Entertainment and Box Social

UEt0luuNGut 0uu OOA 0OC104
An entertainment and box supper
were given under the auspices Of Keota
base ball team on Wednesday evening.
The schoolhouse was well filed with
country, town, and city folks.
L. F. Murphy. Of Denver, favored
the audience with selections from
Shakespsare's Hamlet" and Julius
Caesar; then in order to amuse the
children he gave very laughable Dutch
reading. Mr.. Murphy was formerly
superintendent Of public schools at
Burlington Junction. No., and IL deeply
interested In all educational enterprises.
Marjory Dodder recited "We'n Make
Great Hullaballoo" in . way which
showed careful training; and little
jessie Short told "What Sallie Ats,"
and how it effected her, in . very pleas
ing manner. Mrs. C. O. Dodder proved
her interest in baseball games by recit-
ing an appropriate piece for ball season.
Zwingle NJ. Creel sang The Road That
Leads to Happiness Leads Back to
Home Sweet Home" and a. an encore,
the charming Irish melody, ''When !
Dream of Old Erin I'm Dreaming Of
You" '.Ths Swallow" an English
version Of the Mexican song "La Col
ondrina" by Narciso Serradell, was
sung by Fac Stanley. Keota's new or
chestra Of four pieces played in public
for the first time, the selection being
Mendelssohn's Consolation
At the close Of the program twelve
or fifteen decorated boxes filled with all
kinds of good things to eat we're sold to
the highest bidders; Mr.. Murphy acting
as auctioneer. ISL
Disregarding the physiological rule to
avoid any violent exercise directly after
meals, the young people played out-of-
door running games until almost mid
night.
The ball team cleared nice sum Of
money NEEDED for starting up this sea-
son; and those present spent very en-
joyable evening.

Hospital


Melvin Wertz, the nins-ysar-old son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. John Wsrtx Of Keota,
il in NcLain's Hospital at Saint Louis.
No., receiving chiropracric treatments
for infantils paralysis. Although for .
year and half Melvin has been unable
to use his lower limbs, his doctors
promise to have him walking on crptch-
% in six weeks time, and entirely
cured within six months. Two years
ago Melvin was bright little first
grader, and it has bsen \ sad disap-
pointment to his schoolmates that he
has not been able to be with them
since. Through all his sickness he has
kept cheerful, and now the association
with other children who ATE growing
we'll and strong in the hospital gives
him great hope Of his own recovery.
It il said that he smiles when an inmate
using crutches calls on him; but he is Of
% sympathetic nature that tears fill
his eyes whenever he sees one who can
not take . step.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wertz returned from
st. Louis on Thursday Of last week.
Their friends join them in wishing for
their sons recovery and his return
home to Keota.

WHEN vows WERE COMMON
Some Of the Most Strange, and to This

are not more extraordinary than the
VOWS which in the middle ages and in
similar periods we're made, not by IA
natics merely, but by the greatest fig
ures in civic ald national civilization
by kings. judges, poets and priests.

County Com. Fined
by Kangaroo Court

One OF the commissioners of Grady
county has been fined-and he has
paid his fine like little man and
kept beautifully silent about it.
The story. in a nutshell is this. A
few afternoons ago this particular
county commissioner visited the
county Jail on an Inspection tour. He
went unaccompanied by other commits
sioners and went to find out how
things were run on the inside by those
locking C't. En- route to the interior
OF the jail, the commissioner stopped
over in the office of the sheriff. And
on the walls OF this office he saw sew
eral pictures and one sign. This sign
was an attractive one 1t said IF
you spit on the floor at home, spit on
The floor here-we want you to feel
at home
After thoroughly digesting the
meaning of the sign the commissioner
tuary of the Jail. With the assistance
Of Jailer Dryden he gained access 10
the cages wherein are kept the cage
men Of the county. And thcrein he
locked about while he absently minded
chewed and chewed and chewed On
the bite of old hillside with which he
had fortified himself But it was not
in an absent-minded manner that he
unloaded his mouth, EIe did this IN
tontionary, mindful of the attractive
sign on the walls Of the outer room of
the jail
And stra;ehtway kangaroo court
was convened in due and regular and
ancient fern and the county commits
sioner was hailed before its bar There
he was advised that the rules of the
outer office did not apply in the inner
sanctum. Even whisky might be kept
in the outer office. Int it was posi-
lively forbidden in the inner rooms.
This being the case, how could he ex-
pect to flood the neat iron floor of the
case with tobacco juice and escape
unwhipped of justice.
Defendant was denied counsel and
was given his choice Of paying fine
Of twenty-five cents or receiving
twenty-five good honest blows on the
caboose sections OF his neither gar
ments. The twenty-five cents fine
was paid.
Who was it? Well. Commissioner
Jim Robinson has proven an alibi; SO
has Commissioner Corzine. Commits
sioner Bryant has not been inter
viewed.

FIGHT AGAIN
FOR BALLOT
(By .. P. staff correspondent.) J


WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 16.-In
the hundreds of congressional dis
tricts in the United States today, the
women are in convention framing
their local fights to pledge Democratic
and Republican national convention
delegates to favor national suffrage
pIanks in the party platforms
These local conventions are under
the general national direction of Mrs.
Medill Mccormick Of Chicago. an Off
cial of the National American Woman
Suffrage association. The suffragists
IN each district will pledge their sup
port to pro-suffrage delegates. Much
time will be spent interviewing candi-
dates. In states where national party
delegates are chosen by state conven-
ton, the suffragists will concentrate
upon pro-suffrage county delegates.
'Suffragists in every state in the
union" said Mrs. Mccormick, 'will
make it point to have big demonstra.
tons in the home town of every can
didate for the house or the senate
This campaign launched today is but
the minor prelude to the big fight we
are going into for national suffrage
this winter" N
