CARRY A. NATION IN COLFAX
Spoke to Large Audience in Baptist
Church Friday.

Carry A. Nation was in Colfax last
Friday forenoon, speaking in the Baptist
church to full house; in fact, the over
How extended into the street. The ladies
particularly were in evidence One thing
can be said about Garry Nation, regard
less OF all else, there ia no deceit in her
composition. She went after the ladies
roughshod for their mode of dress in
many ways, mentioning decolete dresses,
immense headwear, filed with the plum
age of beautiful and innocent birds, false
hair and other false things too numerous
to mention, which the ladies took in the
best OF humor. it being their turn to
laugh when Garry sailed into the men
for their many shortcomings, which she
did without gloves.
The republican party came 10 for
lashing that made the standpatters
squirm in their seats, and caused the
democrats to wink their left optics, as
much as to say, Didn't tell you so?
But the democrats crawled into their
shells when the Nation referred to the
great party fostered by Jefferson, which
now contains little of the principles of
Jefferson, as dead party-a great snake
without head-it being time for the
republicans to wink back.
She gave the Masonic order hail Co.
lumbia, sailed into the Unitarian church,
raped the Christian Scientists, de
nounced in scathing terms the tobacco
habit-saying people could get tobacco
drunk as we'll as whiskey drunk-and
was not at all diplomatic in the way she
handled things.
The Nation is opposed to local option
or temperance ESQ called), but advocates
rohibition-national prohibition. Not
only the sale but the manufacture OF
liquor should be prohibited, any other
plan is a makeshift. Perhaps the Nation
is right. Her talk of one hour was
greatly enjoyed by all present, the raps
along with the pleasant things said.

JUSTICE is SWIFT THIS TIME
Tramp Assaults Little Girl Gets
From 3 to 10 Years.

A tramp, who says his name is Thomas
Jones, was brought here from TekC
Sunday by Deputy Sheriff Cole on the
charge of having assaulted 1O-year-
old girl OF that place by the name OF
Hazel Clark Jones was seen by railroad
meH engaged in switching cars, Who
grabbed him and gave him a terrible
beating. Hazel was going from her
home on the west side OF the o. X. 4 n
tracks into the businf SO section OF town
on an errand. This was early Saturday
evening Jones seized the little girl, but
she screamed and broke away. The
crew noted the incident and on her re-
turn Hazel asked the men to protect her.
This they promised to do, telling her to
proceed home, that they would keep
sharp lookout. Jones was in waiting at
the gate OF the girls home, but she
jumped the fence and ran into the house
screaming. The mother came to the
door and asked the wretch what he
meant He replied insolently and started
to go when the trainmen caught and
gave him beating that he will remem-
Der the rest of his life.
Jones was seen in the county jail Wed
nesday afternoon by representative OF
The Gazette and presented sorry spec
tacle. His head and face looked as
though it had come in contact with
hornets pest, and he seemed to walk
with difficulty. He said he was tramp
and had been in Tekoa but few hours
at the time OF the beating. He further
said he had been drinking and had no
recollection OF assaulting the little girl,
which can be taken with many grains OF
allowance.
Jones appeared before Judge Garfield
Wednesday forenoon, pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to from to 10 years in
the penitentiary. This will stop bis
tramping for awhile. When asked why
he pleaded guilty Jones said the wit
nesses were all fixed and he would have
to go to the pen anyhow.

ELBERTON PICNIC IN JUNE
Great Prep parations Are Being Made
for the Annual Event.

June Is, 16 and II are the dates set
for the annual picnic at Elberton. For
16 years this picnic has been held and
the 18th bids fair to eclipse them all.
Nature has done great deal for Elber-
ton in the way Of surroundings that are
pleasing.
1t was in 1894 that the idea was first
conceived to hold picnic in the town
grove. The 21st of June was the time
set and the citizens wanted to celebrate
it. They invited their friends. They
came and were charmed with the sur
roundings and program. They wanted
to come again. That was when they
celebrated only one day. One day WAS
not enough, so two days picnic was
held and still the people clamored for
more. Then another day was added and
the three days picnic has become noted
all over the state.
From time to time improvements have
been added, a pavilion, ball grounds,
grand stand, bleechers, water piped to
the grounds, until it is recognized as one
of the finest places for a picnic in the
state
A. R. Metz has been chosen as manager
this year, and is endeavoring to get at
fractions that will please Colfax will be
asked to take day. Let us all go and
help boost Colfax and the picnic at the
same time.

Fiendish Work of a Ghoul.

Some wretch, either Friday night or
early Saturday morning, fired shot
into the new court house clock, the
bullet entering the figure FIVE on the dial
on the west side. Fortunately it did not
penetrate the works and no damage was
done to the clock. Neither is the dial
seriously injured. The dials are six feet
in diameter, and a new one would cost
at least $125. Great Indignation was
expressed when the act of vandalism was
made known. People we're 10th to be-
lieve that we have ghonls among US
mean enough to engage in such business.
The commissioners may offer reward,
and if the culprit is ever caught God
pity him.

SELECTED A CLASSIC
TO PRESENT PUBLIC
High School Students in "The
Cricket on the Hearth
Ridqeway Theater Filled to Over
flowing Tuesday Evening" Cos
tuning and Stage Setting Very
Appropriate Over 5000 Clear.

The class OF 1910, Colfax High school.
had a house filed to overflowiDg last
Tuesday evening when they presented
their class play, "The Cricket on the
Hearth" at the New Ridgeway theater
The young people we're ambitious in
their selection Of this classic as a means
of demonstrating their histrionic talents,
and the really heavy work of the play
ability. Costuming and stage setting
were appropriate, and many OF the sit
uations were strongly suggestive OF the
illustrations in the works of Dickens.
The only bit OF real comedy in the
play is in the character OF Tillie Slowboy,
and this part was most cleverly banded
by Miss Hattie Bakala. The character
Of Dot, the heroine, was excellently in
terpreted by Mies Helen Troy. Miss
Hazel Walmer and Miss Eva Kuhn as
Mrs. Fielding and her daughter May pre-
sented their parts with ability, and Miss
Bessie Ferguson as Bertha, Caleb Plum
mer's blind daughter, acted the difficult
role to perfection.
The boys who were in the cast did we'll
in every instance. John Wilson as John
Perribingle, the carrier; Willie White as
the toy maker, Frank Newman az Caleb
Plummer, Harold Windus as Caleb's long
lost son, Roland Bainton as the porter,
and Winifred Codd and Harley Sain as
Dots mother and father, all sustained
their parts with credit to themselves and
their instructors.
That the production was also a tinan
cial success is proven by the statement
that the gross receipts amounted to
about $34O, leaving the snug sum OF
about $240 after paying expenses In
former years the major portion OF the
proceeds from High school entertain
ments has gone to the athletic fund,
which will no doubt be the case in this
instance. for the particular reason that
the school board agreed to duplicate for
the fund any amount raised By the stu
dents,

Emmor Cope, father of Mrs. Sam

he being on his way to visit here. Mr..
and Mrs. Strickler left for Seattle Tues
day morning upon being notified by tele-
graph of the sad event. Mr.. COpe's
home was in Pennsylvania, where the
remains will probably be taken, although
they may be brought here. Mr.. Cope
was 50 years Of age, and had been here
on previous occasions to see his daughter

CoIfax Will Celebrate.

The Colfax Commercial Club held a
meeting Friday afternoon and placed
itself on record as favoring the ceebra-
tion of the Fourth of July in CoIfax this
