The party broke up about midnight, every- one wishing the couple good luck. Miss Phares will return to her work at the Proctor Hospital the first of the week. Claude Hendrix, the greatest statesman of the age, staged a four-day filibuster in the senate recently. He has shown his ability in many ways. He is running for his second term at the present time and it is evident there will be little opposition. Arthur Dragoo Las just completed the installation of the most power- ful wireless station in the world. It will send messages around the world or to any planet with which he wishes to communicate. It is located on the slack pile south of Elmwood, Ill. Edwin Watkins has been selected from over a thousand applicants as the most efficient operator. The project was financed by Russell Remmele who made a fortune by the in- vention of a sanitary doughnut cutter. A terrible explosion that shook the whole city of Peoria and killed the most of the fish in the Illinois River was found to have been caused by some over worked home brew in the back of Roland Hitchcock's Grocery on Washington Street. Mr. Hitchcock denies all knowledge of the presence of the liquor. Lawrence Harkness, the head clerk is under suspicion but as all evidence was destroyed the government officers will let the matter rest. Damage was estimated at five thousand dollars. 1 The world's champion wrestler will be decided tomorrow night at Ascher's new amphitheater where the Redding brothers have agreed to wrestle. The younger brother Everett now holds the belt and it is thought in most sporting circles that he will retain it. He is not quite as heavy as Walter but he has the advantage with his powerful shoulders. Both men are scientific wrestlers and it will be one of the snappiest matches ever staged. They received their early training under Coach Stinson while at- tending Elmwood High School. The picture rights were granted to the MacDonald studio of New York. The proceeds of the picture will be given to the city of Elmwood to build a High School gymnasium that will be dedicated to the class of '22, Edith Jarman is managing the Hendrix 5 and 10c store of Maquon while Senator Hendrix is attending a special session of Congress. Rumor has it that they are to be mai ried on his return and that they-will travel extensively, spending the winter in the South Sea Islands. It was their plan to be married by the Rev. Mullen in Africa but owing to his unhappy death their plans had to be changed. Herman Shelton is now the head of the college of Agriculture at the U. of I. Many of his numerous experiments are carried out on his farm northwest of Elmwood. The June Bug, a musical comedy is playing its second successful season in Chicago at the Illinois Theatre. Dan Tully is the Star comedian with Irma Caldwell in the Stellar role.

The people are back of her and also a prominent corporation is backing her to the limit. It is thought that one of the largest scandals in the history of Illinois will be unearthed inside of three months. The credit for it will go to Miss Threw. During the uprising of the natives in Belgian Kongo the Rev. Bernard Mullen was cruelly murdered. He has been in a settlement of civilized negroes but the natives of Central Africa had been imposed on by the civilized blacks. They overran the country under the control of the Rev. Mullen and savagely murdered all the inhabitants of the village. Mr. Mullen was held at first as a sort of God, but when he rebuked them for what they had done they slew him instantly. The rebellion was soon put down by the English army and all they lack now is a missionary. Earl Schenck, one of the world's most famous contractors, has ac- cepted a contract for building an aerial railway from New York to San Francisco. He was picked as the only suitable man to take care of the diffi- cult job. Besides surveying, he must build it so it will not lie in the path of tornadoes and it will be necessary to anchor a guiding trail in the air. He hasn't decided on what kind of trail to lay but it is thought he will decide in favor of the Cannon Ball. Society was shocked today to learn that Leon Carter, the great bass singer of the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York City, was missing this morning. When his valet entered his room this morning his bed had not been disturbed. It is feared he has been captured by the order of the Yaller Dawg from whom he has received many threatening letters. Ensley Strappe has been engaged to solve the mystery. He has suffered no defeat since taking up his detective work. He will probably solve the mystery in two or three days and return the great singer to the world. Loren Oakes gave a farewell address to the Mormons today. He spoke on The Sins of the Rising Generation. He has spent most of his early life lecturing on all of the dark subjects of the World. He decided to retire in his middle age so that he may enjoy the pleasure of his wife and family. The classes of '17 and '22 were invited to a party given by Miss Flor- ence Phares in honor of Russel Schori and Miss Kathryn Callister. The young couple are to be married in the fall. Many costly gifts were pre- sented among other things a five hundred dollar bed-room suite presented by Mr. and Mrs. Lee Bitting. Mrs. Bitting was formerly Miss Erma Mc- Kinty of the Class of '22, Margaret Kilpatrick and Elora Burt demon- strated their skill in classical dancing. Margaret is an expert toe dancer. She has a contract to dance three nights a week in Hall's Pavilion at Oak Hill. Elora is a contortionist. She can tie herself in a knot, put one foot in her mouth, chew gum and roll on the floor all at the same time. In her last dance she turned handsprings and wagon wheels for five minutes straight, with as little effort as it takes to walk. Just before lunch, Ruth Caldwell unveiled her latest masterpiece, a beautiful life sized portrait of lllllllllll'IllIllIlllIllIlIIlIIIIIIIIllIlIllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllIllllllIllllIllIlIllllillllIIII!IlIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIllIIIIIIIIllIIIllIlIIlIllllllIIIIllllIIIlllllllllllllllllllIllIllllllllllIIllllllllllIllllllllllllllIllIlIIIIIIIIIlIllIllllllIIIllIlllllllllilllllIlllllllllllllllllllllll - -im ' -Y Y - 4
