rim NOW'H : The ladles of the Moth-
> dlnt Episcopal church ( if Fairfax
'onld not have Holocted a more appro )
irlalo time of the year than the month
if June to banquet the gentlemen. At
his time It IH bellttliig that men Mould
temporarily free thulr mlmlH of the
oaroH and worries of the workadrty
world and rest.
On Juno f > It was easily gathered
from the conversation of the gentle
men that they were to bo banqueted
In Iho evening and further the real
pleasure and freedom of the evening
was anticipated with the explanation
that there would bo none other there
than tlioiiiHolvoB.
At about 8:110 : the guoHts one by one
began to arrive at 13. M. Thatcher's
Ice cream parlors which had boon
turned Into a banquet hall for the
evening , the ladles having laid covers
for every man In town. The reception
room was provided with many easy
chairs , the wall hung with choice oil
paintings and hero and there the lloor
was covered with comfortable looking
ings.

and every guest was happy , Follow
townsmen greeted each other with a
cordial Hiullo once , twice and even a
third grouting wan tucked away In the
social Intercourse. Everyone was will
ing to talk and seemed determined to
laugh. The evening not only glad
dened the heart but quickened the ap
petite and In consequence Messrs.
Ollno ami Parish showed their follow
guests Into the dining room and seat
ed each near a beautiful red carnation.
Ilov. Mr. Graf of Fairfax then asked
a divine blessing which was followed
by a choice selection from the male
qnartot and the banquet was In prog
ress. AH the beauty of the first course
disappeared and the silent and unseen
forces still continued to serve dainty
and tempting dlfihos while somewhere
from a piano could bo heard beautiful
strains of music , the silence that fol
lowed might have boon Interpreted In
different ways , but Mr. Clias. E. Mor-
rlsey , who can do one thing quicker
than any other and that is to think ,
arose and admitted that ho missed the
ladles. Ills voice , however , took on
a peculiar softness that seemed to an
noy him and ho hastened to call upon
C. A. Johnson. Mr. Johnson , who Is
not In the habit of losing out , appro
priate to the situation , continued to
mention the ladles In a mo.st compli
mentary manno'r.
following the second course Mr.
Chas. 10. Morrlsoy , whoso duty It waste
to speak , pleasantly Introduced Rev.
Alfred Gregory of Honesteel. Mr.
Gregory sought to encourage the men
to connect themselves with the church
and commended their upright and man
ly traits In an Impressive way , adding
the experience of one married couple
that ho had known , who never.agreed
hut once In twenty-five years and that
was when the house was on lire and
( hey agreed to get out.
A very pleasant smile mot Rev. G.
W. Golvln of Gregory as ho arose to
speak. Mr. Morrlsey having disclosed
the fact that ho was not told where
to bring him In but knew he came af
ter chicken.
Rev. Mr. Golvtn spoke for some time
In a spiritual way of the children of
God and their every day work , mis
takes and unbelief.
The quartet then rendered another
beautiful selection , having been called
out by Toastmaster Chns. E. Morrisey.
Mr. Morrlsoy feeling that something
moro needed to bo said settled his
gaze on John N. Ellorman and called
upon him to speak for the man In the
community. Mr. Ellerman responded
In such a smooth and convincing way
that it seemed that all were persuaded
to conclude that the truly honest man
is the successful man. Mr. Morrlsey
then arose , saying that he thought
still more should bo said In pralso of
the ladles and called upon G. O. Van
Meter of Carlock. Mr. VanMeter re
sponded with strength and power , leav
ing nothing unsaid In pralso of the
ladles.
Rev. Mr. Graf of Fairfax , the last
course having been served , added a
few Ilunl remarks bidding adieu to the
banquet hall.

rORMER NORFOLK RAILROADER
Mr. Bain Sayo the Panama Canal Is a
Much More Gltjantlc Proposition
Than He Had Ever Imagined Will
Be Years Before It Is Finished.
N. A. RalnbolL of this city has Just
'ocolvod the following very Interesting
letter from II. G. Haln , formerly a well
known Norfolk citizen and u promi
nent conductor on the Northwestern
-tystcm while here , who recently went
to the Canal Xono to accept a position
AH conductor on the government rail
road In that region :
Culobra , Canal Xono , May 19. Mr.
N. A. Ralnbolt , Norfolk , Nob. : Dear
air and friend. 1 arrived here March
I and have found the situation much
bettor than I anticipated. I had a
very pleasant trip from Now York to
Colon , seven days on the steamer Ad
vance. Colon Is just at the entrance
of the canal and Is composed princi
pally of negroes and Panamalans
Cristobal , a suburb of Colon , Is com
posed of Americans and Is n very tine
place. The front street Is about four
feet above the level of the sea and Is
paved with crushed rock anil cement
and Is lined on each slda with cocoanut -
nut palms. The general physical con
dition of the Isthmus Is very rough and
reminds one of a broken mountain
range. The highest elevation Is not
over 1100 or 400 feet and arc covered
with nil kinds of foliage , liauaiias and
oranges grow in abundance and they
arc certainly of the best quality.
Cnlobra , where I am stationed , Is
one of the hlghests points In the zone
and I believe one of the busiest as
well , as this Is where the largest cut
of the canal Is being made.
The vaslness of this canal proposi
tion Is beyond the Imagination of any
one who has not seen It , and I guess
those who have , also. One of the most
serious propositions that the govern
ment has to contend with no wis the
dam that they are trying to build at
Gatun. This Is to dam the Chagles
river and is to bo ono of the largest
dams In the world. It seems they are
tumble to find a solid foundation upon
which to place the masonry and wlll
have to go at least 200 feet through
black mud and there Is no certainty
of solid bottom at that depth. I think
It will bo a good many years before
the Atlantic squadron will pass through
this canal. It Is amazing the amount
of French machinery that Is standing
along the canal and just rusting down.
It makes no difference which way
yon look , you can see excavations1
engines , cars , pontoon bridges and ev
ery kind of machinery Imaginable.
Lots of It has never been used but has
been standing so long out In the weather -
or that it la absolutely useless now.
Wo are using a good many of their
locomotives and cars.
Wo arc having fine weather now
but It will not last much longer as the
rainy season will commence about the
first of May. It Is not so warm as I
expected to find it here. There Is al
ways a nice cool breeze at night. You
always want a blanket over you. I
suppose yon will hardly believe me
when I tell yon I have only seen one
mosquito since I have been here. I
tried to kill that ono but It got away.
I liavo taken ono trip out through the
jungles to n native town. It was about
fifteen miles out but was well worth
the rldo as ono could see the way na
tives live and I never saw so many
oranges In my life as on this trip. The
trees were just bending with them and
It was there I picked my first oranges
and you bet I did the subject justice.
I like It very well hero but of course
will bo better satisfied when I get my
family hero , which will bo before so
very long.
I think this Is n good place for any
young man who has to depend upon
manual labor for his living as the
wages arc very good and 1 think that
If ono can keep his health for live 01
six years he can leave hero with n
goodly amount of cash. 1 received an
Increase of $20 per month In my wages
slnco I came , to take effect May 1
This makes for me $190 per month am
living quarters free , house furnished
complete with furniture , electric lights
bath , etc. , and fuel brought to your
door. Respectfully ,
H. G. Bain.

WOMAN EDITOR OF HOLT COUNTY
HAS RETIRED.
SHE HAS LED STRENUOUS LIFE
After Many Queer Experiences , Miss
Hudspeth Lays Down Her Newspa
per Pencil to Take up the Moro Ar
tistic Quill of Story Writing.
Rosa Hudspeth , formerly editor of
ho Stuart Lodger and lately of the
Atkinson Ledger , who attained some
lotorlety a year ago as a result of n
campaign which she waged In Stuart
igalnst bachelors of the village , this
vcok announces her retirement from

ip the broader work of writing stories
'or eastern magazines and the like
For some years Miss Hudspeth has
ed a strenuous life in Holt county ,
trying to run a newspaper against
odds. At the last meeting of the Ne
braska Press association she read a
taper In which she told of some of
.he many difficulties with which she
was confronted In her endeavors ,
Whenever she employed a man print
gossips in the vicinity got busy and
; ho printer's wife would finally Insist
bat the man quit his job because of
town talk. Or else , In case the print
er were single , he would only last a
Few days before ho would land In the
village jnll , dead drunk.
When there wore politicians In the
Held , Miss Hudspeth found that to
make complimentary remarks about
any of them meant more gossip and
more jealousy from the wives , so she
adopted the policy of roasting every
man that came along.
A year ago she entered upon a cam
paign seeking to encourage moro mar
riages. Bachelors Immediately ac
cused her of seeking a husband
Among the quaint remarks In the
Ledger at that time was this :
"A man's social position all depends
upon which side of the bar his stomach
ach faces. "
Miss Hndspeth's retirement from the
Atkinson Ledger's editorial chair Is
announced In this week's Ledger In
the following paragraph :
"With this Issue of the Ledger the
editor retires from the arduous labor
of country journalism , to enter the
wider field of metropolitan journalism
and literary effort. A beautiful coun
try home Is being fitted up twenty
miles north of Atkinson. Every con
venlence for pleasant living will bo
arranged for. The Ledger will con
tlnue along Its old lines , and will count
the HIghgeo editor ns one of Its staff
In the meantime a new book , by the
author of the 'Juggernaut of the Mod
erns , ' will be placed upon the easten
market. With a fine Holt county rancl
to look after , and at odd times em
ployed In the writing of western sto
ries for eastern publications , the - editor

employed In a larger territory than
that afforded by the newspaper field
of Holt county. "

TRIPP COUNTY OPENING.
Yankton Paper Expects Overwhelming
Rush for Indian Lands.
Yankton ( S. D. ) Press and Dakotau :
The rush for western land will never
cease so long as an aero remains un
appropriated. The people of the
whole world seem actuated by the
same hunger fqr land , and although
the best of the agricultural domain has
passed Into private ownership there
remains a great area of second rate
and poorer land that has not been
claimed. South Dakotans are familiar
with the rapid exhaustion of public
lands in this state and North Dakota ,
and are familiar with many exciting
and remarkable episodes that have
marked the occupation of our wild
prairies by civilized people. Wo recall
the scenes In Ynnkton two years ago
during the registration for Rosebud
lands , when nearly seventy-live thou
sand people came hero during seven-
eon days to register , men and women
rom all walks of life but very largely
rom the Intelligent , orderly and well
bred classes. How the trains were
rowded to suffocation and ear roofs *
ovcrcd with passengers who could
lot llnd oven standing room Insldoj
and then the long file of applicants
reaching a half mlle back from the
various booths waiting their turn to
; et numbered among these who would
mvo less than ono chance In twcnty-
Ivc of securing the right to take a
lomcstcad.
\nd the experience of Yankton anil
) thcr South Dakota towns was not ex
ceptional but similar to the excitement
and multitudes that visited North Da
cota , Montana and Wyoming the same
season. Scenes similar to those men-
loned are now occurring m British
\merlca In the Saskatchewan country
where a largo tract of land formerly
granted to the Doukhobors , but after
wards relinquished because of their
ollglons scruples which would not al
low them to take the oath of allegi
ance to Great Britain. The account
says at Regnla when the land office-
opened there were over a thousand
[ leople In thq pouring rain , several
uindrod having waited nil night. Ono
old man had slept on the ofllco steps
and succeeded In making the first en
try. Another who waited all night was
a woman. Mounted police preserved
order and no accident or Injury oc
curred. At Yorkton similar scenes
were enacted. Women and men and
Old ago as well as younger , jostled
each other , and not In a very patient
manner , In their eagerness to get ad-
mlsslo ute the land offlce. At Prince
Albert the crowd became so numerous . 'J
and dense as to be dangerous. There
was no getting through It antf at times
parties mixed up In It had difficulty in
extricating themselves. The male and
female employes of the land office
were unable to get out of the building
by tlio usual avenues , and made their
exit through the collar windows.
The next great rush will be for the
million acres to be thrown open In
Trlpp county during the next twelve
months. Taking a cue from the scenesf
alluded to it will be reasonable to look. '
for moro than one hundred thousand
at the various registration points. The
location and character of the land In
Tripp county warrants the expectation
that there will be an overwhelming
rush of people hero to register.
LITTLE RAYMOND PARKS HAS A
HARD STRUGGLE. ]
SWEPT TWO BLOCKS BY WATER ,
Little Norfolk Lad Thought to Wade
Across Swift Corporation Gulch and
Was Lifted Off His Feet to be Car
ried Down Stream.
[ From Monday's Dallv.1 *
Caught by the swift current of Cor
poration gulch last evening little eight-
year-old Raymond Parks was lifted ,
from his feet , tumbled over and over
by the dash of water and carried moro
than two blocks down stream before
a thrown rope brought relief from the
shore. After the rain last evening
water poured through Corporation
gulch with all the force of a mill race.
In places not more than a foot or two
In depth the on-rush of the current
tossed little Raymond Parks about like
a feather until drenched , frightened
and exhausted he was pulled ashore
two blocks below Phillip avenue ,
where he went Into the ditch.
Little Raymond made a bravo fight
against the rush of water that was
tumbling him about. At times on his
feet , then on his hands and knees ,
then rolled over and over the little
fellow lived an experience that ha
ground Itself deep Into his memory.
Raymond Parks , sr. , is a carpenter
living near Philip avenue and Twelfth
street. Today Mr. and Mrs. Parks
have their little boy with them none
the worse for the adventure of yester
day.
Tried to Wade Gulch.
It was 7 o'clock last night when Raymond
mend started out , bare-footed , to bi Jljg
home a neighbor's cow from a pasture'
beyond the gulch. At Philip avenue
the water did not look deep and the
llttlo fellow thought of wading across.
He misjudged the force with which the
water was sweeping down the gulch.
In a moment he had slipped and was
being swept along by the turbulent
tossing stream. A man and some boys
at play saw Raymond fall and shoutIng -
Ing aloud tried to keep up rlth the
llttlo body as It was rolled along.
Some two blocks down stream where
the gulch widens out and becomes
shallower Raymond grasped some long
wild grass. Ho held fast. Some
young men reached the bank and the
little fellow told them that he could
hold fast while they sought a ropo. A
rope thrown out brought him to the
opposite shore.
Save for a few bruises on his body
the llttlo boy received no injuries from
his wild rldo down tho' gulch In a
stream , which while not deep enough
to readily drown was rushing with such
force as not to permit a moment's foot
hold.
