Maccabees Dance

The first annual ball of the La
dies of the Maccabees, which was
held at the Opera House last
Monday evening, was one OF the
most largely attended affairs of
the kind ever held in Winslow.
The ladies had put forth every
effort to make the affair a social
success, and how we'll they sue
ceeded was clearly demonstrated
during the evening, everyone
present agreeing that the dance
was one " hich will be remem-
bered for many days to come.
Promptly at nine O'Clock the
drill team of the organization
marched into the hall and carried
out a number of pretty and diff
cult evOlutions earning the plau-
dts of those ssembled. After
the drill the grand march was
called, and from that time until
the closing notes were struck by
the orchestra, fun and merriment
held sway.
Music was furnished by the
WinslOw Orchestra and it is not
stretching the imagination par
ticle to say that at no previous
affair of this kind has any better
music been rendered. The orches-
ira is exceptionally balanced
and the music rendered last Mon
day indicates close training as
well as knowledge of the work
in hand.

Not only was Dr. Chilson prom

broad minded and possessing
splendid judgment his council
was frequently solicited and his
influence was felt in many of the
larger affairs of the city. For a
number of years he was a men,
ber of the First ward school
board and was identified with
that body when the present
school building was erected. He
was a member of the board of
trustees of the Congregational
church and was identified very
prominently with the movement
that resulted in the erection of
that beautiful edifce. which now
stands as at least a part monu-
ment to the uplifting influences
of the exemplary life that has
just been removed from this com
munity. Although he was known
to nearly every man in Appleton.

only those by whom he was

to again be at his office. Although

felt so far recovered that he ven

day to day gradually sapped

DIR. w. H. Chilson was So years
of age, having been born on April

York. When only 6 years of age,
with his parents he came west
and settled on a prairie farm IN
the town of Lawrence. McHenry
county, Illinois, IN which vicinity
his father, who is now SO years

Perhaps no man in Appleton
had more interesting military
career than had DIR. Chilson. The
most important battles in which
he participated was at the seige
of Vicksburg, the Red River cam

and the greatest hardship of all
his military career was his ex-

prison, where he was confined tor
a period of eleven months.
DIR. Chilson received his early
education in the country schools
of his native town. Before en-
listing he had done a little work
in a dental office and upon his re-
turn he resumed his studies in the
office of leading dentist at Har-

years at Harvard and becoming
proficient in his chosen profession
he went to Jefferson. Wis, where
he opened his first office and

GAMBLING DEVICES ALL
 MAGICALLY DISSAPEAR

DOUGLAS, Oct. A. Special )-
 Every nickel in the slot machine, except vending machines, and every dice box disappeared from the cigar stands and saloons in Douglas yester- day afternoon. Not a gambling de vice could be found about the city last night
 It is not the territorial law under which the orders were issued but the city ordinance. After the passage of the territorial anti-gambIing law these gambling appliances disappeared for time until it was learned that the act of the last legislature did nct ap- ply to their use Then they were dusted off and again appeared on the counter where they have since work. ed assiduously.
 The city ordinance applies to all methods of gambling and hence pro hibits dice and slot machines. It is the promise of enforcement of this or dinance by the city police which has caused the disappearance of both ma 1 chimes and dice.

CHILDREN ARE BEING SOLD
 TOBACCO

Apropos of the recent decision of the police department to enforce the curfew law and the law prohibiting youngsters lettering about in pool rooms. Marshal Stevens says that the pooi-roonnA proprietors have all been notified to keep minors out of their places of business or render them selves liable to arrest. and the off, cers instructed 10 warn children to keep of the streets after o'clock, and all parents asked to cooperate with the officers.
 Supt. Philbrook of the Bisbee schools. is of the opinion that in ad- dition to the pool-rooms being clear ed of youngsters that the so-called 'penny-tobaeeo dealers" be put und- -er surveillance.
 X day or two ago one of the teach CTS became suspicious that fourth grade lad, about eight years old. was using tobacco. He was taken and questioned. and searched, and in his pockets were found a pipe. package of tobacco, matches and plug of chewing tobacco, the whole outfit complete.
 We instituted a campaign last year against dealers who sell the weed" |" said Prof. Philbrook. "The youths are questioned. and in every case the

name of the dealers where it is pro cured.
 This resulted in the conviction of six dealers last year. and we are not going to let up. The name of the dealer who sold this is known and he will be dealt with later"
 The board of education is willing to lend the prosecution any hand in getting after the tobacco-sellers," " said I. w. Wallace yesterday. Also in the case of prosecuting pool-room proprietors who allow boys to con gregate about their places.
 As a general thing, men win not go where boys congregate and therefore there are large number here who can be eiassed as 'small,money men who cater only to boys. The other ey- ening glanced into one place and there not one man of age in the large crowd inside. Those who prey upon the nickle of the sehoolboy should be given lesson of the law
 The resolutions of Marshal Stevens to enforce the curfew law has had a noticeable effect and generally speak ing children are keeping off the street after s o'clock. However. some are still to be found in the pool-room as long as they remain open. which is until about 12 o'clock of week night

COUNTRY CLUB IS IN PROSPEROUS
 CONDITION

The report of the treasurer and secretary of the Warren District Country Club from April to Septem- Der, inclusive, is being sent out to members this week The report shows the club to be in better condi- tion financially than even its most enthusiastic promoters dared to hope for at the beginning. The member ship is representative of the best citi- zenship of the district, and it is eyi- dent that all take particular pride in maintaining high standards for the enterprise.
 The fame of the country club is one of the best in the entire country, and far away the best in the Southwest. is spreading, and strangers who are in the district for a short time are almost certain to ask about 1t, thus showing that it is well known over wide territory.
 Distinguished visitors are entertain ed at the club house as they could not be entertained anywhere else in the district, and it rightly gives them a most favorable impression. They so among their friends in other parts of the country and tell with enthusi- asm of the we'll appointed club house and grounds, reached by modern trol- ley cars, "in the very wilds of Ari- zona." This phrase may be exag- geration now, for the "wilds" have been toned, down and tanned by such things as this country club and the trolley cars, but it was not so long ago that the whole district south of Lowell was as wild and deserted as could be imagined. Now, thanks to the country club and tie electric cars, 8 modern community stretches from one end of the district to the other.

HEFFERN FARM HARVESTING
 SORGHUM

Just about anything that will grow anywhere in the United States will grow on the experimental farm of the Heffern Mining & Development Co. This has been shown by the com pany's sending all over the country for seeds of different plants, vege- tables and staple commodities of all kinds that spring from the soil. planting them in their land in the Sul- phur Sphings valley with the above result.
 Sorghum feed Is the latest thing raised, and the company has just completed cutting 200 tons of it. which they have raised on fifty acres of land There is also forty acres of every conceivable variety of truck garden vegetables.
 The assortment of vegetables and melons that Mir Heffern brought to Bisbee and placed on exhibition last Friday is certainly credit to this section of the country and is no doubt the commencement of the opening of a large agricultural district in the Sulphur Springs valley near the Swisshelm Mountains.
 This experiment of the Heffern company has proved that by the ap- plication of scientific farming any thing can be grown in this so-called arid tract by the application of the formulas of cultivation and irrigation, ard the country promises in season or two to rival the famous Salt River valley which is making Phoenix and vicinity known throughout the length and breadth of the country.
