The census dodgers and those who give untruthful or smart answers to the enumerators are meeting with hard luck all over the country; an ultra smart fellow in New York City is facing a $500 fine and sixty days in jail because of a number of un truthful and flippant answers to the questions on the questionnaire; a school teacher down east is also in trouble because she refused to an swer the questions; a number of others in various parts of the country have been brought into court for ir regularities connected with the tak ing of the census. A group meeting of the Boy Scouts was held at the court house on Mon day evening of this week. Nearly every town in the county was repre sented at this meeting. Rev.

This was a very snappy play, mixed with some beautiful scenes and every part was played as only real actors could play it. The show was a two act play with five scenes in the last act in the form of a pageant. The costumes were very pretty as well as typical of what they represented and the songs were well rendered. Aunt Eliza and Uncle Ebe, the old darky servants (comedians), kept the house in laughter whenever they were on the stage. The cast consisted of eighteen ladies and we must say that Dorsey has some real talent, both in acting and singing. You should have seen the play to ap preciate it. The Pickering orchestra, with Miss Wilma playing the piano; Miss Vera the violin and Claude the saxophone furnished some lovely music. The two songs given between acts, one given by the two Marshal children and the other by Claude Pickering and Vivian Newman, were very well rendered. The cast in the play: The Col., a southern gentleman, Miss Sadie Der ickson; his wife, Mrs. Roy Emerson; their daughter (Miss Janet), Miss Vivian Newman; her lover (Dick), Miss Ruth Holz; Uncle Ebe (darky servant) Mrs. Frank Hunter; Aunt Eliza (darky servant) Mrs. Wm. Pickering; Hiawatha, Mrs. Frank Butterfield; Minnehaha, Mrs. Throck morten; John Alden, Mrs. Harry Johnson; Priscilla, Mrs. Wm.

He is still in O’Neill because of the crowded condition of the hospital. The trouble arose when, it is re ported, Sattler pulled a large revol ver on a clerk in the hardware store at Inman and endeavored to make him cash a check which the clerk had refused to do; the gun was taken from Sattler but other trouble fol lowed; he was finally subdued and held for the sheriff, who went d,own and got him.
