meet the hostile moves of first

eral Leonard Wood, chief of staff,
given before the house committee on
military affairs, and made public to-

not last through single engagement,
and other conditions are equally bad e.
General Wood explained his plans
for re-organiznig the militia and
urged that a more mobile force be
ready at all times to take the field.
There is no use talking about
our patriotism and fighting quail

The Christmas celebration of the

A short business session was held

Several recitations we're given by
young ladies present which brought
loud applause, but the one which cap

Mignon Oliver. entitled. Il Am Bad
Little Girl" II was simply great and
the applause compelled her to give
another selection. Short talks were
given by p. II. Darcy, Gideon stolz.
and s. A McFadden. Mr.. Darcy re-
cited that touching little poem en-
titled Lonesome. Oh, SO Lonesome.
Candies and nuts were distributed
to each and every one present. also
a great number OF presents.
The Ladies' orchestra was present
and rendered the class of music that
would make the dead shake their
feet Dancing was INDUCED in until
a late hour.
The exercises were a success in
every way, but then that is the only
way the A. o. U. w. and the Degree

With the Inauguration of the new

also the filling OF all the appointiye
Offices and much speculation is be-
ing indulged In in the city's political
circles as to the changes which will
be made in the present appointive
force, and as to whom their successors
will be. II is understood that most
OF those who now make up the ap-

Many Candidates for Commissioner.
There are probably more candi-
dates for the street commissioner
ship than for any other appointive
office in the city. Street Commis-
sioner Cornelius is a candidate for
re-appointment and his friends be-
iieve that he win be the successful
man. The friends Of Charles Yannke,
Earl Race. Henry Tarpley, George
SweigIe, @. Roberts and M. Ward
are however. very active and because
OF this 1t would be hard to predict
who will secure this office.
Other Candidates.
For the city attorneyship City At
torney Corby is q candidate for
and he will meet op-
position in F. A. Turner. who is now
identified with the law firm of Car
son & Brown.
City Physician Miles will also have
opposition In DR.. Ray Pemberton,
whose friends are urging his candi-
dacy. 1t Is predicted that DR.. Miles
will be reappointed.

WONDERFUL EFFECTS WITH

COLDRED LIGHTS.

The First Christian church was
most beautifully decorated for the hol-
iday services. The decorations used
were Oregon grape, ferns. palms and
electrical effects. Around the front OF
the stage was a semi-circle of tinsel
stars. Each star had circle about
one and a half feet in diameter sur

ing the star show out very beautiful
ly. On one side of the stage was. a
poinsetta plant made. OF crepe paper
and electric lights. This part was ar
ranged on an elevator and hidden be-
meath the stage. Each poinsetta how-
er had an electric globe In the center
of It to illuminate the red petals.
Surrounding the flower was a bank
of Oregon grape, ferns and palms. At
the proper time the elevator on which
this plant was setting, rose up
through the floor and the plant APP
peared before the audience In full
bloom, the electric lights In each
flower making them stand out most
realisticly. At the back of the stage
was a lattice work of green crepe pa
per with red pdinsetta flowers and
electric lights scattered over 1t. This
lattice work was banked IN the CEN
ter with Oregon grape and circles
containing red lights. A beautiful
Christmas tree decorated In the most
artistic manner. also adorned the
stage.
DIR. II. C. Epply is responsible for
the unique electrical effects displayed
and for the arrangement of the dec
orations. He was assisted in carry
ing out the work by members OF the
church. Altogether there were over
100 electric lights used in the decora-
tions and the results obtained were
certainly a credit to the originators OF
the ideas.
