Hoodlums Steal Flowers.

The Chieftain office is indebted 10
Mrs. c. A. Pinkham for handsome
large boquet of roses for which we
are grateful. They have graced the
editorial desk and their fragrance
has been exhilerating. Mrs. Pink
ham says that it is difficult 10 keep
these roses on the bushes any
length of time on account of num-
ber of hOOdluIns who seem to take
delight in stealing them. In view of
the number of similar complaints
from other residents it would seem
only meet and proper that this sort
of vandalism ought to be severely
punished. What is more eXasper-
ating than, after a lady has spent
much time, care and labor on a
flower bed in her front lawn or else
where, to have lot of boys slip in
at night and pluck them all merely
for the mischievousness of the thing.
Certainly the fellows who do this
are hOOdlums or else they would
not do it.

CHAUTAUQUA CLOSED;
MONEY IN TREASURY
This Years Session Success in Every
Way and Without Financial
Deficit-Sign for 1890

The Holly Chautauqua closed last
Saturday afternoon and evening
with splendid musical program,
though a high wind considerably
cut the attendance of the last pro-
grams.
The institution was success in
every way and closed with some
thing like 500 in the local tresury.
When it is considered that the
Chautauqua is not carried on as a
local mOney.making enterprise but
rather to furnish high class enter
tainment at cost, the guarantors are
elated at the fact that there is not a
deficit to meet.
Platform Manager w. w. Davis
had no difficulty in securing 20 or
30 signatures to guarantee u ses-
sion here again next year.

FOURTH DRIVE WILL START
NEXT WEEK IN EARNEST
Various Celebration Committees
To Hold Meeting Tonight to
Line Up for Big Show.

The Chautauqua is Over-it was a
success. even though the weather
was somewhat unfavOrable Satur-
day, the closing day-and now about
everything is out of the way for the
preliminary work for Holly's Fourth
of July celebration.
Some of the sport committees are
already "rarin to co. and have lin.
ed up tentative program.
1t is expected that the various
committees will have some idea of
about the amount of money neces
sary for their respective parts of the
celebration and that Immediately
following the meeting tonight
J. r. johnson, chairman of the fl
nance committee, will get out and
gather in the coin-and J. r. is a
go-getter-so that Holly will be able
to celebrate right this year. The
idea is to put on good program
and not little tight-Wad affair.
Albert Morich has been in com
municatiOn with Kansas City par
ties relative to an airplane flight as
one of the big features of the Holly
celebration, but as yet has been
unable to secure definite informa-
ton. 1t is already apparent, how
ever, that there is strong demand
for aviatOrs for the Fourth, but
there is yet time to secure bird
man if we keep after him.
Everyone of the committeeman
should be in attendance at to-
nights meeting.

Honorably Discharged from Navy.

Russell Bryce, son of Mr.. and Mrs
}. W. Bryce, who has been in the
naval service during the war, re-
ceived his honorable discharg.
from the service at Denver few
days ago and arrived home last Sat
urday. Young Bryce was a fireman
and was attached to the United
States Steamship Kansas. He made
six trips across the Atlantic during
his enlistment. Like all the rest of
the boys, since the war is over he is
glad to get out of the service. He is
visiting here at home for time but
has not decided what he will give
his attention to next.

UNIQUE TRIP MADE
AROUND THE WORLD"
Given by Defeated Side In Dorcas
Sunday School Glass Con-
test for Membership.

An unique trip around the
world" was given Tuesday night by
the losing side in the DOrcas Sunday
school class of the Presbyterian
church in "Trip to the moon con-
test for new members and atten-
dance at Sunday school.
The trip" began with brief bus
iness session of the class at the
church, after which the II ladies
who made this eventful pilgrimage
proceeded to the home of Mrs c. C..
Page, supposed to be America,
where the home was appropriately
decorated with flags and bunting
and the guests were served with
coffee and pimentO cheese sand
Wiches.
Mrs. Geo. w. Beams home repre-
sented Spain where the guests par
took of hot tamales and were en-
tertained by Mrs. Beams sister,
Miss Helen Sanders, who was attired
two delightful readings.
Mrs. John Schlager had arranged
her home to represent Italy where
she served spaghetti to the travel
erS.
Mrs. Harry Lee, as the represen-
tative of Holland in Dutch costume
and wooden shoes, dined her guests
on Dutch cheese balls. Her home
was appropriately decorated with
Dutch maidens, windmills etc.
Mrs. c. W. Hurd's home was on
the Oriental order and represented
China, where the guests were greet
ed by two Chinese maidens in eos
tune, and all sat on the floor and
ate rice with chop sticks.
At Mrs. f. ID. Shirleys everything
bore the resemblance of Japan and
tea and waters furnished the dainty
menu served by little japanese
maids.
The party then entered the north,
finding Iceland at the home of Mrs.
Jack House where ice cream and
cake were served.
The journey ended in Africa at the
home of Miss Mary Wright where
the evenings feast ended with a
course of bananas and fresh cocoa
nut.
Despite the heavy rain of the af-
ternoon and evening the ladies were
undaunted and made the trip on
foot and had very jolly time.
Many clever ideas were exeni-
plified in the various homes in imi-
tation of customs and life features
of the countries represented.

by Lower House.
FORTY-YEAR STRUGGLE
FINALLY GAINS TRIUMPH
Amendment Carries by Vote Of Sc to
rs, IS Republicans and 20 Demo
Gratis support Measure-17 Demo
Gratis and 8 Republicans Oppose.

Washington, June 5.-The battle
of more than 40 years for the sub
mission of the woman suffrage
amendment was won Wednesday
when the senate by the vote of Sc
to 25 passed the resolution which
passed the house Just two weeks
ago. The resolution now goes to the
legislatures for ratification.
The amendment was supported by
36 Republicans and 20 Democrats,
and opposed by u Democrats and
eight Republicans. 1t received two
more votes than were needed to
make the requisite two-thirds.
1t was exactly 5:25 p. III. when Sen
from the chair, made the announce
ment to the expectant crowds in
the galleries who had sat through
a teulous all-day debate waiting tor
the final vote to be taken
He SAID: This resolution has re-
ceived the affirmative votes of more
than two-thirds of the senate,
quorum being present, and is de-
ciared to have passed the senate in
accordance with the constitution
of the United States"
Wild applause from the galleries
followed the announcement and the
suffrage cohorts Immediately fled to
the steps of the capitol, where u
demonstration was staged and
where moving pictures of the suf-
frage leaders were taken.

Loses Suitcase and Legal Papers.

q. w. Shafer of Hartman came
down yesterday afternoon en- route
to Emporia, Kas. on business trip.
He arrived here some little time be
fore the departure of his train and
left his suitcase in the waiting
room of the depot while he went up
town. In the mean time a train
passed through town and some fel-
low, either maliciously or by mis-.
take took Mr. Shafer's suitcase. 1t
contained various notes and deed
to certain land. However, Mr.. Shat.
er has no idea who got his suitcase
and valuable papers.

Condition Daily Turns Peo.
pie Away from Holly.
NOT AN AVAILABLE PLACE
CAN NOW BE RENTED
Matter Resolves Itself Into Com
munity Adair-fact That Other
Towns Are In Similar Condition
Does Not Help Our Case At AL

What is Holly going to do about
the present serious scarcity of
houses? This is question asked
over and over again, but one for
which as yet no one has offered a
solution. The gravity of the stu
alton is indicated in the fact that
people are daily compelled to pass
Holly up rs permanent location
for either residence or business.
Moreover, this scarcity of resi-
dences is becoming serious in busi-
ness affairs. 1t is at this time utter
ly impossible for men, skilled Ia
borers or others, who may be called
here to work in stores or shops, to
secure rooms for light hOusekeep-
ing, much less residence to live in.
Here are two eases in point. Some
days ago Edward HaberstrOh, the
barber, secured q man to work in
his shop. He was a married man.
He and his wife were unable to find
any place to live outside of the no
tells. AS q consequence he left the
same day he came.
This week The Chieftain office has
had similar experience. After ad-
vertising and much telegraphing
linotype OpertOr was secured. He
with his wife and two small chill
dren arrived Tuesday morning and
after canyassing the town for a
greater portion of the day he could
not find house or rooms of any
sort rs an abode and necessarily
had to ,getuHsn4O Pueblo the same
day and the place on The Chieftain
is still untitled.
That there must eventually be a
reaction detrimental to business
interests of the town If this matter
does not receive some attention or
relief now appears probable. The
fact that other towns are having
similar difficulty does not help HOl-
ly's case. 1t has resolved itself into
community problem which must
in some way be adjusted by the COM
munity.
That building material prices are
at present comparatively prOhibi-
tive is a serious fact which only
adds to the discontinue of the pro-
position. But it is generally con-
ceded that il dozen new houses
were contracted for today in Holly
all could be rented within ten
days, to be occupied as soon as fin
ished, regardless of the rental price.
1t has been suggested that a mass
meeting of the citizens at an early
date might result in some tangible
solution of the problem, and also
that as a result of such a discussion
the Arkansas Valley Sugar Beet &
Irrigated Land Co. might be induc-
ed to build four to six room houses
on some of their numerous lots
about town for sale or rent.
The Chieftain will be glad to pub
lish anyone's plan for relief if they
win boil down their story and get
at the point of the matter at once.
Has any one anything to offer on
the subject?

Frost Does Little Damage.

A heavy frOst last Sunday night,
Judging from careful inquiry, did
but little damage in Prowers coun-
ty. The cold rain since Monday up
to Wednesday has been beneficial to
wheat and all other growing crops.
The temperature here from Sunday
night up until today has been de
cidedly cool and uncomfortable for
this late in the season. Slight hail
in some sections Monday is said to
have done no damage. The storm
appears to have extended from Den
yer to Dodge City, east and west
and a considerable distance north
and south.
