CARDS OF THANKS...'. 25 The person who recently declared that nothing could put Oyster Bay back on the map were dreaming. Today it is the most pronounced location known to Republicans. Even the White House is not attracting so much attention as Oyster Bay and one certain citizen.

There is only one living ex-pres-ident of the United States. It has always been a question what should be done with ex-presidents. Fate has given the solution in most cases, but with the present very lively survivor there is perhaps nothing better can be done for him than to let him make a race for a third term as president.

There are more Republicans in Hancock county who favor the candidacy of President Taft for re-election than the candidacy of any other Republican. If Taft can not be re-nominated, they do not take Roosevelt as second choice. Justice Hughes, of the United States Supreme Court, would be more acceptable than any candidate but Taft.

The Democrats of the United States, with political conditions such as to stimulate party harmony, are divided even worse than the Republicans. All the Republicans need to do is to eliminate a lot of jealous party leaders and bosses. With them out of the way the masses of the party could become united on principles and win with the voters of thecountry. But the Democrats not only have personal jealousies, but they can not agree among themselves on the principles for which they stand. II they are so badly divided when they have no real legislative power what indeed would be their condition if they really were clothed with full authority to act in legislative matters.

A great many friends of President Taft see that he not only is not. a politician, but they see that he does not have any effective politicians or political organizers about him. The fact of the case 2S that .Mr. Taft has been in office so much of his life, and official positions have come to him so unsolicited that he has under estimated the real needs and benefits of political organization. The whole tenency of his administration has been to stifle political activity and party organization. The results are that there is not much incentive to any one to work for the renomination of Mr. Taft. Most Republicans would prefer to see him nominated and re-elected but they are not doing anything to accomplish that result.

If the Republican party is weaker with the voters of Hie country now than formerly, it is not because of the principles for which it stands, but because of many of the rien who are in control of the party. If the Republicans win in the national election this year it will be because the people have confidence in the principles of the Republican party, and are afraid of the application of Democratic ideas and Democratic control. There can be no question but that there are men exercising great influence within the Republican party, who are in bad standing with the masses of the people. To rebuke them at the polls would be a pleasure to man.v voters if the remedy would prove not to be too severe with the whole country.

Everybody is wondering who Col. Bryan will favor as the Democratic candidate for President. All admit that he will exert a big influence in the convention. He says, like he meant it, that he is out of the running, but there are more Democrats who would rather see him the cadidate again, than any other man whose name is mentioned. This desire is made the stronger for the reason that they are more confident of winning than they have neen for several years. Some think Mr. Bryan's real choice will be Senator John W. Kern, but the old ticket of Bryan and Kern would sound mighty good to many Democrats throughout the country. Bryan is the strongest man in the Democratic party in the United States a

today. His ideas are more popular than ever before, and many Demo-

c.ii.crats

will never die happy until

Bryan is President of the United .States.

The success of the employment departments in connection with the charity organizations has been so pronounced that no doubt it will eventually become a permanent feature of charity work. There are other features, too, which are be-" ing considered and which are almost sure of adoption. One of them is to take care of the wives and children of worthless and dissipated men, but allow the man who is voluntarily responsible for his family's condition, to suffer to some extent, at least as an object lesson, as well as a punishment. No one connected with charity work begrudges the aid they give to needy wives and children, but every charity worker reluctantly contributes to the support of strong, lazy, dissipated husbands who loaf around saloons and spend the money that should support their families. If a labor and employment department is established, work can be provided for all worthy poor at least part of the time, thereby greatly aiding them to support themselves and at the same time obliging many people who need help. It would also expose the professionals who want to be helped without giving anything in return therefor. It is practical and would greatly aid the charity workers.

OBSERVE FAST DAY AT M. E.

Interest of the Revival Now in Progress Larger Attendance Last Night—Held All Week.

Wednesday was observed as a day of fasting and prayer at the Bradley M. E. church, and services were held continuously a larger part of the day, people going and coming as they desired. This observance of an old custom was in the interest of the revival now in progress, with Evangelist David Reed assisting the pastor, Rev. Naftzger.

There was a larger attendance at the service Tuesday night, as the weather was slightly moderated. The meetings will continue the remainder of this week and probably longer. The weather has been very unfavorable since the meetings begun the first of January, and the attendance has suffered accordingly.

Will Have a Corn Show. The annual Fortville corn show will be held Thursday, January 25. Arrangements have been made for an unusually good exhibition of corn and course of instruction. In addition to the usual corn show and farmers institute, a butter show will be a feature. This has been added in order to interest the farmers' wives. The work of judging the butter will be carried on in the basement of the M. E. church. Lady speakers will be in attendance who will lecture on "Good Butter Making." h-

Ladies' Society of M. E. Church Have Paid Their Pledge and More Elect New Officers.

The Ladies' Society of the Bradley M. E. church held their regular meeting Tuesday afternoon in the study of the church. As this was the closing meeting for the year 1911, reports were given which to them seemed very encouraging.

By their untiring zeal and energy they have the satisfaction of seeing their church pledge all pair and during the past year paid $100 to the East Greenfield church. Twelve new members have been added, making a total of sixty.

The society has suffered the loss by death during the past year of three members—Mrs. Jerome Black, Mrs. Mary Brandow and Mrs. Sarah Bragg.

The following officers were elected: president, Mrs. Cora Dixon vice president, Mrs. Jennie Beale secretary, Mrs. Anna Fry treasurer, Mrs. Beulah Getman. The retiring officers wTere Mrs. Irene Stoner. Mrs. Iza Davis, Mrs. Alice Archey and Mrs. Bell Cooper. Mrs. Archey and Mrs. Cooper have served seven and nine years, respectively.

Mt. Lebanon Revival.

The pastor is well pieased with the outlook for a revival. People are interested and the boys and girls are giving good attention, for which the pastor and church want to thank them. WTe are praying that before many days we shall be able to announce the conversion of many. In this time of carelessness and indifference, the people of God need to be much in grayer. The Bible speaks of a time when people shall become lovers of self more than lovers of God. Brother, sister, we need to take higher ground we need to take a bolder stand, and "work while it is day, for the night cometh when no man can work." All are cordially invited to attend these services. John S. Clawson, pastor.

Miss Effle Eackleman, of Carthage, is spending the week here with friends.

ARE SUPERINTENDENTS

Of Schools in Bryan's Progressive State—Draws Salaries of SI,000 to $1,800 Each Per Year.

The Omaha Bee has the following interesting bit of information: "Fourty-four women hold the important office of county superintendent of schools in the state of Nebraska, thus enjoying what was long considered the special privilage of men as to office-holding in the great field wherein the public schools exercise their influence. These women office-holders draw salaries ranging from $1,000 to $1,800 a year, the latter amount being drawn by Superintendents Jessie B. Pry tie, of Gage county, and Mrs. E. B. O. Williams, of Saunders county. Superintendent Mary E. Foster, of Cass, and Abbia M. Newberry, of Know, draw $j ,600 a year, while eight others draw $1,400 a year, and fifteen get $1,300. Eight are payed a per deim of not less than $5 for all time actually given to the work in the sparsely settled counties. That these women are successfully discharging the duties devolving on a county superintendent is proven by the fact that many of them have been reelected from two to four times by the voters/'

TEH THOUSAND DOLLAR SUIT IS NOW ON TRIAL

The Case of Conrad Ostermeier, Administrator of Estate of W. C. Weber, vs. T. H. I. & E.

The suit of Conrad Ostermeier. as administrator of the estate of William C. Weber, vs. the T. H. I. & E. Traction Company for 10,000, is on trial in the Circuit Court by a jury.

Mr. Weber was killed about three years ago at a crossing near Gem. The case was tried during the last term of court and a verdict of $2,000 for the plaintiff was rendered. A new trial was granted on the answer to interrogatories. All the forenoon Monday was taken in securing a jury, the opening statements being made when court convened this afternoon.

A Day With Mother.

Sunday, January 14th, being the sixty-third birthday anniversary of Emma E. Chappie, her children and grandchildren gathered at her home at 124 East Osage street, to spend the day with her. It surely was a happy day for both mother and the children.

Mrs. Chappie is the widow of the late George R. Chappie, who was one of Hancock county's most respected citizens. She has eight living children and all with their families were present. Marion E. Dobbins, a son-in-law, with his family was also present. An only sister, Mrs. Jane Rhody. met with the family to enjoy the day. which was spent in music and social conversation. Mrs. Chappie received several nice presents. It was a day long to be remembered by everyone present and all wishing to spend many more such days at home with their mother. Those present were Mrs

Will Quit Farming.

Thomas Franklin has decided to have a public sale and dispose of all his personal property on account of age. Mr. Franklin is one of the oldest residents of Green township, and has made his home on the George Frank farm of 170 acres, for the last twenty-two years and has for many years been a successful raiser of Poland China hogs, draft horses and high grade Jersey cattle.

Manasah E. Jeffries, of R. R. 1, in Brandywine township, who has been seriously sick with liver and heart trouble, is no better. He has been confined to his home for ten weeks. Mr. Jeffries suffered for many months with rheumatism, which he thinks was caused by being kicked by a horse. The liver and heart trouble followed the rheumatism.

BRINGS BRIDE HOME

Calvin Smullyan Married While on Visit at Philadelphia.

Calvin Smullyan surprised his friends here when he returned on Wednesday afternoon accompanied by his bride of a few days. He failed to let anyone here in on the happy secret, and the first they knew of it was when they received announcements from Philadelphia of the wedding. He was married on Sunday, January 7th, at 6 o'clock p. m., to Miss Fanny Gross, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Gross, at their home, 926 N. 6th St., Philadelphia, Pa. Mr. Smullyan went to Philadelphia several weeks ago, ostensibly to visit his parents, but it is apparent that he failed to disclose all the facts in the case, even to his most intimate friends. Notwithstanding his premeditated oversight his friends welcome him and his bride with best wishes, as Calvin has proven himself to be a hustler in business, and a good citizen in every way.

Obituary.

B. F. Keith's Theater.

Bronco "busters," champion "ropers," Indians and cowboys will enliven the stage at B. F. Keith's theater, Indianapolis, the week beginning January 22d. "Cheyenne Days* a sensational panorama of western activities will be presented. Lucile Mulhall, whom ex-president Roosevelt declared to be the best horsewoman in America, is featured in the act. She will appear on her champion high school bronco, "Red Buck," Miss Mulhall being assisted by Art Bowen, Wyoming's champion roping expert, and Otto Kline, who saddled and rides the only outlaw bucking bronco on the stage, "Wampus." A numerous cast of minors supports these principals.

Hermine Shone, one of the most beautiful women on the stage, assisted by a cast of legitimate players, will offer a mystic oddity called "The Little Goddess," a playlette filled with surprising effects and laughable situations. The Avon Comedy Four, conceded the best quartette in vaudeville, will offer a program of new songs, interspersed with hilarious fun. The Four Elles are "danses modern," who offer a brilliant program of imitations of skating on ice, acrobatic, Brazilian and pantomomic dances. Cooper & Robinson are in the forefront of negro entertainers. They will bring new, characteristic songs and eccentric dances. Ed Morton is a singing monologist whose vogue in New York is so great that he seldom accepts vaudeville tours. The^ Du Gros trio are daring gymnastswho inject plenty of laughter into their offering to counterbalance the serious work. B. F. Keith's theater will be open Sunday afternoon and evening with offerings by professional singers and instrumentalists.

tle form will be missed and oh. so dence of B. E. Burk, on the Howley sadly missed by her devoted pp'- farm, mile west of the Boyd ents. We know this is sad, and is 1 school house, 3 miles north and something we cannot understand, but some day when we meet our Savior and our loved ones in the skies, then will we understand.

Dear parents, we would commend you to a Savior who is able to heal your broken hearts and comfort you in this hour. Remember, you now have a part in Heaven little hands are beckoning you to come that way. Dear parents, strive to meet your darling. She cannot come to you, but you can go to her. This is a great consolation in the hour of bereavement. She leaves to mourn her death, her parents, a sister and brother, loving grandparents, and many dear friends who will miss her. "She has gone, how sad and lonely,

Though on angel wings she fled, And the evening shadows, sighing, Sadly whisper, Alma is dead."

The funeral occurred at Brown's Chapel, the services being conducted by Rev. B. F. Dailey, pastor of the Christian church at Greenfield, assisted by Rev. Clawson, of the Methodist Protestant church •«.
