William Balfour was 85 years old
on April 5th and his birthday was
very fittingly celebrated at the home
of his son, Carl, near Nehawka,
where almost 100 guests were pres

the Civil war, having served under
his father as captain of Company I,

Nebraska, locating on a farm near
what was then called Swift, where
he now resides. Mr. Balfour was an
early school teacher and fourteen of
his former pupils were present at the
gathering.
The afternoon was spent in visit
ing and a program consisting of
songs, "Happy Birthday to You, Mr.
Balfour," "Listen to the Mocking
Bird," an old favorite of the guest

Balfour; an address by Rev. Taylor,
of Union, and a talk by Mr. West of
Nehawka. Then more music, closing
with "God be with You Till We Meet
Again," and instrumental selections
by Mrs. Eugene Nutzman.
A delicious lunch was served
everything being carried out truly of
a patriotic order. A large birthday
cake, decorated with red, white and
blue trimmings, was a very fitting
centerpiece for the dining room table.
A large floral centerpiece was also
in red, white and blue. Mr. Sturm,
who was not present, sent a letter
of congratulations and a telegram
was received from his son, George,
in California.
Mr. Balfour received many pretty
gifts and those present went togeth
er and will give him a nice, comfort
able chair to spend his retiring years
in. reminiscing of the early pioneer
days when herds of buffalo roamed
this country and recall the many
familiar incidents of his Civil war
days of his family now grown, the
grandchildren and great-grandchildren
and of his many kind friends and
neighbors who spent the afternoon
with him in honor of his 85th birth
day.
Everyone present enjoyed them
selves immensely and returned home
wishing this dear old gentleman many
more such happy birthdays.
Mr. Balfour is the father of two
daughters, Mrs. Myrtle Cross, resid
ing at Brush. Colorado, and Mrs. Ella
Kearney, at home: five sons, George,

House and
Senate Trying to
Harmonize
Eoncontroversial Items Being Clear
ed Up First, With a Fight
to Ccmc Later.
Washington The ten senators and
representatives sitting in judgment
on the varying tariff views of the
two branches of congress will go in
to their fourth session Monday united
in a determination to compose all
Uifferences in three weeks at the lat
est. One-sixth of the more than 1,
200 amendments added by the senate
to the Hawley-Smoot measure, which
will have been before congress fifteen
months Monday, have been adjusted
by the conferees, either by virtue of
the house or senate group receding
or by compromise of the differing
rates in the first two schedules em
bracing chemicals, oils, paints earth
enware, and glassware.
. Senator Smoot, head of the sen
ate conference committee, said Sun
day that all non-controversial duties
would be cleared up flrst. Majvr rates
on which deadlocks occur or which
either side has pledged not to settle
without permitting the senate or
house to vote upon them, he added,
would be reserved for disposition
later.
May Hold Night Sessions.
- Itho both republicans and demo
crats have expressed satisfaction with
the progress of the conference, there
are indications that night sessions
will be resorted to before long to
accelerate the work. This procedure
already has been broached, but un
animous consent has not been forth
coming. Of the 203 senate amendments
passed on thus far. a bier mainritv
.have been accepted, meaning the re
vision 4s more or less downward. The
house group, however, has insisted
and won a dozen or more of the house
bill increases, and compromises have
jumped about duties in several addi
tional instances.
Rates on only two commodities
casein and cement have been de
fererd for future decision. The house
group is bound under a gentlemen's
agreement to bring the cement con
troversy back to the house for a vote
Indications point also to a house bal
lot on casine. Other provisions slat
ed for votes either in the house or
senate are the export debenture
amendment and the provision with
drawing presidential power to change
the duties, and the dutiej on sucar
lumber and shingles. '
