MISS HERNDON WINS GOLD MEDAL IN
 CONTEST
DECLAMATORY EXERCISES FRI DAY EVENING SHOWED
 ABILITY.
FOLLOWED BY SHOW iNDDANCE
"WE ARE ALL TEETOLARs" PRE-. SENTED BY HIGH SCHOOL
 PUPILS AT CLOSE.

Miss Ethel Herndon won the golt medal, the only prize, at the High schoo declamatory contest at Dreamland Fri day night, and win go. to Tempe Sat urday as the representative of the Globe nigh school in the territorial declama tory contest there.
 The contestants and program were as follows:
 Douglas Duncan, humorous version of Mare Anthony's oration over the body of Caesar. Arthur Pavitte, "Winning World, '' a selection from the writings of Eugene V. Debs.
 Miss Ada Lange, "The Old Sur. geon s Story" tale of the civil war
 George Belcher, Trowbridge' g "Ons Days Solitary" being the soliloquy of a convict about to be sent into col. itary confinement.
 Miss Winnie Belcher, "The Eve of Waterloo" a selection from Byron s "Childe Harolde."
 Miss Ruby Johnson, "Death of the Old Squire," story of devotion to the old-time sport of hares and hounds followed to the sound of the last bugles for the hunter.
 Miss Ethel Herndon, "My Christmas Story" selection from the writings of Father Vaughn, who vouches for it's truth.
 Each of the contestants had made his or her own selection of the recitation to be presented, the children appearing solely upon their own merit, which bat added to the difficulty of the task of the judges who were called upon to de. termpe the relative merit of eight young American orators, each of whom proved unexpected ability.
 The judges, Rev. II. P. Cory. Judge Y. s. Nave and Mrs. C.. T. Sturgeon, sat in different parts of the hail dur. ing the recitations, each provided with cards upon which they recorded the percentage of the various contestants under the heads of articulation. gesture. emphasis and general effect, the aver. age from each mead as summed up from the cards of the three judges being used to determine the winner, who was de- clared to be Miss Ethel Herndon. with Miss Ada Lange as close second.
 TThe declamatory contest was fol- lowed by clever farce, "We Are All Teetoalers," which was as. favorably received as had been the orators-and that is saying great deal. The cast was as follows
 "Jedediah Maple Willie Mellow en.
 "Sarah Ann, his ife"-Margaret Cole.
 "Jirah Maple "-George Belcher.
 Ezekiah Maple ''--Arthur Pavitte.
 "Hulda Maple Winnie Belcher.
 "Tom Tombred of New York ''--- Douglas Duncan.
 Owing to some haste to clear the floor after the performance, no time vas given for any public announce. meat of the winner of the contest, and for many people this will be the first information as to who won the gold medal
 The entertainment closed with an elegant dance that lasted until about midnight, youngsters and grownups en- toying themselves hugely.

SNOW KILLS GROWS
BIRDS FOUND AFTER BLIZZARD

PATTON, Iowa, March 6.--One of the freaks of the recent storms is the kill ing of the crows. On Edwin Sungrecn $ farm southeast of town there is a crow roost where thousands of crows con gregate to spend the night, they seat tering out over large scope of country throughout the day in order to get their food. During the sleet and snow recent ly they became covered with snow to such an extent that thousands of them died. There are so. many dead that they have become menace to the health of the community; and they will have to be gathered up and burned or buried. Several have estimated the dead as from three to five wagon loads. Mir. Sungreen says there are so many left alive that the thinning out is scarcely noticeable. He estimates the dead at from one to two thousand.
