First MORTGAGE Bonds.

BY reason of the insistence of many
investors that their bonds be of first
mortgage it may be said that the i'm
portance OF the word first" is de-
pendent upon the circumstances. says
Moody's Magazine. A bond may be
first in fact 1t may be so only in a
relative sense in that it indicates the
order in which the bond was put out
by the issuing company or the use of
the term first" in the name of a bond,
undesirable and loose though it be in
such instances. may be upon the slight
ground that the mortgage is indeed
first on some part Of the property.
while on other parts it may have but
third or fourth claim. 1t is there
fore obvious that the mere presence
of this term in title does not neces-
sarily make the bond an absolutely
prior lien. 1t has been estimated that
90 per cent in number and % per cent
in value of steam railroad ''frsts" are
first liens in name only.

Evansville

At the home of Mr. and Mrs Levi
Sperry a very pretty wedding took
place at high noon Thanksgiving day,
when their daughter, Miss Cora, be-
came the bride of William Liston of
Orfordville.
E P Savage and wife of Madison, but
well known to many Evansville people,
are going to make their future home at
Boise City, Idaho, where their two
boys reside. They are about ready for
removal there.
On Monday, Nov %, the 87th ami
versary of Mrs Angelina Johnson's
birth was announced, and in honor of
it w H H Johnson and wife, at whose
home the mother resides, entertained
the family relatives and few friends
A family dinner party was the prom
inent feature of the occasion and not
only a pleasant but very enjoyable
time was had.
Mrs c. Gruwell, who came from
Rock Island, III, several days ago to
visit her daughter, Mrs G w Leyda,
was taken suddenly i'll while in Chicago
with her son-in-law, at the home of an
other daughter, and before medical as
sistance could be fully rendered, ex-
pired. For the past thirty-odd years
she has been constant nurse for her
invalid husband and when he died the
first of the year life seemed to have no
charms or pleasures for her. Her over
taxed strength was not equal to the
demands of nature, hence the sudden
and sad death.
Friday night last at the K P hall
fOreWell reception was oivan n r He'd
dies and wife by the Pythian Sisters
and brothers. A few guests outside
the pale of the orders were in atten-
dance and pleasant time was had.
The program was varied and of a ma
ture which made it interesting. At the
close of the program Most Excellent
Chief Mrs Sylvia Colony, on behalf of
the order, presented to Mr. and Mrs
Heddles a set of solid silver knives.
Mr. Heddles ably responded to the gift
in most feeling manner and briefly
alluded to the pleasant times always
had with Evansville friends.

Thumbscrew AGAIN In VOGUE.

In olden times thumbscrews were
used to torture prisoners into confess
sion and thus gain from them secrets
that only intense bodily pain would
bring forth: but this, with many other
fiendish means of torture, was left be-
hind by advancing civilization. Now.
however, it has made it's appearance
again, but as means of self-inflicted
torture. says Popular Mechanics. 1t is
the newest aid-to-beauty fad in Europe
and its mission is to squeeze the tips
of the fingers until they change from
fat and pudgy to long and tapering.

Cambridge


Miss Zenia Patterson of Baraboo has
been visiting Miss Pearle Krippner in
Oakland.
Karl K Amundson, student at the
Milwaukee and S medical college,
came home to spend few days during
mis- Thanksgiving vacation.
The Rockdale mill is again in full OPP
GRAFTON after undergoing repairs and
improvements which included the in
stalling of new machinery that enables
the firm to manufacture the finest
grade of wheat and rye flour, whole
wheat, graham and granulated corn
meal. The mill is now one of the most
modern and up-todate in this section.
The Cambridge train again reached
the depot Wednesday morning = the
first time in over two weeks. During
this time the train has made it's stop
just north of the bridge, which became
dangerous on account of a broken
stringer. A new bridge with three con-
built and is strong enough to withstand
any strain that will be required of 1t.
In the matter of an appeal taken to
the county court by Guy Black and
others, from decision of the super
visors of the town of Oakland, refusing
to lay out highway on the north side
of Lake Ripley, commissioners were
selected to review the matter on Nov
Both. The names were selected by lot
of a list submitted by the county Judge
and R B HELEN, S E Waterbury, of
Jefferson, and Gilbert Hoffman of the
town of Aztalan were chosen. The de-
cision will be made within ten days.

The odor Of Clay.

The peculiar odor Of clay Is un-
questionably due to organic ingredi-
ents. Although this cannot be isolas-
ed or detected by chemical analysis.
they can be classified according to
their physiological effects. which vary
widely. Rohland has succeeded In
transferring the doors of clay to sac
cnarate OF iron and has thus recog-
nized 10 distinct varieties. Louis has
made similar observations. employing
ammonia as vehicle for the odors.

have favored, upheld and voted for the
Spearing ordinance, in which is provld-
ed every safeguard consistent with COM
mon sense and with the spirit of the
Constitution which declares that gam
bling is a vice and laws should be en-
acted for its suppression.
Possibly Councilman Deal may have
accepted the acclaim of brief moment,
accorded him at the Councils session, as
an approval and as an endorsement OF
his championship of this gambling ordl-
nance but he will soon be undeceived.
Already there is being aroused the re-
sentful influence of the citizens of the
community who have been insisting and
who shall continue to insist on reason
able legislation which shall operate
against gambling and the class who
thrive by gambling.
There was once enacted by the Coun-
Gil an ordinance which covered fully and
reasonably every expectation against
gambling and gamblers. This ordinance
was revoked or declared null for the
reason that at the time of its enactment
the Council was without such authority,
but has since been provided by an Act
of the Legislature.
Why not revive and enact this ordi-
nance into law?
Is it not favored because it would
operate against gamblers and gambling !?
The Deal ordinance is farce. 1t is
aimed at private card parties. 1t will
never be enforced. The gamblers and
gambling by cards or any devices OF
play will thrive as under the ordinance
which the Spearing ordinance was in
tended to supersede.
Seriously it would seem to be sense
less to attempt to pass any ordinance
applying to gambling with any degree of
earneStneSS.

THE MARCH OF FASHION.
Something Quite New In Underwear.
GirIish Cashmere Erocks.


An extreme novelty is a combination
garment of knickerbockers and prin-
cess chemise. The upper part fits the
figure closely and has double ruffle
of lace which falls in a cascade from
the yoke almost to the waist line. The
lower part of this garment is gathered
into band of lace and insertion at the
knees, each being edged with full
ruffie of linen and lace This entire
combination is striped with insertion
and lace. 1t is an attractive idea
which has evolved from the silk bloom
ers of last year.
Frocks of soft cashmere are especial
ly suited to young girls. The texture
of the material can be worked into
soft girlish lines, and the clinging
quality allows the slimness of a youth
full figure to be retained. When plan
ming a cashmere house gown do not
fail to visit the ribbon counter.
Among the fads of the moment is
that of lacing the sleeves all the way
up on the outside of the arms.

THE POLICE Jury.

The Police Jury in declining to order
an election as had been anticipated by
the liquor traffic and its allies, should
be commended by all good citizens of
the parish. The petition signed by 632
of those favoring an election for whis-
key was in the minority, and therefore
could have no standing or recognition
against the petition of citizens aggre-
eating 1887 men, among whom are num-
bered leading citizens of Shreveport and
of Caddo parish. An election at this
time, to agitate the question of selling
liquor in Caddo parish, is undesirable,
Such an election would lead to turmoil
and strife The citizens who oppose such
an election are actuated by a higher
motive than in the result of the election,
which they would carry, unquestionably,
by a greater majority than about year
ago. 1t is not the apprehension of the
result but it is the realization of the
strife which would follow, besides the
expenses attending such an election.
Having been denied the election, the
trafickers in liquors and their allies
should rest satisfied for at least year,
when they may come again before the
Police Jury with petition for another
election.
