MISS DORIS WILLIAMS
VISITING MISS MARY LYLE

Miss DorrisWllliams, of Philadelphia,
Pa, has been visiting Miss Mary Lyle
on East Watauga avenue for several
days and will remain in the city for
some time. Miss Williams is soloist
in st. Luke's Methodist Episcopal
church in Philadelphia and possesses a
rare sympathetic soprano voice. On
Sunday morning last the congregation
of the Methodist church of this city
enjoyed her excellent rendition of Ran
degger's "Save Me, 0 God,n and on
Monday evening small circle of
music-lovers were charmed by her
singing in an informal program, in
which she was assisted by the Chopin
Male Quartette at the home of Mrs
John f. Lyle. Miss Williams has just
been the recipient of a delightful little
melody, "The Fairy" written for her
by local composer.

MRS. WILEY ENDORSED
WITH ENTHUSIASM

The regular annual meeting of the
board of directors of the Holston Or
phanage was held at Greeneville,
Tenn, July 6, 1911. Every member
but one was present, and that one was
Ijustifiably detained. Without a dis
senting voice, and with enthusiasm,
Mrs. Wiley was reelected manager,
A committee was appointed to aid her
in securing an assistant.
A full board desires to ratify the
statement given out some time ago by
the executive committee completely
generating Mrs. Wiley from the Ii
belous accusations against her. The
talk of acknowledgement of funds"
was without the essence of truth. In
stead of mismanaging, she has a nota-
BILE record of economy and efficiency.
1t is astonishing that so much has been
wrought with so little. The origin of
the SANDER was vicious, Those who
have carelessly passed the cruel ru-
msrS on Will have their days. If the
guilty culprits can be located, they
should feel the iron hand of the law
enough to make them sorry the bal
ance of their days. The board has not
words enough to express its condem-
nation of, and indignation at, this
SANDER of noble and self-sacri Gcing
woman.
The charge that Mrs. Wiley had in
humanity punished one of her incor.
rigible wards has been disproven in q
court of justice. The jury's verdict OF
acquittal was the peoples verdict OF
acquittal, made as soon as the charge
became public. kilograms. letters,
offers of help, and other expressions of
confidence and loving sympathy, lit
orally poured in upon Mrs. Wiley
from all parts of the country. That
she is now more highly entrenched in
their esteem than ever is evident. AS
never before the people of the Hoston
hills should rally to her help, and see
that the orphanage goes on to the larg-
est possible usefulness.

COULD NOT HIT
BOWBELLS BALLS
Kenmare is Unable to Make a
Single Safe Hit in Game
Wednesday Evening

Too much ''Russell". Ken
mare unable to hit the Bowbells
pitcher.
The above tells the story of
the game played Wednesday
evening at the local park. Des-
pite the /; threatening weather a
good sized crowd turned out to
witness the contest. Kenmare
played a good defensive game,
but they. could not hit the ball.
This seems to be the experience
of all teams that have gone up
against the local pitcher. The
game lasted seven innings, 22
Kenmare men faced Russell, six
struck out, and not one got a hit.
The only Kenmare man to reach
first base got there on a base on
balls, and died on third. While
the Kenmare men were making
futile efforts to hit the ball safely,
Bowbells secured by punching
their hits in the second inning
four runs. The playing of the
local team both on the offensive
and defensive was good.
In the first inning Moon of
Kenmare was out on a fly ball to
center field; Magne got a base on
balls; Lowe out on a foul to third;
Trazenski struck out.
FrebeF Of Bowbells grounded
out to pitcher; Pauly grounded
out to second base; Hub to pit
cher.
Second inning: First three
men up for Kenmare struck out.
In the same inning the fireworks
started when Bowbell came to
bat. Rice, the first man up, got
a two-base hit; Siverling struck
out, Russell made a home run,
Kroman a safe hit, Monett was
given his base on balls, Rogers
made a two base hit, Frebel out
on buat: and Paully struck out:
Result four scores.
After this inning, Kenmare
changed pitchers and while Bow.
bells mad four men left on bases
in succeeding innings no more

MEETING Of.
COOP CO.
Farmers Cooperative Grain
and Trading Company
Hold Meeting Saturday

The meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the Farmers Co-Opera-
tive Grain and Trading Co. took
place as advertised at the Lyons
opera house on Saturday after
moan. About 20 members Of the
company were present. The
meeting was called to order by
President K. C. Knutson of
North Star township, and he
explained to those present that
the meeting had been called by
a mistake on the part of some
one. The bylaws adopted by the
company last summer had been
in the possession of former Sec
retary Fred Park, and had been
lost, consequently the present
officers were unable to ascertain
the date of the annual meeting
and called it for Saturday, think
ing it was the right date. Tobey
Berg, who helped draft the by
laws remembered that the annual
meeting should be held on the
second Saturday in July, and it
was decided to hold such a
meeting on that date. Sec
retary Emerson was instructed
to give the required notice to all
stockholders informing them of
the new date of meeting.
AS the old bylaws had been
lost and there was little hope of
recovering them a motion was
made and carried that a COM
mittee of three be appointed-by
the president for the purpose of
drafting a new set to be SUBJ
mitted to the stockholders for
approval at the next meeting.
President Knutson appointed J.
E. Emerson, Tobey Berg and R.
E. Knowlton. ,%
After discussing various sub
jects to the interest of the farm
ers among which was a short
speech by Tobey Berg on reci-
procity, the meeting adjourned
until July 9th.

OFFICERS.
ARR. ELECTED
Commercial Club Elect Off.
GERS tor Ensuing Year.
Other Business

The meeting of the CONNER
cial Club at the Office of the Sc
curity Abstract Co., which was
advertised to be held on Tuesday
evening of last week. was post
poned until the following Thurs
day evening at the same place.
About 20 members were present.
The meeting was called to order
by President Phelps after which
the committee on bylaws made
their report and submitted be-
fore the meeting the set that
they had drafted. The bylaws
on motion were accepted without
change. So.
President Phelps then on
motion appointed Jerry Dono-
van, B. A. Stefonowicz and 0.
J. Larson to nominate seven
members to be voted on as d.
rectors of the club. The follow
ing names were brought in:
Geo. H. Phelps. Jerry Donovan,
Chas. A. Verrett, E.. c.. Kruger,
wv. L. Doe, B. M Wohlwend,
,Sand C. J. Campbell. On motion
the secretary was instructed to
cast a ballot for the club unanim-
ously for these officers, and they
were declared elected for the
ensuing year.
A committee. was appointed to
investigate the complaints made
against the local telephone sys-
tenn. It appears that there has
been more or less dissatisfaction
with the service in Bowbells,
and the committee is to see
whether or not it could be i'm
proved.
H. L. Richardson, secretary of
the Bowbells Racing Association,
was present, and reported that
he had been in correspondence
with the Commercial Club Of
Minot, and that about 40 auto
mobile loads of Magic City
business men would be here the
second day of the races. He
asked that arrangements be
made for their entertainment
while here. Nothing was done
in regard to this at the meeting
except that Mr.. Richardson was
instructed to ascertain at what
hour the Minot people are ex-
pected to arrive, and as soon as
that was done arrangements
would be made as proposed.
The meeting then adjourned,
subject to the call of the presi-
dent.
