Brick for the big city we'll was
unloaded last week and sand and
other material is being placed on
the ground as rapidly as poss-
ible and the water and light
plant will be installed as rapidly
as laborers can do the work,
The plant is to be completed by
the first of March, 1912. With
a model light and water system
Englewood will rank with any
town of its size on the Englewood
branch of the Santa Fe. With
the lights it will give much
more city appearance, while the
water will give the proper pro-
lection from fire and at the same
time make it much more con-
venient for families and offer an
inducement for the coming of
more people. -Englewood Lead

Give Up Secret sonlstls..

Secret societies have been abolished
at Mount Holyoke college by com
bined vote of the society members
and the faculty. These secret socie
ties had been in existence In Mount
Holyoke for more than twenty-five
years. The dramatic club of the col
lege has bought the American rights
of the pastoral play, Fair Rosa
mond," with set of costumes and
properties for production. This play
was first given by Lady Archibald
Campbell's pastoral players at the
Cannizaro Woods, Wimbledon com.
mon, England. The American rights
were later bought by Mrs. John v.
Pruyn of Albany, who allowed the
play to be given only when the pro.
ceeds were for some hospital work.
After Mrs. Pruyn's death 1t was de-
cided to sell the American rights and
stage properties to some college or
ganization rather than to a profes-
sional company. This play will prob
ably be presented at the May day
celebration.

Western Kansas District
Poultry Show

The date of the Western Kan
sas District Show has been
changed from December 40 to
January S-l3, 1872. This show
will be held at Dodge City, Kan
sas this year. This Association
was for med along about the first
of the year and embraces all the
country west of Newton, Kansas
to the State line.
The object is to gather all the
best poultry from the different
local shows for final test of su-
periority.
The best judges have been Sc
cured. The entry fees are low,
and very liberal premiums are
offered. Silver cups will also be
given, and the finest ribbons pro-
durable; in fact everything is be-
ing done TO make the show at
tractlve and worth while to at
tend.
District shows are rather an
innovation. Missouri now has
four District shows and Kansas
is coming in line on the idea. It
is systemizing the show business
and will be of great benefitto the
Poultry industry.
Western Kansas is rapidly
coming to the front in fancy
poultry breeding. Local breed
efs cannot supply the demand.
1t is therefore new field for
eastern breeders of which they
should take advantage.
The Dodge City show will be
strictly a District show, and
breeders everywhere should take
advantage of the opportunity to
send specimens.
Further information can be
obtained by addressing F. A.
Etrick, DistrictSecretary, Dodge
City, Kansas. Catalog will be
ready for distribution about
December /.

annually. More than 100000 men are

MuSCATINE, Iowa, April 2O.-Tak.
Ing offense, as alleged, at a remark
credited to some of the button manu-
Iacturers here to the effect that no
noh-union workmen, who had stood by
them during the strike, need fear be-
ing dismissed on account OF the set
tiement OF the strike, the union work
men, after a lively meeting last night,
decided not to return to work today,
in spite of the agreement to do SO,
arrived at in yesterday conference.
This action was expected, as it
was forecasted during the day by
union leaders, who considered the
above remark unnecessary and evi-
dence that the manufacturers were
not sincere in their professions of I'M
hostility to the union. President Ur-
ick, OF the Iowa State Declaration of
Labor, addressed the meeting last
night, and, while advising the course
adopted, cautioned the men to act con-
servatively and within the law
The state authorities have been
appraised of the situation, and it is
understood orders will be issued TO
the troops to be prepared for another
call if necessary. 1t is stated that
on the first intimation of rioting the
troops will be hurried to Muscatine.
So far the strikers are disposed to
remain quiet, and there ,s belief that
the renewed strike will be blood
less one. The hope is that on the
arrival of Commissioner Van Duyn,
who has been notified of the change
of situation, and is coming to again
straighten out the trouble which he
was supposed to have settled, the diff
ferences will quickly be adjusted
