Der of Commerce into one crganiza.
ton on the basis of an election of
all the officers of the new organization
and the enlargement of the executive
Committee was probably killed la-t
night when the Business Mems
-eague by resolution declared it was
unwilling to permit a change in its
officers at east during the present
terms. W
President NJ. A. Eisele was in the
chair, and Walter Ebel served as sec
rotary in the absence of Mr. Bedding.
Mr.. Eisele stated the object Of the
meeting, which was for the purpose
Of approving or rejecting an agree
ment which the officers of the League
had entered into with the officers of
the Chamber of Commerce looking to
a merger of the organizations. He
said that for a long time he had be-
lieved that conditions were most ia
vorable to a good business here If
there was a united effort, and he had
invited the board of governors of the
Chamber Of Commerce to meet and
discuss a Joint advertising campaign.
or a merger OF the organizations. He
told OF the agreement for merger
that grew out Of the meeting held
and presented the matter to the
League fer action
Acting Secretary Ebel read the
resolution which had been acquiesced
in by all those who had gathered at
the meeting Friday evening, and at
which meeting there was a we known
and undisputed agreement that the
agreement was to have the sigma
lures Of those present to carry full
weight of the terms with the com
munity
Mr. Laser said that once before n
similar proposal had been made to
the League and had failed He said
the members of the League opposed
the change before. and he believed it
would do so AGAIN He opposed any
Thing that would lead to the resigna-
ton of the officers of the League, and
moved that the resolution of agree
ment presented from the joint meet
ing be rejected.
w w. Waters said he was a party
to the agreement and he believed in
one organization, but that there had
aeen apparently an effort to defeat
George r. Bedding for secretary, and
that he would not consent to any
thing that had such a trend. He said
he believed that we should select the
most capable men for all public posi-
tons and that n mistake would be
made in defeating Beldins He said
Mr. Bedding had no equal in the state,
and he read a letter from Governor
HAYS in which the governor said he
had heard of the proposed merger

strong blues prove to be most success
full. The only safe way to choose is
to experiment with shades and tones
OF the different colors and select that

The great liking for gold and silver

make it easy for the milliner to pro-

the hands of the expert specialist they
have been worked up into hats that
are the envy of youth.

shoot down these in their path that
they reached the prison gate before

The desperadoes had taken the

sheltered themselves by holding

fired by guards in the yard hit the

Outside the gate, the men seized
the horse and buggy of Warden Dick

death by pursuing guards.
One of the convicts fought to the

onward until felled by bullet.
