There is not much going on in the
social world in Nauvoo now, but the
women folks here have been kept
very busy along with their Christ
mas shopping and preparations
which absorbs the greater part OK
nearly every Nauvoo woman's time

to the world conditions the holidays

former seasons Then again, many
women are engaged in the several

Ben Koechli, Earl Martin and Emil
Newton of Nauvoo were in Carthage
the forepart Of the week where they
had their questionable blanks filled
out. There are sixteen pages in the
bunch of blanks received by the
drafted men. Attorneys appointed
by the government officials are as
sisting the men to fill the blanks
free of any cost to them. In Carthage
those who are aids in missionaries
are Lawyers A. w. OHarra, Samuel
Naylor and Lee S%iebenborn. These
gentlemen were selected by the pro
per government officials for Hancock
! county.
, The Nauvoo canning factory stock
holders were called in meeting last
Wednesday afternoon to attempt to
decide as to what disposition should
be made of the plant and the fatter-
ing offer Of the Mt. Sterling, Ill.,,
business lea to them. There was
quite a large attendance at the meet
ing. There was nothing definite
! lone about the matter, but 1t is be-
lieved that the factory will remain
in Nauvoo for another year at least.
Nauvoo's Household Science club
met at the beautiful and comfortable
home Of Mrs. c. j. Baxter last Tues
day evening and the meeting proved
to be Of much interest to all who
ayailed themselves of the opportunity
to attend.
Business in Nauvoo has not been
rushing just before the holidays as
has been the custom in former years.
People seem to begin shopping ear
lier every season in this burg which
enables them to get a better selec-
ton. Nauvoo business men are not
complaining much this year.
The marriage Of John Nestle and
Josie Reed will take place tomorrow,

The happy couple will continue 10

The Hancock county, Illinois, board
! of supervisors have allowed a pen
sion to one resident in this county on
account of being afflicted with blind
ness. The law of this state allows a
pension to persons suffering disabil-
ity in certain cases. Nauvoo has one
individual who should have received
! the pension some time ago and 1T is
a well deserved case, too.
Only five percent of the soldier
boys at Camp Dodge, Iowa, will be
allowed a furlough during the Christ

duration. The Nauvoo boys will not
likely come home for the time is too
short to visit their relatives in the
old Mormon town. Most of the time
would be consumed in going and
coming.

Company M May Get
Full $500 From City

Although the city council voted to
expend 5000 for the entertainment OF
the boys of Company M while in the
city Saturday, the patriotic women OF
the city figured they would take the
matter in hand and do their share And
they furnished so ample a supply of
fine home cooking including plenty of
candy for the boys that when the fig
uring was done as to the expense of
giving the banquet including several
invited guests, it was found that the
total expense was only $l4. 1t was also
figured that 100 plates were served.
The city council having voted the
5000 for the boys were still of the
mind last evening that the amount was
at the disposal of the company and au-
thority was voted to send the 5000 to
the company not for the mess fund,
but for the company fund. This amount
with $14 more was forwarded today
by the Rev. James Elvin to Captain
J. R. Neer. 1t seems the mess fund of
the company has in its treasury about
$500. Hence the 5000 was sent to be
placed in the company fund. Mess fund
money can only be used for the mess,
but company money may be used as
needed

Electrical Operators Strike
Negotiations Nearing Crisis

San Francisco, Oct. 24.-The crisis
in the negotiations looking to averting
the strike of electrical workers and
the telephone operators on the Pacific
coast, will be reached tomorrow fol-
lowing the arrival tonight of Seattle
girls representing the telephone opef-
ators of Oregon and Washington. The
girls are coming at the suggestion of
Mortimer Fleischacker, federal media
tor, in order that their demands for
union recognition might be fully set
forth.
Judge Morgenthaler, district presl-
dent of the electrical workers union, re-
iterated today that any settlement with
the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph
company must be contingent on recog-
milton of the girls union. If 10 agree-
ment is reached by Saturday midnight,
it is believed the general strike order
recently issued will be put into effect.
Simultaneously With these develoI-
ments, Morganthaler declared soday
that the telephone operators G: San

they must participate in any agreement
re fhed.

it is pleasure it is not necessity, and will most likely
be of the first things to be cut out in the interest Of

falling off in attendance AS showing the vastness Of
small things in aggregate it is expected that the ten
per cent tax admissions to the movies will yield the
government $6000O000. If this is correct the United
States pays out yearly for movie tickets $6O0OO00OO
