Saturday, June 2Otn, being the
twenty fourth anniversary of the
marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. J. W.
Foster, of this place, their relatives
and friends in this vicinity called up
OH them at their home last Friday
night and presented them with new
and handsome dining room table.
The visitors brought with them
quantities of good things to eat and
musicians to furnish music for those
who desired to dance. The visitors
took possession so to speak of the
home for the time being and enjoyed
themselves in the good old fashioned
way. The home was thronged with
neighbors and friends in and around
Alberta and joy and good cheer was
the prevailing feeling of all present.
Those little social reunions are good
thing and those who get them up and
take the responsibility of making
them success much praise and
honor for their efforts for the good
will and good example they give to
society and the good feeling then en-
gender in the homes and among both
the old and young in a community.
Taking into consideration the pre-
vious thirty three anniversaries, Mr..
and Mrs. J. w. Foster, no doubt feel
that they never have received any
higher honor nor any grander respect
than was shown to them by the
neighbors and friends of Alberta ON
the occasion above referred to. May
they live in our midst to enjoy many
and many more such pleasant sur
prises is the wish of their surprisers.

CHINESE CLUB HOUSE.
One to Cost 100000 Is Planned for
New York.

New York. April 10.-Chinamen of
the city who wish to preserve the
traditions of their native land are
planning to build a 100000 club
house as the home of the Confucian
association. c. H. Chen, post
graduate of Columbia university and
an under secretary connected with
the imperial civil service is president
of the organization. Mr.. Chen has
the confidenc of his government and
was sent here on leave of absence to
study political economy. The club
was organized last October and has
grown steadily. Mr.. Chen says there
are now 1000 members in all parts of
the country.
Although the association" said he.
sis devoted to the maintenance of
Chinese ideals, as represented in the
writings Of the sage, Confucius, it is
by no means hostile to any religion.
One may be connected with a Chris
tan church and still be a member of
the association. 1t is found that many
of our race in this country have
practically no social life and do not
keep in touch either with what is go
ing on in this country or China. There
is no place where a large number of
these people can meet and talk"
Mr. Chen a follower of the precepts
of Confucius frequently lectures in
Christian churches on Chinese educa-
tional and social conditions.

AGREEMENT IN SIGHT.
1t Is Likely That $4,000 Miners will
Return to Work.

Columbus, o., April 10.-.'It is very
probable that the $4,000 miners who
are now idle in Ohio. will resume
work about April Is or 16, following
the conference of the miners and oper-
ators at Toledo" declared William
Green, state president of the miners
today. He added:
''It is very probable that the opera
tors and miners will reach an agree
ment at Toledo and that the old wage
scale that was in effect UP to April 1
will be readopted."
President Green said that the miners
and operators had several conferences
and there seems to be no hesitancy
on the part of the operators to sign
the agreement.
''It will mean the renewal of the
harmonious relations existing between
the four states in the sixth district that
existed since 1898. until the break
came two years ago, when the joint
interstate movement was dissolved" !"
said Mr.. Green.
All the locals will send delegates
and there will probably be $50 from
Ohio at the conference. A total of 500
delegates of the miners are expected
from the four states.

In Cases of 1000 Actors Indict-
ed at Kansas City.
WORK OF GRAND JURY
For the Past Six Months Is
Rendered Useless.
He Says the Theatrical People
Must Appear in Court.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 10.-There
was an unexpected turn in the Sunday
observance theater cases here when
Judge Wallace Of the criminal court,
admitted that there was no evidence
to convict the 1000 actors indicted
within the past six months After long
delay some of the cases are about to
come to trial. In others Judge Wal
lace refused to grant change of venue
to Judge e. E. Porterfield, who the
state supreme court recently declared
could try the cases.
What is the use Of sending those
cases over" Judge Wallace finally said
in reply to the argument of the at
torneys for the defendants. 1--WE have
no evidence to convict the actors. ex-
cept those arrested during the last
few weeks"
1t appears that the grand jury that
returned most of the early indictments
neglected to secure witnesses to the
alleged 1nfraction OF the Sunday law
Notwithstanding the admission of the
court, Judge Wallace declined to grant
the change of venue, and told the at
torney that he must have the defend
ants IN court or their bonds would be
forfeited. The bonds in the aggregate
amount to many thousands of dollars.
When notified of this condition Frank
M. Lowe. one of the attorneys for the
theatrical people started for Jefferson
City to apply to the supreme court for
a writ of mandamus to compel Judge
Wallace to transfer all Of the theater
cases to Judge Porterfield's division of
the court.

SHUT OUT OF KANSAS.
The American Patriots Wouldn't Pay
dad" Rust Policy

The American Patriots, a fraternal
insurance order doing business at
Springfield, Ill, was disbarred from
doing any further business in Kansas
by State Superintendent of Insurance
Charles Barnes, in a te1egraplnic mes
sage sent Thursday afternoon.
The trouble which led up to the
ousting of this concern originated
when it tried to force the widow of
Dad Rust, the well known Santa
Fe engineer, to accept 5000 as a full
settlement of a policy for $1,000
which Rust held in the company. 1t
Barnes caused to be investigated the
American Benevolent association, a
st. Louis company which seemed to
be In deep water. When this COM
pany was about to be disbarred from
the state, it sold out to the American
Patriots. Rust was one of the policy
holders who was transferred. The di-
rectOrs of the new concern then made
certain arbitrary classifications of the
policy holders. and appears to have
agreed to pay to certain undesirable
classes only the amount of premiums
which they had paid in. Rust. being
an engineer, was an undesirable risk,
and when he died, his widow dis
covered that she had only 5000 COM
ing to her. Mr.. Barnes demanded
not use the funds of the American
Benevolent association to carry out
the terms Of the policies which that
company had issued. The American
Patriot managers thereupon became
very uppisf, and refused to comply
with requirements. The disbarment
followed.
