Storm Lake, Ia, Dec. Edward
Ball, football coach at Buena Vista
college. and Miss Fern Benedict were
drowned at Storm Lake this after
noon when the ice on which they
were skating gave way. Several
score persons helplessly watched the
couple drown after efforts of fellow
skaters to rescue them had failed.
Balls home was at Valparaiso, In
diana.
The foregoing dispatch, which ap-
peared in yesterdays dailies brought
sadness to this community, where
Prof. Edward G. Ball last year held
the position of instructor in agricul-
ture and manual training in the pub
lie schools. He was also coach of
the high school football team and
took leading part in all school ath-
letics. During the nine months he
spent in Nezperce he made many
warm friends, especially among the
young folks with whom he was prin-
cipally associated.
He was % years of age and un-
married.
That the dispatch refers to him is
known by several of his local friends
who had corresponded with him at
S orm Lake, and with whom he was
planning on spending the Christmas
holidays.

Nezperce's Pioneer Firm Closes.

After fourteen years of successful
business operations, The Felt Mer-
camille Co. closes its doors Saturday
night forever, in a blaze of mercan-
tile glory, due directly to the untir-
ing efforts of manager C. w. Felt,
who has been the prime factor in this
firms success.
Mr.. Felt leaves during the coming
week for st. Joseph, Mo-, to make
a final settlement with the Wheeler
& Motter Co, +, who are the other
patners in the business. Should Mr..
Felt arrange to purchase this firms
interest, he will return to Nezperce
and resume operations under new
firm name. No details are forth
coming as to the disposition of the
business should the Wheeler-M Motter
people assume the management, but
it is known they will arrange to con-
tinue the business in Nezperce under
different management.
Inventory will be commenced in
the store Monday morning, and the
establishment will remain closed for
few days in order to allow the work
of listing the stock to proceed with
out interruption. Thursday morning,
Dec. 10, the store will reopen for
business the same as usual, and con-
tinue until the final settlement be-
tween the partners is arranged.

CONGRESS ASSEMBLIES
FOR MIGHTY TASK

FOR MIGHTY TASK
President Message Read Tuesday; Bring.
Surprises and Strikes the
Popular Chord
Washington, Dec. 7.-President
Wilson, $ message, read to the house
and senate today, was received with
rapt attention ard punctuated with
frequent out-bursts Of applause.
Frequent demonstrations of ap-
proval greeted the presidents decla-
ration of the manifest duty Of Amer
ica to remain "studiously nuetral'
toward the warning nations abroad,
his assertion of friendship for Mex
leo, his urgent recommendations for
an increased merchant marine, the
suggestion Of legislation for fur her
ing the interests of the people of the
Philippines and Porto Rico and his
recommendations for increasing gov
eminent revenues.
But chief attention conferred about
the delineation of the plans for ma
tional defense, the proclamation of
Pan-Americanism and the severity
of the President toward Americans
who, he said, had brought the good
name Of The government into con-
tempt. He delivered his denunci-
alton in crisp phrases, and congress
men seemed to hang on every word.
Cheers rose from every part of the
hall when he concluded it, and the
demonstration reached its climax
when the president urged the en-
actment of laws to purge the nation
of its internal peril.
While the presidents outline for
the administration plan for the army
and navy passed without ripple of
applause, and his references to Pan
Americanism we're only punctuated
with evidences of approval, republic
cans and democrates alike joined in
an emphatic demonstration at his
words of condemnation for those he
assailed so unreservedly as secretly
plotting against American neutrality.
There was rapt attention through
out and members generally comment
ed favorably on the message. Re-
publicans, however, and some demo-
Gratis opposed some ofthe presidents
suggestions for increasing revenues.
His concluding suggestion relating
to an inquiry into railroad laws was
received with interest. Administra-
tion leaders already had undertaken
to carry out the proposal.
Keen interest in the presidents $ ad-
dress was shown by the foreign rep
resentatives in the diplomatic gal
leries, where every embassy and
legation was represented. All ap-
peared pleased with the message,
and the Latin Ameaicans expressed
special qualification over the refer
ence to an-Americanism
