COTTONWOOD
WILL CELEBRATE
c,.;zens Have Subscribed Nearly
600 Toward Holding Largest
Two Day Celebration Ever Held
Here.

Cottonwood is going to have
another rip roaring, two day
celebration this year.
This fact is assured and you
richt as we'll begin to make
preparations to attend it both
days.
The committee appointed by
the Commercial Club to have
charge of the celebration circu-
lated a paper yesterday forenoon
and got nearly $500 subscribed
TO defray the expenses of a two
day celebration and it is thought
this sum can be raised to nearly
$500 when all the business men
have been seen.
Thus far only the preliminary
steps have been taken and it is
impossible to say just what pro-
gram will be arranged for the
celebration but the matter is in
good hands and the public can
rest assured that they will be
given their moneys worth of fun
and amusement on both days.
Plenty of good music will be
furnished by good brass bands
and some fast ball games are be-
ing arranged for on both days.
Besides these features all kinds
Of sports and races will be pro-
vided and liberal purses hung for
all events.
The liberal contributions of the
business men places the COM
mittee in position to fill both days
chock full of amusing features
and not be cramped for funds
and as those in charge aim tc
make the celebration the biggest
and best ever pulled off in Cot
tonwood land we have had some
pretty good celebrations here,
tOo) those who attend it will
have no cause to complain about
its not being worth while.
AS the Fourth comes on Sun.

day this year the celebration will
probably be held on Monday and
Tuesday, July 9Th and 9th.
Don't miss it or you'll be sorry.
Locals Won Both Games.

AS we predicted several weeks
ago, the local ball team is set
ting down and beginning to play
good ball now and can be expect
ed to put up a fast game until
the end of the season. Lack of
practice caused them to lose sew
eral games when they first start
ed out but the boys are getting
into their stride now and it will
take pretty fast team to hand
them the small end of the score
in future.
The Vollmer team, which play
ed Sunday, was easy picking for
the home boys and only afforded
them a little practice work, as is
shown by the score of Z to / in
favor of Cottonwood.
On Monday the Slickpoo In
dian team, which has cleaned up
about every aggregation in the
lower country outside of Lewis
ton, crossed bats here with the
locals and was defeated by a
score of 9 to 7. The game was
interesting from start to finish
and, but for one bad inning for
each team, the score would have
been much lower. The Indians
felt sure of an easy victory before
the game started but soon chang
ed their idea. They used two
pitchers in the game but the
home boys succeeded in finding
both of them for a number of
hits. Rustemeyer pitched for
the locals and held the visitors
down nicely, besides scoring two
runs out of three times up. All
of the other players did equally
good and the team gives promise
of being we'll up to the top of the
list in the league when the sea-
son closes.
The Grangeville and Cotton
wood high school teams are to
play here this afternoon and as
they are quite evenly matched q
close game is expected.

HYATTSVILLE. July .. 1909.
Between forty and fifty representa-

last evening and organized the Citi-

the constitution as submitted was adopt
ed. The question as to whether a mem
ber of the fire department should be
named chairman of the fire department
committee brought forth lively discus
sion, Mayor Magruder stating that GER
tain apparatus belonging TO the depart
ment had been neglected, and he believed
that some one who would feel free to
crlticise the fire department should be
named as chairman. DR. Guy w. Latimer
ment and stated that Mayor Magruder
as chief executive of the town. was
charged with seeing that the fire depart
ment apparatus, property of the town. be
compromised by approving a section
which provides that no officer or employe
of the department shall be the chairman
OF the fire committee.
The committee on organization, through
R. E. White. suggested a list OF officers,
making 1t clear that the committee did
not think it incumbent upon the meeting
to adopt the suggestions. When the
names were read 1t was found that all
six officers were residents of the third
ward, and this brought Mayor Magruder
again to his feet with the suggestion that
two officers be taken from each OF the
three wards.
There was some discussion on this point,
sentiment being divided, and the matter
was referred back TO the committee and
will be again taken up at the next meet
ing of the association Thursday evening,
July 8, in Masonic Hall.

This, however, has no effect on the en-
forcement of the statutory statewide
prohibition law, which went into effect
yesterday. Even If the injunction Is made
permanent and sustained by the supreme
court it will not affect the prohibitory
law.
Although the mayor. the chief of police,
the judge of the criminal court and the
attorney general all publicly stated that
they would enforce the new law. drinks
were sold at most of the saloons.
No arrests were made One of the
thirsty would walk into barroom and
ask the keeper:

To this the response was:
Yes, how'll you have it,"
If 1t was gin rickey. the near had

beer was put out in near bottles. and
those who came to taste and complain
remained to drink and rejoice.
The statute in force forbids the sale
within four miles of any schoolhouse OF
intoxicating liquors or beverages contain
ing any percentage of alcohol. The su-
preme court in several decisions has up
held that law.
The injunction strikes at the bill pro-
hlbitlng the manufacture of beer. liquor
or any beverage containing any percent

to effect for six months yet.
1t is probable that suits will be hied

Coming TO Smyrna.

With the aid of imagination some
fairly adequate idea of ancient splen-
doris may be formed. Magnificent
chariots drawn by Arabian stations,
herds of elephants and camels carry
ing Bikners, warriors in chain armor,
sacred cattle and carts of golden
plush, bullocks covered by silver
trappings, odd conveyances harnessed
to elephants, camel teams and ma
rives dicect from India, all take part
in this production. Howe's Great
London Shows carry large amount
of live stock. Over two hundred
horses have to he cared for every
day. 1t takes tons of provender to
feed them and the menagerie. The
animals of the menagerie are gen
orally of the most interest. The
hardest and longest lived and most
intelligent is said to be the elephant
Some of the largest of this show
are used to push the heavy wagons
and cages about the lot when the
show is setting up. One morning an
elephant became enraged at his dri-
yer and wheeled quickly and struck
at the man with his trunk. The
beady eyes of the animal glistened as
he trumpeted his anger. The keeper
lashed the big brute with his whip
and subdued him without any dam
age being done. Had the man been
hit by the blow it would have killed
him. When an elephant gets so bad
that he is dangerous the owners have
the animal killed, although the kill
ing of an elephant means a loss of
several thousand dollars. Shows
carry everything that can be found in
a good-sized city. With the aggre-
cation is a blacksmith, a barber,
harness maker. two painters, glider,
cooks, bakers, electricians, minis
ter, veterinary doctors, and its regu-
lar family physician. Two exhibi-
tions are given daily, rain or shine,
and in case of inclement weather,
waterproof tents insure ample protec.
tion and comfort. The show will be
here Tuesday, September 14th.

Of a year Of strenuous effort by a man
who has devoted the greater part of
his life to ameliorating the lot of Lon
don's crippled children.
Sir William is a great merchant and
has been a member of the city cor
poratlon for years. Two years ago he
was chosen lord mayor of London, the
highest honor that can come to a citi-
zen Of the ancient city, and he de.
termined to devote his year of office
and the great influence which the of.
nee gave him to establishing an in
stitution which should do what no in
stitution did-really cure the little
cripples and restore them to the world,
able to support themselves and free
from all disabilities.
He threw the whole influence Of his
great Office into the scale. He issued
letter after letter to the press, point
ing out the need Of an institution such
as he had planned and the money be-
gan to flow in, slowly but steadily.
Then he interested the queen in his
work and the money began to flow
faster. He got her permission to or
ganize the Queen Alexandra League
Of Children to aid in collecting for
the home. and the queen herself de-
signed the badge of membership. The
league now has many thousands of
members, who are described by Sir
William as the little children who
are we'll working for the little children
who are ILL.,"

A Medium Sized Journey
BY Strickland W. Gillian.

Samuel w, Homer, fact-iuggler and
popular song writer, was a Greek
from somewhere on the Asiatic side
of the line.
Wherever he went and asked for a
hand-out, and they seemed inclined
to be backward about coming across
with the pie, Homer would start to
sing, whereupon the food would be
forthcoming SO that he might fill up
his face and dam the noise. Those
who have heard both Homer and
Tetrazzani say they could tell them
apart at a long distance. By using
his voice and his harp as a threat,
the old man managed to extort a
right good living out Of the people
who lived closest to the pixies.
Before he had been hoboing it very
long in preference to school-teaching,
he misplaced his eyesight, becoming
totally blind. He afterward said, wag-
gishly, that he hadn't expected to
give up those last two pupils when he
quit teaching. This is the only joke
Prof Homer ever cracked. After this
he always dictated his poems to a
stenographer, which Is why it was al
ways SO hard for college students to
read them.
Eventually. whether he ever lived or
not, Homer died, and all the Greek
towns that had set dogs on him and

Prof. Irving Fisher Of Yale has been
suggesting to the life insurance com,
panies that they establish a depart.
ment of health as a means of pro.
longing the life of their policy holders
and thus of increasing their own
profits.
But there is danger in such a PROMO.
sition. Besides being an unwarranted
interference with personal liberty. they
might eventually bring about such a
condition of health as to remove all
that fear of death which constitutes
the chief urge of life insurance.
1t would be much better IL the life
insurance companies could invent a
portable and well-disciplined disease
which the agents could carry around
with them but not use until the pros.

The disease should be SO CONSTRUCTED
