WORD FROM PAWNEE CITY.
From Wednesday's Daily.
The concert given last , Saturday
evening proved to be, as was ex
pected, the star musical number of
the lyceum course. A large crowd
was present, and the interest and
enthusiasm of the audience grew
with every number. Each member
of the company was encored many
times, to which the singers respond
ed with their best efforts.
The rich, resonant quality of Mr.
Pavenny's ' voice, coupled with his
charming stage presence, won the
favor of his hearers at the start.
Mrs. Davenny has a lyric soprano
voice of great sweetness and flexi
bility. The duets by Mr. and Mrs.
Davenny were the hit of the eve
ning. Mrs. Siering has perhaps the
greatest contralto voice heard on our

Splendid appreciation was shown
for her singing. Mr. Tation, in the
tenor part, won prolonged applause,
and he has a voice of great, sweet
ness and power. Miss Geon proved
herself an ideal accompanist. Her
skill and technique make her a
worthy member of the company.
The appreciation of the audience
for the superior merit of this com

to both entertainers and entertain

THOUSANDS OF CAT
TLE PERISH IN FIRE
AT KANSAS CITY
FIRE DESTROYS MORE THAN
ONE-HALF THE PENS AND
CATCHES MUCH STOCK.
Most of the Animals Liberated and
Run Wild in Streets Until
Corralled.
Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 16. Cattle
owners this morning were having
difficulty in identifying their ani
mals from among the great herd
which was liberated when fire early
today destroyed more than one-half
of the Kansas City stock yards. By
7 o'clock the fire had been exting
uished. When the fire started, it is esti
mated the number of cattle in the
pen was 47,000. Of this number var
ious estimates of the number burn
ed ranged from 5,000 to 15,000.
At the discovery of the fire, thous
ands of cattle were liberated from
the pens and the streets were glutted
with panic stricken herds. Today
these animals, many of which had
wandered some distance from the
scene of the fire, were being coralled
by their owners.
Many new shipments of cattle
were in the jards today ready to be
unloaded. Cattlemen were undecid
ed as to what disposal to make of
the cattle, but it was suggested that
they would be shipped on either to
St. Louis or Chicago. Omaha and
St. Joseph also might benefit by ship
ments, it was said.
Very few swine were burned. The
hog pens were reached by the flames,
but most 'of the animals had been
liberated.
DEMAND 'MODERATE' PEACE
AND MICHAELIS DISMISSAL
Copenhagen, Oct. 16. Demand for
the dismissal of Chancellor Michaelis
was the leading theme at the open
ing session of the Socialist conven
tion at Wurzburg, Bavaria. Sunday,
at which Philip Scheidemann, the
majority Socialist leader in the reich
tag, was a speaker.
Friedrich Ebert, a Socialist mem
ber of the reichstag, assailed those
members of the party who attempt
to prolong the war. He declared al
so that the advocates of the so-called
German peace were working in
their own pecuniary interests and
not for the fatherland.
Herr Scheidemann said that the
war profiteers were investing mil
lions of marks in the German press,
which accounted for the increasing
number of newspapers attacking the
advocates of a moderate peace.
Amsterdam, Oct. 16. In his speech
at the Wurzburg convention, Herr
Ebert, president of the German So
cialist party, said speedy conclusion
of peace was a vital necessity for
workmen in all countries and that
the policy of the mailed fist would
disappear after the frightful horrors
of war.
"If a ballot were taken today," he
added, "nine-tenths of the people
would approve peace by agreement."
Herr Scheidemann, referring to the
Cappelle incident, said that unfor
tunately it could not be discussed in
public.
"The fact is," he continued, "that
if they wanted to catch all who were
connected with similar incidents they
would have to take action against
three hundred persons simultaneous-j
ly. Every day soldiers come to us
with complaints and we have open-

MOVES TO ALLIANCE.
From Wednesday's Dally.
Harry Messersmith and family,
departed this afternoon for Alliance,
where they will make their home
in the future. Mr. Messersmith was
at Alliance for about a month work
ing for the Burilngton on air brakes,
and has received a proposition to
go to that place permanentlj-, in
that line or for the present at least.
Harry is an excellent man, and will
make good in his line anywhere. He
may be tried. We are sorry to lose
him and his family as citizens of
this place, but our loss is the gain
of Alliance.
OREGON VISITOR AT UNION
A CALLER IN TOWN TODAY
From Wednesday's Daily.
J. F. Hostetter and son. Dee, were
up from Union this morning look
ing after some business in the city.
The elder Mr. Hostetter moved from
the vicinity of Union to Roseburg,
Oregon seven years ago and has re
sided in the west since then. He is
well pleased with Oregon as a state
in which to live and speaks of how
much the roads there have been im
proved since he first moved into the
etate. At the time he went to Ore
gon, he states it was not possible to
get around on account of the muddy
condition, but the automobile has
demanded and secured the best of
roads for that country. Mr. Hostet
ter is only here on a visit and will
soon return to his home in the west.

SUPERIORITY OF ENTENTE AL

SHOWN.
United States Now Spending $1,625,
000 an Hour for the Cause
of Mankind.
New York, Oct. 16. The war is
costing the belligerent nations of
the world at the rate of 8160,000,
000 a day $6,500,000 an hour
and the United States is paying at
least one-quarter of this staggering
sum, according to estimates made
today by the Mechanics' National
bank of New York. The estimated
daily cost at the beginning of the
war was $50,000,000 and a year ago
it was $100,000,000. This coun
try's rate-of expenditure is greater
than any other nation. Great Britain
being second and Germany next.
By next August, according to the
bank's figures, the total cost to the
world will be $155,000,000,000. Al
ready expenditures have exceeded
5iuo,uuo,uou, of which all but a
fraction has been translated into
permanent national indebtedness.
Interest on public debt is now cal
culated to be more than 10 per cent
of the normal income of the Gemiaa
people, as compared with less than
one-half of one per cent in the case
of the people of the United States.
The developed national wealth of
the allies is placed at $600,000,-
000,000 by the bank, while that of
the Teutonic powers is given a
$130,000,000,000.
About 53,000,000 men are today
engaged in the war. To what ex
tent the entene allies have gained
superiority over Germany is shown
by the bank in striking fashion.
witn no more tnan z.uuu.uuu or
American manhood enlisted, the
total military strength of the allies
is 33,000,000 against a total for
Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgar
ia, and Turkey of 20,000,000. Thr:
population of fourteen entente allies
from which the ranks of their ar
mies may be replenished is altogeth
er 1,300,000,000, against a popula
tion of less than 150,000,000 in t!o
central European nations.
Mrs. Smith Recommends Chamber
Iain's Tablets.
"I have had more or less stomach
trouble for eight or ten , years."
writes Mrs. G. H. Smith, Brewerton,
N. Y. "When suffering froo at
tacks of indigestion and heaviness,
after eating, one or two of Chamber
lain's Tablets have always relieved
me. I have also found them a pleas
ant laxative." These tablets tone
up the stomach and enable it to per
form its functions naturally. If you
are troubled with indigestion give
them a trial, get weh and stay well.
Women Have Their Troubles.
Not only middle-aged women, but
younger ones, too, suffer from back
ache, pains in side, swollen ankles,
sore muscles, rheumatic pains and
kindred ailments without knowing
that these are most often the result
of deranged or overworked kidneys.
Foley Kidney Pills are good medi
cine for kidney trouble. Sold every
where. Dyspepsia is America's curse. To
restore digestion, normal weight,
