Massachusetts colds its primary
election today. If Roosevelt
carries the state. Taft's chances

traditional pig under the gate.

the residence of Mrs. Chauncev
GriswOld tomorrow afternoon. A
muscial program will be rendered.
A cordial invitation to attend is

Bill and Ted are telling how
much they love eacn other. The
spectacle of the president of the
United States and an ex.president
washing their exceedingly din ty
linen in public is enough to disgust
ordinary people with both Of them.

plant because the primary ballots
in New FORK. where he was de.
fca'ed. were longer than a rope,
but in Illinois. where they resem-
bled a roll of wall paper and he
came out ahead, he has no objec-
ton to offer. St Louis Republic.

Quoted Yesterday at one O'Clock the

closest attention to the message.
The election of officers on Sunday

follows: Pres, Rev. Wilbert r.
Howell; Vice Pres. W. G. Great
house; Sec, Miss Mae Gardner;

Last evening Officer Cotant was
LOtiied that there were some
drunken Indians and a white man
causing trouble in Chinatown. He
and Jailer McMullen went to in
Nestigate and when the white mar
saw them he started TO run,
Cotant took after him and fired
several shots to scare him hut they
only made him run faster. He
was finally caught by the stage
barn, crouched under a wagon.
He was taken to Jail and locked
up, and this forenoon he was
turned loose by Judge Klattc. We
would like to give the young man
the benefit of our circulation, but
was unable to learn his name. All
We could learn about him was that
he was a cowboy from the Sparks
Harrell ranch. A white man who
associates with drunken Indians
deserves no favors from the press.

and polish were cut out of the high
school course in this state and
more Of the practical nut in the
boys and girls would be greatly
benefited. Lyon county has pointed
the way.
