ENTHUSIASTIC OLATHEITES
CELEBRATE WATER WORKS
Citizens of Nearby Town Highly
Elated Over the Splendid
New System.

The water works Danq uet at Olathe
Saturday night proved one of the
most delightfully."- enjoyable affairs
the Independent editor has had the
pleasure of attending.
There was so much good feeling
among the people of Olathe them
selves over the accomplishment of
securing the best of mountain water
in their homes and ever at their
command, that it appealed to every
visitor and found ready response.
Satisfaction shone in every man
and woman's face and every hand
was outstretched for congratulat-
ory grasp.
Olathe has a mountain water
works system now in effect, and
what amounts to more, it is deliv-
ering the goods in the midst of
frozen winter, when some other sys-
TENS we could mention are out of
commission in so far as providing
mountain water is concerned.
Olathe's mountain water. in all
its sparkling purity, was in evidence
at the banquet. where glasses were
filled. drank and refilled and sec
I ond time drank to the towns new
happiness.
The banquet provided was also
| in excess of the usual. Turkeys, de-
liciously Drowned. were stacked n
the serving room at the entrance of
| the hall. Plates of the guests We're
heaped with the light and dark meat
and with all the accomplishments
which go to make up feast, pre-
pared by cullinery artists of the
highest skill During the hour OF
repast an orchestra furnished music.
Following the banquet addresses
were made by Father Farrell.
Mayor Kyle and Toly Mcneil of
Montrose: DIR. Lockwood Mayor o.
W. Horton and Bill Nye Haines of
Olathe: Messrs. G. w. Bruce. j. p.

were brought out and the Olathe

ned and worked as few had striven
to attain the end accomplished
that of securing good supply of
mountain water.
All speakers We're lavish in con-
graduating Olathe upon the compile
ton of its water system and all eN-
tended wishes for the prosperity of
the progressive little city.
The fact that olathe has com
pleted a successful mountain water
system at minimum cost under
what appeared very difficult cir
lcumstances. is immensely to the
credit of her citizens. The water
flowing to the homes in O'athe un-
der this system, is of the best that
could possibly be had anywhere. and
that IL will create new impetus
for growth there is no question, for

a LOST AMBITION.

1t seemed strange to so active and
energetic a young man as Arthur II.
Scott OF Brooklyn that he did not at
tack his woak with the usual enthu-
siasm last spring.
He knew it was not spring fever
for his health failed and. to use his
own words in a recent letter, II could
not sleep. had no energy or ambition
and could not do my work properly.
II must say that Vinol has done
me wonderful good for i feel strong
and ambitious again. just like I used
to before my health failed. / rest
we'll at night, have a good appetite
and no more nervousness, all because
/ took your excellent tonic, vinol.n
One reason Mr.. Scott was willing
to try Vinol was because he knew he
could get his money back ii vinol did
not benefit him. This delicious cod
liver and iron remedy without oil,
positively has no equal as D. spring
medicine, to enrich the blood and
make weak. wornyout men. women
and children, rugged, rosy and strong.
WE guarantee it to do this, ana give
back your money IL it does not. Fout

A THRIFTY HoosIEREss.

Indiana has produced the first self
confessed beneficiary of the privileges
women enjoy in leap year
srshe is Miss Fannie Merida of In
~dianapolis.
Justice Manning of Indianapolis
made the statement that he would
MARI, free Of cost, the first girl who
applied to him-and admitted that the
proposal vas a leap year affair.
Miss Merida not only admitted to
the justice that she had made the
Match on her own initiative-but she
explained the entire modus operandi.
At tho suggestion of one of her girl
friends Miss Merida wrote to Charles
H.. Osborn, a thrifty farmer who need
ed a wife. and asked him to call on
her.
Osborn called, and within ten r,'u-
utes after he entered the parlor Miss
Merida lad proposed to him on bene 4
knee and was accepted.
An hour later they were married,
and bore shutdown they were on their
way to orn's farm home.
ilCuris may not have much chance in
such a match-but it was surely mar.
rage with neatness and dispatch.

The fate of this here nation rests up
on what they may do;
They're goin' to set the thing to
reights before they have got
through.
They're runnin' down each rumor and
they're follerin' each clew.
And not a day goes by but what they
dig up something new.
Locks like the farms around these
parts will raise a crop of weeds.
Bekuz our men have got to tend to
this here countrys needs;
They keep on finding out new things
and strickin' brand new leads,
And servin' Of ones country IL the
grandest of all deeds.
The wimmin' round these parts all
think it is a doggone bore;
They've heard so much of politics,
they don't want any more.
But politics is pilin' up and arguments
galore,
It makes a good excuse to loaf down

CAN 0 AN ALIsl.

The rahid LaFollette shouters in
sist the Roosevelt meeting at Grand
Forks was a cut and dried affair-and
further that it was engineered by the
old staIwart gang. The former view
can easily be shown to be wrong-and
the stalwarts can prove an incontro-
vertible alibi.
That tn convention must have been
a spontaneous affair is shown from
the manner in which the convention
was held-and the subsequent on
fusion as to the men who Mould re-
main as delegates m electors. No
man who ever had any active partici-
patton in the smoothly running stall
waFt machinery of old convention
-days-would have been guilty of the
mistakes of the recent meeting at
Grand +, rks.
EFhe heads of the three state insti-
tutions Of learning were selected on
the. lists Of delegates anG electors. 1t
was a nice compliment to pay the
trio of educators and also showed that
the upper ten were supporting the
colonel-but from a political stand
point it was IDIOT. 1t would have
been Immediately apparent to any
experienced political manipulation that
neither .os these men could serve-and
their withdrawal would result in con-
fusion.
The mix up over the national COM
mttteemsn was along the same line.
To select a man for the position
without knowing for a certainty that
he would stick on the iob-was, to say
the least, not a master stroke Of
rolitics. His resignation increased
the air of uncertainty in connection
with the Roosevelt movement.
1t is very evident that none of the
stalV-art gang had an active hand in
the Roosevelt boom. They would
have had delegates pledged fore
their selection.
The recent trip of Mr.. Knox of the
national Roosevelt headquarters to
this state will start the machinery
INNING more smoothly-and keep the
political belt from slipping too often.
Despite the ~handicaps of the mis-
takes at Grand Forks the Roosevelt
movement seems to be succeeding
most admirably.

THE AUDITORIUM.

The Bryan addresses yesterday aft
ernoon and last night again indicated
in a W emphatic manner the imper-
ative necessity for an auditorium. AT
the afternoon address, hundreds OF
women were turned away from the
operahouse for lack Of room. In the
evening there was a repetition of the
afternoon situation-except that the
men were the victims.
Fargo should have an auditorium
Of sufficient size to accommodate the
audience that wouI6 assemble to hear
am speaker. Lack of a hall with
sufficient seating capacity has lost this
city some excellent conventions. The
inability of Fargo to care for the Iarg-
er meetings has been a bad advertise
ment 70" the city. 1t also has meant
a l IS in usiness to the hotel men and
to every branch Of retail trade.
Now-and tomorrow-and next day
and next week-are good times to
boost FIR an auditorium.

WORD FROM A PIONEER
Former North Dakota Man Who Tried
to Raise suffaIoes for Fur Writes
for The Forum.

William Weaver RENTS for The Foo
rum from Casa Grande. Ariz., and al
so sends The Forum a copy of the To-
cal paper showing that the interior
department has decided against. the
railroad companies and in favor of the
settlers who wish to construct the San
Carlos reservoir for irrigation pur-
poses. This project will allow the
land Of Mr.. Weaver to be irrigated and
hee feels uqite jubilant over the de-
cision.
MIR. Weaver is somewhat of a pio-
neer, as he came to Minnesota in 1856
and lived there for twenty two years.
He the resided at DIrbin for fourteen
years, M has been a resident of Ari-
iona for the past sixteen years. Many
Of the old settlers viii recall the ef-
forts of Mr.. Weaver to breed buffalo
for fur purposes while at Durbin.

and how ones yard should be laid of;
upon parking and boulevarding the
streets; improving public grounds
like school yards, and in fact a gen.
eral talk along the lines of beautifying
the city.
Probably no city in the state has
made greater strides in the past few
years towards beautifying its homes
and improving its streets than Bis
marck; hundred of trees will be set
out this spring and this address, along
these lines will be especially timely
to Bismarck people.

SUNDAY

III has been some discussion as
to the location of the tabernacle for
the Sunday meetings. 1t was at first
thought the vacant lot on the corner
OF Fifth street and Second avenue
north was an ideal place but Nh. Gill,
the advance agent Of the evangelist,
announced that it was too small.
There are many objections advanced
against t proposition to locate the
tabernacle in Island park. The posi-
biIity Of hi-h water would make it I'M
satisfactory, to say the least.
The more recent proposition to Sc
cure more Don for the Fifth street
site by extending the building out
over the street would not meet with
favor. Fifth street is one of the most
