A Society Event

It certainly must have been a great pleasure to Mrs. H. B. Mckenzie to have given such a magnificent party to her guest, and former college mate, Mrs. Nell Wells Gordon, of Mor- rilton, on yesterday afternoon in her beautiful and spacious home in the suburbs of the city.
 Tables were arranged for about sixty players who enthusiastic ally engaged in a progressive game of rook-Miss Royston, the happy bride-t -to-be, winning the championship, which was duly re warded by the presentation of a handsome blue messaline sash.
 A most delicious Spring lunch con was served, the hostess be- ing assisted by Mrs. Chas. Pitt man and Mrs. Hart. Little Miss Gordon, daughter of the honoree, and Master Horace Mckenzie were also busy with their little ministrations to the pleasure and comfort of the guests.
 There were numerous vases of sweet peas at every turn, each guest being supplied with a dainty bunch.
 The out-of- town guests were: Mrs. Chas. E. Royston, of Wash ington; Mrs. D. B. Sparks and Mrs. Eberle, of Fort Smith; Mrs. Boney, of Stamps; Mrs. H. E. Rouse, of Little Rock and Mrs. Schumacher, of Magnolia.

Elsa Dryden opened the library dcSr. Then she raised her hand sud denly to wave Kent Bane, who was behind her, back into the hall She held the door half open for a moment al i then softly closed it. Her face which a moment before had been flushed and laughing, was very white.
 What is it?" Bane asked.
 "It Is nothing-nothing. Come in here" She led him into a room across the hall Father has guests in the lRrary."
 Elsa, what is it? Is there anything I can do to help you? You know that what hurts you must also make me unhappy"

 Father, will Colonel Bane lose his position as president of the canal board?"
 MT Dryden stared at her. "Yes." he said, coolly, he will"
 'But, father. have you no thought for Kent and for me?"
 MT. Dryden slowly lighted a cigar. Why should I consider Kent?" he asked deliberately. What Is Kent 10 me? And what" he added after a significant silence. what is Kent to you?"

RnEA APPLICATION
 BEFORE GOVERNOR

listened to arguments on both sides of the case, Gov. Donaghey late Monday afternoon took the applcation of w. $. Rhea, under sentence for murder in the first degree, for communication to life imprisonment, under advisement. He will render an opinion about the last of the week.
 The Rhea case is the most inn portant murder hearing to come before Gov. Donaghey this year. It is being stubbornly contested, there being strong legal talent on each side.
 Former Governor X. o. Pindall argued on behalf of the petition all Monday morning, and Havis Nixon, prosecuting attorney, fol lowed in the afternoon for the state, Attorney Sid Hunter, of Pine Bluff, also for the state, fol lowed, and Col. George W. Murphy closed with a most eloquent plea for the life of Rhea, giving a very clear review of the case, and pointing out the many reasons why executive clemency should be extended. The hearing was largely attended by friends of Vital Archard, the murdered man, from Farrelle, Redtield, and other places. The wife of the murdered man, accompanied by |anumber of relatives, sat on one side of the room during the argu- ments, while number of rela- lives of Rhea sat upon the other. There was much weeping among the sisters and other women relatives of Rhea during the re- ctal of the evidence,
 Rhea, plantation foreman on LennoX place, near Dumas, was convicted at Pine Bluff for the murder of Vital Archard, a deputy consta ble and deputy sheriff of Saline county. Archard went to the Lennox place and ar rested Grant Sanders, a negro wanted in his county on a charge Of assault with intent to kill. The arrest was made at the in stance of the negro's bondsman, who was afraid he was not going appear when his case was call ed for trial,

Suspicion attached To two Firms.
PaavoIa and Saari, who weie known to
have been passing along the railroad
about the same time that Coffy was

gent around and the men of the entire
nelghborood got out and secured the
woods until the two men were found
and lodged in Ontonagon Jail Sheriff
O. Rorque claims that he has pretty
strong proof against the two men whom
he claims were under the influence OF

ON the railroad they wantonly killed
him without cause or provocation.

one of the most successful meetings
held in Crystal Falls in long tane.

of. II looked as IL some practical re-.
suits may come from the affair by the
organization of local association or
through some other agency so that

THE PROOF
That Bull Moose Vote is a Vote Against
Your Own Welfare.

lhat Bull Moose Vote IS a Vote Against
Your Own Welfare.
Last week we told our readers that
the tonnage tax idea has not been a.
bandoned.by the lower peninsula farm
ers and that the evasion of l.. Whitney
Watkins the bull moose candidate for
governor, when in the upper peninsula.
must be taken for what they are de-
signed to befog the issues so that the
bull moose adherents in these iron and
copper counties may not nave their
eyes opened to the truth until too late.
To prove our assertion that the ton
mage tax is not dead issue as Mr..
Watkins claims il is we take the fol
lowing extract from the last issue of
the Michigan Patron, the grange paper,
which has just come TO our desk Here
il is
Every once in while some news
paper ventures TO inquire what mas be-
come Of The Tonnage Tax propositioug
Allow us 10 inform the gentlemen that
the tonnage tax will be heard from at
its proper time,
The mining tax proposition Will
again become acute by next winter.
All the proposed remedies to relieve
the situation have proven iailures as
we predicted. The tonnage tax will he
found to be the only solution We are
fortunate that none OF the political
parties endorsed the tonnage tax that
would have been real disaster for il
would have lined up the other party
against it. We can now 20 before the
Legislature with the tonnage tax as a
peoples measure and not any party
measure. The mines are paying big
ger dividends than ever Why not
have the state get It's fair share for the
public burdensS
And this brings us 10 point where
we wish to piont ont the value Of a
torceful paper like the Patron in push
ing grange measures The Patron was
the first and only paper 10 advocate the
toni age tax. IL converted the mem

Over 1911

The above table shows the valuation
as fixed by the state tax commission
Tor the different townships OF Iron

II will be noted that there has been
added TO the valuation of Iron COUNTY
about 81, 800 600, or this increase Iron
River gets the biggest share. that town
ship going from about two and one
half million TO over six million. Crys-

TO its valuation while the township of
Crystal Falls got n trifle over million.
The rolls did not get back from CO.

thorough inspection of them rolls was
not possible but from hurried exam.

the residents of Crystal Falls city and
Iron River Village get the biggest
share of the increases in the taxes
All farm property has gone up. IL has
been the practice in the past TO favor
