The Wurra Wurra Club.

There was fair average attendance of members-that is to say, a medium at tendance not full house, of course, but quite few; that is, quite good many a fair average, don't you know. It was a calm, still night nothing stirred. But maybe it wasn't hot Maybe it wasn't. The president, MT. A. w. Holsapple, was so late in arriving that he didn't arrive at all, and the meeting had to go ahead and do things without him. Mir. Clar- ence Humphrey was unanimously elected chairman pro tenn. and managed the session with neatness and despatch. He sang the Opening Ode, himself; read the minutes of the previous meeting col lected the dues, fines and assessments 1; umpired the controversies. and never lost on a single decision.
 The first motion offered was another bill for rent of the Club-room, handed in by Deputy Sheriff Rhoades. It was re- ferred to the committee on plan and scope, with power.
 ANs <" aho0h A resolution of criticism" which he pro- posed to have the secretary forward to the Investigating board of railroad officials who held the inquiry, last Wednesday, into the causes of the Canaan wreck, with view to locating the responsibility for the disaster. "I see by the report" said MT. Hardenbergh, "that the investi- gating board were unable to determine. at once, just where the fault lies. That is easily accounted for. They examined only the train-men, of both trains im7 plicated in. the collision, and persons who were on the spot when the accident oc- cured. That is where the board made mistake. They should have taken the testimony of those people who were not on the spot, but who lost no time in forming and expressing their opinions, evolving theories and fixing the respon- sibility. There are any number of per sons who didn't hear of the accident until the next day, who could have told the examining board just how it happened, just who was to blame, and just what the punishment should be. I hope the reso- lution will be adopted"
 But it wasn't. It fell by the wayside, in overwhelming defeat.
 Sam Camp moved that Chairman E. s. Roberts, of the committee appointed by the recent heart-to-heart meeting of .okooI Lno-d .d ,;t;-an. a,J n;t;.ana.sae to formulate a proposition regarding needed school-house improyem snts, be requested to recognize the Club in his selection of associate members of his committee.
 "Who would you suggest'" asked Ralph Farnum.
 "Not who but 'whom," said the chair in mildly reproachful tone.
 "Not on your life," retorted Farnum. eWben I say who, I mean who."
 ''I don't care who says who, it sounds like the language of the owl," said Free man Dempsey, putting in.
 "Well, the owl has the reputation of being wise bird," replied Farnum.
 At this point the chair banged the desk with his gavel and said: "This discussion simply proves that certain members cer- tainly ought to be interested in the school, for it's plain that they need to be. Now the difference between who and whom is this"
 "Mr. President, withdraw my motion," said MT. Camp. "On second thought I'm convinced that a place on any educational committee is no place for any member of this Club" That closed the incident.
 Judge Ford moved that the Club ap- point committee to arrange for a suita- ble celebration of Christmas, but Charles
