living. At the age of II the subject
of this sketch quietly left his home
eager hands to wrest from the world
his share of the wealth, which Is the
reward of those who are Industrious
and frugal. His first stop was at
Louisville, KY, where he worked at
odd jobs until finally he entered the
employ of blacksmith and served an
apprenticeship Of three years, After
serving his time, he worked at his
trade in various towns in Indiana and
Illinois. At Paris in the latter state
he first met Mrs. Sebree, then known
as Lucinda Ellen Bell. In 1857 young
Sebree left Paris for Leavenworth,
Kan, where he engaged in general
blacksmithing. Starting in with only
himself, he soon had force of 20
men in his shop. After one year In
Leavenworth he made hasty trip to
Paris, Ills, and on September 10th,
1858, married the girl he had left be-
hind. Returning to the Kansas town,

he continued his business until 1862,
when the business of Quitting for
California declined to such an extent
that he sold out and pushed on west,
locating at Black Hawk, Col, where
he engaged in business for three
years. In 1865 he came to Denver,
then but small town, where he re-
manned for one year, going from there
to Cheyenne, Wyo, where he engaged
in the wagon and implement business.
During his stay in Cheyenne he was
elected to the legislature and was one
of the members who cast their vote
giving women the right of suffrage in
that state. Mr.. Sebree at one time
owned land in what Is now the heart
OF Denver, but on leaving, he traded
1t for team of mules to pull him to
Cheyenne.
In 1869 he sold out his business in
Cheyenne and came to Salt Lake
where he again engaged in the wagon
and implement business. which he
continued with success until 1888 Mr.
Sebree had many interesting expert
ences with the Mormons and was per

The directors of the association are
Straining every nerve to provide ac-
commodations for the numerous APP
plicants for space. Applications are
not confined to any one particular
line. The many applications for

the board to erect another building
50x50 feet, which will be devoted ex
clusively to the fine arts, music and
for the display of school work. Last
year these lines were in the horticul-
tural hall and in such locality that
it was impossible to arrange the many

SebreeS Golden Wedding

Mr.. and Mrs. Howard Sebree cele-
brated their fiftieth wedding anniver-
sary at their home in Sera Madre, Cal,
on Wednesday, the 18th inst. All
their children, four in number, were
present.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sebree have been resi-
dents of Caldwell since 1888 until the
last three or four years. During this
period Mrs. Sebree has made her
home at Sera Madre, Cal, but Mr.. Sc
bree has spent the greater portion of
his time at Caldwell, looking after his
large business interests. Mr.. Sebree
has a warm place in the hearts of
many Caldwell citizens for his pub
lie generosity. There never was an
enterprise launched for the good of
the town but that the name Of How
ard Sebree always headed the list
but when you approached him with a
business proposition he was always
on the alert and would carefully
| weight the matter before advancing
any money for a business that would
not assure him a profit.
Mr.. Sebree Is one of the pathfinder,
in the business world of the west. HI

Senator Hepburn ut Opera House

Senator Hepburn ut Opera House.
Senator Hepburn spoke to crowd
ed house Friday night of last week.
1t was the largest and most attentive
audience that ever greeted a political
speaker in the Caldwell opera house.
The stage was tastefully decorated
with bunting and Autographs of Taft
and Sherman and presented neat
appearance, and was credit to those
who did the work.
J. M. Thompson introduced the SEN
ator in a short, pithy speech, which
was we'll received by the audience.
Senator Hepburn was in the pink of
condition and opened his talk with
out apologies or excuses. The argu-
ment was largely on the tariff issue
which Is usually stale when discussed
by the ordinary speaker, but not SO
when handled by Senator Hepburn
His arguments threw new light on the
subject. With but few minutes in
terruption by young man who has
symptoms Of being a socialist, If not
worse, the meeting was one Of the
most successful ever held in Caldwell
One rock-ribbed democrat who sat In
the front row shook hands with the
senator after the meeting and said

speech l have heard since | left Mis-.

HOTEL COMPANY SUES.
Demands Damages Because New
Building Was Not Built for It.

John J. and Joseph r. Costinet were
named defendants in a damage suit for
eco filed yesterday by the Plaza Hotel
Company.
The papers filed i'm the suit set forth
that the plaintiff leased January 10, 1906,
the premises GO0 North Capitol street
and 1 and F street northwest. for saloon
purposes for a term of eight years and
six months. beginning February I. 1906.
1t was agreed between both parties. ac-
cording to the petition. that If the grades
OF street or Massachusetts avenue,
where those streets pass the premises.
were changed the Costinets should erect
a new building I'm place OF the present
premises.
The street grade was changed April IL.
1907. Demand was made upon the defend
ants. IL is claimed. to erect the proposed
new building. Plans and specifications
were prepared. but they did not meet the
APPROVAL OF the defendants.
On account of the change of grade. it
is alleged, it was necessary to move the
barroom from the first TO the second
floor so as to have il on level with
the street. The removal. IL is alleged. has
oatred the loss of a good deal trade,
besides the cost of building a runway
from the street to the building.
AS the place!is located on the main thor
oughfare to the Union station, IL Is de-
clared a new building would be advanta-
geous to the lessees.
Attorneys George F. Havell and NJ. J.

Discussed by Government.

TOXIC. August 26.-The postponement
of the Toxic international exposition,
which is now scheduled for 1912, is being
agitated in government circles here and
seriously discussed on the ground that the
appropriation Set aside for this purpose is
inadequate and that the time intervening

tory work that must be done. No de-
cison has been reached. however. pend
ing the opinion of Count Komura, the
new minister of foreign affairs. who re-
turned from London tonight

Of the cabinet are urging the appropria-
ton of 3o.UO.0U yen (about $1,000. O0J)
for the exposition and that the date of
the opening be postponed until 1917. In
supporting their contentious the officials
point out the fact that the Chicago and
the Paris eXpositions were both post poned
beyond the original time set for the
opening.
The other members of the cabinet insist
that, in view of the present financial sit

termination of the present ministry to
