A High Priced Contributor.

Theodore Roosevelt on the con-
tributing staff of the Jasper News!
can you Imagine such a state Of
affairs as that3 Well, don't try to
imagine it, for it's fact. The
first article by the ex-president ap-
pears on page of this issue and
one will appear each week until
furthur notice. We have gone to
considerable expense to secure this
feature. Mr.. Roosevelt is given
credit quite largely as the greatest
man-save the Nazarene only-in
the worlds history. We don't
know about that, but we do know.
as a great many Others know, that
he is the highest priced writer of
modern times, which means of all
time. Wherefore, it's hardly nee
essary to tell you that we didn't
get the Roosevelt articles for no.
thing. We believe however, they
are we'll worth the price. We be-
lieve you will enjoy every article
from Mr.. Roosevelt's pen Webe
lieve you will enjoy them for an in
definite length of time. If it ap
pears that you don't we shall ex
ercise the prerogative that ever
the lowliest of editors has with thu
mightiest of authors, and cut Ted
dy off our staff.

Who's Mr.. Zuck?,

Now who is this person called
Homer luck? A man by that
name supposed to live at Garth
age is said to have received mott
fication of having fallen heir to an
$50, 900, 900 estate in Germany,
and few days later, the Carthage
Press received a letter signed Ho-
mer luck, written at Jasper, and
offering to install various manufac-
turing industries at Carthage un-
der the general head of the I'm
land Empire Mining and Manufac-
turing Company" The prop
osition luck made has all the ring
of unlimited finances and all he
asks is $500 bonus. However, the
city of Carthage was given only I'm
til Aug 10Th to act on the matter,
so they must have lost out.
Now Carthage people are more
concerned, apparently, in who this
| luck might be, rather than over
J his offer, Has he Matched the
story of his inheritance and follow
ed it with this manufacturing bluff
all to blk Carthage of $Ioo, or has
he really inherited the money ant
become mentally unsettled by his
good fortune? Or is the Offer
really as good as it looks? The
latter alternative, which is scarcely
considered, is of course within the
range of possibilities.
| The difficulty thus far has beer
the unearthing of Mr.. luck. Who
and where might he be? Doe
anybody know?

"Devil" Yarn Refuted.

A couple of weeks ago we print
ed story of a devil child" re-
ported to have been born to a ne
gro couple at Little Rock, Ark.
We stole the yarn from all ex-
change, which one we have for
gotten, and it makes no difference
anyway. We published it be-
cause it appealed to us as about
the most artistic lie we ever heard.
1t appealed to D. w. Teeter in
the same way evidently, for after
losing couple of nights sleep over
it he wrote to Little Rock to veri-
fly or refute the story. His reply
came last Monday. We print it
here for the benefit of whoever
may be interested.

Surprise on Their Friends.

News of a wedding that occurred
several weeks ago has just leaked
out. On August sth Leonard
Keener and Miss Villa Martin
two popular young people of Jas
per, slipped over to Girard, Kans.,
on visit" and had first class
wedding knot tied by Rev. Nor
ris of that city. They didn't tell
their friends about it on their re-
turn, and it was not until the first
of this week that they uninten-
tionally let the secret out. Now
they are receiving from their friends
the congratulations that were due
them sometime ago but which are
not less hearty or sincere on ac-
count of the time that has elapsed
since the happy event.
The groom is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. N. Keener, who live on

His bride is the daughter of Mrs.

"BOOTIFUL" SN0lNvr@ont s'a
MAKES MUCH TROUBLE
Entire Fire Alarm System Was Knocked
Out, Some People Were Without
Electric Lights and More Missed
Morning Gossip Over Wire.

The fire alarm system was knocked
entirely out of commission last night by
the snow storm, and the electric light
and telephone systems were also badly
disabled The snow, being very damp,
stuck to the wires and piled up 50 that
many wires were broken, and on Long
street at 1880 o'clock pole on which
wires Of the fire alarm system and alarm
box number 10 were attacked was brok
en- off by the weight OF the snow on the
wires and fell to the ground This
caused all Of the fuses to burn out in
the central station and put the system
out of commission until repairs We're
made Yesterday afternoon wire of
the fire alarm system snapped off on
South Main stree nearly opposite the
Ire station.
Chief Gladding and the superintendent
OF the system got to work making re-
pairs last night and early this morning
and this forenoon had the system in
working order again.
In parts OF the city there was trouble
with the electric light wires and some
houses were without lights. This morn
ing the electric light company had their
llneman out knocking the snow from
the wires in places where there are a
good many wires on pole
The telephone company was the worst
affected that it has been by any storm
in a long time. Trouble calls began
coming into the wire chiefs Office at
o'clock last evening and by 10 o'clock
this forenoon there were reports Of 90
wires In trouble and all Of the trunk
lines knocked out. The snow piled up
on the smallest wires to the depth Of
three inches, breaking many wires and
bending others down SO that they
crossed The full force Of linemen were
out patching up the breaks last evening
and went at it again early this morn
ing Though everything is being done
BY the company to keep the service in
the best working condition possible, un-
der the circumstances with the snow
still falling it viii be impossible to
keep up with all the troubles.
The Western Union also had their
share of trouble from the storm. At
ile local office this forenoon there was
practically no communication to be had
with any points on the lines and hardly
an instrument was clicking
Inquiry OF Street Superintendent De-
Bruno If the storm had been any damage
to him disclosed the fact that the de.
partment had its street work an fin
ished up and prepared for the winter
The work which has been going on
through the summer on the streets was
practically all cleaned up a week ago
Yesterday the superintendent had the
snow ploughs ont cleaning ont the gut
ters so that they would not fll up with
ice in case Of freeze This morning
the piows were run through the cutters

gated to the rear of them will be the
everyday lot of mortals who simply

ing organization For mystery's sake,
they are called brigands. They will also
be highly decorated to suit the part.

call for the ehicken-pie supper was is
sued From that hour until seven
o'clock. a large crowd was constantly
passing to and from the tables, which
We're well arranged about the hall. The
excellent menu. consisting OF chicken pie,
cabbage salad riced potatoes, hot rolls,
Jelly. cake and coffee, left nothing to
be desired A large corps Of mattresses
enabled everyone to be served in a cred
liable manner and without delay
After supper the remainder OF the time
until o'clock was given over largely
to an inpsection Of the various booths
erected about the hall Two large booths
were divided into departments and we're
tastefullv arranged in crepe paper of diff
ferent eolors The sale of fancy articles
was in charge of Mrs. Harry Smith and
Mrs. Frank Robinson, while Mrs j w
Vaughan, Mrs. Hortense Anderson and
Mrs Edward Lewis had the oversight OF
the aprons and other useful articles

Promptly at eight o'clock the program
began. The first number, a piano duet
by Misses Coburn and Rickert. came in
for no little applause and was followed
by a vocal solo. rendered in q creditable
manner by Lyle Young. An exhibition
with the Indian clubs by Alex. Crtnck
shank was of high order, Mr. Cruick-
shank proving himself a juggler of no
mean ability Newell Parker then rem
dered a vocal solo with pleasing effect
A well-rendered vocal solo by Mr.. Blake
brought the program to a close
The fair will end this evening with
an extensive program, in which vocal,
violin and coruet solos, readings, and
series of well-executed drills will figure.
No pains have been spared to make the
as entertaining as possible, and
efforts OF those who have the program
will merit a large attendance
The work of planning and carrying
out this annual fair had been marked
so far by unusually successful results.
On no one person or committee has
the bulk of the work devolved Nearly
every member of the guild, who has been
able to help. has devoted much time and
labor in endeavoring to make the affair
a success. Therefore, the members Of
the guild. as a whole. are to be com.
mended for their mtiriug efforts and to /
them is due the credit of last nights /
success.
