Improvement and how well Bhe was
looking.
The bazaar given at the Christian
church last Saturday afternoon and
evening was a complete success so
cially, financially and in every other
way. We do not see how it could
possibly be otherwise, with fourteen
such handsome and charming young
ladles In charge of the entire af
fair. The band is certainly properly
named "Sunshine," and the ray of
amlllng countenances that beamed
upon all visitor's was enough to
make the old maid and forlorn bach
elor forget their troubles while in
their presence to be waited upon by
theBe cheerful and happy young lad
ies. The booths were handsomely
and tastily arranged and beautifully
decorated. .
Misses Villa Gapen, Wllla Moore
and Loretta Carroll were In charge
of the fancy work booth to perfec
tion and entertained all who visited
this booth In a manner appropriate
to the occasion.
In the bakery Misses Grace Porter
and Marle-DavlB were kept-busy and
the one who did not patronize them
went away without many good things
in store for them.
In one corner of the room was
located an Indian Wigwam, where
hot cocoa was served by Miss Clara
Copenhaver . dressed as an Indian
maiden, and she acted her part well.
Continued.
Misses Isabell Young. Bessie
Brendel. Olga Minford, Ruth Thoma-
aon and Leila Vallery waited on the
tables, which ware beautifully de
corated with bittersweet and ever
greens, and the young man ,or even
the old one who refused to be wait
ed upon by these handsomeand
charming young ladles, did not real-
he what good things they were miss
ing".
Supper was served from 5 to 8.
After supper the few articles that
were left wore sold at auction. One
thing that the girls were greatly in
terested In was the quilt made by
Miss Grace Porter and Miss Lelia
Vallery. There was no price set on
it but was sold to tho highest bid
der. Col. Seybolt was the lucky
man, paying $5.00 for tho work of
these two young ladles.
The proceeds amounted to $81.00,
which is sufficient to prove that the
young ladles composing the "Sun
shine Band" did remarkably well,
and deBerve great credit for their
efforts. Take It, all In all, It was one
of the most enjoyable and entertain
ing events ever held In Murray, and
all who attended went away feeling
that "it was well to be there."
A Close Call.
Last Monday afternoon, Charley
Spangler, manager of the Farmers'
elevator at Murray, experienced
what might be termed a very close
call, from death. He was sitting
In his office at the elevator doing
some figuring when he was attack
ed by a slight stroke of paralysis,
attended by heart failure. Mr. Spang
ler has been ailing slightly for sev
eral weeks, and went to Omaha a
few days previous to consult a phy
sician. His brother John went to
the elevator soon after the affliction,
to consult him with reference to his
interview with , the Omaha doctors,
and found Charley in the chair. He
spoke to him several times and fall
ing to receive any reply, went over
to where he sat and took hold of
him. In doing so he found his broth
er unconscious and his limbs stiff,
while his eyes were wide open. He
Immediately called for help, and as
soon as possible Dr. Brendel was
called and gave him the proper
treatment. He soon began to re
gain life and was soon conveyed to
his home, and continued to Improve
and the next morning was able to
resume his duties at the elevator.
The doctor pronounced his aliment
a slight stroke of paralysis, attended
by the failure of the heart to act.
The many friends of Mr. Spangler
will be glad to learn that he Is get
ting along so well, as the Impres
sion seems to be he could not have
survived very ..much longer, without
medical aid. The visit of his broth
er John was very fortunate In oc
curing at the time It did, as he had
been all alone at the elevator for
sometime.
James Miller of Murray Has
Been Acting Queerly
Sunday evening James Miller, who
has been working for Alex Rhoden,
near Murray, became what some
claim Insane. He was setting in the
house at the time, and suddenly be
came so excited that he ran out of
the door bare-headed, Jumped barber-wire
fences and made his way
over to Col. Seybolt's home and rap
per for admittance. When the door
was opened, they found to all ap
pearance a very excited visitor. The
Col. saw at once that something
must be done, so Dr. Gllmore was
telephoned for and in company with
Seybolt, Miller was brought to Mur
ray and put to bed at the hotel,
where It was supposed a good night's
rest ..would lmpoye . his condition.
The next morning he got up and
left, but no one knows where to.
Rumors are to the effect that he has
been seen In diffeerent sections but
we failed to . see anyone who had
seen him since Monday morning

full
E
Some time since Mr. Miller suffered
from a Bevere attack of typhoid
fever, and was in an Omaha hospi
tal for several weeks in consequence,
and it is supposed that his sickness
left him in a condition not alto
gether favorable, and that he has be
come Insane. He has lived In the
vicinity of Murray off and on for
the past three years, his parents liv
ing in Gentry county, Mo., and has
always borne an excellent reputation
in this neighborhood. He is a young'
man with some means, and we un
derstand had made arrangments to
farm the Don C. Rhoden place the
coming ' season.' He has hosts of
friends who hope that nothing ser
ious wll happen him. He is known to
have had upon his person when he
left $35 or $40.
Yesterday It was reported that he
was seen In Plattsmouth where he
bought some goods at one of the
stores. Then It was again reported
that he was seen In the neighbor
hood of Dan Riser's. At all events
It is certainly some one's duty to
look up the unfortunate man and
see that he is properly taken care
of. It is said that he belongs to
one of the best families in Gentry
county, Mo., and that his father re
cently sent him Beveral hundred dollars.

At Murray Monday Night, Hoc. 20
In speaking of this great lecturer,
the Windom (Minn;) Reporter says:
"The opera house was filled to hear
Dr. Edwin W. Lanham's lecture on
"The Birthright Sold." There was
never a better nor stronger talk given
in Windom on that subject it was
meat from beginning to end. He
commenced by saying that all license
men agreed that there was no moral
question about it that question had
been settled long ago; the saloon
has no moral right whatever, and
with that, he dropped that phase of
the subject and took up the econo
mic and ethical aide of the question.
He poined to the fact that no town
in advertising Its attractions and ad
vantages ever advertised its saloons,
and he gave a few statistics that
were based on facts, scientific facts
that could not bo denied nor dis
puted. His appeal to American pa
triotism was insurmountable. Cer
tainly no true American wants to
see "Old Glory" desecrated and dis
graced by being used to decorate
saloons. His prophecy that unless the
liquor traffic was curtailed this na
tion would fall as did Egypt, was
appalling. "No man," he said, "could
exist half drunk and half sober." A
few lectures like it scattered through
the year would be of great assistance
In taking care of the blind pigs."

There will be a box supper and
entertainment given at the Rock
