Promoted to Lieutenant-Commande

A letter from Irwin F. Lands, re-
ceived a few days ago, contains the
very gratifying news that he has
just been promoted from the rank
of Lieutenant to that of Lieutenant
Commander in the United States
Navy. This is not only delightful to
The Index, but to all Barber county,
and particularly to the relatives and
intimate friends of the distinguish
ed officer, who reside here.
Mr. Lands is in command of the
U. S. S. California and is stationed
off San Diego. His home is tempo
rarily in San Francisco where Mrs.
Landis is now staying.
We take the liberty of quoting
the following extract from his letter
knowing that it will be of interest
to his old friends of his boyhood
days:
Some months ago 1 had a hard
job on a small ship whose only mis-
sion was to act in the capacity of
watch dog over a South American
Republic that deserves no protection,
and while l was perfectly satisfied
for the time, because Jessie was at
Corinto with me, the prospects
were far from promising. Central
America duty is hard, trying duty
and is usually without any mitigat-
ing circumstances. 1t is very un-
usual that ships ON that duty have
orders that will permit or make pos
sible the presence of officers wives
| consequently when 1 was ordered tc
San Francisco by mail steamer fol
duty on this ship was very vel
satisfied
''The California is generally ad
mitted to be the best ship on th'

being one of her officers.

dred men and ten officers. 1t give
me plenty to do but like the shl
and duty better than any other
have ever had
i There are few men in the servic
who have been promoted as rapid

promotion since he left the academ
, and began duty. That was in 1S9'

summit of naval achievement.
We confidently expect to see tn
day when he shall attain this RAM

Their First Born Dead

Another Medicine Lodge family
is sroely aggrieyed today, and a
gloon is cast over the entire city
and community. George Tincher,
only son and first child of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. n. Tincher, died at IL
o'clock Monday night, December 10,
1910, at the interesting age of z
years, 9 months and "a days
He took sick a week previous to
his death, and a few days after his
taking sick very critical case of
pneumonia developed. Drs. Gilbert
and Coleman were in attendance al
most constantly. professional nurses
were at the little boys bedsii:. dur
ing every moment of his sickness
and the anxious parents and grand
parents spared nothing that might
alleviate, assuage or soothe, but all
to no avail. Disease conquered and
left grim sorrow and sore distress in
it's wake.
Until his sickness one week ago,
George was robust, healthy boy
and if one were to have speculated
as to which of the boys of the city
would reach the threshold of man
hood, or which would not, George
would surely have been one of the
first to have been chosen as the
| most likely to reach the age of ma
tuTity. His death is a calamity to
his parents and relatives and a
genuine grief to their friends
George was a most lkable boy,well-
behaved, fnannerly, brilliant, and
gave rich promise of useful N oble
manhood, Why he should have been
cut off in the budding days of his
boyhood, In the early morning Of
his existence when so much of op.
portunity and radiance was before
him, is one of those unfathomable
mysteries that have haunted the
human, race Through the ages anG
will perplex the human mind unit
time shall be no more. Shelley said
How wonderful is death!" It ma!
also be said in this instance, how
cruel death seems.
In vain we ponder for words tha
might express the sympathy we fee
for Mr.and Mrs. Tincher in this sea
son of heart agony. The vacan
chair, rsae unused toys, the Thousand
memories that will stand out forev
er and forever, of the things sait
and done by the loved and lovin;
child in his purity and innocence
will be an animated monument t.
them always.
1t is altogether fitting to commen;
to them, in this sad ordeal thi
soothing benediction: ''It is bette
to have loved and lost than never t,
have loved at all"
The time of the funeral had no
been definitely decided upon whel
the paper was printed.

Going up

The many friends of Jeff K.
Wilson of this city will be gratified
to learn that he has just been elect
ed General Manager of the Stewart
Lumber Company which is one of
the strongest lumber corporations in
the west. The company will double
its capacity the first of the new
year and will then have eighteen
yards in Kansas and Oklahoma.
Mr.. Wilson will reside in We'll
lington where the Company will es-
tablish headquarters January LIST.
Heretofore he was secretary Of the
company but during the past three
monhhs he has been doing little Of
flee work, having been assigned to
work on the road. His promotion is
very gratifying to him personally,yet
he feels a great responsibility and
realizes that there is arduous labor
ahead
knowing "Jeff" as we do, we
have no doubt of his making good.
and we congratulate him

When Dad Would Foot the Bill
(An Rights Reseved)

(Au Rights ReServed)
l was happy in my youth,
And a little wayward too, forsooth !;
For l spent. the greenbacks with a
will.
When Dad would foot the bill.
My patents then we're always bright,
My linen shone Immaculate white;
A fashionplate! looked not ill,
When dad would foot my bill.
I'd patroniZe a show each night;
A chat with Her, by dim moonlight
Then a tete-a-tete, a good chefs
skill,
When Dad would foot the bill.
Now the world is sadly changed,
Thru many climes I've ranged!
Weary, footSore, working still,
Since Dad refused to foot the bill.
My linens soiled and yellow now.
My trouser legs are fringed, /
know;
My fashionplate's passed thru the
mill,
Since Dad won't foot the bill.
I've searched my pockets DER and
Ger,
For lonesome coin I've lost before.
For the love of Mike! I've had my
fill
Since Dad won't foot my bill.
Time, ah! Time! turn back in your
flight
Make me a kid just once for to
night!
Really I've worked until 1 ana ill. z
Dad oh Dad! Won't you foot the
bill?

Two Good Games

Two excellent basket ball games
were played at the Opera House last
Friday night. The competitors were
the Gerlane boys vsThe NJ. L. A. A.,
and the Gerlane girls VS. the B. C.
H. S. girls.
Both games were spirited but the
home teams outplayed the visitors
by handsome odds. There was some
fast playing however and the Medi-
cine Lodge teams were conscious OF
the fact that they had to work hard
and they earned their victory.

TUESDAYS ELECTIONS.

1t was Democratic Tidal Wave all Right
While the returns from the 38 States which
held elections November 9Th are incomplete
that the Democrats have, as was expected
been victorious generally. The Republican
majority in the United States Senate will be
somewhat reduced, and the Democrats will
probably have majority in the House, al
though some of the dispatches indicate that
this is in doubt.
In New York State John A. Dix, Democratic
candidate for governor, was elected over
Henry l. Stimson, Republican, by plurality
of about So, 600.
candidate for governor, is elected over Vivian
NJ Lewis, Republican, by about $1,000 plural
ity.
In Massachusetts,, Eugene NJ Foss, Demo-
cratic candidate. defeated Governor Eben S.
Draper. Republican candidate for re- election
by about $4,000 plurality. The Republican
candidate for Lieut.. Governor and the remain
der of the State ticket was elected. The leg
islature remains Republican and will e-elect
U. S. Senator Lodge.
In Connecticut, Judge Simon E. Baldwin,
Democratic candidate, is elected governor over
Charles A. Goodwin, Republican, by about
1000 plurality.
cratic candidate for reelection, appears to
have carried the State by about 5000 over
Warren G. Harding, Republican candidate
In New Hampshire, Robert P. Bass, Repub-
lican candidate for governor, is leading Charles
E. Carr, Democratic candidate, by about 5000
plurality.
In Pennsylvania the election of John K.
Hener, Republican candidate for governor, is
claimed by large plurality.
In Rhode Island, Governor Pothier, Republi-
can candidate for reelection, is very slightly
in the lead over Lewis A. Waterman, Demo-
cratic candidate.
In Tennessee the Republican candidate. Ben
W. Hooker, is apparently elected by $4,000
plurality.
democratic governors have been elected in
Alabama and South Carolina.
In Iowa, the Democrats claim the election of
Claude R. Porter for governor, but this is not
yet conceded.
In Wisconsin, the election of the Republican
candidate for governor, Francis E. McGovern,
is claimed by reduced plurality and the re-
turn of Senator La Toilette to the United States
Senate is assured.
In Michigan, Chase S. Osborne, the Republ-
can candidate for governor, appears to have a
safe lead over L. 7. Hemans, Democrat.

A Tie Vote in the Islesboro Class,

The returns from the class towns of Pros
