Luncheon and Concert.

The local bankers proved them- selves fine entertainers last night, when they had the visiting bankers attend an elaborate luncheon at the Bluff City Club at 6:30 o'clock The tables were arranged in "A shape and were decorated with sweet sweet peas and carnations, many candles added their soft glow to thf scene. The ladies of the Trinity church served the luncheon in course and it was complete in every detail A number of charming young lad.e: served and the Pine Bluff Band furn ished program Of music during the lntermissions between toasts. Jud2t w. D. Jones ofticiated as toa:t tmaste. and brief "after dinner speeches. which might be termed "betweel course talks,' were made by C.. L. Boye, of St. Louis; E. c. Stewart, St. Louis; J. E. Boyce, of this c.ty and George w. Rogers, of Little Rock Owing to the popularity of George L Bone, a Memphis banker who wa present and because of his fine sto.! telling ability, he was repeatedly call ed upon for a speech. He did not re spond with talk, hut his humorou stories and recitatons proved a de ~lightfui feature of the occasion. NJ Bone, besides being a clever gentle man and successful banker, i. something of 3 mimic as well and nl kept the guests in an uproar during the evening. His big fat jcvial fact worked overtime with his comedy anf all the evening the good natured as semblage were applauding for him te "tel another one.' He was Hbera too, and he scored the hit of the ev. ening.
 After the luncheon the visitin; bankers and their ladies were take1 to the Elks Theater, where con cert was given in their hcnor Tn concert was arranged by the enter tainmert committee and several lSca art 'sts participated. The program follows:

 ,. Goodbye, (TostD, Miss Harrel
 Two piano solos by Miss Williams were rendered in the very best style Of that finished performer, and eac'7 time brought forth applause which induced an encore number.
 What can cne add to the laurel' that Miss Harrel has already earned To use the simplest language and fay that every note and gesture that She used, pleased and satisfied hel IA aience is to abjure the use of un. af'ecessary adjectives
 Hiss Broadstreet, another of Pine Bluffs favorites, was heard to hel usdal advantage and the delight ot her auditors, while the exceptional Skill displayed by Miss Winnie Clegs as her acconlpanist, deserves specia notice.

Capitol Of Turks
May BE Taken Soon
England viii Stand By the Balkans
Eight Battalions Of Volunteers
Have Gone to Fight

The British say that the Balkan
states have the right to formulate the
terms on which they are prepared to
have peace.
The union of the Balkan states at
this moment is more close. hearty and
intimate than it has ever been, for it
has been welded by blood and common
sacrifice. There is not the least dan
ger that any disagreement as to divi-
sion of territory or position of 'front.'
iers will disturb it.
1t may be assumed that mas much
as the details of the campaign were
arranged with the greatest care, the
same procedure will be followed, both
as to the conclusion of hostilities and
the subsequent political considerations.
Russians and Macedonians are among
the volunteers who are leaving the Bull
garian capital for the front. Constan-
tinople may be taken but it is believed to
be we'll protected. One of the strong
est outposts on the Turkish frontier has
already fallen.
1t is thought that some agreement
will be signed soon and the countries be
at peace again.

500 Operator Showed Bravery

Valley City, N. D.. Nov. 5.-About
l a. m. today two masked men ap-
peared at the ticket Office at the 500
depot and ordered the baggageman and
operator to hold up their hands. The
demands We're backed by couple of
ugly looking guns, so no time was lost
in complying with the orders.
One of the men attacked the money
drawer and had it in his hands when
Night Operator Beck succeeded in Sc
curing his gun and opened fire on the
men. One of the men extinguished the
lights and in making their getaway they
dropped the money drawer. which con-
tanned about $95.
Chief Swanson and Deputy Sheriff
Kelly were Immediately sent for but
were unable to locate the men or to
find any trace of them. 1t is supposed
that the men managed to secrete them
selves somehow in the freight house
during the early evening and after all
was still to make their way into the
Office unobserved. 1t is reasonably GER
tain that after the display of courage
they met with at the hands of Operator
Beck they will hesitate to return and
try to secure the booty they came so
near getting away with. 1t is not
thought that either of the men were
hit

strange or unusual about a farmer
mortgaging piece of land or his home

strange or unusual about a farmer
mortgaging piece of land or his home
stead, but there is a bit of history con-
nected with this Everson mortgage and
his subsequent possession of eight 9TH
er adjoining quarters that is worthy of
mention. In 1883 and 1889 pretty much
all of the original settlers made proof
on their homesteads and mortgaged
their land-l68 of these mortgages
E. Ashley Mears, of Minot. and of the
whole number there was but one redeem
ed and paid and that one was the Ole
Everson mortgage. The other 167 Mears
mortgages were foreclosed and the land
passed into the hands of eastern specu-
lators. In 1897 Mr.. Everson commenced
acquiring additional land and has add
ed to his holdings from year to year and
some of it has cost him S26 per acre
too-his holdings now bring all free
from encumbrances. Mr.. Everson and
his good wife have been hard workers,
have made a success on the farm and
have demonstrated that you can farm
and make money in Mclean county,
and they are sure deserving of rest.

Letter From the Far West


w. L. Raftery. who was sent by the
government to teach in the Philippine
Islands, has written an interesting
letter to our county superintendent.
The letter was written the 18th OF
September and reached here November
End. Mr.. Raftery says: This is now
the rainy season. 1t began in June and
will probably last until October. Every
day nearly we have showers ranging
from a drizzle to a heavy down pour.
Then it takes a notion occasionly to
show what it can do when it tries and
pours and pours until one wonders if it
could possibly pour any more. So far
though we have not had any rains that
did much damage like the rains last
year.
Up to the fifth grade the children
have had no contact with an American
teacher but have been taught by teach
ers that in many cases could not cor
rectly contruct ten ordinary sentences,
but by the time tney are through the
high school most of them can write and
speak English fairly well. Many how
ever never get the correct sound OF
certain letters. The sixth grade boys
have two periods Of shop work in the
morning and three periods Of gardening
in the afternoon. The fifth grade boys
have three periods of gardening pei
day and the seventh grade boys have
two periods divided between shopwork,
drawing and music.
The girls in all grades have but three
academic subjects: reading, arithmetic
and grammar. Their industrial work
consists Of sanitation, nursing, house.
keeping, cooking, lace making, needle.
work and ethics. The classification
looks little strange but that is the
way we find it. s

VIII Fiji Vacancy

Vne-Pres. Sherman's Death Leaves a
Vacancy On National Ticket To
Be Filled Nov. II

The national committee will meet
November 18th and fill the vacancy on
the national ticket caused by the death
of Vice. President Sherman. The dem
ocrats were winners at the last election
and the committee will aim to put in q
man who will bring the two factions
together. Among those who may be
appointed are mentioned LaFollette,
Cummins, Borah, Hadely and Beve-
ridge. They are all of national fame.
From the vote given LaFollette in this
state at the primaries it is plain to be
seen whom this state would like to see
appointed vice-president.

was attached a coupon good for South

Hoff, farmer who lives on the old
Sunstrom homestead six miles northeast
of Washburn. brought in the coupon and
received the So watch. He had two
chances to sell the coupon but did not
do SO. Mr.. Hof was in town when the
balloon was sent up and did not get home
until after dark. The following morn
ing he found it in his back yard.

Many Acres Under Snow

Peter j. HOLDEN came down from
Roseglen Wednesday with the election
returns. He reports that at the Black
water precinct man asked each voter
how many acres he still had to tllresh
and when the figures were counted that
evening it was found that at least four
thousand acres were under snow. The
threshing was all done around Ryder
but there is still thousand acres that
will be left until spring near Roseglen.
Sleighing is good up that way and the
snow we'll packed so it looks as though
it is there to stay.

the result. The engineer on the pas

ever badly injured as was also the pull
man conductor, the passengers were
shaken up but no one injured. The
two engines are said to be totalwrecks.

Season Opens Sunday

The deer season opens Sunday and
many will hope for light fall of snow
the night before so the game can be
easily tracked. It is thought the sport
will not be very exciting as deer are
scarce. Some hunting lodges along the
river bank will be occupied during the
whole season by those who are anxious
to get all the law allows.
