BUSINESS MEMS CLUB
Organized With Grand Banquet
Union City on the Map.

The Business Men s Club was launched
in Union City last Thursday night under
the most favorable auspices. A list OF
the banqueters was published in the
paper last week, and the meeting was
held at Dahnke's Cafe. They were IA
strong and every one Of them present.
The crowd was seated about s O'Clock,
and following a prayer by Rev. ZwingIe
and toast from the toastmaster Of the
occasion, w H, Gardner, the banquet
proper proceeded. Every inch Of space
in the cafe was filed
Il was dollar-a-plate dinner. and the
menu in full was as follows:
oyster Cocktail,
Roast Mallard Duck stuffed with Dressing,
Country Ham Celery.
Dilled Pickles
English Peas. Mashed Potatoes. Sweet Potatoes.
Spring Radishes
Wheat Bread. Rye Bread.
American Cheese
Neapolitan Cream Assorted Cakes
Fruit
Moca Java Coffee Herman cortez Cigars.
The banquet was prepared and served
in perfect order, notwithstanding the
size Of the crowd, and the cuisine was
equal to all the demands of such an oc-
occasion. Long before the banqueters
had half finished good humor grew in
fictitious and harmony was the watch
word. Several vely imposing notices
had been hung. They read as follows
Success Comes in Cans; Failures in
Can is. I" Get Behind the Gun and
Fire When Called Upon" Altogether,

ed every anticipation. When Mr., Car
ter started out land, by the way, it was
this gentleman who suggested the idea,
and followed out his suggestion with the
organization) he was encouraged, but
sought to make certain Of success by
soliciting at five dollars a plate. The
list began to grow, and then the hotels
and RESTAURANTS were asked to submit
menu with the result that Dahnke's
Cafe was selected. 1t was soon found
that enough had signed to make pos
sible dollar-a-plate dinner, and on this
basis Dahnke's menu was selected. The
crowd kept growing until finally there
was no room in the Cafe for more peo-
pie. One hundred and forty-four dinners
we're served and applications for extra
plates could not be accepted.
1t was incomparably and far and
above any gathering Of the representa-
i've citizens of Union City ever held in
he city. 1t was complete, unquali-
led success. 1t was a surprise to the
most sanguine optimist.
The organization includes the follow
ng members;

S. D. Woosley.

A Woman,s Sacrifice.

Three years ago a startling tale came to light concerning q prominent busi- ness man in Austria He found him. self on the brink of ruin. and his wife came to his rescue at the cost of her own life. Leaving an overloaded room one night. she walked up and down a stone Jagged passage, barefoot and with nothing on but nightdress. till she caught chill which she aggravat- ed by a series of reckless acts h. hammation of the lungs set in, and she died shortly afterward Her husband obtained the large sum of money for which her life was insured. and with this he was able to pull through the crisis successfully. He married for a second time within three months of his first wifes death. This husband did not get off scot free, however. A serv- ant in his employ had overheard the conversation in which the heroic young wife had told her husband her intention to die for his sake. The serv- ant informed the police. Then the in- surance companies contended it was a case of suicide and sued successfully for the return of the money. The hus- band was prosecuted for being an &C., cessory to his wife's death and re- ceived the punishment he well merited.
