PROTEST AGAINST
SUNDAY MOVIES
AND LADIES' STUDY CLUB AL
so TAKES ACTION TO IMPROVE
sHOsHONE PHOTO PLAYS.

The ladies' Of the Shoshone Study
Club took aggressive action last Non
day night in opposition TO the passage
Of an ordinance that would permit
Sunday movies. The petition circu-
lated by o. II Harness Of the local
DhotOplay house for the innovation did
not turn up, but the ladies made their
protest nevertheless and they made IL
strong. There were more than
score Of them in the delegation that
called in body At the trustees meet
ing. having arrived on the scene even
before the members Of the body had
ali assembled.
Mrs. Fred y. Gooding, president of
the club, called out the protest as soon
as she ascertained the petition had
been circulated. IN presenting the re-
monstrance Of the ladies she said
they were not only opposed 70 SUNDAY
shows Of the kind but thought an in
provement for every day should be
demanded in this town. Mrs. Good
Ing introduced Mrs. J. F. Melvin as the
spokesman in the absence Of the
chairman Of the committee having In
hand in the matter OF investigating
the picture business in many Of
its objectional features Mrs
Mekin ssid the ladies had
ascertained that Shoshone hsf
about the poorest pictures exhibited in
any Of the towns in this part Of the
state. being notably inferior to those
shown in neighboring towns. She
said the mothers of children had in
many instances Withdrawn their sup
port from the local photoplay for the
~aa son
frequent so-called vaudeville shows at
children to see. Furthermore she said
availed nothing for an improvement
as suggested by the ladies.
On this point Mrs Burnside asked /
the trustees if there were any means 4
by which the movies could be regulat- /
ed and in turn the president of the
board asked City Attorney Haddock /
for an opinion on that score. SIR.
Haddock was positive in saying that
an ordinance could be passed and sus-
tanned to regulate the business
The legal status Of the controver-
" over Sunday pictures was also
stated by the City Attorney. who was
,alled upon in that connection, TO the
Effect that should a petition be pre-
;enteG showing fifty per cent OF

hat respect then they may adopt an

Manager Harness has stated that
his endeavor was in petitioning for
Sunday pictures TO present improve
ments from time 10 time in the bus
mess in which he is engaged and ne
thought Sunday shows would help
him in that direction. They are con-
sidered proper in most of the coast
country. He would of course offer
shows appropriate for the day in ed
ucational and religious films. He
thought the criticism TO which his Of
ferings have been subjected unjust not
only as To the pictures but also as 10
the vaudeville shows. He always en-
deavors to get the best shows he can
but sometimes he gets poor ones.

RICHFIELD. Idaho. March 5.-An
old member of the Republican organi-
cation who attended the Democratic
meeting here was interested in the
statement of one of the speakers about
the increase of taxation in this State
and was about to swallow it when
an eld-timer reminded him that not so
very long ago there was no tax at all
levied in this part of the world except
that taken by the Indians and other
outlaws and the predatory wild ami
mails in fact he said, we had no gov
ernment at all and of course no ex-
pense until first the organization OF
the territory and then this splendid
state. But who. asked the old Repub

Gotch for Governor

is the slogan of the Iowa people,
especially those around Hum
boldt, Gotch's home. 1t might
look like a joke to some people
but the fact is that Gotch is a
fine business man. shrewd and
with a mighty good head. He
won and retained his champion
ship wrestling honors for the
reason that his brain worked
more quickly, methodically and
accurately than his opponents
and that a life of temperance
and abstinence lent itself to
proper coordination of muscles
and brain. 1t is two to one that
Gotch would make Iowa q good

MADE LAND.
Survey Shows 1SO4.S3 Acres
Heretofore Unplatted,
County Property?

Ben McCrum, working for the
county surveyor, A. F. Arlington
has finished his work on the
made land" along the Missouri
river. 1t has required several
months to get the land sur
.Veyed or plated. This is land
that has been formed by accre-
alton, the bold Missouri washing
down the land from other places
and piling it up in the form of
of islands or banks along the
side of the turbulent stream.
An island, known as EpperIy's
leland contains 1895 acres.
Part of this, about half, is under
active cultivation. 1t seems
that the county owns this land.
AS to the title of the rest of it,
this is what will be cleared up
afterward and it is probable
that there will be considerable
litigation before it is over.
Another plat of land is in
township 81 and range IT. This
contains 597.98 acres. Still
another lot is figured approx
at III acres, this being in town.
ship 81 and range 1S. The total
as said, reaches 1S04.83 acres,
including the Appropriated
tract which may make it a little
more or a little less. At any
rate it looks likeit will pay the
county when it has reclaimed
this estate and established the
title which may be determined by
eJectment proceedings from the
states attorneys cffice.

The Keytesville chautauqua
this year is a wonder in a finan-
cial way. Those who are ac-
The first day was rained out and
the tent blown partially down
by a tremendous storm. People
got wet and disheartened.
At that time the boosters were
$150 in the hole, that is, had
sold season tickets to the
amount of about 73 per cent
of the entire cost $3.50. This
made thing look blue. Friday
came and the amount went a
little toward the guarantee
sum. Saturday came with a big
crowd and over $40 was taken
in at the gate. This reduced
the Indebtedness to $50. On
Sunday enough was taken in to
put the Commercial Club to
the good on the guarantee and
all that was taken in in cash
Monday and Tuesday the two
big" days, was on the list of
velvet" for the Commercial
club and the association.
Brunswick went, it is said,
about $500 in the red side of
the ledger this season and it
appears there will be no chau-
tauqua there next year. Sails
bury has in times past also
fallen short on the finance end
tof their chautauqua, Keytes-
vile the first year came out
ahean of the game several dol
lars with a $500 program.
This year with a program cost
ling twice as much, it is again
coming out ahead, better than
lit did the first year. This is
Isome success and figures show
lit. Keytesville has had at least
three winners this year the
chautauqua, the ball club and
the band all of them showing a
record that beats any place in
the county.

storm.
One benefcent result Of the
blow and storm was the cooler
weather. Friday dawned cooler
and from that time on the
weather continued cool up to the
first Of this week when it began
to warm up again. The cooler
weather made it delightful for
the chautauqua people and made
driving by auto and rigs
decidedly more pleasant.
Tho windsand rain caused con-
siderable excitement at the
chautauqua tent. The speaker
had just about begun his talk
when the storm opened up.
Some got out of the. rain and
others remained until part of
the tent was down and the
manager ordered all hands out.
Then. all got wet. The chau-
'auqua people adjourned at
night to the Baptist church
where the evening program was

'fternoon the ground and tent
vas dry and the chautauqua
'ontinued as usual.

VISITED BY BIG STORM.
Heavy Wind and Rain Here
Thursday Trees Wrecked
Corn Injured

~ t'oRPCtiuk OI laL6. III was
twlster, q straight wind and sey
eral combinations, the result be
ing many blown-down trees an,
other damage. It seemed how
ever to have been the short en-,
Of a storm that ragged NOR,
violently in Kentucky, Illinoi
and other points resulting in tn,
death Of half a dozen at Joliet
ILL.,, and some causaIties in Ken
lucky as well.
The storm arose here about
$3.50 p. m. 1t commenced with q
windstorm from the southwest.
This was followed by a change
OF wind and it came from the
southeast. Most Of the damage
was done however by the west
wind and the trees laid in such a
manner as to indicate it. The
chief work Of the storm in the
city was to clear out the dead
wood and weak trees.
The rain fell in a sheet driven
by the wind. The streets soon
ran with water and the drainage
channel in the rear Of the
Charley White and Fidler place
:arried a volume of water re.
sembling the Musselfork. This
got some of Fidler's chickens
which were in the track of the.
food.
Another result Of the storm
was the injury to the corn. The
wind and hail both contributed
to laying out the corn some Of it |
lying fiat on the ground with the
leaves stripped and ragged on
account Of the hail. The corn,
at first hadlt. down. ,.a.sissas, as... i
siderabiy under the Ha0lllfying 1
influences of the sun and fine
weather but it is still injured to
some extent.
There was much damage to
fruit trees. Many trees loaded
with peaches were laid low.
Dan Holman's front yard was
criss-crossed and strewn with
the partial wrecks Of the big
locust, trees in the front yard.
Pat Thrash's house and front
yard was covered and Uttered
with trees, one big branch fall
ing on the house. Maple trees
fell ready victims to the wind
and trees generally bore the
brunt of the storm.
The electrical display was
alarming at times. The Baptist
church was struck, the bolt
hitting the cupola and following
to the ground at the front Of the
church. Splinters and parts Of
boards were thrown so or more
feet away from the building,
some plaster knocked off and
other slight disfigurements re-
suited. The course of the bolt
was easily traced, The lightn-
ing struck several places, one
being a big elm tree at the rear
Of j. w. Wayland's home the
bark and outer part Of the tree
being scattered for many feet
over the ground at the base Of
the tree. 81
It was reported at first that
Brunswick was badly damaged
by the storm but the entire af-
fair was not so bad as at first
reported. It seemed that the
damage there was very much
the same as it was here mostly
to trees. Several barns are re-
ported to have been damaged
and the telephone company as
usual was one Of the principal
sufferers, the wind and falling
limbs making plenty Of work for
the boyst look after.
AT night about 5 o'clock there
was another storm something Of
4 the same character but milder,
that showed up in the northwest,
A hard rain and plenty Of flightn'
ing but less wind characterized
this outburst. North Of her.
