The EVENING
DAYS PROGRAM COMPLETED AS
THANKSGIVING LEFT
OF FEED But MEMORY.

Somewhere in the throng on Sec
ond street NE last night there was a
swirl OF dancers. Hardy youth braved
the chill and damp of the evening,
and the unfavorable conditions of
dancing on a pavement wet with
misty rain of the later afternoon, and
thrust through the %crowding sight
seers in an effort to follow something
OF a dance step to the music fur
nished by the band. Costumes and
masks were in evidence when one
could see the dancers. So pressing
was the urgency to see the dancers
that at times huddled humanity eff
f~ectually muted the blare of the band.
Managers attempted to restrain the
crowd from pressing In too close to
the music, and the band strove man
fully with red cheeks and popping
eyeballs to make their music heard
at distant places on the pavement.
Business for the entertainment and
serving committees slowed down con-
siderably after the supplies of grub
were exhausted late in the afternoon,
and the streets were reopened for We
hicles. 1t looked for a time as
though the later features of the day
would have TO be abandoned, as the
paving on Egan avenue was in no
wise fit for dancing. Normal gym
nasium was considered. But the
younger and warmer blooded of the
people insisted on a dance on the
paving, and it was decided to place
seats for a band, and install addition
al lighting in the block between Lee
and Lincoln avenues on Second street.
Meal was spread On the paving, seats
for the band were placed before the
sheriff's barn, and the layout was
ready. 1t may be remarked in pass

Press reports from time TO time
announced that the mex and last con-
tingent of the first draft of the ma

sent to the training camps on Octo-

The local board said today, however,
that they had received no official in
structions as to when they would
be required to forward the men. Up
to a late hour this afternoon they had
not sent out any notices for the men
to report. Unless a late mail today
brings them instructions, there will
be no notices sent out for that date.
Madison music lovers are eagerly
awaiting the occasion of the recital
by the Weber Male quartet. of New
York, in the Normal, auditorium to-
morrow night, October 10. This
quartet is composed of some of the
most noted voices of church and con-
cert work in the metropolis. They
have been together many years.
From that long association they have
arrived at that perfect accord and
control of voice and blending which
is so pleasing in music of this charac-
ter. Their repertoire of music is
wide, ranging from the old with its
memories, to the new with its differ
emit expression and sentiment. Ev-
erybody should take advantage of the
opportunity of this rare treat.

that of John Newman, a peddler,
who disappeared while going
from one farm house to another
one evening. He has never been

the neighborhood that he was
murdered. Joseph Clark was an
other victim. He was ssleeping
In q schoolhouse. He was traced
by streaN of blood to the creek
nearby but nothing further was
ever learned about him. Mrs.
Lacy Ann Boags was another
victim, her murder having occur

remark that she knew where
Henry Hargis was buried. Har-
gis was another Of the victims
whose death has long been
shrouded in mystery. Other
murders are spoken about in
Clay county and no one has ever
been convicted.
Others aside from the Samp-
sons are suspected of knowing
about the series Of murders and
a threatening notice has been
posted at various places in the
Booger Hole community, which
reads as follows:

Following Heated
Argument and Fight

Leigh, Neb., Feb. n.-(Special
Telegram. IA, mysterious death oc-
Cured here last night, when Fred
Duhwin died just after he had been
taken home by Fred Paulsen, a
friend. Duhwin and Paulsen had
been in town during the day, and
Duhwin and another farmer, George
Elsner, got into heated argument
over the crisis with Germany. Duh
win was very emphatic in expressing
sympathy with Germany, and this
wound up in hstic encounter on
the street later in the evening.
Duhwin and Paulsen took lunch at
local eating house and then pro-
ceeded home. On the way Duhwin
bled profuscly and lay down in the
vehicle when they reached the Paul
sen home, two miles southeast of
this city. Duhwin was very i'll and
had to be carried ir..o the house. He
died soon after being seated in a chair.
A local physician turned the case
over to the Platte county authorities.
Duhwin was about 2o years old and
single. He had been employed on a
farm near here. -ess-4

University Students Visit
The Updike Flour Mill

Prof. Leland Lewis, head of the
chemistry department at the Univer-
sity Of Omaha, took his food chem
istry classes and the domestic science
girls through the Updike -four mill
Saturday. Mr.. Dean Yohe, the chief
chemist Of the concern, showed the
students through every department of
the mill. First he let them see how
the wheat is converted into -four by
the mechanical processes. Later he
took them to the laboratory and ana
lyzed sample Of flour for the var
ious constituents Of the cereal. Then
he played the part Of a baker and
made some bread to test the bread
making qualities Of the different
flours. While the bread was baking
he showed them how to test for
poisons, such as nitrites, in the -four.
The final demonstration consisted in
testing the finished bread with refer
ence to texture, color and weight.
