GLEE CLUB AND CHOIR
From Saturdav's Dallv.
Last evening the members of the
Methodist glee club and. choir were
entertained in a very pleasing manner
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. B
Hayes, and the event wilt be long and
pleasantly remembered in the de
lightful time that was enjoyed by the
thirty eruests of the evening. The
event was in honor of Mr. and Mrs
J. R. Jennings, of Springfield, Massa
chusetts. who are spending a short
time here with their relatives and
friends, as Mrs. Jennings was for
several years one of the leading mem
bers of the musical department of the
church. The spacious lawn of the
Hayes home was the scene of the
pleasant gathering and here in the coo
of the evening the members recounted
the many old friends who had been
with them in the choir and who have
since drifted away to other localities
and a great many interesting stories of
old times were brought forth during
the evening. A number of the guests
participated in a very pleasant in
formal program of music and solos
duets, and quartets were given which
added very much to the pleasures of
those who were in attendance at the
event. At a suitable hour dainty re
f reshments of ice cream and cake were
served that provided a most delight
ful part of the evening's entertain
ment. The hostess was assisted in
serving and entertaining by Mrs. Mac
Morgan and Miss Clara Mae Morgan

Inquiries as -to the Idenitity of the
brother of the young man has failed
to discover whether he resides here or
not and the young man is not known
here as far as can be learned.
THE JUNE RISE IN
THE BIG MUDDY IS
NOW OVERDUE
From Saturday's Dally.
"The June rise in the old Missouri
which is some two weeks overdue
teems to be on the job 'right now as
the river is slowly coming up and a
great deal of drift is to be seen float
ing down stream while the small
-channels which in dry weather are
devoid of water are filling up with
the overflow from the main river.
It is not thought, however, that the
rise .will be anywhere as high as us
ual owing to its lateness, as a greater
rart of the water from the mountains
has been carried down the river and
the rains have not been so excessively
heavy this year as to cause any great
amount of flood water.
John Richardson who is operating
the ferry below the Burlington bridge
is also busy between trips on the
ferry in -the building of a new ferry
boat that. he will put in commission
next season if everything continues
-favorable and replace the old boat
that has been in service for a number
of years.
A VERY NEAT SHOW WINDOW
from Saturday Dally.
The east window of the Stanfield
Book shop has been arranged in a
very neat and attractive manner with
a tobacco and cigar display which is
the work of Fred Speck, the clerk of
that establishment and the tasty man
ner in which the window has been fit
ted up is very pleasing to the eye.
This is Fred's .first experience in
window dressing and it is certainly a
most flattering showing.

HE HAD A LOT OF SENSE
There was an old geezer and he
had a lot of sen.se. He started up
business on a dollar-eighty cent?. The
dollar for stock, and the eighty for
an add brought him three lovely dol
lars in a day, by dad! Well, he bought
more goods and "a little more space,
and he played that system with
smile on his face. The customers
flocked to his two-by-four and soon he
had" to hustle for a regular store.
Up on the square, where the people
pass, he gobbled up a corner that
was all plate glass. He fixed up the
windows with the best that he had
and told them all about it in a half-
page ad. He soon had 'em coming and
he never, never quit, and he wouldn't
cut down on his ads, one jit. And he's
kept things humming in the town
ever since, and everybody calls him
the Merchant Prince. Some say it's
luck, but that's all bunk why he was
doing business when time:; were punk!
People have to purchase and Geezer
was wise for he knew the way to
get 'em was to advertise. Associat-

A COMPLAINT THAT
SHOULD BE LOOK
ED INTO AT ONC
From Saturday's Dallv.
The residents along Chicago avenue
are complaining very much of th
habit of the automobile drivers
madly racing up and down that thor
oughfare, and making it very dusty
as well as dangerous for anyone at
tempting to cross the avenue and es
pecially at night, when those resid
ing there state it becomes a regular
race course, with the more conserva
tive drivers of machines forced
keep a close eye on the roadway to
keep from being run down. While
is generally conceeded that a fair
rate of speed along the avenues is a
right the residents in that part of the
citv feel that there should be some
regard shown for their rights in th
matter and the joy riders tame dow
the rate of speed maintained there
The cars also cause a great deal
dust, but this would be stirred u
anyway by slow driving, but perhaps
not to such a great extent. There has
been considerable complaint made to
the police committee of the counci
as well as the other authorities and
while they are dosireous of allow
ing'all possible license in running th
automobile still there seems to be
limit that has about been reached.
A CHICKEN SCARES
A FAMILY BY TOOT
ING AUTO HORN
From Saturday's Palsy.
IVlartin riiednch relates a very
good story on one of the families re
Fining in tins locality wno a lew
nights ago stood a very severe shoe
and for a few minutes thought that
"spooks" had invaded their locality
The parties own an automobile whic
is kept in the barn anil when near
time for them to retire for the nigh
they were greatly surprised to hear
the horn cf the car sounded. An in
vestigation was urged but it wa
thought siueiy that they had bee
mistaken in where the noise ha
come from, but in a few minutes
was repeated and caused a great dea
of excitement. This was kept up fo
seme time when a closer investigation
revealed that one of the chickens be
longing on the place had selected the
bulb horn of the car as a fit roosting
place and every time rhe had settle'
down nicely on the horn it had
"honked'' and roused her up and this
was repeated for some time until she
was taken off her perch.
ISQLUTE FALSE
RUMOR, SAYS GORY
Front Friday's Pail v.
Some party with a great deal more
talk than sense yesterday started
iumor as to John Cory intending to
lock up the base ball grounds and
prevent the game being played there
yesterday afternoon. This story was
: n absolute taloehoou in every way
as Mr. Cory had at no time entertain
:d any intention of locking up the
grounds and the story has done him
a great, injustice anu piaceu mm in
the wrong light before the public. Be
fore anyone starts such stories they
should be sure of what they are talk
ing about and not try and injure
people by their base and unfounded
reports.
