gry plcnlcers soon caused the plates
of fried chicken to vanish. Mr.
Larsh provided the crowd with

was mado on the night of the
Young-Rico wedding, and soon after
tho young couple tyid gone to their
new homo and retired for the night.
There are ninny suspicions afloat,
and the mystery will In all proba
bility receive a thorough investiga
tion and the guilty party brought to
Justice.. To say the least, tt was a
most dastardlya trick, and the pun
ishment a most severe one to the
guilty parties If apprehended. And
we understand tho law-abiding citi
zens of Murray will leave nothing
undone thnt will lead to the appre
hension of the guilty parties.

Y. C. T. V. Convention.
The program committee for the
national .W. C. T. U. convention
which will convene in Omaha, Oc
tober 22-27, Is very fortunate in
securing, several fine speakers for
the occasion.
The annual sermon has always
been a very important feature of
the national convention, and It is
with great pleasure that we an
nounce that Mrs. Mary Armor, presi
dent of the Georgia W. C. T. U.,
will preach Sunday afternoon. Many
people of the state had the privilege
of hearing Mrs. Armor speak when
she was in the state last year, and
know of her rare ability as an in
spiring woman on the platform.
One of the distinguished guests of
the convention will be ex-Governor
Glenn of North Carolina, who will
speak Sunday evening.
Another will be Dr. Janney of
Baltimore, Md., who is prominently
identified with the Vigilance society
of that city.
Miss Ellen M. Stone, whose cap
tivity in Bulgaria Is still fresh in
the minds of all, will be in attend
ance, and will not fail to interest
everyone in her story.
Two of our ' national superintend
ents; Mrs. Edith Smith Davis , of
Milwaukee, .Wis., and Mrs. Martha
M. Allen of New York., who were
sent by the U. S. government as
delegates to the antl-alchol congress
which was held in London, Eng.,
July 18-24 will give reports of the
12 international congress on alchol
ism. Mrs. Davis is superintendent
of the scientific temperance in
struction department of the W. C. T.
U., and recently prepared a course
of study in scientific . temperance,
which has been adopted by the Chi
cago training school for missionary
workers. Partial courses have been
introduced into the university of
Wisconsin and also into Leland
Stanford University, but that adopt
ed by the Chicago training school Is
fcr educators themselves, as the
students are largely college gradu
ates. Miss E. Gertrude Storer, B. L.,
the one who will have charge of this
department Is a woman of exception
al preparation and training. For
two summers Miss Storer was in the
state department of Nebraska as
examiner. Her wide erperlence in
educational problems together with
her experience as a teacher renders
her work peculiarly valuable.
Mrs. Connor, our resident mis
sionary in Alaska, will tell the story
of Alaska's needs and Alaska's
hopes. Mrs. Connor has lived in

there are organizations of the W.

Interesting entertainment.

monstration committee, Mrs. Clara
E. Burbank, Is also planning for a
big parade of the school children.
They will march through the princi
pal streets down town, Friday af
ternoon, carrying flags and banners,
and Ringing temperance songs. This
may be mado an automobile parade
as many autpmobllo owners have
offered the use of their mnchlnes
for the purpose.
Owing to the Intense heat and
the nbsence from the city of many
of tho active workers on the Oin-
atia committee, the campaign for
funds has been at a standstill, but
with the cooler weather of Septem
ber, the work of rasing the balance
will be pushed with new energy.
A temperance rally was held in
Omaha, Sunday evening, at the First
M. E. church. Mrs. Frances B.;
Heald, state president, spoke, also
Mrs. George Covell, president of

BUFFALO AXD PAWXFE BILL
Will Being Their Combined Wild
West and Far Fast Exhibition to
Nebraska City, September 7.
An event pf unusual interest to
people in this vicinity will be the
engagement of Buffalo Bill's Wild
West and Pawnee Bill's Far East,
as noted In tho above headlines.
Varied and wonderful will be the
several spectacular scenes and the
entire exhibition will take on an ed
ucational and historic character,
which gives it an interest possessed
by no other tented exhibition. An
oriental spectacle of gorgeous splen
dors will bo interpreted by groups
and delegations from the far east,
introducing Rossi's Musical Ele
phants as the particular feature of
tho oriental scene. The. Battle of
Summit Springs, a reproduction of
the historic Indian conflict In which
Buffalo Bill killed Chief Tall Bull,
of the Dog Soldiers, will be the
principal wild west scene, partici
pated in by Colonel William F. Cody,
the original and only Buffalo Bill,
who will re-enact his original part.
The Great Train Hold-Up by Indians
will picture an early epoch in rail
road building, and A Holiday at
"T-E" Ranch will typify the pleas
ures and pastimes of the plainsmen.
The World's Roughriders, led In
person at every performance by Buf
falo Bill, who positively appears, no
matter what the weather, will em
brace equestrian experts from the
world's equestrian nations. Wild
riding Bedouins from the sands of
Sahara, and the" reckless aborlglnee
from our own rolling prairies will
ride side by side; both sides of the
earth will be typified and the saddle
ship of many nations will be brought
Into immediate comparison. Every
lten In the program of the wild west
and far east is real and authentic,
the cavalry charges, artillery drills,
war dances, roughrldlng, and ori
ental pageants are real and accurate
In every detail. The tepees of the
Indians are the real prairie homes
of the redmen; the trappings of the
ponies, the camp outfits, and every
stick and stitch of the equipment Is
Just what it is represented to be.
And the feature of features will be
the appearance In the . saddle, at
every performance, of the real and
genuine Buffalo BUI, the last of'the
great scouts. Arrangements have
been made with the railroad officials
to run special excursions and reduc-
ft
body who so desires may take ad
vantage of their opportunity to visit
this world-renowned exhibition.
