guest at the John Wilkeson
home.
Miscellaneous Shower.

Miscellaneous Shower.
Miss Margaret Coulthard was
hostess Saturday afternoon at
a very pretty Miscellaneous
shower given for Miss Ellen
Quist. The decorations were
appropriate for the Halloween
season. The guests were dir
ected to the dressing rooms by
a ghost in the upper hall and
the rooms were decorated with
pumpkins, fruits and chrysant-
hemums. Much merrjment
was caused by a cleverly devils
ed fishing game, after which
Miss Quist was requested to
take her place at the table in
the center of the room. A
daintily decorated and we'll fill
ed basket was placed before
her and the opening of the
packages was intensely inter-
esting. They were found to
contain many beautiful pieces
of linen most of them having
her initial embroidered upon
them, and there We're also some
dainty pieces of china. One of
the most pleasant features of the
afternoon was the demand that
each guest write a poem for
Miss Quist. At $50 a dainty
luncheon was served by Misses
Edna and Rena Coulthard.
Places were found at small
tables by little hand painted
cards. After luncheon was
over several musical selections
were given. When the guests
departed every one united in
wishing Miss Qaist all the hap
piness of life.

Dow City Won l6 to O

Dow City Won l6 to 0
The Mo Valley High School
football team played its first
home game Saturday at the
fair grounds and made a very
creditable showing. Although
beaten the boys showed the
stuff necessary to make a good
ball player-that is, the never
give-up.spirit. Dow City scor-
ed in a very few minutes after
play was called and kicked goal.
Following this they scored
twice more but failed to kick
either goal. Following this
they scored twice more but
failed to kick either goal, MAX
ing the score 16 to 0 in favor
Dow City.
Dow City clearly out played
the Valley boys in the first half
the forward passes seemed to
.bewilder the home boys. How
ever in the second half the
story different. Here is where
the boys showed the making, of
lne:,, real men, to come back,
after a terrific beating in the
first half, and hold the Dow
City team to no score clearly
out playing them as a team
certainly shows they are made
of the right stuff. Kinney was
substituted in the second half
fer McGavren at quarter and
the team showed marked inn
Iprovement. On the kick off
Kinney grabbed the pig skin
and ran the full lenghth of the
field for a touchdown but was
called back their umpire claim
ing he went out of bounds,
which was very doubtful to
most spectators. At this very
exciting event a number of our
fair teachers sitting in Mrs. w.
M. Carlisle's buggy lost their
balance and almost fell out. The
boys deserve a great deal of
credit for the showing they
made and with a little more
spirit such as s'upt. Bryan has,
would do wonders for the team
and the school both.
Kinney and Pagan did the
star work for the Valley but
every man did his best. For
Dow City Butterworth and Col
tall did the best playing, the
latter doing most of the ground
gaining for them. 1t was a
fine game and we hope we will
see more this season, also many
people at the side-lines. -

Senior Halloween Party.

Friday evening the Senior
girls entertained the Senior
boys at a Halloween hay-rack
party. After riding about the
town for about an hour and
giving various class yells, songs
and showers of corn IN every
one they passed, they went to
the country home of Marie
Emge. Here they were again
reminded of Halloween for the
house was decorated with many
Jack-o-lanterns, red autumn
berries and autumn leaves.
Here they were met by a for
tune teller and the usual Hal
loween games were played,
Mary Duer receiving the prize
for taking the ring from the
flour, Slough McGavren and
Vera Haldeman succeeding in
biting the apple suspended by
a cord after whice a two.coursed
supper was served. They re-
turned home at a late hour
arousing with their yells the
people along the way who had
long been peacefully sleeping.

The Temperance Meeting.

The Temperance Meeting.
The temperance mass-meeting
called for Sunday night at the
New opera house, was held &C
|cording to notice, and although
the night indicated a storm, by
1880 p. M, the house was we'll
filled with gentlemen and la
dies, ali seeming anxious to hear
the promised address.
Mr.. George Haskell called the
house to order. and Rev. Mac
Allister, of the Presbyterian
church offered prayer, and then
Prof. Bryan, OF our Public
schools, was introduced and de-
livered a short but very earn
est and eloquent address, full
of good points, and a strong plea
in behalf of the thousand boys
and girls under his charge, and
upon whom the responsibilities
of home and country depends,
and pleading for them a high
temperance, moral ideal, free
from the temptation of the
Saloon. His address attracted
the profound attention of the
large audience, and left a wish
to hear him again.
Then came the climax of the
evening when H. H. Sawyer, of
Sioux City, was introduced, and
in a logical, eloquent and forci-
able manner presented the SUBJ
iect of prohibition to the consid-
GRAFTON of the people of this
city, and especially against the
reopening of the Saloons in Mo.
Valley. He argued both sides
of the question, showing il their
is one reason for the existance
of the Saloon, there are a thous-
and against their existance.
He secuted with scorn, the
idea that the farmers demand
the saloons as reward for their
trade. He showed by the re-
cords that for every dollar re-
ceived from the license tax the
people paid ten dollars in court
cost, sheriff and police fees, and
pauper support, to say nothing
of the ruined homes, the dis
honored families. That the Sa-
looms fill our jail, panitantia-
ries, asylems and almshoused,
robs children of the advantage
|of education, and causes untold
.niseries of many homes, with
out one redeemlng feature for
this blight upon society.

land a few years since is sweep
ing on with irresistible force,
having conquered near two
thirds of the States, and point
ing to that glorious day when
"there will be a school house on
every hill! side and no Saloon in

opinion that the day Of the Sa-
loon is numbered, and those
who favor their establish
ment in Missouri Valley are not
working for the good Of their
fellow man and common hui
manity, and must fail. The
City Councils composed of men
of families, and will, no doubt,
reflect public sentiment on this
question.

Disappointment.

q SoA0idl elAlllS, are ulSdppOlaC-
ed in President Taft, we have
no doubt. He seems to be on
every side of all questions of
interest now before the people,
keeping in view only the politi-
cal views of those whom he adj
dresses. He reminds us of the
story told of an incident that is
said to have happened during
the war when general opinions
was not always safe to express,
and neighbors often became en-
emies from difference of opin-
ion. 1t so happened that a man
was riding along the public
and met a squad of
men who asked him on which
side he stood, and supposing
them to be Union men, he said:
"On the Union side," and they
gave him a pounding. Going on
a little further he met anther
squad whom he took for Rebels
and so he said on the side of the
South, and they gave him a Sc
we're licking; on meeting a third
squad, and the same question
being asked hesaid:: Gentlemen
you say first" That is the way
with Taft. IL he can learn the
character of his hearers, he will
agree with them eff they will
only say first"
Roosevelt knew his man. We
are inclined to think that Theo-
dore was looking forward to the
next national election, and he
selected a man who would be a
failure, as his successor who
would be easy to defeat, and so
he turned Taft as the trump in
the Presidential game in 1908,
to insure his success in 1912.
The result will be, either that
Theodore Roosevelt will be the
Republican nominee for Presi-
dent, in 1912, or the election of
a Democrat to that position.
1t seems that Taft favors a
Ship Subidy bill, a High Pro-
tective tariff; a Central Bank,
Bank, to assist Wall street in
power and financial greatness,
but opposes a Postal Savings
Bank, the poor mans friend; an
Income tax, and every measure
favored or approved by the peo-
pie. He approves the Cannon
Aldrich tariff, and every trust,
syndicate, or combination that
helps the rich and Expresses the
poor. and center all power in
the hands of monopoly, placing
the money of the nation in a
monster Central Bank in the
east and approves a tariff law,
a law that imposes additional
burdens upon the laboring men
especially men of families, and
adds to the rich mans wealth.
He is undoubtedly the rich
mans friend.
We are told that times are
good and money plenty, which
may be true in part, but the
trouble is it is good and money
plenty in the hands of the rich,
while the poor never had a har-
der time to keep the wolf from
their door than at this time.
He denounces the Constitution
of Oklahoma ''as the Geological
garden of Cranks," yet that
Constitution was made and
adopted by a large majority of
the people of that State and APP
proved by Congress; he is op-
posed to the election of United
States Senators by the people,
a measure of popular demand;
he accepted an increase in sale
ny of and then signed an act to
secure a gift Of $4,000 of the
peoples money, Gee collation.
of the Constitution he swore to
obey and defend, and is now

"The Third D gree" is best
classed as a psychological dra-
ma, treating as it does with the
evils frequently wrought
against an honorable commune
ty hM the mistaken efforts of
certain police circles and "yel-
low" journals. Few among the
lai'y are really familiar with
conditions existing acress the
inner portals OF policeprecincts
and systems. Such ignorance
is indeed extant in regard to
the workings of a system of
preliminary inquiry employed
by the police, and known as
the third degree. The evils of
this system are limitlcss in as
much as the most respectable
citizen may become it's victim
Through seeming facts as out
lined in a hard chain of circum-
stantial evidence. In this play
MIR. Klein has shown the posi-
bilities, together with an in
tensely interesting scene depict
ing the actual use of the third
degree by the police.
The particular case of the
police third degree shown by
Mr.. Kleinin The Third Degree
concerns the confession of
Howard Jefferies, Jr., only son
of an aristocratic father, after
seven hours of merciless ques-
|tioning, to the murder of his
friend, who is known to be a
suicide. The subsequent scenes
of battle for the boys life are
made the more impressive since
the only ore who still believes
him innocent is his young wife.
"The Third Degree" will not
be seenin this vicinity except
in Omaha during the week of
Sunday, November 7th, and
the unusual engagement of one
whole week is made with the
intention of giving those in the

ity of seeing the great play as
it was originally produced. Ma
