Miss Margaret Begley and Clare
Clark were married on Monday,

with the crowd on the special that
night and went on to lola where they
were married the next day. The bride

STATEMENT Of SALVATION ARMY

Ensign Q. f. Robinson In charge OF
the Chanute corps of the Salvation
Army has issued printed statement
under date Of December l, showing
some of the work done in the city by
the Army this year. From total iu-
come of 1906 65 there has been paid
out in cash $l27. l3 under the head of
Winter Relief. The distribution of
garments amounted to 769, Christmas
dinners given we. 234, aud .7S FAM
lilies were given other relief. The
record further shows that 35 sick REQ.
pie were helped and that 1040 hours
were spent Ia visiting by members of
the corps.
In issuing the statement Ensign

Army to do all that is within their
power to relieve the condition of the
poor in Chanute and that their ability
to meet the increased need depends
upon the assistance:of friends of the
poor. He solicits the practical SYM
pathy of the citizens of Chanute and
promises the best judgment of the
Army members in the distribution of |
any donations which may be made for

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE is EXCELLENT

The feasibility Of using a Victor
talking machlOe for the purpose Of
incucating the appreciation OF good
RsuSlc by the students was sugges-
tion made to the school board by
Supt. Hughes MondSy evening. The
matter WAS pr secuted by request Of
Miss Woo1son, The music supervisor
who would like IT, see such machine
gwen trial. Prof. Hughes also
spoke of the advisa6illty OF med dical
inspection of the schools, especially
as rega rds the eye and ear test for
students. 10 presenting his report
for the second m0ath of school Supt,
Hughes said the 1856 percent of
attendance of the enrolment was SO
good that any higher figure might
indicate that children were being
kept ia school who were not physically
able to be there. FINDER the present
attendance stimulation the emula-
tion in that regard is all that could
be desired. The percentage OF atten-
dance last year at this time was 81 62.
The total enrollmeN now is 2047 as
against 20l3 at thts time last yeaC-
A more accurate idea of present con-
ditions is secured by considering the
present enrollmeat of 1888 with 81 on
the temporarily withdrawn list ia
comparison with an enrolment of
1917 in the report for 1910
Ten cases of corporal punishment
were reported for the month as COM
pared with "a in the same period last
year.

UNION HELD PROFITABLE MEETING

At least a hundred men bers Of the
societies Of the Young Peoples Chris
tian union besides others n0tmembers
met in the Methodist church Mondag
evening and held an interesting aud
profitable meeting. The banner fQt
the highest percentage OF member
ship in attendance at the meeting
went to the Christian church society
which had II per cent Of its enroll
ment present. The very fact that &c
has comparatively small member
ship perhaps gave it some advantage
but It is expected that some OF tia
other societies will press it more
closely when the next meeting is held.
The Baptist Young Peoples Union wal
second with 81 per cent of its MEM
bership present. In the absence from1

When Oscar F. Schmidt went in.
to his grocery store at 6oI S. Santa
Fri. night to light the lamps he was
surprised to hear the sound of saw
ing boards. Investigation showed
hole in the floor almost large

small boys who were at work under
Reath the floor with saw and
Ratchet. They attempted to escape
but ran into Mc. Schmidt who had
hurried out of doors. He commun.
icated with Chief Swar who de
tailed Patrolman Godfrey to bring
in the boys. They are froa II to
n years in age. They were dis.
missed by Chief Swartz upon the

DYNAMITeHS CONFESSED CRIME

The tragedy of the explosion and
tire on October list, 1870 which
wrecked the plant of the Tines news
paper in Los Angeles, California and
caused the death Of twenty one
persons&Ps cleared up by the con-
fession of James B. Mcnamara late
Friday afternoOn. He entered a
plee of guilty to mUCder In the first
degree. The trial which has been
going on some time had attracted
great attention because of the enorm-
ity of the crime and the vigor with
which the case was being fought.
MeNGmara's counsel states simply
that the confession was Rade because
sbis client was guilty. McNamara's
brother entered plea of guilty to
having blown up the Llewellyn Iron
Works ia Los Angeles December Is.

for December and it is expected
that their lives will be spared,

BIG Brothers Will
Have Much York
Doctor Edwards Urges Acti-
vity in Securing Funds for
Children's Christmas.

"The proposition has been taken
up so enthusiastically by many
people that I couldn't back out of
it now If L wanted to-" said DR.. +.
R. Edwards Monday evening in re-
ferring to the reception given his
suggestion that the men of Chanute
constitute themselves Big Brothers
to provide a Christmas treat for the
poor children of the city.
"The movement must of course
be entirely non denominational but
I shall expect the cooperation OF
the pastors to determine through
their various organizations the
homes where there will be no Ceal
Christmas. We shall need to know
promptly how many children there
are to whom we shall try to be Big
Brothers. We ought to get both
names and money right away so
that we can begin at oace to plan
for the distribution of candy and
toys on Christians eve. 1T will be
a big job"
"The ladies can help with the
work" continued Doctor Edwards,
"by handing contributions to the
committee in addition to securing
the necessary Information about the
children. In fact Mrs. w. L..
Morehart has already volunteered
her services. The other members
of the committee viii be H. w.
10y, Herbert Cawane6s and Eruce
uGrigsby. Any one wishing to belp
can hand thelr money'to any one OF
us on the committee. The contri-
buttons will be entireiy voluntary
and there win be no solicitation
work. l figure that between $500
and 5000 will be secured. The
children at the orphans home will
be looked after and all others who
would otherwise be without aay
christmas cheer"

Professor Haworth
Stands by Report
Explains That Chanute Gas
District is Bounded by
County Line.

Prof. f. Haworth of Lawrence
state geologist, stands pat concern
ing his statements in regard to the
gas supply in the Mid-Continent
field as given in his recent report to
the public utilities commission of
Kansas City, Mo. His opinion at
this time is stated in a letter written
to the commission to be used as
supplemental statement to the Kan
sas City council in answer to doubts
expressed by some of the aldermen
resulting fiom the letters from the
gas fields.
In his letter Professor Haworth
explains that any objection to his
his statement concerning the Cha
mute field is on the mistaken basis
of considering the gas piped into
Chanute from the west. He calls
attention to the fact that in his re-
port the Chanute pool as described
is limited on the west by the county
line between Neosho and Wilson
counties. Professor Haworth fur
ther states that his report showed
that he believed considerable
amount of gas may still be had from
the Villas pool for northern consum-
ers which makes, he says, any OBJ
jections from Chanute coincide with
his views, Professor Haworth con-
cludes his letter by acknowledging
the dedniteness of the objection
made from Tulsa but maintains thai
the statement that good gas fields
exist two-thirds of the way north
from the south line of Kansas tc
Kansas City is too exaggerated tc
be seriously considered.

Water Meters Help
Receipts Of City
Income for November in Water
Fund Shows Very Dis
tinct Increase.

The receipts of the city of Cha.
mute for November 1917 were more
than $3.50 in excess of the amount
for the same period last year ac-
cording to the records of City
Cashier Roberts. The amount was
S7479. Sc as compared with the total
of $6SI3.05 for November 1910.
The big item of increase came from
the water fund as actually less war
received for the gas and electric
light funds than last year. The
increase was caused by the use of
water meters as the payment for
water on a flat rate was discontin-
ued October 1. The amount re-
ceived in the water fund during
November 1911 was SIS54.65 as
compared with S1212 IS in 1919.
The other amounts received By
the city during November were;
Gas fund, $4276.o6; electric light
S824.4o; cemetery, S2II, and -geA-
eral fund $I94. The months total
was some $4oo. in excess OF that OF
October when the receipts amounted
to S7o6I.o7.

shall he live again" His address
was a careful argument for immor-
tality in which analogles from
nature were considered and which
was rounded out with the authori-
tative witness of Jesus Christ. 1t
made very favorable impression
on all who heard 1t.
