President Nash is in receipt of a
letter from Miss Alwilda Thomas, 'O1,
of Grand Junction, Colorado. Miss
Thomas is planning for big reunion
of her class to be held next spring at
the time of commencement in con-
nection with the decennial celebration.
She sends for the names and addresses
of the members of her class. In the
course of her letter she says. Il am
quite enthusiastic over reunion OF
the class of '07 and if l get their ad-
dresses | shall write to each member
and try to work up a large attendance.
1t has been five years, or will be next
spring, since our graduation and |
think we should have reunion :
This has the right ring and graduates
who manifest this spirit are the ones
who make the N. N. l. S. count for
something in the world.

The TennesSeeanS
here on February !.

Wednesday evening of next
week the fifth number of the
popular lyceum course Of this
season will be given, the same
being the appearance at the
Armory opera house of that
popular musical aggregation, the
Tennesseeans.
Who does not fall victim to the
charm of those southern melo-
dies? And who is there that can
sing them as the dark skinned
children of the south? Almost
the only folklore melodies that
are American, are the negro
songs, the songs of the plan
tation, of the slave and slavery
days, their quaint rythms of
melody in the lullaby Of the faith
full nanny, the Groom of the old
darky, far from home. the song
of the cotton field and gin, or the
happier moods of the simply
social life, the weird fervor of
their revivals, the eccentric
moods of their carousaIs.
The aim of the Tennesseeans
is to present this life and this
treasury of folk song in is best
phases. They are a quartet of
rarely rich male voices, each
specially trained for this work,
each an artist in his line. Their
appearance here Wednesday
evening gives assurance of one
of the richest treats of the sea-
son, and crowded house ought
to greet them.

Darrow's "tightfistedness" with his
confidential employees during the
course Of the Mcnamara trial was re-
sponsihle for his present position, IN
ferring that they betrayed him because
OF his alleged lack Of liberality.
Browne said several of the McNa-

him for money because they could get
none from Darrow and that he had at
times given them money and. althoug n

A Surprise Party.

On last Monday afternoon there
was very unusually pleasant
surprise party at the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. II. W. Minish.
They were busily engaged in
packing their goods to move
in work up to their eyes, with
every thing in splendid confusion
when suddenly the w. c. T. L..

very full attendance Of them had
assembled at the home of Mrs.

ed to the house of Mr.. Minish.
Nor was their presence the only
enjoyable feature of the happy
occasion, for they had with them
a lunch of coffee, apples and cake

in Lennon make which were
deligh fully relished. Good as
this was they were not willing
that matters end here but present
ed Mrs. Minlsh with fine lin
men table cloth, a feeble memento
Of their appreci tion Of her valu-
able services.
But the better part is yet to be
told which was the sociability
and fellowship which seemed
universal. All felt that i was
good to be there. But matters
took an upward flight when they
gathered around Mrs. Minish,
seated at the organ. and sang
those two old, yet ever new and
fresh hymns. "Al| Hail the Power
Of Jesus Name and God be
with you till We meet again.
We now have had the good,

Saturday evening last week A.
E. Schaal was host to the EN-
ployes of the Palace hotel and
friends at dancing party at his
farm two miles west of town. 1t
goes without saving that the
event, engineered as it was by
the prince of entertainers, was
one Of pleasure unalloyed, and a
huge success.
Some eight rigs conveyed the
guests from town to the farm.

gagged in the merry waltz, Christ

ing ever ready to help the cause
along. And if there was any
lack of amusement for even a
second. Johnie Pew, the clown
of the event was there to fur
nish it.
Those not inclined to dancing
found pleasure in cards and other
social diversion. A rich treat
of viands was served, with G.. S.

garb of the chef, ca'ving the
turkey and experimenting the
service that lacked nothing in
those things rare and rich that
tickle the palate. Altogether,

his friends under heavy obli-
cation as the prince of entertain
ers, and those who were with
him Saturday evening are pro-
fuse in their praise of the treat
he gave them.

Poll Tax Helps Corporations

It is very probable that the abominable poll tax will soon be legislated out of the state. The poll tax is an imposition on a great many citizens and tor the most part is wholly unjust in it's operation. They claim that its abolition will make deficits in the school fund is without merit, for the schools cannot suffer be- cause provision can be made for taking necessary school money from the general fund.
 Under the new law public ser vice corporations pay the cost of the state government and es- cape city and county taxes Every dollar pald now as a poll tax only lessons the tax of the corporations, and places the bur- den on the poor map.-Stockton Independent.

candidat es are playing the same game. Necessarily at least barrel of money must be unloaded at each headquarters every morning or their would be bank ruptcy before night, and the American people would go short on "education" and the country editors waste baskets would look hungry. Of course none of these headquarters would use tainted money, and yet to the credit of the American people, it may de said that all the Presidential candidates, unless possibly Colonel Roosevelt may be ex- cepted, is far from rich. No one sup poses any of the candidates are person. ally footing the bills, and there isn't a word said directly as to the source of the piles of bullion that are going into the campaign, except by occasional in- ference. But few people concern them selves about the matter - why should anyone care? Yet, why shouldn't the country be interested, since the whole story is known to be in, the keeping of a handful of men, any one of whom could tell just who touches up" the railroads, the trusts, the. interests, the Carnegies, the Rockfellers, the Morg. ans. and the money trusts. The bare facts, if known; would help the voters to decide upon the worthiness of their candidates, and to judge of the prob ability. of connections made prior to nominations, that might influence the future. When the American people holler loud enough they always bring these things to the surface, and some political conditions are improved in consequence.

Stock Market

Kansas City Stock Yards, March 25, 1912. The few days of good weather last week did not do much in the way of increasing live stock receipts here. The small supply of cattle here last week moved at stronger prices than during the previous week, with she stuff, and stockers and feeder leading in the gains made. Those classes ad- vanced Is to 25 cents, and quarantine cattle also added 10 to 20 cents to val
 ues, but fed native steers made only slight gain. Chicago is getting about as many cattle this month as a year ago, and the volume of supplies there is sufficient to prevent any sharp gaines at any of the markets. The supply here to-day is 5000 head, very decent Mon day run this season, and dealers look for a considerabl influx of cattle here this week, stuff that has been held back by unfavorable shipping weather for some weeks past. Prices are steady to-day, fed steers shade stronger, and stocl1ers and feeders also firm: More thin cattle than usual are includ- ed to- day, condition likely to pre- vail balance this week, as many own- CTS were in desperate straits with re- gard to feed even before the latest storm Selling prices look high now, as com pared with last year, but they are not as high as in March, 1910 Should sup plies peter out after this week, as some expect the logical expectation would be for good advances in the price lists. Top natives sell around $500, bulk at $6.75 10 S775, top COWS $6 25, helfers $IO0, bulls $5 ,75. stockers $6 30, feed- CTS S6.85. Forty cars of quarantine cat tie came in to-day, mostly steers, which sold at $570 to $725. Some western spayed heifers brought $6. l5 o-day. ;. Hog prices went un fast last week, and closed oply slightly under the best time, net gain being around 55 cents for the week. The run to-day is 5000 head, market barely steady at the ope- ming, but gaining force as the session progressed, and closing higher than Saturday. Packers seemnot unwilling to't,oost prices. some of the most pro- nohnced bear packers leading in the riotous markets of last week This in ,dicates that present prices win stick, or that more will be added to them.
