The venison supper at the Baptist
church was a great success in spite
of the great drawback from the bad
weather. 1t was first postponed from
Tuesday night as it was absolutely
impossible then for any one to ven
tire out. Wednesday night was not
much better and so the supper was
given on Thursday night. The Fish
pond was an amusing feature in con
nection with the supper which gave
those who tried it some most surpris-
ing fish. The net proceeds will be
over $4,000.

Senator Feeds His
 Flock by Clock

DOVER. Del. Aug S.-About twenty years ago a little boy lay on the ground beneath a tree on q farm in lower Delaware and made a resolve that when he grew to be a man he was going to be one farmer who took life easy
 That boy was little "Ol" Newton who is now Senator Newton. one of the most prosperous farmers of Delaware, whose 32o-acre farm near Bridgeville is a model of what a farm should be
 Senator Newton has devised scheme which has been in use on his farm for several years. whereby the livestock on his estate is fed and watered by clockwork.
 \ clock in his bedroom feeds the mules. horses and cattle at the same minute every day. The feed is placed the night previous over the feeding bins of each animal and at feeding time the clock r2- leases a spring, which in turn pulls a wire that releases a lever at the barn. and every shutter drops and the animals can start on their morn ing meal

Gold Bar Stock
 Case Is Decided

The supreme court of the State of Washington has decided the case of the Dexter Horton bank ys. F. G.. Moves, in which they were suing for the stock of the Gold Bar Lum- Der company, in favor of the former,
 The court was of the opinion that the stock was placed in the bank for the purpose of securing an over draft. while the contention of the receiver was to the contrary; that it had been placed there as a place of safe-keeping.
 Something like a year ago the Dexter-Horton bank foreclosed on the stock and at the sale it was bought in for the sum of SlOO,ooo.
 This decisson winds up the bank matter with the exception of the suit to be started by de Journel against Webster. Parsons and SchralN which will be filed some time thls mOnth
