an evening Of pleasure for all who at

The Junior class are enjoying Shake
speare the last few weeks. This is a
study which every one would like if they
would interest themselves in it instead Of
using time for useless triAes.
The feats in athletics which are per-
formed on the grounds are worthy of no
tce. II these things were worked up

a hard year this year but just wait.

Of Eldred Post. The Enca,npment con-

Irving Oldham and J. w. Finley re-
turned from their trip to Arkansas last
week. Mr.. Oldham got back Wednes-
day morning and Mr.. Finley on Friday.
MIR. Finley was very favorably impressed
with that country and is strongly inclined
to buy several tracts Of land there, in
which event he and his brother. T. D.
Finley, will likely move to that state.
Medicine Lodge would regret very
much to lose the Finley Bros.
Samuel Griffin returned home from
Lincoln. Nebraska. last Friday morning.
Last week we noted his going to Ne
braska's capital city to argue the Modlin
damage case in the supreme court. He
returns with most encouraging report
and is quite confident of success. The
court seemed very much interested in the
presentation Of the case and extended the
time Of argument ! 5 minutes on side
which is rare practice IN the higher
courts. A decision is expected in about
two weeks. While Mr.. Griffin did not
return In an automobile as we anticipated,
we are still prophesying. And here's
still hoping.
