A large audi- ( ence was in attendance to enjoy' ' the program , which consisted of orations and a few musical num bers , all well rendered and appre-1 , ciated by the audience. The pro- ' gram was pronounced a success. I M Wm. H. Carter came down from Cody on the afternoon freight Monday to transact business and visit his sister Mrs. Shore and his father Henry Carter , and returnj j ed on the passenger at night. He tells us that he has made a deal for the Vroodman Hall at Cody which is to be moved from where it now stands to a lot cast of the Com- 1 mercial Hotel and pays § 1500 for 1 the'same , located on lots 6 and 7 of block 2 , Vogts' addition to Cody , the building to be in as good condition as it now stands < Mr. Carter has a few mules and i horses that he wishes to sell.

THE DEMOCRAT unites with his many friends here in wishing him a pleasant journey and a safe return. Jas. "White or "Big Jim" as he is known by many of the people in this part of the country was in town Monday. He was down to Washington , D. C. , sometime ago , as was previously reported in THE DEMOCRAT , and dined with Prcsi-1 dept Roosevelt whorh he had known on the plains of the West years ago. Jim was offered the position of U. S. Marshal for In dian Territory but refused it , pre ferring to ride bronchos and rope steers. Jirn would be willing to accept a position from the govern ment perhaps if it was something good , but he doesn't care for an office just for the name. District Court is in session this week with Judge J. J. Harring- ' ton on the bench. Several divorce cases were disposed of the first' day and the case of the State vs. i "Wm. Le LaCheur was put oil un til the next term of court on ac count of some of the defendant's witnesses being-unable to be pres ent. Tuesday morning the case of the stale vs Deliah S. Cole , on tho charge of renting houses or rooms for purpose of prostitution and < Icwdness and keeping or harboring l prostitutes , came up for hearing. County Attorney John M. Tucker ' appeared for the prosecution and Clark & Easley for the defendant. Several witnesses were called for the state and a strong case was' made. John Tucker spoke out plain and called a spade by its right name in his argument before the jury and did so well in the case that he deserves to be com plimented. Our people have been patient sufferers for a long time from these evils and should be ) strongly upheld when they finally make a plea for the town to be rid of prostitutes. It is not a subject that we like to discuss in the pa per any more than people like to come before a jury and judge to complain of these conditions that threaten the morality of our homes. Children and women come in daily contact with this class of people as they go upon the street. Our city marshal should do his duty and put a stop to this evil and close up houses of prosti tution in our city , punish the of fenders and those who rent houses for brothels or lewd purposes. & ft&ft4ft ft 4A9 2 * 1 i * SHOES 2J J 2 * 49 You want a pair of shoes. , You put off buying them as long as you can , because you dread the trying ordeal of breaking them in.
