He Kept HIS Promise.

While closing down his desk for
Christmas after a busy day. Robert l..
Steiner whose office is i'm the Ran
dol hotel, picked up his check book
and wrote out an order upon his
banker to pay the sum of $4,000 TO
widow Hastily the check was fold
ed, placed in an envelope sealed and
lmailed. He then left instructions that
every girl in the Ardmore telephone
office should be remembered, gave a
suit of clothes to a man who has been
his friend and stepped out OF his Of
flee just at train time and left for
Dallas to spend Christmas with his
wife and babies
How such a sum as $4,000 came to
be given is about like this: Mr.
Steiner stood at the dying bedside of
a brother-in-law, as the man who was
not only his relation but who had
been his good friend breathed his last
Bob Steiner told him he would see
that his widow never lacked for the
necessities of life Steiner is not
man who is always rich. Sometimes
he is up and sometimes down. But
there has never been time since he
made that promise at the bedside OF
his good friend when he has not been
able to place as much as 500 month
in the hands of the woman he prom
ised to support. 1t cut deep into his
earnings to fulfill the promise many
a time but this Christmas found him
with a nice bank account and he gave
her sum which she can invest and
let it earn the sum he has heretofore
been giving her Bob Steiner did not
mean for the story to get to the press,
he never intended tnat il should be
published but there is so much of
goodness in II, there is so much of the
Christmas spirit in it tnat We have
been tempted to violate the rules we
usually follow and tell the story.
Here is hoping that Robert l.. Stein,
er will be living next Christmas and
that he may even have much more of
this worlds goods to bestow upon
others

producers upon the handsome Christ

and for taking Healdton out of the

PRECEDENT WILSON.

A large thrOng was at the de-
pot this morning to greet Presi-
dent and Mrs. Wilson. The train
stopped at the depot about five
minutes and during the time the
president jollied with the crowd,
but refused to make any sort Of
"a speech. Mrs. Wilson appeared
on the rear platform with her
husband and was greeted with
hearty cheers. Upon her APP
pearances the president said that
constituted the entire firm. The
president appeared as fresh as
could be and his proverbial smile
was greatly in evidence. He
seemed to appreciate the fact that
so many had gone to the depot
despite the statement that the
railroad officials had constantly
maintained that his train would
rot stop. The crowd was in rare
good humor and all seemed to feel
that an honor had been conferred
on this city by having the presi-
dent stop. Missouri Valley APP
preciates the honor which will be
shown when the votes are counted
in November.

sTEcHER THROWS HokuFF
AFTER HARD CONTEST

York, Neb., Oct. 4.--The York
autumn festival was enlivened
here today by one of the best
wrestling matches that has ever
been pulled off in the state. Joe
IStecher, champion of the world,
was the big drawing card. His
opponent was Bill Hokuff, the
Omaha hercules. He gave Stecher
one of the most terrific battles of
his brilliant career, staying in the
first bout for twenty-one min
utes and fifteen seconds, and in
the second eleven minutes and
thirty seconds.
The champion acknowledged
this evening that it was one of
the toughest fights he has ever
had, and that there is no man
living who can put Hokuff down
in shorter time than it took him
to turn the trick this afternoon.
The first fall was with the full
Nelson and body lock and the sec
ond a half scissors and half Nell
son.
The match took place in the
chautauqua pavilion and was
witnessed by grand crowd of
over 1000, and York has Ger
tainly taken her place on the map
of live cities. Sandy Griswold

Beloit arrived for q visit with
their father, John Colenso.
A newspaper reporter from the
Omaha News came up this morn
ing to meet President Wilson'S
special train. He had expected to
so to Boone in answer to mes
sage sent him by Secretary Tu-
multy, but the train he was TO
have taken was. so late that he
came to the Valley instead. Think
ing tho train would not stop here
he made a rush for it with his
travelling bag, trying to jump on.
He missed his footing and but for
the timel yaid of Marshal Beagle
and other men his feet would both
have been cut off. After straight
ening himself up he waited until
the last coach came along and
tried another jump, which also
nearly proved disastrous. The
train dragged him about twelve
feet before it stopped. Perhaps
this experience will teach him to
be more careful next time.

Graham could not let them go.
He was not to blame, as many
have thought.
