received seventeen pairs of
beautiful silk hose. The only
thing that marred the evenings
pleasure was the fact, that only
six out of nineteen members
were able 20 be present, but as
they are sc altered to the four
corners of the earth, their gifts
had to take their place. After
the those" all had been duly ad.
mired, the gentlemen came and

quests from young women for a 10
of his hair. The divine, pleased ur
this expression Of respect, gladly COM
piled with the requests.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
Their Effect In the First rheaters In
Which They Were Used.

The first theater in the world to use
:ncandescent lamps was the Academy
of Music, on Halstead street, Chicago,
the plant being installed by the West
ern Edison Light company. The the
atcr was wired for $50 sixteen candle
power lamps. The lighting was conS
fined to the auditorium. No electric
lights We're used on the stage, as dim
mers had not been thought of at that
time. On the opening night, after the
new lights we.e installed, the actors
struck. claiming that it was impossible
to make up by gaslight and play their
parts under the glare of the electric
lights. 1t was with difficulty that they
were persuaded to proceed with the
second act.
The first theater to he completely
lighted with incandescent lamps was
the old Havcriy theater, then located
on Monroe street, where the Inter
Ocean building now stands. This
plant consisted of two dynamos with
a capacity of 837 lamps. On the OPEN
ing night only sufficient lights were
started at first to enable the ushers to
seat the audience. When the curtain
rose every light was turned on, caus-
ing Il tremendous sensation among the
audience and eliciting applause that
continued for fifteen minutes. The in
novation was so successful that Nc
Vicker's thcatcr and the Chicago Opera
House Immediately installed similar
plants.-W. G. jenkins in National

Circulating Libraries.

Long before the Revolution Il young
printer in Philadelphia when he had
taken off his working apron at night
used to sit porting over his dozen of old
volumes by freight. He soon knew
them 10y heart and hungered for more.
But books We're costly, and he had but
little money He had eight or ten
cronies, young men who. like himself.
were eager for knowledge. Ranging
his books on shelf, he invited his
friends to do the same. that each Of
them might have the benefit Of them
all. Ben Franklin thus laid the foun-
dation of the first circulating library IN
this country.

THE TOWN OF
CALHOUN FLOURISHED
Har: :ison Mech, Who Lived
There IS Years Ago Visits
Onawa

The Democrat had an enjoy
able visit on Friday from Har-
rison D. Mech, of Harrison
Cour ty, Mr.. and Mrs. Mech
came up to help his sister, Mrs.
Robert Fairchild, celebrate her
golden wedding. His father
was one of the pioneers of Har-
rison county settling in CAL
houn in 1926 or 3. Mr.. Mech
was then a young man and has
ia vivid recollection of those
long ago pioneer days.
Calhoun was then the most
promising town between Coun-
Gil Bluffs and Sioux City. Its
location, IS the old settlers
know was ideal-it was plated
on a fairly level tract of land
100 feet above the level of the
Missouri bottom. When Cal
houn was at her best she con-
tanned three stores, a saw mill,
hotel, blacksmith shop, saloon
and for a time a newspaper.
1t prospered until the Chicago
& Northwestern railroad was
built and Missouri Valley was
put on the map. When Mr..
Mech came to that locality
there were no settlers on the
bottom, Modale, Mondamin,
Little Sioux or Onawa were not
inexistence.
Two miles north of Little
Sioux, a Frenchman who had
two squaw wives kept a hotel,
in the early fifties one of his
wives was killed by the Sioux
indians.
In the latter fifties emmigra-
tion to the valley came rapidly
and the work Of converting
this great valley into an agri-
cultural region began in earn
est. Mr.. Mech calls the trans
formation wonderful and has a
vision of what shall yet come,
but to tell it now would be as
idle as for the pioneers of IS
years ago to have foretold the
civilization of today. The
story will be told by his great
grandchildren. Onawa Demo-
crat.
