Little Ora Lucille, daughter of Mr..

home of her parents in Grand River
township, Friday January 3rd, 1913,
aged two months and five days.
One of the most delightful enter
tainments of the winter was the BAN
quet of the New Century Club on
New Years night at the beautiful
home of MIR. and Mrs. Ed Argen-
bright, when the ladies' of the Club
served an elaborate six O'Clock dim
ner to their families. On arriving at
the Argenbright home we We're re-
ceived by Mrs. Argenbright and in
her charming manner bade us well
come. After the guests had arrived
they were ushered into the dining
room where the forty guests were
seated at three long tables and told to
help themselves. And such feast,
there was turkey, and dressing cram
berry sherbert, celery, pickles, escal
loped oysters, mashed potatoes, hot
rolls, salads, ice cream, angel food
cake and coffee.

Republic.
Gov. Hadley, who has been on as
many different sides of the question
of John M. Healy's parole as of the
question of allegiance to the Republi-
can party and President Taft, held a
final caucus with himself on January
13, practically repudiated several diff
ferent positions which he had defen-
ded with spirit and energy on vari-
Gus previous occasions and issued
the parole. Before the recent recti-
fications of grades and curves, the
line over La Veta Pass in Colorado,
had curve so sharp that it is related
that a nervous fireman, essaying to
throw shovelful OF coal into the
firebox, actually deposited it in the
lap of gentleman seated beside an
open window in the last sleeper of
the train. A map of Governor Had
ley's course in the Healy matter
would closely resemble the align
ment of the line over La Veta Pass.

ACCUSES SOLON
OF CORRUPTION
Former Chief Page Of House
Before Lobby Probers.

Washington, Aug. 16.-In a dramatic
statement l.. H. McMichael, dismissed
chief page of the house of %represen-
tativcs, presented to the house lobby
investigating committee a sweeping
charge of corruption against Repre-
sentative James E. McDermott of Hi
nois, for years his sponsor.
With intense earnestness McMi-
chael, in picturesque language, cor
roborated the allegations OF M. M.
Mulhall against McDermott and made
additional charges, at times shocking
the committee and spectators with
outbursts Of profanity and slang.
The witness protested that for years
he had exerted every effort to support
McDermott, had loaned him money,
had helped him in his campaign. Now,
he said, McDermott had thrown him
down and he felt that he must tell
the truth.
In addition to the charges already
made McMichael swore that the Chi.
cago representative told him that he
received $500 out of a fund of S1O,.
900 raised by the pawnbrokers OF
Washington to oppose a bill passed
in the last congress regulating inter
est rates in the District OF Columbia

Juneau, Alaska, Aug. 19.-Twenty-
five Or more passengers, most OF

the rev Of the Pacific Coast Steam
ship company's vessel State of Cali
fornia lost their lives Sunday when
the ship struck an uncharted rock

Others were able to reach RATS and
lifeboats, but died from exposure.
The purser lost all of his records
and it is not possible to give a list
of the missing.

MOST OF HARVESTING DONE
North Dakota Crop Lighter Than
Year Ago.

The North Dakota harvest is so per
cent completed in the southern half
Of the state and threshing has begun.
Winter rye and early barley have
been threshed and the spring wheat
threshing is under way.
The yield is an average one, about
two-thirds as heavy as the big yield
Of 1912.
In the central part of the state the
harvest is half completed, while in the
northern counties, it is very we'll
started.
In the southern and central sections
there is sufficient labor, but the north
ern and western sections complain of
a shortage of harvest help.
The short straw, the cheaper labor,
the smaller Irvine and threshing bills,
combined with other conditions, tend
to make the crop this year as profit
able to the farmers as that of last
season, when the expenses were I'M
usually heavy.
