Neigh, Neb., Oct. 15.-Special to
The News; Mr.. and Mrs. o. A. Will
liams entertained by giving a musicale
at their home in this city Tuesday
evening. About eighty invited guests
were present. 1t was one of the most
pleasing and entertaining gatherings
of musicloving people that has as
sembled in one home in Neigh for
some time past. The vocal duet by
Miss Carnes and Miss Rae Williams,
when they rendered THE Tuscan Folk
Songs" was considered the leading

cores. Piano solo by Miss Leona

THE Man OF the Hour" Monday Night.


one of the best plays Norfolk saw
last year was William A. Bradys pro-
ductiOn of "The Man of the Hour"
1t Is one of the strongest American
plays ever written, dealing with the
graft in municipal government in the
average American city. Through it
runs compelling love story.
On Monday night this great play re-
turns to the Norfolk Auditorium. OF
1t Amy Leslie, the famous critic on the
Chicago Daily News wrote
Every woman will love this play
She will love every character in 1t,
even to the men who are not as good
as some of the others, and she will
love every word they sepak. And
why? Because the men in the play
talk like the husbands, brothers, ia
theirs, sons and sweethearts of real
life; because the women in the play
are like the women we like to have
around us at home; because what they
all say, the men and women of The
Man of the Hour is the speech of
human beings. and sounds like what
we hear every day at home and in the
street. In short, The Man of the
Hour is bound to succeed wherever
it is acted in the United States, be.
cause it shows American men and
women of all classes as they really
are"
"The Man of the Hour" will again
hold the boards at the Auditorium
Monday night. 1t will be acted by a
special company which comprises
Harry English, John Moore, Warren
Conlan, John Morris, Edward Keane
Clyde F. McCabe, Franklin George
Frank Hendricks, e. H. Felt, George
A. Cameron and Myrtle Cosgrove
Florence Mack, Virginia Irwin.
The play is a comedy by George
Broadhurst, author of What Happen
ed to Jones'" and why Smith Left
Home" 1t deals with modern city af
fairs, but depending for it's interest
more upon the human qualities of its
incidents, the fidelity of it's character
ization and the all-absorbing nature OF
a novel story. The play ran for two
solid years at the Savoy theater in
New York; this was followed by a
period of sixteen weeks in Chicago
and that, in turn, by five months al
the fremont theater, Boston.

PLENTY OF TURKEYS,
Meat Men Say They Think Prices
Won't Be So Hiuh This Year,


The turkey was a high priced fowl
last year, but it is believed by pro-
duce dealers here that this year the
bird will give up his life for less
money when Thanksgiving comes on
November "a.
Giving his reason for this, a local
market man says;
Il believe the turkeys will be very
plentiful this year, owing to the fact
that there have been so many chick
ems this spring. The weather was
very favorable, and usually when the
chickens are plentiful the turkey is
equally so. That makes the price
loweG The turkey likes the warm,
dry weather, The moist weather does
not agree with him."
Although the time has nearly ar
rived for the meat markets to pur-
chase turkeys, they have not yet done
so, making it impossible to quote the
retail prices. They have, however,
been abundantly supplied with chick
ems, which they report are in the best
of condition.
Cranberries will also be plentiful,
while the supply of squash and sweet
pumpkins for pies, is very large.

TAKES VOTERS into HIS CON.
FIDENCE In 4 LETTER.
Candidate for Commissioner Stands
on Square Deal Platform. Believes
In an Economical Administration
OF County Affairs, and Will Insist
on Cruising Timber Lands.

Robert A. Wiley, of Aberdeen, can
ddate for nomination of County Com
missioner, has addressed the following
letter to the voters, giving his views
on county business, and outlining his
position in the event of his election:
Dear Sir:
| am candidate for County Com
missioner in the Second District, sub
ject to the approval of the Republi-
can voters at the primary election,
to be held September 10, and take the
liberty of addressing you to ask for
your support and cooperation.
At the present time the household
er and the small land owner are car
rying the burden of an unequal and
unjust taxation in Chehalis county,
and so long as the present one-sid-
ed system of assessments is to:erat-
ed, this situation will continue.
AS taxpayer desiring a square
deal, l advocate the cruising of all
timber lands, and an examination of
all other lands in the county, in Or
der to assess them equally as regards
their location and value. This work
should be commenced at once by COM
petent and reliable cruisers, in order
to secure a proper levy on the timber
ed lands before it's vast wealth has
gone to enrich it's accidental owners
without having paid it's just proper
ton toward the government and de-
velopment of the county.
| am assured by Mr.. Geo. L. Davis,
commissioner of the third district,
that he will aid me in this matter,
and, in that event, | assure you no
grand jury will have occasion, dur
ing my term of office, to repudiate
a reduction of taxes for favored
corporation.
l believe in economy in the con-
duct of county affairs, and will en-
deavor to hold the expenses down to
the minimum compatible with the de-
velopment of the vast agricultural re-
sources of the county, and the build
ing of roads necessary for such de-
velt pment.
I am in this campaign to win. and.
if you believe in the measures above
set forth, I ask not only your vote,
b, for your hearty cooperation.
Yours very truly,
r. A. WILEY.

HON. BEN SHEEkS
JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT
AND CANDIDATE FOR RE.
ELECTION

If there is a shadow of reason
why Judge Ben Shecks should not be
reelected to the superior bench, the
Herald would like to hear it, Two
years ago Mr.. Sheeks was the choice
of the Chehalis County Bar Associa-
ton for this position, and was de-
feated by small margin after a
strenuous contest. When the county
was allowed the second superior court
about a year ago, he was appointed,
by Governor Hay, upon the recon-
mendation of the lawyers of Che
halls county without opposition.
Since that appointment he has fill
ed that Office with honor to himself
and credit to the county. His edu-
cational qualifications, legal and 9TH
erwise, are of the best. He is hon
est, upright and impartial. He is not
a politician. He has not asked, and
will not ask anyone to vote for him.
He believes the judiciary should be
as far removed from political strife as
possible. and that the dignity of the
bench is lowered by candidate for
the gown soliciting support. But the
public is interested in retaining upon
the bench the best talent available
To change judges now after the years
record of Judge Sheeks-no matter
how capable his competitor, or how
badly he needs the pOsition-would
scarcely be fair to him or creditable
to the county.
1t has heretofore been customary
in this county, as well as in other
places, where an officer has perform
ed the duties of his office satisfactOr-
lily. to endorse him for another term.
There can be no good reason why
Judge Sheeks should not be elected.
Practically the entire bar Of Chehalis
county endorses his candidacy. The
lawyers are in an excellent position
to judge of his ability. That they
unite on his candidacy is tribute to
his impartially. That they unite on
his candidacy is tribute to his i'm
partiality That his reputation eX-
tends beyond this county is attested
by the fact that since his appointment
to the bench, he has frequently been
ties. In the larger counties bordering
on the Sound, where he is well known
he is held in high esteem, and is
reputed one of the most thoroughly
grounded lawyers in the state. He
has the temperament of the ideal
Judge. His life has been devoted to
a study of the law. He has had a
long and successful professional ca
reer, and has been engaged in some
of the most important litigation in
state and federal courts in this state
and others.

Much Time

Taking the principle Of the pres

refuse carrier of the sawmill with it,
w. c. Pascoe, who for many years
has been a resident of Aberdeen, has
completed a combination street clean
ing machine and refuse carrier which
he claims will not only accomplish
better results than that now done by
hand but will handle the work at far
less expense.
Mr.. Pascoe, himself, built a rough
demonstration machine which was
yesterday tried on the streets and
worked eXcellently. The inventor will
not only present this first machine
to the city but has waived all royalty
rights so far as Aberdeen is concern
ed.
The machine is fully covered by
patents and it is the intention of Mr.
Pascoe to soon seek the installation
of his sweeper in other cities but will
keep the industry at home by having
all of them manufactured in Aber.
