Putting Money in His Socks.

When the money panic started in
several months ago, the treasurer
OF Aurora county a not going to
take any chances on the county
losing its money If by his forethought
and carfulneess it could be saved.
At the start of the panic the treas
urer with 1rew all of the county
money from the banks and stored it
away In his sock, for safe keeping.
Now that the panic is practically
passed, the county commissioners are
arranging with the banks to put in
a bid for the county money to pay a
certain per cent for having 1t on
deposit in order that the county can
benefit from the use of the money
instead of the banks. The banks are
not tum5ling over themselves to get
the money as yet, but the comission-
ers hope to reach q satisfactory result
before they adjourn this week.

local service will be put on between
Harlowton and Musselshell, Mont.
These two towns are In the central
part of Montana and are ninetY-two
miles apart.
Work has advanced 20 rapidly that

tween st. Paul and Butte sometime

ished. Already the grading has been
practically completed and rails are
being laid at the rate Of four miles q

to Mitchell about the middle OF
this week for a brief stay before
returning to LOS Angeles.
The life OF Jospeh G. Harker has
been one that any young man can
pattern after with profit to himself.
lhe confidence which the people had
IN h'm was worth its weight in gold,
and 1T was one of his chief virtues.
He has lived a life of uprightness,
strlct %lntregity, a clear and honest
conscience and with those fortif-
CATIONS as the strongest part OF his
Individuality he could face the world
With a strength and honesty of pur-
pose which never gave room for
doubt of his actions. Since his early
manhood Mr.. Harker has Eeen more
or less engaged in business enter
p'ises in Mitchell. He was associated
with his father In the mercantile
trade, where his ability was marked
and where he made his warmest
friends. What young Joe Harker said
the people had the most absolute conf
dence in, and none can say that it
was every betrayed. What a splendid
example for a young a to make in
a community, and how few o. them
think to build along such lines Yet
1T was done without effort on his
part. 1t was in him, and the
training that his good father and
mother gave only accumulated that
spirit. Mr.. Harker was of a quiet
disposition, rarely placing himself In
the lime light, but Notwithstanding
that reticence his merit as a young
OF sterling qualities was not lost
fn the least. He pursued his bust
ness activities in the quiet tenor Of
bis life, and the people with whom
he was associated knew that strong
principles governed his every action
in life. The young mau, though cut
of ia an early career. has not lived
in vain. His virtues will be reflected
through the memories which Will
be associated with him and what he
has shown can be done by young
manhood will have its effect with
those with whom he has come IN
contact. We regret to lose Joe
Harker from among us. We have
known him intimately for a good
t:any years and we found in his life
those characteristics which go to
make up the life of a thoroughly
successful individual. His death is
most sincerely regretted, coming as
1t does at a time when life opened to
him its richest beauties in the enjoy
ment Of a home which he was making
for himself and his wife, and to her
who is left, and to the aaoring par
eEsa. sisters and brothers, this COM
niunity will join in extending the
most sincere sympathy.

RoosEvELI.TAFT CLUBS
They Will Assemble in the City OF
Mitchell for a Meeting-sena-
tor Kittredge Speaks.

In all probability one of the great
est political gatherings that has been
held in South Dakota in years will
assemble in Mitchell Wednesday
evening, Jan. %. 1t VIII be a gath
ering Of the Roosevelt-Taft clubs of
the state. Some two months ago
the first Roosevelt-Iaft club of the
state was organized in Mitchell, and
since then these clubs have been
organized In a great many places,
until at the present time they have
reached an important factor in the
politics of the state.
Recently the officers of the Roose-
velt-Taft club OF this CITY conceived
the idea of holding a monster gath
ering of the clubs of the state, and
sent out invitations for these clubs
to send delegates to Mitchell for the
meeting. Since then the replies
have been coming in fast and the
indications point to a very large at
tendance. This meeting Of the
Roosevelt Taft clubs, 1t is believed,
will thoroughly cement the repub-
licans of the state on the necessity
of sending from South Dakota a
delegation which can be relied upon
| to stand behind President Roosevelt
and his policies. and in case the pres
ident still adheres to bis oft-repeated
| ctnt0r, nntc f11of no will not oooo-<
the nomination. then the delegation
to support Secretary Taft to the end.
There is a strong Taft sentiment
in South DaSota which will receive
meeting OF The clubs.
1t is the Intention to have each,
county in the state represented at
this meeting, and delegates will
douhtlesslg lie selected from each club
to represent the county.
one Of the big features of the
meeting will lie the address of Sena-
tor A. B. Kittredee. An invitation
Was extended the senator by the To-
cal club for the senator to deliver the
principal address, and the lnlorma-
ZION has just come from him at
Washington that H. will be present
and deliver the address. Senator
KIttledye and Secretary Taft are
vely close friends and he stated that
he would be glad of the opportunity
TO speak to the memters of the
Roosevelt-Taft clubs.
The address of Senator Kittredge
will be along political lines, and
undoubtedly he will take advantage
Of the opportunity to clear up the
atmosphere al this time OF some
things that his opponents to his re.
election to the United States senate
have been saying. The senator hal

THE FIRST CHARITY BALL
TIE Event Was a Pleasing One in the
Annals of Society and Was
Largely Attendance.

The Charity Ball was the occasion
for a large gathering of Mitchell
society people FRIDAY evening at the
city hall auditorium, and the occa-
Sion was a most delightful and enjoy
able one from every standpoint.
The interior OF the auditorium had
been made exceedingly attractive
with the beautiful forest-like decola-
tions. The iron posts and the bal
cony circle were decorated with
leaves, while the stage was made
beautiful by the addition of SUM-
flowers across the base and pumpKln
vines in blossom strung across the
iron alch supports, and the brilliancy
of the scene vas enhanced by the
addition of a hundred i~ncandescent
lights.
The ball began with the. grand
march, which was started about 9
O'Clock. It was lead by Mayor and
Mrs. O. L. Branson and they we're
followed by a large number Of dane.
ers. From the grand march the
dancing program vas entered into
and twenty enjoyable numbers were
danced during the evening.
The music for the evening vas
furnished by the Collins orchestra,
which vas much enjoyed bv the
dancers.
The scene was an attractive one
with the decorations and the beauti-
full costumse Of the ladies.
Punch was served from four differ.
ent points In the room.
A great many tickets were disposed
of to both dancers and spectators,
many watching the affair from the
balcony. st. Joseph's hospital will
receive a goodly sun of money from
the affair as soon as the bills are
settled.
The committees in charge of the
various lines of work are entitled to
high praise for the part they contri-
buted to the successful affair.

EXPENSIVE DISTURBANCE
Thirty Young Men Had to Dig 9326
for Their Part in Disturbing
a Wedding Party.

A wedding and a charivari party
was the cause of a good deal of ex-
citement down in Bon Homme.county
early in the week. Miss Sophie Gall
and Fred Locks we're united Ia,
marriage six miles south Of Scotland,
and while the wedding festivities
were in progress, a party Of thlfty
young men from the surrounding
country and town, who were not
favored with invitations, proceeded
out TO the farm house and made
things exceedingly lively for the
wedding guests. All the Young men
were provided with guns and revolt
vers which we're loaded with soft
wadding, but some Of the guests
found that the waddlng was not soft
enough. While the guests went out
to demonstrate with the shooting
party on their dissertation OF the
OCCASION, some OF them we're nit
with the flying missiles from the guns
and revolvers, Carl Kost being hit in
the leg with a hurch of wadding.
Some of the window lights in the
residence were also broken. When
the father Of the bride made known
that he was going to start a damage
suit for assailing his property, tho
thirty young men got together and
tried to- settle the matter without
getting into court. The damages
we're finally adjusted by the young
men agreeing to pay 1925 for their
alleged fun, and the father Of the
bride dropped all further prosecution.

ing to the business of the state and
country and submitted, without
question, to these unwarranted state-
ments being made concerning himself.
The senator has never before made
a political speech and his entrance
into the political arena in this way
will without doubt create a great
desire to hear him.
