of Miss Eva Allison a little incident
that occurred down at the Larsh home
a few weeks ago, where one of the

else's hair, and another a small bottle
of cold cream. Miss Eva immediately

ing herself with the bottle of cold cream

nally, externally and eternally, with
quick results. The other young lady
was returned her long lost hair. She

A KOST PLEAS
ANT GATHERING
Friends Meet to Celebrate Double An
nivery and Talk of Earlier Days.
The pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs.
W. F. Moore was the scene of a large
gathering last Monday afternoon, Aug.
31. The affair was in the nature of an
informal reception and was planned and
carried out by Mrs. Moore and her
daughters in honor of Mr. Moore's ffith
birthday anniversary and Mrs. Lavinas
Patterson's 07th birthday. It was
planned to be a surprise to Mr. Moore,
but nevertheless he had gotten some
intimation of the fact and was not as
surprised as it was intended he should
be.
There were eighty-six present and
comprised relatives of Mr. and Mrs.
Moore and old settlers who are friends
of Mrs. Patterson. Mr. and Mrs. Pat
terson formerly lived in this county,
and it was a great pleasure to be with
old-time friends once again. She is a
sister of Mrs. Wm. Gilmour and of Mr.
Abe Towner who resides at Surprise,
Neb.
Guests were present from Iowa, Kan
sas, California, Missouri and Colorado.
To be in old Cass county again with old
friends was a treat to them.
Mr. Moore was born, reared and has
always lived at his present home. He,
his estimable wife and family are held
in highest regard by their neighbors
and friends.
The afternoon was interspersed with
music, which was furnished by Mr. and
Mrs. Asch. Mrs. Asch gave some vocal
solos and rendered several difficult in
strumental selections as well. She is
an accomplished musician and her ren
ditions were very greatly appreciated
by all. She accompanied Mr. Asch
while he gave some violin selections.
Misses Mary and Willa Moore gave a
few numbers on the guitar and man
dolin. They are pupils of Mrs. Asch
and they certainly showed the careful,
painstaking training they have received
from her.
Towards evening they were invited
to the dining room where delicious re
freshments were served, consisting of
ice cream, cake, fruit, punch and coffee.
The tables were prettily decorated with
gladolias and carnations. The tables
were waited on by Misses Mary and
Willa Moore, Elsie and Villa Gapen.
As twilight began to deepen they de
parted, wishing Mr. Moore and Mrs.
Patterson many more such happy birth
days and thinking it had indeed been a
pleasant afternoon. Those present to
enjoy the occasion were:
Messrs. and Mesdames Lavinas Pat
terson of Narka, Kansas, W. F. Moore,

A Pleasant Evening,
On Monday evening of this week the
noted "Night Riders" and the "Black
Hand Society" landed in Murray and
held a union meeting, completely tak
ing charge of the rooming quarters of
Rev. John Smith, and all his belongings.
The band was led or rather headed by
the bravest members of the organiza
tion, James Holmes, Dr. Gilmore.James
Loughridge, M. G. Churchill and VV. G.
Boedeker, at the sight of whom the
reverend gentleman completely surrend
ered, giving himself up to the mercy of
the bold and darring night intruders.
Many others were with the merciless
band, whose names we did not secure,
but we can say the number was great
enough for the occasion planned. It
was one of the most pleasant gather
ings held in Murray for many a day.
given in honor, of the high esteem in
which Mr. Smith has been held during
his stay in our little city. He has
proven himself a gentleman of the
truest kind, and all who know him have
none but the best wishes for him wher
ever his future may be. Dr. Gilmore
made a very interesting talk, voicing
the sentiments of the people of Murray
and the entire comunity. It is claimed
that at the usual hour the visitors call
ed for refreshments which the host
proved a little "shy" and the tosthpicks
were passed, to which some called for
the second helping. Mr. Smith goes to
Allegheny, Pa., where he enters the
seminary to compete his studies for the
ministry, and in taking his departure he
leaves a host of friends in Murray where
he made his home for a few short
months, and all have the best wishes for
his future.
Queen Hill Hits.
Peaches are ripe and prices are right.
So says Wm. Shera. He is handling so
many peaches that his wife says he is a
"peach" himself. He says she is a
"plum." But it takes the pair to do
the business.
Louis Kohrell has been in poor health
for some time. He called a doctor Sun
day and he is not able to be up now.
Beware of the doctors.
Mrs. Sam Schwab is in poor health,
but is lucky in having a fine house
keeper. Menzie Clem is thinking of going in
to the horse business since Perry Marsh
has slid off the earth.
It is the talk that Stanley Hall wants
to be guardian over a family of father
less children.
Markie Furlong, being the highest j
bidder, got the job ot mowing the I
school house yard. He mowed so close j
that he let the perfume out of a new i
made grave. Anyone that uses a schooi j
house play ground to bury stock should j
be prosecuted.
Charley Schwab and family spent

A "Scrum" Time.
A lively and jolly crowd of young
ladies, fourteen in number, were seen
driving from B. W. Livingston's farm
to the Island, on a fishing expedition.
John Livingston, jr. drove the prancing
steeds and stoxl guard over the ice
cream freezer and sumptious luncheon.
After having a gay time hunting wild
flowers, fishing and wading they par
took of all the good things to eat, which
was set under a large tree by Misses
Margaret Livingston and Harriette
Adams.
In the meantime a small boy was spied
with a large watermelon, of which he
was speedily robbed by Jess Gil
mour, then a lively race ensued, headed
by the melon, which in due time was
captured by members of the party and
divided to all present, who were:
Florence and Bessie Dean, of Glen
wood; Myrtle and Mable Harmon and
Lulu Wiles, of Weeping Water; Har
riette and Mable Adams; Margaret,
Rachel and Jennie Livingston; Janet
Hubbard, Glenwood; Josephine Hall,
and Jessa Gilmour.
Card of Thank.
To the many friends who displayed
such great kindness to me and my family
during our recent sickness and death of
my wife, I take this method of extend
ing my heartfelt thanks to you all.
The many kind acts shall never be for
gotten by us. J. B. Seabolt.
Three Contingencies.
Every man has to provide against
three contingencies, want of employ
ment, sickness and death, a3 Samuel
Smiles said. Nobody can escape the
last one, but everybody should be pre
pared for the other two. Want of em
ployment will not bother the men who
saved some money and sickr.es3 will
have no horrors for the man who leads
a simple life and who knows what to do,
should sickness surprise him. We ad
vised our readers many times not to
overlook the usual first symptoms of
diseases, the lack of appetite. If you
have at hand Triner's Amer. Elixir of
Bitter Wine you are well p.epared for
this symptom. In all diseases of the
stomach and the intestines, which dis
eases are the most common ones, it is
a perfectly safe and reliable remedy.
It will give you appetite, bodily
strength, firm muscles and nerves, pure
blood and will drive away headache and
malaise. At drug stores. Jos. Triner,
