DAY Presentation of "Our Boys" at
Crelghton Auditorium.
There la by no means a cruah of affaire
scheduled for this week, but society can
afford to slack Its pace, which has been
little short of riotous these past few weeks,
for even the moat frivolous and enduring
could scarcely wish It to continue all sea
son. Aivd. besides that, the debutantes are
all out now and the reception or two that
attended their Introduction each week are
over too and the Indications are that so
ciety will have to content Itself with lesser
things for a while.' The facH le this round
of gnlety has proven rather too much for
some of the girls and several of them are
planning little visits out of town to rest
up. And no wonder, when one takes Into
account alt that has been required of them
of late. For one thing, they are expected
to "assist" at all of the reception, and the
more popular the girl the greater her de
mand And then there have been luncheons
and thlngn for each rurcesslve d buttnfe,
and of cours? it Is the girls who make
up the guest lie's on tree evasions. It
Is no secret that .the men have felt them
selves ra'hor left out of lit-, and they
have had to make things up In the evening
and again the popular gi 1 has had to suf
fer for her popularity, until noth'ng fhort
of the rest cure seems to stend be' ween
her and the necessity of withdrawing en
tirely for a while.
A bachelor whose name frequently ap
pears In the society chronicles was trentel
to a reproof one day lat week that may
servo as a warning to other men of his
kind, who, thanks to their tailors and their
station, are frequently mltnken for jen
tlemen. It was one of the cold daya when
the wind made walking difficult on Farna-n
street hill in the business sectl :n and
among those who waited for the Farnam
street car was a prominent socl ty w ma 1
and a little girl. When the car stopped
there was the ufual rush, but, thanks to a
pair of broad ahoulders and euprlor
Height, the society bachelor made the p at
form first regardless of the several women
and the fact that he had rudeiy crowdaj
the little girl, but as the;e were passen
gers to get off he had to atep buck again
and as he wal.ed, hOiJlng to the ra.l, ha
heard the lady's familiar voice say, "dtep
back, daughter, the eent.eman is la a
hurry." There was a suspicion of accent
on the "gentleman," and, releasing hla
hold.- he hurriedly stepped back with an
apology to this woman in whose home hi
had been a guest, but it was too late and
his apology and his tardy courtesy v.erj
received with only a frigid elevation of the
eyebrows.
The Inclination to dramatics among some
of the members of the younger set which
has afforded society not a few enjoyable
occasions during the last two or thr.e sea
sons has cropped out again, and a play
entitled "Our Boys" will be presented Sat
urday evening at Crelgnton auditorium, the
cast to Include a number of prominent so
ciety young people, the proceeds to go to
the alumnae scholarship fund of Biownell
Hall. Miss Abba Bowen is perhaps the chief
promoter and Mrs. Edward Porter Peck
haa co'acl ed. The cast includes M.ss Laura
Congdon, Miss Faith Potter, Ml.-s Phoebe.
Bmith, Miss Ethel Tukey, Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Doorly, Mr. Ross Towle, Lawren.e
Brlnker, Geoige Sumner and Bherman

It haa been altogether too elaborate a

Smith at her home, 2112 Davenport street,

REGIMENT ONLY ONE OF KIND IN ARMf
Iowa Shippers Ask Railway Coramls
alea to Make a Review of Clas
alteatloa for Shlpmeata
la State.
(.From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Dec. 3. (Special.) The
last of the famous Iowa "Graybeard Regi
ment" of volunteers of the union army Is
dead. This Is Hugh Logan of Marlon
county, who died yesterday at the home ot
8. A. Lake In Knoxvllle. He was born In
the county of Antrim, Ireland, In 1803, and
was therefore more than 101 years old. The
Graybeard regiment of Iowa was so called
because of the fact that It was composed
almost entirely of old men. By spcclnl pe
tition to the president the organization of
this regiment was allowed In 1862. and men
between 45 and 80 years old were admitted.
It was the Thirty-seventh Iowa volunteer?
and it was organuted for the special pur
pose of doing garrison duty and relieving
the younger men wherever possible with
out actually going to the front. The regi
ment did no fighting except In one case,
where there was an attack by guerillas. It
waa mustered out at Davenport In 186."'.
having done much valuable service. It is
believed that Mr. Logan of Knoxvllle was
the laat of the survivors of this unique
regiment.
Clvle Leaxn Is Formed.
Announcement Is made here today of the
plans for a general association to be known
as a Civic league for Dee Molncs, formed
of business men. A committee haa been
at work a long time on plans for the for
mation of such a league and a formal state
ment has been given out. This indicates
that the league will go Into municipal pol
itics heavy and advocate the election of fit
persons for public office without regard to
party, and the only standard will be that
of good character and fitness for office. A
meeting Ls to be held next week to com
plete organisation. The administration of
affairs by the city council and in some de
partments haa been fnr from satisfactory
to business men and there has been great
extravagance In many departments, and It
la largely to check this that the league has
been formed.
Fidelity Bonda Come Utah.
Local agents of bonding companies have
received notice of an Increase In the price
of fidelity bonds In this city and elsewhere,
beginning with the first of the year. The
Increase is from $3 to S4 a thousand for
the bonds. The reason assigned is that
there has been an alarming Increase In the
number of defalcations and crimes by bank
clerks and officials in Des Moinea and Iowa,
and possibly in other cities, and the bond
ing companies And that their expenses have
become heavier. A number of cases ol
losses In Des Moinea banks have been made
good by companies the lust few years.
Morton Will Go Free.
Judge McHenry In the district court this
morning granted a new trial to Charles
Morton, colored, who was yesterday con
victed of killing an unidentified stranger,
the degree of crime being fixed at man
slaughter. The new trial waa granted on
the theory that the county attorney used
language to the Jury not warranted by the
facts and that as a result the verdict of
the Jury was one found by passion. The
court Indicated that his guilt was in doubt.
Iowa Fair Prime.
Not all the returns hnve as yet been re
ceived, but It is known that Iowa won
many prizes in stock, fruit, dairy and ugrl
culrure at the St. Louis exposition. It Is
made known here that in fruit the state,
as a whole, won a grand prize on gen ral
display, and there were five gold meduls,
thirty-three silver medals and thirty-nine
bronze medals awarded to Iowa men In

als, eight silver medals and twenty-four

and on December 29 next the commission
will hold a session for the purpose of hear
ing as to any proposed chnngea In the clas
