PROPOSITION TO CHANGE
INAUGURATION DATE UP

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16-The oft
discussed proposal to change the date
of inauguration of the president Of
the United States from March 4 to a
later date was before the. house COM
mittee on election of president, vice
president and members of congress
today. 1t was presented in the shape
of constitutional amendment offered
by Mr.. Gaines of West Virginia, at
the special session. The last Thurs
day in April is proposed in place of
March 4.
Commissioner MacFarland of the
District Of Columbia, was before the
commission today and for an hour or
more sought to show why the date
should be changed. Mr.. MacFarland
was kept moderately busy replying
to questions of several members who
pertinently wanted to know if the
Inauguration was not largely a Dis
trict of Columbia affair in which the
rest of the country took no part ex-
cept to pay high prices for hotel ac
commodations and grandstand seats
along Pennsylvania avenue.
The sentiment of nearly all the
committee is said to favor a change
in the date. The senate committee
on privileges and elections also will
give hearing on the subject.

Father and the Boys"

William H. Crane, the foremost Of
American comedians who comes to the
Keylor Grand theater Tuesday even
ing December 21, in George AIDES COM
edy, Father and the Boys is Crane
at his choicest as a character come
dian of ripe and subtly humorous
methods His Lemuel MoreWood is one
of the most exquisitely natural inn
presentations he has given the stage
in many years. With the touch of the
artist he builds up the character,
showing first the. broker doting on his
boys who are all the world to him, but
regretful that they exhibit no dispo-
sition to take life more seriously
Then he "cuts loose" and the art OF
the comedian is revealed in the droll-
cries that are delightful and laughter
compelling. His assumption of sport
ing proclivities, his determination II
have the first good time he has ever
had in his life, his kindheartedness
are alldepic ted with the touch that
does not fail of it's mission at any
point. And in the few moments OF
pathos that the part contains Mr..
Crane arrests laughter in a jiffy and
makes his sentiment seem real.

ong trail and frees Mrs Perkins from
his unfortunate presence. The fable
of the Doldubs runs something like
this:
"Once upon a time, living in a wobbly
nest in an old tree was a family of
strange birds called Doldubs. First,
there were only Dippy D ldub and his
mate, Yappy Doldub. Then two little
birds were born and they were Galley
Dollie Doldub and Dottie Doldub. This
old nest was crowded and the little
birds needed lots of things, but Dippy
was a sort of Yellow bird, and one day
he few away and left Yappy to take
care of the whole family. Things went
hard with Yappy, because she had to
buid a new nest and feed Dottie and
Dollie and work ever so hard, until
one day Lawgatitis Bird came along
and sang to her. Yappy was beginning
to like the fine, generous LaWgatitis
bird, when after being gone so long
that Dollie and Dottie didn't remember
him. old Dippy Doldub suddenly came
back"
According to the story, Dippy went
away again SO Yappy could marry the
Lawgatitis Bird-and Mary Jane was
sorry for poor Dippy But just then
the angry mob wrecked Mrs. Perkins
printing office, in order to show the
villages contempt for immortality, and
came to give Nabal a costume of tar
red feathers that would have indeed
made him look like Dippy Doldub, if
not worse. Whereupon Mrs. Perkins
made the announcement: This is my
husband" and morality was Modified.
So the two parents sit down on the
front stoop' to make it up, each con-
Tossing to motives of heroism as well
as of duty.
Mary Jane, up in her bedroom, opens
the window and asks her mother if
she can give a party; she receives
permission, and Nabal, now destined to
the eternal identity Of Hiram Perkins
says Guess who's going to be
there?' The answer is Dippy Doldub
Curtain with the tacit assurance that
Dippy and Yappy and Dolly and Dottie
will get along together in the same
nest quite comfortably forever and
ever.

COURT REGRETS LEGAL
VERBIAGE NECESSARY

OLYMPIA, Dec. 17--The supreme
court today says that it regrets it is
confined to legal language in deciding
a King county case and that the
graphic language of fiction would be
more appropriate to the subject" G.
H. Cunningham sued Frank w. B..
Rorris to collect on promissory note.
The court says the note is void, being
without consideration and obtained
through fraud. The note was given in
payment for 5000 shares Of capital
stock of Geminold Manufacturing COM
pany, which Cunningham falsely rep
resented was a prosperous concern
with a factory and factory site in
King county.

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 3.-Clay,
Robinson and Co., report the mar
kets at So. St. Paul, Mimi, as fol-
lows:
T. Receipts of cattle here today were
estimated at 1900, quality common.
Very few grass steers here good
enough to sell at 5.25, only one
bunch of IL and one of S, but out
side of these there were practically
NO steers here at all. Very few cows
sold up to 4.50, most Of them landing
around 400. We look for light re-
|ceipts of cattle the balance of the
week and a good market. We quote:
Good to choice steers $50 to $50;
good to fair 400 to. $50; poor to fair
$50 to 400; good to choice cows and
sheifers $50 to $50; fair to good 800
to $50; poor to fair 2.35 to 2.85; can
sners and cutters 1.50 to $50; butch
.er bulls 1925 to 3.75; fair to chico
s:yeals $50 to $50; heavy and COM
mon calves 800 to $50.
z&g The stocker and feeder market
was rather dull on account of the
lack of outside buyers on the mar
ket, and everything sold at about
steady prices. We quote: Good to
choice feeders 400 to 4.60; fair to
good $50 to 400; poor to fair 800
to $50; good to choice stockers $50
to 400; fair to good stockers 2.S5 to
3.25; poor to fair $50 to 2.85; stock
heifers and feeding cows $50 to 800;
feeding bulls 2.75 to 1926.
Z With $50 hogs on sale here today
the market ruled steady; sales rang
ing from TAO to 7.65, and the bulk
landing at 7.45 to $50.
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1909-08-05

The hog supply was light with
prices steady. The range was from
$7.4007.65, the top price being paid
for a choice lot by a city butcher.
The bulk went at $7.45@7.50.

Wheth2r it was mistake or joke,

a question that is stu plzziing most

about that; it certainly was a floral

formed the trimn ings. In the C nter

rosebuds.

Tie rest of the passengers smiled
and many of them, being married
wondered as well, but nobody venturel
