CALLS OFF RADICAL ORDER.

As a result of the widespread oppo-
sition that developed, as detailed by
Wednesdays Sentinel, and rs result
of City Physician Gothard and the
Paiisade board of health being
brought to realize that the order was
unnecessary and would work u hard
ship on the people, the order issued
"Wednesday morning over the sigma
ture of Dr. Gothard, commanding all
residents of Palisadc to have their
homes fumigated by next Monday
morning. was called off this morning.
As stated by The Sentinel Wednesday
there are but very few cases of
scarlet fever in Palisade and these are
properly quarantined and are being
cared for with little danger of n
spread of the disease. Therefore the
general sweeping order issued by the
city physician and the board of health
of Palisade aroused much Indignation
and called forth n decided opposition.
As a consequence the order has been
rrscinded.

The marriage OF Mr. Thomas c.
Davis, of Massilon. Ohio. and Miss
Jean l.. Martin. one of the teachers
in the city schools here, TO take place
in January, was announced yester-
day. The marriage is to occur at the
home of the brides parents in Ne
braska. The announcement of the
marriage was made in unique man
ner at big Thanksgiving dinner at
the Forry home yesterday.
II was certainly merry and happy

of the Excelsior laundry entertained
the men employed at the big laundry
yesterday Mr.. Ferbrache gave "A
sumptuous Thanksgiving dinner at
which he and Mrs. Ferbrache acted
as host and hostesses at their beau
tiful home on North Seventh street
The guests were the male employees
of the laundry and members of the
Ferbrache and Kicker families. There
were twenty or more guests present
and the occasion was one long to be
remembered with keen pleasure by
all who shared the hospitality of The
Ferbrache home.
At Margery hall last evening re-
ception was rendered the Delta Wis

dents at which prevailed the best of

two most excellent musical selections
were on the program and afterward
songs were sung by the different
schools and the school yells were
given. The captains of the four teams
gave short talks which were gener-
ouly applauded and at o'clock the
social gathering was brought to an
end in time for the Delta people to
catch their train. 1t was very en-
joyable affair and one which will go
a long way in maintaining good feel
ing between the rival schools.

Several hundred people attended
the great annual masquerade ball OF
the local council of Redmen last night
at the Auditorium. IL was a mem
orable event and it is doubtful If
there has been a more enjoyable pub
lie dance in this city in recent years.
The masqueraders were numerous
and the variety of costumes aroused
great amusement and enthusiasm.
The dancing program was excellent
and all other arrangements were su-
perb. The merry making kept up un-
Ill a very late hour or rather until a
very early hour this morning. The
ball was u success from every stand
point. The committees are to be
congratulated.

that, had the fire gotten beyond con-

Yesterday Grand Junction observed
Thanksgiving Day in IA very ideal
manner. Especially after noon did
the business district wear a Sunday
air and in the morning few of the
stores were opened. All public offices
and practically all private offices
were closed all day. The holiday
spirit pervaded the city. Gayly at
tired crowds were out on the streets
almost all hours of the day. OF
course the big event of the day was
the games at the fair grounds and
about 1000 people spent most ,of the
afternoon there. AS usual there were
scores of family reunions. big dinners
parties, small dinner parties and
many other happy social events in
the afternoon and evening. As the
dinner parties and family reunions
were so numerous 1t would be i'm
possible to give mention of all of
these particular family and dinner
functions and as one deserves Just
as much mention as the other il is
really unfair to mention a few and
not mention all. The day was cloudy
but very pleasant. There were no
unfortunate accidents to mar the day.
as has been the case with several
Thanksgiving Days in Grand juno
tion's history. Withal it was a very
charming Thanksgiving in Grand
Junction. Truly, with the record

sion to decide to build separate
memorial on its own soil on the main
land, where the memorials will not
only be visible from the lake but will
also be easily accessible to visitors
by teams as well as by boats and
trains.
If an historical consideration is to
determine the location, then the COM
missions have no alternative except
to place the monument at Ticonderoga

conderoga. The arguments for the
identification of all other places with
the visit of Champlain to the lake
which bears his name rest almost en-
tirely on conjecture, except that he
says distinctly the party proceeded
along the west side.
Under these circumstances we in
sist that common sense considerations
should determine the. location of the
Champlain memorial or memorials,
and the question whether the two. com
missions shall unite and possibly act
in concert with the general govern
ment should rest entirely upon their
ability to unite in choosing an island
in the broad lake which will render
the monument both visible and ac-
cessible for the greatest possible num-
Der of people.

Swindle Still Working.

Some time ago a gang OF slwind1ers
worked off some so-called ALIASES
and directories OF Marshall county
upon our people at SIS per sue ker.
The same gang has evidently been
at work in Jasper county, for a news
paper of Rennsher says:
THE Atlas publishers who have
teen getting up an atlas oil Jasper
county are now delivering same a.
Sl5 per. The binding on the book is
an right, lbut the paper on which the
maps OF the township towns. are
made is of too cheap quality for a
work OF this kind, and will not bear
any great amount OF handling. Fif-
teen dollars lis, in our opinion, too
much for work of this kind, and it is
not hkeN any great number will be
sold except to those who subscribed
before the work was gotten out, and
over I'm enton county most of the
subscribers are refusing to pay,
claiming the book not what the so
sloitcrs represented it would be, and
they viii resist payment in the
courts.
Publishers in other counties should
warn thetr readers against the op-
