A BREACH OF
PROMISE CASE
Prominent Citizens Charged
With Trifling With a
Widows Affections.

For some time, it is alleged,
one of our prominent citizens
has paid more or less attention
to q young and beautiful widow
of this town forgetting or at
least not needing the advice of
the immortal Mr.. Weller to his
son Samuel to beware Of the
vidders.''
He now claims that he was
not serious in his intentions and
that he was not attached to her,
but however that may have
been the widow became attach
ed to him, and as he seems to
have lost interest in the matter
she has attached his property,
which is q form of attachment
that he does not enjoy.
The result is, that he finds
himself the defendant in a first
class Breach of Promise Case
and his questionable attitude
towards the widow viii! be Civ
en- an airing in the near future.
The parties in the case are SO
prominent that it is feared NO
court room will hold the vast
crowd DESTROYS of attending
the trial, SO it will he held in
the K. C. Hall, on Wednesday
evening, April 18th, under the
auspices of the Improvement
League of Missouri Valley, for
whose benefit the proceeds will
be devoted.
In other words, it will be a
mock Court Trial, and it pro-
misses to be one of the most en-
! joyable affairs Of many years,
as q large number of our lead.
ing people will participate in
the proceedings.
The committee having the
trial in charge have engaged
Col. A. V. Newton, the we'll
known lawyer lecturer Of Wor-
cester, Mass, to attend to the
details and personally conduct
the entertainment.
Col. Newton has had remark
able success in conducting SINH
lar entertainments and without
doubt the Breach of Promise
trial will be here, as elsewhere,
an event long to be remembered
with pleasure.

Treble clef Concert

/ Of this city was presented last
evening, when that organiza.
ton gave their fifteenth annual
musical program for the public,
in the K. G. hall. The stage
was beautifully decorated, pink
green and white furnishing the
color schemes. Two large fan
trelIis covered with green foil
age and pink roses were sta
toned at either side of the
stage. Festoons of smilax were
strung across the front and
around the walls. producing q
very pretty effect. Potted
palms were banked across the
front. The first number on the
program was the Barber Of
Seville" played bv Mrs. w. j.
Booher, Mrs. X X. Huntsinger
and Miss Dollie Hardy. The
ladies rendered the selection
perfectly. Miss Mabel Elderly
then directed ten little girls,
who gave a pretty little sun
beam drill. The Treble Clef
then sang a cycle of four love
poems-by Ethelbert Nevin, with
Mrs. r. G. Hills directing. The
Clef did splendid work on this
selection and they received
hearty applause. Their second
number was the cantata "A
Midsummer Night" by Paul
Bliss, which was in a lighter
vein, but in their rendition of
some parts of it, many hours of
hard work were shown. A splen-
did number on the program
was the Beautiful Rosemary"
violin, viola, cello and piano by
Mr.. Will Hetherington of Oma-
ha, MIR. Felix Spirks of Omaha,
Miss Sayde Briggs and Mrs. G.
F Nichols. That they appreci-
ated the number was evidenced
fby the fact, that they were
forced to respond to three en-
cores. MIR. Hetherington and
MIR. Spirks of Omaha are very
talented musicians and the
Clef were fortunate in having
their assistance in the concert
Miss Mary Deur proved herself
to be master of the harp when
she rendered the difficult "Ma-
zurka." Miss Nell South in her
gracious manner gave a splen-
did rendition of "Meditation."
Mrs r. C. Hills and Mrs. N. B
Spafard accompanied by the
orchestra, sang beautifully I'll
Trovatore," much to the delight
of the audience. Mrs. Hills &C.
companied sang her part of the
duet in the gallery so that an
echo effect was produced. Be-
fore the two cantatas were
sung By the Clef, Mrs. A. H.
Sniff gave story of each in a
pleasing way.
The Clef ladies feel especially
indebted to Mr.. H. E. Atherton
and the Ideal Bakery for their
kindness in lending the palms
for the decorations. Mrs. H.
A Newton, Miss Dollie Hardy
and Mrs. Guy Mahoney did
their share in making the con-
cert a success in the decorating
committee. Much credit is also
due Mrs. CT Nichols and Mrs.
r C Hills both of whom have
worked faithfully all year on
, the cantatas.

How We Made Cocoa Good
for Children

Lowney's is q correctly
balanced cocoa-neither
too rich for easy digestion
nor too clean" for full fla

Lowney's Cocoa is made
from the roasted centers
of fully ripened cocoa
beans-with nothing add

If you have ever tasted
Lowney's you'll agree that
pure cocoa beans ne. d no

Lowney's has always

Pure Foods.
That is why Lowney's

What, we ask, does the state board
Of accountancy do? We don't mean
what are its duties, but we would
like to know wherein 1t accomplishes
its purpose. We presume it's object,
or one of them at any rate. Is to de-
tect shortages or dishonesty of pub
lie officials and state employees. II
SO 1t must have been sleeping On the
Job when the $4,000 were stolen
from the industrial insurance depart
ment. Why didn't 1t find the short
age when thousands Of dollars were
defaulted from the Spokane county
clerks once? Or why didn't 1t de-
tect the shortage in the city OF Spo-
kane? For what purpose is an army
of employees drawing eight dollars
per day? To one looking on 1t looks
Is II the state board Of accountancy
needs checking up, overhauled and
renovated, that the taxpayers may
get some returns from the money
being spent In this way.

Crooks in Public Affairs.
(DavenDort Tribune.)

And now It seems that the indus
trial insurance department. Of which
the people of the state are Justly
proud, has not escaped the grafter's
touch, but shortages aggregatfng
$4,000 are reported. 1t seems i'm
possible to keep crooks out Of public
affairs. And 1t seems also that pub
lie money is more easily stolen. Such
things are always regrettable but re-
grets do not bring the money back.
and while defaulters are caught and
punished, some times, there are
always others ready to take advan-
tage of careless methods used In pub
lie affairs, by those who occasionally
get a position of trust, but who are
not competent or are lax In their
methods.

twaddle about the traditions of the
fathers" They have proven them
selves-again / must say, SO far as
they have gone-to be dynamic
force, and they have dared to invade
new fields of governmental endeavor
regardless of sundry and diverse for
bidding signs. Upon the weaker
members, the falterers and half
hearts, the skim-milk doing it's Gus
tomary parade in the panoply of full
cream, the reactionary interests have
bent their influence and not without
some measure of results. Neverthe-
less, the Democrats-so far as they
have gone, If must set 1t down once
again-have made good. But, aha.
my friends, there is ever a but-the
Democrats are on trial If ever they
were in their blessed lives. The con-
ditions that they found and which
they have encountered were and in
deed have been most extraordinary
and they have thus far come through
the rocky way in a manner to make
any faint heart perk up with unwont-
ed bravery. Taking measure of the
immediate past, considering the rela-
tive excellence Of our present status,
and contemplating the future of stu
pendous possibilities and promise, we
have reason for finding ourselves in
stalwart courage and fine feather.

Take Care of Farm Tools.
mason Co. Journal.)

Our correspondent makes refer
ence to certain county tools and road
machinery lying exposed to the
weather in his section and we are in
clined to think that the same condi-
ton will be found in nearly all parts
OF the county. Neither the county
nor the farmer can afford to let ma
chinery and tools rest where they
were last used until they are wanted
again. Without question iron or
wood will deteriorate and their value
thus earlier be destroyed and new
required. While road supervisors
may not be on the job at this time Of
the year their last work should be
gathering up the tolls and putting
them under cover.

If so, much will be done to aid in tho

partment Of chemistry has furnished
samples of various concentrates Of the
