DIR. CROOKS
Delivers Fine Lecture at the
Presbyterian Church on
ALLEN OR AMERICAN"

Prof. c. G. Crooks delivered
his famous lecture Allen, or
American" at the first Presbyter-
ian church Sunday. Itwas not
we'll known that DR.. Crooks
would be here, and consequently
the audience was not as large as
usually greets him.
DR.. Crooks is a forcible and orig
inal thinker, and he handled his
subject in a masterful way and
charmed and delighted his audi
ence. At the conclusion of the
service he was warmly congratu-
lated by a large portion of the
audience. The speaker pointed
out that The great influx of for
eign population brought into this
country annually many free think
ers; that these emigrants were
not allCatholics as was erroneous
ly presumed by the people gener-
ally. He said that it was a glori-
Gus opportunity for Chris tian
America to work with the foreign
er with a view of converting them
to the true christian doctrine.
He pointed out the fact that the
foreign element collected togeth-
er in villages and in compact
bodies in the larger cities, and
those of kindred tongues usually
sought out each other. Hepoint-
ed out the fact that in the larger
cities every tongue was spoken.
He stated that in Birmingham,
Ala, forty-one different languages
were spoken. He referred to the
well known fact that the larger
number of these emigrants locat-
! ed in the North and East, and
said that in reality the North and
East could be considered the for
eign countries of America.
1t is a lecture that should be
delivered all over the land and
Prof. Crooks, who is one of the
most painstaking of men, ano
who is an able man as well, is al
home on this subject.

by Mrs. John Arnold on School
Entertainments" The subject
was discussed both pro and con
by Mrs. Joe Chenault, Miss Dill
ing, Mrs. Waller Bennett, Miss
Ames, Mrs. Luxon and DR.. Crabbe.
The talks were interesting,
well expressed and brought out
many new phases of the ques-
tion. DIR. Crabbe dwelt at length
on the subject of sane entertain
ments and mentioned proper
times and ways of celebrating
such as Thanksgiving, Christ
mas, Easter and important birth
days.
He stated he was in favor Of
one big rousing entertainment
and this should be May Day."
DR.. Crabbe further touched or
the purpose of the Model anc
Normal School which shoulc
have been heard by every
citizen of Richmond. The pro
gram closed with a story of 'The
Cattle Queen" told by Miss Pat
ridge in her own indescribable
way, and if you have ever heare

this means. The next meeting

Cassius M. Clay, one of the
oldest citizens of Bourbon county
andone of the most distinguished
citizens of the state, died at his

ried, his last wife being daugh-
ter of the Hon. John D. Harris,
of this county, and by this uriion
there were born two sons, Cas-
sius NJ. and John Harris Clay.

constitution for the state of Ken
lucky and presided over the same
with dignity and fairness and
displayed great ability both as Z
parliamentarian and debater.

Snap Shots

One of the prettiest and most
enjoyable entertainments seen in
Richmond in a long while, was
presented on November 25th in
the Caldwell High School Audi
torium.
Not only was the performance
worth while, but the beautiful
spirit which prompted its being
given is to be commended.
Mr.. Bridges and his able corps
of teachers have always stood for
the advancement of every worthy
charity of the city and are to be
congratulated upon the success
of this enterprise.
The choruses, tableaux and
drills were beautiful while the
play, Snap Shots, was catchy
full of action and we'll repre-
sented.
Something over ninets dollars
was cleared and will be used fol
the benefit of the needy schoo

RAINY DAY
ChilIs the Ardor of the Court
Day Crowd.
POOR BUSINESS DAY.

A cold, rainy day greeted the
people and caused big slump in
the crowd. The trading bone"
of the visitors was not working
well and the day may properly
be called grouchy. Shoes, over
coats and rubbers were the only
things rushed.
Only about 400 cattle were on
the market. Cows sold from
3a to5a, yearlings y; steers 6.
200 sheep sold we'll. 100
hogs sold at good prices. Mules
sold stiff but not many changed
hands. Horses were slow with
few changes.

The Powell county grand jury
has indicted the L. 81. N. Rail-
road for operating the L. &. E.
Railroad without filing its lease
or contract and having the same
recorded in Powell county.
1t appears that the railroad is
subject to a fine for failure to do
this in each county through
which the line of railroad which
it operates by lease or contract,
runs.
The outcome of the Indictment
will be watched with interest.

Try This Game

There's new game called
Tickle the Editor You take
an ordinary sheet of writing pa
per on which you pen a few
lines suitable for the occasion.
Next you fold it carefully, en-
closing in the fold a check or
a postoffice order sufficiently
large for all arrearages and a
year or more in advance, and
hand it to the editor. Keep an
eye on him, and if a smile adorns
his face, the trick works fine. It
can be played by mail. Now is
the time to play the joke

Land Buyer" Visits Place
and Leaves with Easily
Earned Money.

wahpeton. n. D.. Feb. 21.-A man
giving his name as Fred Larson work
ed a smooth game in Wahpeton this
week, and went away with about $50
for which he had given no value. The
county authorities are now looking
for him with the intention of making
him a resident Of the county Jail for
a short period.
Larson came to town the latter part
of last week, and called at the Office
of Louis Fleigelman. He claimed to
be in the market for half section of
land %and%asked to be shown property
in this vicinity. He displayed a con-
tract which he had made with 4
Crookston man for a piece OF land
there on which he had paid 500. but
claimed that the land was not as rep
resented and that he was not going
to take it. lie was shown some land
here and an agreement was made for
the purchase. a payment was to have
been made Monday when Larson said
he would have a draft for $500
which he expected in the mail. Dur
ing the day he employed G. w. Feerks
to bring suit to recover the S1Oo
which he had paid the Crookston man.
He remained here several days and
in the meantime succeeded in cashing
a couple of checks, one for IS and the
other for SEQ. Later it was learned
that Larson was a swindler but by
that time he had left for parts un-
known.
1t appears that he has drawn sew.
eral checks on a Havana bank and
had cashed them in other towns near
here. He is unknown in Havana and
is undoubtedly making a living in
ways prohibited by law.
The county authorities have traced
Larson as far as Ortonville to which
place he went from here.
