A Party

Last Monday H. w. Rowlee, one of
our old veterans, had a birthday ami
versary and he was seventy-two years
old. Things passed off as usual for him
during the day but in the evening just
as he was thinking of retiring his home
was beseiged by about fifty of his
friends, ladies and gentlemen, taking
him completely by surprise. After the
first blush of embarrassment had passed
he extended hearty greetings TO all and
then they proceeded to make. the eve-
ming of his seventy-second birthday one
OF the very happiest events of his life.
OF course there were refreshments and
the crowd returned to their homes at a
late hour satisfied that they had all had
a most enjoyable evening and that Com
rade Rowlee had enjoyed his anniver-
sary land wishing for him many more
and equally pleasant ones.

Some Good Road

The road overseers are getting busy
in some parts of the county and most
reports are to the effect that they are
doing their work well in this year of
1912.
Such is especially true in the ease of
Geo. Teske, who has charge of the
work in Morton township. Those who
have een the finished product of his
efforts in the work from the Cass cor
ner to the Matt Schmitt place, say that
he has made about the best piece of
that kind of road work that is to
be found anywhere in Day county, and
that it could be used as a model by
other overseers who have work of that
class before them.
There is no better advertisement for
a county than good roads and Morton
township is to be congratulated on this
piece of work.

Memorial Services

In compliance with the request of the
grand chancellor of the state sixteen
members of the local Knights of Pythias
lodge met in the Kading hall last Sun
day and marched from there to the
Episcopal church to attend Memorial
services for their departed brothers.
Rev. Clarence B. Riggs preached a very
appropriate sermon for the occasion
which was highly commented upon by
the Knights and their friends who were
present. The attendance would have
been much larger but the notice given
was very short and several of the
knights had made other plans for the
day which could not be-changed at the
very late hour at which the notice was
received without very much %inconveni-
ence. The boys promise to be looking
for the date next year and most of them
say that nothing will interfere with
their attendance.

A New Auditor

MI. and Mrs. Van Vleet, of Glencoe,
Mimi, have arrived in this city, have
rented what is known as the Bradley
residence in the first ward and will
make their home here in the future.
The family come highly recommended
and will be gladly welcomed in Web
ster social circles. Mr.. Van Vleet has
accepted a position as auditor for the
Williams line of elevators and will
devote his entire time and attention to
that work in which he has had consid.
cradle experience.
This will take large amount of work
from the force of the Farmers and
Merchants National bank who it past
years have devided the auditor work
among them. We congratulate all par
ties to the change.

The prospects of a splendid crop of

time to celebrate and are looking for
an opportunity to meet for an all round

strenuous work commences again.
Webster has not had a fourth of July

hundred dollars and there will be sew
eral events on each day.

ground and others will be at the stables
next week. The races are assured and
will be the best to be seer in this Sec
ton of the state this year. The horses
are all going into the Minnesota and
South Dakota circuits and this is their
first opportunity for a ''tryout."
The committee has arranged for two
brass bands which will be busy all the
time furnishing music to enliven and
entertain the attendants at the cele-
bration.
There has been a splendid program
arranged of patriotic songs, music and
an address by Hon. H. H. Potter.
There will be the usual celebration
''street sports for boys and girls. The

orchestra at the dance the morning of
the 9th.
This will be a "Safe and Sane" cele-
b%ration, yet the committee promises

An Party

Last week Wednesday Messrs. and
Mesdames X. Hammerbacher and l.. E.
Yoerg, of Minneapolis. arrived in this
city in an automobile. They expected
to make a visit here for a day or so at
the home Of our fellow townsman, George
Hammerbacher-he being a brother of
Mr.. X. Hammerbacher and Mrs. Yoerg
and then they were going on to Aber-
deem before returning to Minneapolis.
But the elements changed their plans
and owing to the fearful condition of
the roads they have been compelled to
remain in Webster ever since. To add
to Mr.. Yoerg's discomfort he has been
suffering from rheumatism and was bed
fast for a few days. Mr.. Hammer
bacher returned to the city on the train
Tuesday night and the res of the party
will make the return with the machine
as soon as the road dry sufficiently to
make automobiling possible.

A Good Scare

Theodore Fisher is putting in a new
building on his lot on lower Main street
and has the excavating all done. Moth
ing to scare a person about hat ordi-
narily, but the rams of the past two
weeks have very much softened things
and the fore part of the week it was
discovered that the north wall Of Mr.
Knapp's hotel was just about to slide
into Fishers new basement. Neither
gentleman wanted this state of affairs
to happen and a gang of men were at
once got busy with large timbers and
braces and the building was soon put in
splendid shape to remain until such time
as the new wall will support it. The
Fisher building is moving along just as
rapidly as Contractor McKennett and
his crew of cement workers can force
the construction. OF course the rainy
weather has mitigatei somewhat agaist
cement work the past few weeks.

We left Seattle Sunday morning at 8
o'clock o. the Manposa, the fastest boat
on this rum. The weather was the fin
est, We first got glimpse of the ocean
at Queen Charlotte Sound and our stom-
achs rebelled a little as the boat rocked
under the swell of the sea.
We stopped at Katchikan eight hours
to unload freight; then on to Juno, the
capitol, for four hours stop; and then
Yekolock, the great Indian town. We
had open sea before reaching this town
and just as we came out in the open sea
a National Cash Register company agent
put on ar Alaskan moving picture show
in the boat, but pictures moving one
way and the boat rolling another drove
us all to our hunks in twenty minutes.
| went to sleep and never woke up until
we were coming into Yekolock bay.
We arrived here at 200 O'Clock p. m.
in a shower of ashes and we could hear
the bombarding of the volcanoes which
put the the wireless out of business,
the reports or ashes grounding the mes
sages; but this morning the wireless
worked and we learned that the Kap-
man mountain, across Cooks inlet from
| Kodiak island, six hundred miles from
here, had broke loose.
Last night was a fine night, the sur
shone until after 1000 p. M, and a
midnight could distinguish a person
across the street, which makes it hare
for a man who never goes to bed unit
after dark. But / am a slayer anC

Blanks, Happe and Lewis, as well al
myself, are all well and happy. w
certainly enjoyed the scenery which il
the finest in the world. Last evening
we took a walk up the Copper Center
railroad to Eyak lake, a beautiful little
body of water. Today it rained all da,
and we put in our time playing cards

THE BIG FIGHT NOW ON
OPENED In CHICAGO TUES.
DAY, JUNE 10, 1912
TAFT WINS THE FIRST ROUND
National ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Has Been Busy Two Days
Very Little Has Yet Been
Accomplished = Root
Is Made Chairman

The eyes of all the people of the United
States are now conferred upon Chicago
and the national republican convention
which is now in session there. Every
a is strained to hear any news that
may be of interest.
Chairman Rosewater, of the republi-
"a national central committee, called
the meeting to order at 1902, Tuesday.
Governor Hadley, of Missouri, moved
the roll be amended and the delegates
contested for by Roosevelt be seated
instead of the Taft delegates named in
the roll.
James Watson moved that Hadley's
motion be laid upon the table. The
whole thing went over until Wednesday
for a three hours debate.
Rosewater placed Elihu Root in nomi-
nation for temporary chairman.
Harry T. Cochene, of Wisconsin, nomi-
mated Governor McGovern.
The roll call gave Root $50 aid Meow
ern SOP votes.
The committees were appointed and
Chairman Root made a speech. Con-
vention adjourned until II 90 o'clock a.
m. Wednesday.
The time Wednesday was taken up
with a discussion of the Hadley motion
until 4:30 o'clock when a noisy Roose-
welt demonstration marched into the
auditorium and a woman carrying a
Teddy Bear" and a banner 1--WE want
Teddy" was forced through the conven-
ton and upon the stage. 1t was impos-
sible for the chairman to secure order
for hours. The Hadley motion was
defeated by a vote of 564 to $40.
The forces are SO evenly divided that
no n a foretell the outcome. Should
Taft be able to hold all those who voted
for Root on the temporary organization
he would of curse be nominated but it
is known that the lines weren't securely
drawn on the temporary charm anship
and each candidate is claiming he is
surely nominated while straining every
effort to keep the delegates he has and
if possible to get more. Of course the
president apparently has the best hand
but we offer no prediction as to the
result.

with a very few exceptions have been
