Company c Wins.

The formal opening Of the basket

Company c squad and the high
school five, resulted In victory for
the soldier boys by score Of So to
Is in hard fought game. Only q
small crowd of spectators was pres

lacking. Both sides showed lack
of team work, but this might be
expected on account of the game be-
ing the first OF the season. Both
teams promise well for the future.
The high school lineup follows:
P. Sterling, Meller, Mag, House,
Daniels and A. France, who substi-
tuted for Daniels in the second half.
The Company c players were Sober

New Snow Plow.

One Of the largest and most up to
date snow plows ever made has just
been received on this division by the
Illinois Central. The cost Of the
pillow was $4,000. The plow was
made at Ridgeway, N. York.
Last year number Of trains were
delayed by the heavy SHOWS which
were encountered on this division
and 1t was thought best to secure q
good plow, SO that this could be
done away with. The new pillow b a
huge affair, and in 1t are all the re-
quisites Of good one. It is almost
as high as an engine and Is on the
order Of the old plows. When ii.
works the snow will be thrown, not
close to the track, but several feet
to each side.
Another pillow will be secured for
the Minnesota division. On the 9TH
er divisions there is no need Of
pillow as the SHOWS are not as heavy
as here. Up to the present time the
snow has not bothered the trains
this winter.

THOSE APPOINTMENTS.

In attempting to prevent the con-
firmation of presidential appoint
ments in the closing months OF
Taft's administration democratic
senators are showing that they care
more for partisan politics than for
the good of the country. Mr.. Tart
is president until March Attn next
and there is no just reason why ne
should not fill all vacancies that
may occur in the usual course Oh
term expirations. The precedent has
been established and President Will
son will have the same right after
the election four years hence when
he will be defeated for reelection.
The people voted in the democratic
party for four years, yet democratic
senators are undertaking to steal a
few months for democratic officials.
A recent Washington dispatch, in
discussing this feature, says:
| President Cleveland at the close
of his administration sent 1,O2O
4 nominations to the senate and all
were confirmed but 103. OF this ag-
gregate 348 were postmasters and
all were confirmed except "a. Dur
ing his first administration Presi-
dent Cleveland sent in 400 nomina'
lions and all these were approved
| but 1888; 271 were postmasters anc
all were confirmed except 6S.
OF the 583 nominations sent tt
the senate by President Arthur prior
to the Inauguration OF President
Cleveland all were confirmed but 4
OF the 512 nominations sent to thu
senate by President Harrison al
: were confirmed but %.
These figures show what the pre-
! cedents in American history are,
9 said Senator Smoot Of Utah. "The!
!, show how the democrats are violat
ling the presidents in taking actor
to prevent the confirmation Of nom
nations
"The republicans are not attempt
: ing to have confirmed officials who's
+ terms expire after the new admin
istration begins. They are INSISTING
that the senate follow the custom
and confirm nominations to I'll
0 places where commissions have ex
e pired or which will become vacan
before the Taft administration ]
ended. In some cases the commits
sions have already expired, in 9th
: ers, as in the cases of the interstat
commerce commission, the place
will be vavant unless nomination
are confirmed at this session Of con
gress. It is such nominations an
| these alone the republicans are seek
ing to have confirmed"

The theory that woman suffrage
will solve the liquor problem is an
interesting theory that cannot be
borne out by the record in woman
suffrage states.-Sioux City Journal.
Well, woman suffrage is a step to-
ward the destruction of the saloon.
In Colorado the women have made
great Roadway against the saloon.
Boulder, a town of 10000, went dry
because the women voted there, and
Colorado Springs, city of $4,000
people, has no saloons. In Denver
the women voted with the men for
the saloon, but sentiment there is
growing against the saloon. 1t is

dred had to be paid for it. Flour
was shipped from Chicago and sold
at 81 per hundred and meat was al
so shipped from Chicago and had to
be sold at SIS per hundred for side
pork, with larger prices for shout
ders and hams Each year renewed,
but id decreasing ratio, the condi-
ton here mentioned and each was
met in the Same manner. Homer had
daily mails brought by stage run
ming through to Fl. Dodge and her
prosperity continued until lS7O,l
when the Illinois Central railroad
had been completed to Webster City
and Fort Dodge. After this, the de-
cline of the town was as rapid as It's
growth had been, but the country
around about it continued to prog
ress, checked and hindered only by
the unfortunate river land difficult
ties in which many of the settlers
were involved, and of which we
shall write at length in a future
chapter. Hooks Point shared in the
| general prosperity Of that part OF
the country and soon grew into a
small little village. 1t had large
steam sawmill, general store and al
most all kinds of business, but un-
like Homer, when the railroad
crossed the northern part of the
county, it's prosperity, though
checked, was not destroyed, and af-
ter a time began to grow again,
lslowly, and held its own until the
Northwestern railroad crossed the
southern part Of the county and
Stratford was established, then most
of the people moved to Stratford and
Hooks Point was wiped out entire
ly.
In common with the country
about Homer and Hooks Point, the
! whole county began to show actlv-
ity in the way Of new settlements,
> but not in so marked degree as
near those two towns.
The return, and settlement IN
this county, of what was known as
g the "New York Colony" that had
gone to Dakota early in 1864, fur
:. nished perhaps the largest body Of
people to the county, and made VI
y the largest share of the settlers ar
Q irving in that year. In 1865, the
: settlers came in larger numbers
:. than ever before and new home:
: were established in all parts OF the
o county. This manner of settlement
: continued and increased with thu
! years. There was no unusual Of

ROUND TABLE XMAS PARTY.

4
The Literary Round Table held
it's annual Christmas party Friday
evening at the handsome home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. E. Younkee. A.
turkey dinner was served at s p. N.
and it was indeed sumptuous re-
past, heartily enjoyed by all. The
husbands and gentlemen friends OF
the members had been invited TO
participate in all of the evenings
festivities.
The usual remembrance basket
was replaced by unique arrange
ment, by which the packages were
received simultaneously. The open
ing of these and the displaying OF
the contents caused much merri-
ment, the gentlemen being especial
ly delighted with their useful and
appropriate gifts. The remainder Of
the evening was spent in social en-
joyment, interspersed with an excel
lent musical program, during which
one of the members distinguishes
herself and surprised her friends by
her unsupported musical ability.
These annual parties, when the
gentlemen participate. have been
among the most enjoyable Of the
Round Table social affairs for the
past eighteen years and each has
seemed more enjoyable than the last.
