fenton the young ''Dago," in his
clever character story of George
\ Washing Little Jimmy Who 9ot
so lawful sick" and Emil Bell, who
actually drove his wonderful mule Neb.
pchadnezzar onto the stage, each in
turn won a prize and showed agar
what material we have in our young
people when properly developed. The
Dialogues, or farces, were something
so new and novel as to be 'tclear out o.
|tsight. In the first play, Jimm,
Huffman and Bennie Ferris took thl
part of sweethearts in such a manner
as to deceive those who were not ''pu
wise," while Hughey Fenton ths
sailor boy and Addison Denning as 81,
Knight, were typical lovers.
In the other play-the bootblack
Fred lesson, and Ben Ferris, who wa
forced to beg, turned out to be brother
in the streets of New York. Addiso,
Denning the irate "Old Cent" Emf
Bell, the hardhearted "Old Lady,
Hugh Fenton the "Don't- -Yer-Know'
dude, with the two fierce young police
men, Earl Huffman and Ross McCart
ney, made wonderful combination
We have heard men say they'd rathe
see this program again than any eve
put on here from abroad.
The solo by Rev. Fulton was a fin
ending to fine program.

Seniors Well Pleased,

The supper served by the Senior
class Of the high school last Friday
evening was well attended and proved
a success IN every way. The people
were well pleased with the supper and
the Seniors with the attendance. The
net receipts amounted to $3.50. The
success was mainly due to the kindness
of those who donated the good things
for the supper, and to the ladies who
also gave the benefit of their experience.
Every one boosted" well, and the class

DUBOIS TICKET
COUNTED OUT
Supreme Court Holds that Anti
Dubois Convention had Most
Legally Elected Delegates and
Put up the Legal Ticket.

A Boise disptach of Sept. 18th
says: The supreme court by
unanimous decision of all the
judges dismissed the Dubois suit
for a writ of mandate against
Secretary of State Lansdon and
ordered that the anti-Dubois, or
Alexander ticket, formerly filed
by the secretary of state, be GER
titled to the various county au-
ditors to be placed on the official
ballot as the regular democratic
ticket of Idaho, and assessed the
costs of the case against the
plaintiff in the action.
The decision of the court is
based upon the primary law of
the state, which the court holds
is mandatory and that the dele
gates regularly elected under
that law have a legal right to
participate in the proceedings of
the convention and that the state
committee, the convention itsels,
or the national convention has NO
right to deprive them of that
right. The court holds that the
state committee illegally deprived
Ada, Fremont, Bear Lake and
Oneida counties with 40 votes
from participating in the conven-
tion and also illegally permitted
the Fremont, Bear Lake and
Oneida counties contesting dele
cations and the illegally elected
delegates from Bonner county tc

Excursions To The Fair.

Word has been received from
Lewiston to the effect that two
excursion trains will be run from
Cottonwood to Lewiston during
the week of the Lewiston-Clark-
ston fair. The first train will

second on Thursday morning,
Oct. 18th. Returning, the trains
will leave Lewiston on Thursday
and Saturday evenings of the
same week. A fair of one and
one-third for the round trip will
be allowed. These excursions
will give all of the citizens Of

tunity to visit the fair if they
care to do so.

0. R. & N. May Build Here.

According to Lewiston advices
the Clearwater country is apt to
be the scene of another big rail-
road war between the N. P. and
O. R. & N. roads in the near
future. The action Of the O. R.
& N. road in refusing to let the
N. P. road tie onto the lewiston
Riparia joint road at the latter
place has precipitated a fight and
just where it will end is hard to
determine. 1t is stated the O.
R. & N. road raised an objection
because of the sIowness Of the
N. P. in completing the prairie
line, thus allowing it's construc-
tion trains to remove the large
grain crops from the prairie
country before the road is turned
over to the operating depart
ment. 1t is stated the road also
objects to paying for half of the
prairie line on the grounds that
the expense for construction was
too heavy and that the line does
not serve the country to the best
advantage.
Colonel Eddy, right of way a.
gent of the O. R. & NJ, was in
Lewiston this week and it is un-
derstood that small tracts Of
right of way are being purchased
along the route surveyed several
years ago. 1t is also stated that
surveying parties for that road
have been in the field for a
couple weeks working over the
old survey.
Unless the disagreement is ad-
justed it is quite probable that
the N. P. will build a road down
the south bank of Snake river
from Lewiston to Riparia to con-
meet it's two lines and this move
will cause the 0. R. & N. to con-
struct branch line into the
prairie country in order to hold
it's share of the trade.
At any rate, the indications are
good for another line being built
into this section at no distant
day.

Good Racing at Lewiston Fair.

Lovers of the thoroughbred in
horsefesh and of a square deal
in horseracing cannot fail to be
highly gratified at the splendid
list of winners entered for the
big races at the Lewiston-Clarks-
ton Fair, October 12-17. The
directors of the association have
secured 200 horses for the event,
each one of whom is famed for
speed, and horses that are famil-
lar with the largest race tracks
in the United States, and no
crooked work will be tolerated
on the track. Six splendid races
will be the daily program, and to
enliven the monotonous waits be-
tween races, the G. W.. Parker
shows, who exhibit on the streets
of Lewiston during the week,
will have their fine list of free
attractions placed before the
grandstand every afternoon. In
addition to this, visitors to the
fair grounds will be delighted at
the splendid exhibitions of live
stock, of which eight out of
every ten are blue ribbon win
ners. 1t is believed that the
fair can boast of having the best
showing in the northwest of ex-
hibition horses, cattle, sheep,
hogs and chickens. A mammoth
canvas will be erected for the
benefit of the farmers, and some
of the best scientific farm men
of the country have been secured
to give interesting lectures every
day to the agriculturists, which
will be absolutely free of charge.
This feature in itself will be
worth going miles to see.

SORROW GETS
LIFE SENTENCE
Man Who Murdered Henry Will
liams is Given the Limit for his
Crime, as Determined by the
Jury.

The jury in the Sorrow case,
which was heard before Judge
Steele at Grangeville last week,
reached a verdict of murder in
the first degree early last Friday
morning. 1t had been expected
by nearly all who heard the evil
dence that the jury would return
a verdict of murder in the first
degree, but when they remained
out for some time it was under
stood that some disagreement
had occurred. 1t is stated that
the jury stood 8 to 4 for first
degree murder for a long time
but finally all agreed on the YER
dict as returned.
Sorrow is the Grangeville
blacksmith who shot and killed
Nightwatch Henry Williams sew
eraI weeks ago during a drunken
spree. Sorrow, who is very
quarrelsome when drinking,
started a row with the officer
over some stock which had been
placed in the pound. The officer
tried to pacify Sorrow and was
moving away when the latter
commenced Shooting. Williams
was shot twice, once after he
had fallen to the sidewalk. He
died shortly afterward. Sorrow
was wounded in both knees but
has recovered from his injuries.
He is a man past middle age and
has a large family.
After the jury returned its
verdict Judge Steele passed the
date for passing sentence over
until yesterday morning, when
he sentenced Sorrow to life i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary
at Boise.

closed quite a nice real estate
deal the first of the week when
it negotiated the sale of Mike
Seubert's 145-acre farm just
north of town to John Knapp,
recently from Nebraska, for
$500. The company then sold
to Mr.. Seubert the 310-acre tract
of the old Holt ranch lying east
of the road, the purchase price
being $8,525. By these deals
both parties secure good farms
and their nearness to town and
the railroad make them eXcep-
tionally good investments,
