Wagon Turned Over
And James Schaunamann Has
Narrow Escape.

James Schaunamann had quite
an experience the other day.
Coming to town with load of
wheat drawn by pair of bron-
chos, he drove in at Elevator No.
5. The horses became fright
ened and backed out; the load
turned over the driveway, and
spectators yelled for Mr.. Schau-
namann to jump. And it was
lucky for him that he did so, for
the loaded wagon turned com
pletely over. Bystanders has
tened to cut the straps and re-
lease the horses, thereby saving
their lives. Ali helped raise up
the wagon and reload the grain,
and Mr.. Schaunamann started
for home, none the worse for his
experience. He says he has
driven horses for 30 years and
t...is was his first accident.

A Ghost PARTY

About thirty young people of
the Methodist church enjoyed a
Halloween party last Friday
night. The first part of the pro-
gram was pulled off at the Shear
er home. A hair-raising con-
traption was set up in the barn,
in which you walked over an old
bed spring, and began to sink,
apparently into the bottomless
pit, your face coming in contact
7, with wet towels which hung on
all sides in the darkness. And
occasionally the eyes were filled
with puff Of powder, all being
accompanied by flashes of arti-
fetal lightning. This was called
Going through Hades." When
all had been initiated, under the
guidance of a witch and a ghost,
a march was made to Dave Ste
vens's corn field and were there
met by another who freely dis
pensed popcorn. A journey
was then made to the Massing-
ham home where a number of
ghosts metthem with bountiful
supply of apples. Back to the
parsonage once more for addi-
tional games, other fun and a
fine lunch at the church.
When it was time to go home,
all had their heads covered with
paper sacks, and few were able
to tell their own partners.

In Honor Of Mrs. Fluke

Last Friday evening a delight.
full Halloween party was given
by Mrs. E. j. Turner and Mrs.
H. S. Morris at the home of the
latter, in honor of Mrs. Henry
Fluke. The fourteen young la
dies present participated in such
contests as bobbing for apples,
and eating apples suspended on
strings, with more or less sue
cess; and a little later in the
evening the guests fished out of
a huge cauldron some startling
events in their lives which they
had supposed were known only
to themselves. One of the main
features of the evening was
writing the story Of girl named
Kate. The outline of the story
was given the guests on printed
cards, and each one had to fill in
the blank spaces with words
which rhymed with Kate. Great
ingenuity and extensive vocabu-
laries were displayed in the re-
suit.
After indulging in the games
appropriate to Halloween de-
lightful supper was served in
the dining room where witches
riding on broomsticks orna-
mented the place cards of the
guests. Black cats, black bats.
witches and broomsticks gave
the rooms that creepy, mysteri-
Gus air which is necessary for
Halloween pranks.
Mrs. Hill entertained Mrs.
Fluke at luncheon on Friday, and
Mrs. Opheim gave a six o'clock
dinner in her honor on the same
day.

Costly Fun.

a bunch of Peever boys had a
grand and glorious time IN cele-
brati-g Halloween But they
paid for it afterwards. Among
their other escapades, they threw
beer bottle through a plate
glass window at Aney Bros.
store. These gentlemen failed
to take the matter as a good joke
and were about to begin a Grim
inal action, when a settlement
was made for $24.

Talked Against Saloon
Rev. r. N. Holsaple Gave Rous-
ing Address Sunday Night.


\ union temperance meeting
was held at the Presbyterian
church last Sunday evening and
a rousing address was given by
Rev. r. N. Holsaple of the Anti.
Saloon League of this state. Mr..
Holsaple warmed up in great
shape and handled his subject
without gloves, talking most en-
tertainingly until about ten
O'Clock. The speaker did not in
dulge in the temperance talk of a
decade OR two ago, but brought
a most cheering and hopeful
message to all who are in SYM
pathy with temperance reform.
He pointed out that large ma
jority of the states in the union
are line with the reform move
ment and that the brewers and
liquor dealers, now thoroughly
alarmed, are organizing and en-
ploying high salaried men to pre-
vent further spread of the
movement and to head off fur
ther state legislation detrimental
to the saloon interests. The old
arguments for the necessity of
saloons are now becoming ex-
tinct; the argument that without
saloons blind pigs will exist is
without force, for blind pigs ex-
ist in most towns which have sa-
looms, and Mr.. Holsaple backed
up this statement by telling of a
raid in which he participated the
first of the month at Mitchell, a
wet town, where five people were
arrested for blind pigging, six
for gambling and three for run
ming houses of i'll fame. Science
has come to the rescue of the
temperance cause by showing
the evil effects Of liquor on every
organ of the body, and Mr.. Hol-
saple's most powerful argument
in favor of temperance was made
when he showed by quoting sta
tistics that intemperance and in
sanity go hand in hand. Nevada,
the state with saloon for every
fifty men, women and children,
has the largest per cent of in
sane people of any state in the
union; while California, close
second with her number of sa-
looms, ranks next to Nevada in
the number of insane.
Mr.. Holsaple told the au dience
of the large convention which is
to be held in Cincinnati Nov. 10th
to 18th, and stated that it was
the purpose of the convention to
effect measures by which ma
tional prohibition of the manu-
facture of liquor and it's impor-
tation would be brought about.
At the close of the talk, pledg
cards were distributed and an
offering was taken for the pur-
pose of furthering the excellent
work of the Anti-Saloon League.

fiftv.eight of the fifty-nine pearls com
posing the S65O,O00 necklace that dis
appeared mysteriously last July while
in transit from Paris TO London.
Scotland Yard admitted that the
pearls have been positively identified
as those trat made up the costly neck
lace. but the police would say no more
about the matter.
The pearls were found by a work
ingman on his way from home. He
turned them over to the first police
man he saw. Two weeks ago five
men we're arrested charged with com
plicity in the theft of the pearl neck
lace. and in the Bow street police
court were remanded without bail for
trial. Police detectives continued to
work on the case, and it was alleged
that evidence was found involving
postal employees in the theft.
The costly necklace was assembled
by Max Meyer, a Paris ieweler, and
he sent it to London in July by regis
tered post. T. disappeared en- route,

ment of the most damming evidences
of his crime, he was still confronted
with the blood-stained mattress on
which he had killed his victim.
For some time he was puzzled as to
how to dispose of this bulky witness
against him. Finally he carried 1t IN
the dark vacant lot at One Hundred

set it on fire. A portion of this mat
