IN MEMORIAM

wish to dedicate this to my
beloved friend, Alice Louise Elk
lor, who was taken from us on
the night of January 81, 1889:
FRIENDS
Friends are such funny things,
Some people say and think.
But l do not agree with them,
In such a foolish thing.
We met as strangers at a party,
And, oh, we did have fun.
We kept a-giggling and a-laugh-
ing,
And finally ended up as one.
We went around together,
And travelled as comrades do.
We had our scraps and fuses,
But, naturally, all friends do.
Why did you have to leave me?
Oh, why did you go away?
You know l love and miss you,
And wish you were here today.

time it seemed that the Maine re-
belled at the end. The front por-

motion became weaker and
weaker. At every movement of

lower. 1t finally sank in 20

the sinking of the battleship
Maine in Havana harbor, many
of whose victims are buried in
the Maine Plot of the City Gene

will remember the excitement of
the time.
A copy of the Havana Post
Maine supplement of 1912, own
ed by Pressy Weatherford, who
resides at Caroline and Elizabeth
streets, recalls the high excite

few miles off Key West the

Havana January 2, 1898, through
its captain, c. D. Sigsbee, whose
daughter is now married to An
ton Otto Fischer, well-known il
illustrator, both of whom are now
residing in Key West.
The Spanish cruiser King Ale
fonso XIII was in Havana harbor
and all official courtesies were
exchanged between the ships.
Captain Sigsbee, however, said
that the Spaniards ashore appear
ed sullen and salutes by Spanish
soldiers were apathetic over this
friendly visit" of the Maine.
The night of Feb. Is every of

$40 p. m. there was a great
crashing roar which shook houses
on shore as if there were an

TO SPONSOR
PLAY HERE
Business Girls Club to Bring
Eveleth Dramatic Group to
Ely January Fl.

Something new in theatrical enter
tainment will be offered local people
Saturday evening, January Il, when the
dramatic department of the Eveleth
junior college will come here to enact
the play might of January 18TH" in
Washington auditorium.
Sponsored by the Ely Business Girls
Club as benefit for projects prompted
by the group, the play features a court
room scene in which II jurors selected
from the audience hear and see testi-
mony and render verdict.
Was Bjorne Faulkner killed on the
night of January 10Th or is he still
alive when Karen Andre is put on trial
for his murder? That is the point
that must be decided by the jury from
evidence that is so evenly divided that
verdicts of guilty or not guilty are poss-
ible.
AS they purchase tickets to the play,
patrons may leave their names as can
didates for jury duty. Just preceding
the start OF the show the clerk of court
draws II names from drum and these
persons take their places in the jury
box
The play, given by a dramatic group
that has established a reputation on
the range, is one that creates consider
able comment. A tabulation of verdicts
during the time it ran on Broadway
shows that acquittals outnumbered
convictions three to one.
Jurors will be rewarded with the re-
funding of their price of admission.
Revenue obtained will be used to carry
on the local clubs student loan project,
girl scout campship and other activities.
Ruth Wilson is chairman of the
committee in charge, assisted by Ger
trude Mattala, Tyne Suoja, Mary Turk,
Athena Kotchevar and Vienna Somero.

Local Committee Plan Several
New Features for "Sports
Festival" Feb. 1912.

Preliminary plans for Ely'S Winter
Sports Festival were discussed at q
meeting of the executive committee held
last Thursday evening, and the date for
the affair set for Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday, Feb. 10, II and IL.
The name of the event, sponsored by
the Commercial club, has been changed
from winter snow jubilee to winter
sports festival.
The festival will follow last years
program closely, with several new
features added. Chief among them will
be an amateur show scheduled for the
last evening of the affair with suitable
prizes being offered winners. Any
amateur entertainer or entertainers will
be eligible to enter. Details on this
event, as well as a number of others,
have not been completely worked out.
On the opening evening, Friday,
another new feature planned is a
woodsmen's and pioneers "shindig" to
be held in the Community Center audi
forum. Amateur accordion artists,
competing for appropriate prizes, will
provide music for old time dancing, and
some modern dancing too, with a pro-
fessional orchestra also being on hand
for the evening.
A modern dance is set for Saturday
evening in the auditorium, featured by
a jitterbug contest during which all
Ely followers of the latest DANCE rage
will have the opportunity of doing their
stuff and for prizes, too.
These are the principal new events
listed for this year, but others may be
added. Committees to work on them
and other portions of the program are
now being selected.
A festival queen will again be crowned
as highlight of the first evening, with
the plan used last year in naming her
being employed again. Candidates for
the coveted honor will have the OPP
portunity of selling tickets to festival
events, with the purchaser being allowed
one vote for each penny expended. The
candidates receiving the most votes will
be crowned at elaborate coronation
ceremonies.
The torchlight parade that created
such sensation a year ago will be
promoted again on the opening evening.
Recognition will be given to the best
floats entered.
Other numbers on the program will
include broombal tournament, sled
contests, ski meet, hockey tournament,
