Was a Jolly Party

On Tuesday evening some of the
young people from the schools had
possession of Progress Hall and
used $50 pennants from schools all
over the states in the decorations.
White and gold were everywhere,
and pretty booth was arranged un-
der the orchestra platform, where
punch with a cherry and tooth
pick were served to the thirsty.
There was no nip" in it, nor any
thing approaching a nip, and the
jolly party was conducted through
out in the most approved fashion.

James Whitconb
Riley Is Coming
THE HOOSIER POET WILL BE I'M
PERSONATED BY JUDGE J. d.
FLENNER NEXT THURSDAY
EVENING AT BLACKFOOT.
Riley was Great, But F1enner Out.
Rileys Riley

A Boise man who has charmed
audiences all over the country with
his rare interpretations of the works
of James Whitcomb Riley will be
here next Thursday, and will present
some of those matchless old pieces
that make an audience laugh and cry
by turns and sometimes both at once.
Those who have not met Judge Flen-
ner do not know yet what real
"joly' man can be, and they have
a. surprise coming as we'll as a treat
He goes everywhere picking up the
finest gems of literature, and she'd
ding sunshine wherever he goes. 1t
Is impossible to meet him and pass
any remarks at all without being
compelley to laugh little.
When the Idaho editors went in a
special car to do the Louisiana-Pur-
chase. Exposition in 1904, Judge Elem
ner was among them, and made mer-
ry all the way there and back. On
one occasion when he found some
thing with which to treat all the
people in the car, and one or two
of the fellows wanted to share the
expense, he resisted payment" and
said; mo, no, this IS my treat. I
want to do this all myself. There
is nothing mean about me. If |
look mean it is due to the clothes J.
wear"
During Press Week" at the Expo
sition there was an Idaho Day for
Idahoans at the Idaho building, and
Governor and Mrs. Morrison, Con-
gressman Burton L. French and
others who were present gave ad-
dresses. Judge Flenner responded
with some of his Riley recitals, and
the next morning the Globe Democrat
gave Judge Flenner nice tribute,
saying that he moved his audience
alternately to laughter and tears, and
commented generously upon the lit
erary treat he gave.
Some Blackfoot people who were
in Portland Idaho Day of the Lewis
& Clarke Exposition year later have
remarked that Judge Flenner was
on the program, and became the
whole thing by reason of the keen
appreciation shown by the audience.
He has entertained senators and
ambassadors at Washington, d. c.,
as pleasingly as he has his Idaho
audiences, and when the Boise Com
mercial club entertained the Idaho
editors last summer Flenner was
called into service, and the next
morning Judge F. s. Dietrich wrote
him note, saying;
Permit me to thank you for the
very great pleasure of listening to
your Riley selections at the Press
Club meeting last night. Rarely
have I heard public readings that so
fully satisfied me. l am sure | shall
be delighted If the opportunity ever
comes again to hear you more at
length"

THE NEED OF BOOZE HERE

Last Saturday several of the old
boys who have been in the habit of
taking a few nips when they come to
town, found it dryer than usual, and
being unable to invest in wet goods,
they spent a little money for dry
goods and went home debating whe-
ther the town was going to the dogs
or not.
The question is still under advise
ment and will be considered further
tomorrow.

Interest in municipal affairs is be-
ginning to warm up a little and it is
said that new candidates for the coun-
Gil will be put up in each ward. For
time it appeared as il the annual
city election might be permitted to go
by default. The only object of the vot-
ers should be to secure competent.
progressive men to fill these Offices
men who will not work so hard to
keep taxes down as to see that the
people get value received for what
they do pay. So long as a city council
pursues this course, no good and valid
criticism can be urged against it's ad-
Dallas is not big enough

lem, Aged II Years.

| AT the family home on Center street

and will be greatly missed by all who
knew her.
The funeral will be held Friday
morning from the home, conducted by
the Reverend j. w. Jenkins, of the
Christian church. Interment will be

After having left a vacancy in the
city council since late last summer
with apparently no desire to fill it and
thus give the Third Ward the repre-
sentation to which it was entitled. the
board proceeded to fill the place Mon
day night, Notwithstanding the fact
that city election is near and the new
councilman will serve only about six
weeks, unless the voters should re-
elect him, or fail to elect another man
in his place. Why this action after such
long delay? is the question the
Third Ward voters are naturally ask
ing. Did the council suddenly become
conscience-stricken, or was it consid-
ering the possible effect its long delay
might have on the voters on election
day?
