About that School Piano.

The News gladly gives of its space
this week that Mrs. Addie r. Torrey
may tell the story of the beautiful new
piano which for several months has
been source OF pleasure and profit TO
all the children of the public school, TO
all religious, social or other public gath
erings or entertainments at the Audito-
rum, and which, with proper treatment,
will be a source OF pleasure TO all people
of the place for many years to come.
The News is sure the people will not
allow the public spirited members OF
the Musician club long TO tote any re-
naming burden of debt on this piano
after reading Mrs. Torrey'S story, which
she tells at the request of interested
friends of the club:
"All who are interested in the piano
which is being purchased for the Audi
forum, will be pleased TO know that
there is but one hundred and sixty dol
lars remaining 10 be paid OF the four
hundred dolIars-the purchase pnce OF
the piano. This piano was purchased by
the Musician club for their use, the use
of the public school and for use in the
| Auditorium generally. The money
raised and paid has been by this club
and by the teachers and children in the
public school. The committee OF the
club have been made happy by friends
who have asked, ''How much more is
needed in the Auditorium piano fund.-
and followed by saying they would like
to contribute. Mrs Edwin Gilbert,
Mrs. E. H. Williams, Mrs c. E. Phillips
and Mr.. NJ. H. White have been these
good friends. The last donation was
received from the Children's Club,
formed some years ago by Mrs. Mary
Scott Miller. This little club will be
pleasantly remembered for the many
pleasing entertainments it gave under
Mrs Miller's guidance. When the club
disbanded there was thirty dollars re.
naming in the treasury and which was
deposited in the bank, TO be given TO the
public school at some future time. 10
those who were formerly club mem
bers the proper time seemed to be now
in helping the school children make up
their part of the piano fund. With their
consent the treasure, Mr.. Tom Russell,
has given a check for this amount, thir.
ty, dollars 10 the executive committee OF
the Musician Club-Mrs. w. D. Ben
ham and Miss Helen Norton, this com
mittee making the payments upon the
piano. The piano is fine instrument,
OF pleasing tone and is a great addition
TO the Auditorium. Mr.. and Mrs. L. S.
Chafer were so much pleased with the
piano when they used il during the Bible
Conference that Mrs. Gilbert asked the
privilege of sending another check TO-
ward its final payment. A great effort
is to be made by the school children
and the Musician club to cancel as much
as possible of this Indebtedness during
the summer months. The school chill
dren have agreed TO earn fifty cents
each this summer for this object The
Musician Club has also plans TO do lis
part. All friends of the school and the
club should feel it a pleasure TO help pay
for this piano"

Washington, Nov 29.-President Taft

occasion being the celebration of the two
hundred and ninetieth anniversary of the
signing of the compact in the cabin of
the Mayflower.

society, former Associate Justice Henry
Browne, of the United States supreme
court, POSTMASTER of the evening.
I wish to testify to my gratitude at
being advised that I am descendant of
one of those who came over in the May
flower" said the president. Time was
when I thought those who came over in
the Mayflower plumed themselves as be-
longing to the aristocracy of the nation.
On the contrary. 1 believe now that they
showed a humility and proper spirit Of
publicanism and democracy"
Speaking of the reason why the land
ing of the Pilgrims was so important in
President Taft declared it was because
Pilgrims were among the first who land

summer residences-New England.
They showed the uses and needs of a
written constitution" he continued. ''They
showed a great capacity for self govern

Young Bridegroom. Under Arrest, Ill
in His Cell


lola, Kan, Nov. 29.-Henry Gibson,
the young bridegroom, who has been
obliged to spend the greater part of
his honeymoon in the county Jail, may
gain his freedom because of illness.
He was in bunk in the lower tier
of cells in the Jail when DIR. H. r.
Goshorn called on him. He said his
head was bothering him.
After careful examination, Dr.

suffering from an abscess in his head
which had broken and was affecting
ear.
Gibson is taking medicine pre-
scribed by DIR. Goshorn at regular in
tervalS, Pete Ball, a prisoner, acting

merce commission and state commits
sioners from Massachusetts and other
states will present their views of fed
eraI control of the issuance of railroad
securities. President Arthur T. Had
ley. of Yale university. presided.
I'VE have not agreed upon a remedy
for the present situation regarding
stock and bond issues" said Commits
siOner Clements. eff we had solved
the problem there would be no need
for the appointment of a commission
such as this one. There is no dissent
ing voice on the interstate commerce
commission, however, to the PROPOSE
ton that regulation and control of Sc
curities is necessary"
Commissioner Clements said he had
opposed he measure to regulate the is
suance of securities because he did not
believe it embodied all the features
such a law should have. He objected
to the provision that no new road
should be allowed to sell its stock and
bonds below par. Some new roads had
to do this, he said, in order to obtain
funds for construction work.
Walter L. Fisher of Chicago, F. n.
JudsOn of ST. Louis, Frederick Strauss
of New York. and B. H. Meyer of Mad
isOn, Wis, the other four members Of
the commission, were present. They
asked the members of the interstate
commerce commission whether that
body had made plans for a general
valuation of the property of all the
railroads, Mr. Clements said it had
not. but that experts could be en-
ployed who would be able to fix a.
value that would give shippers and
government authorities a basis for the
defense or condemnation of rates.
The commission will not attempt to
agree upon any plan for stock and
bond control until it has discussed the
situation thoroughly with the federal
and state railway commissioners.
