NEW CENTURY RECEPTION-
Del tfhtful Entertainment Given to
t-’ Bachelor Girls of Cassville.
Our most ambitious twentieth
century women think they can pry
into the new era with their blue
glasses and discern a time when
beaux, gallants and sweethearts
will be relics of the past as much
as the lover knight of the twen
tieth century; that the present age
is the lan chapter of romance, and
that the dream of Princess Ida is
rushing upon us.
The danger of their prophecy
seems verified by the new century
reception on Tuesday evening.
Mrs. G. H. Headden entertained
the bachelor gills at her home iu
a most novel and delightful way.
Rooms were arranged for amuse
ments of every kind, and the en
thusiasm with which everything
was carried out fairly proved that
sentiment is not essential to pleas
ure, nor a sweetheart necessary for
enjoyment, for never since the
time of the first “maid” was so
much fun crowded in one little
evening. The following menu was
served;
Turkey Celerv Chicken Mayonaise
Salmon Salad Crackers Oliyes
Chocolate Cake.
Our dainty grandmothers of a
century ago would hold up their
hands in holy horror to see their
granddaughters trudging through
the dark to a reception without an
"escort.” The bachelor girls in
vited were: Misses Cliunn, Saxon,
Louise Price, Pierce, Emma Price,
McTier, Befta, Carrie and Nellie
Smith, Milliollin, Ida, Lena and
Nannie Leat, Fullilove, Sloan and
Dodgeu. At twelve the party had
to say good-night, and all went
home wishing that every reception
for the centur) would be given to
the bachelor maids.

A HALF MILLION CASES
Of LaGrlcpe Now Reported in New
York.
New York, Jan. 10. —Grippe is
epidemic in New York. It is not
so virulent as in past years, but
there is a good deal more of it.
Estimates from a large number of
physicians indicate that probably
there are more than 500,000 cases
of the malady in greater New
York today. Peculiar evidence of
the prevalence of the disease} and
the kind of people who are most
liable to be attacked is furnished
in the abnormal falling off in at
tendance at the city theatres.
The managers at first were great
ly puzzled by the situation. They
decided to investigate. A deputa
tion was sent to a number of lead
ing physicians, who all said that
grippe was everywhere, and that its
victims were almost exclusively
among people who go out at rfight.
Business has in all branches been
greatlv affected by the prevalent
epidemic. The managers of the
larger stores are complaining of
the serious depletion of their staffs
of clerks.

MRS- NATIONS RELEASED-
Declares That Things Will Be Made
Torrid for “Joints.
Wichita, Kas., Jan. 15. —Today
quarantine was declared off at the
county jail and Mrs. Carrie Na
tion, charged with smashing saloon
fixtures, was released on bail in the
sum of S2OO. Her trial has been
reset for next Monday.
After Mrs. Nation had been re
leased on bond by Judge Kirk, she
said:
“Thank you, judge, and God
bless you/’
Later she said t* some of her
friends:
“I’ll now begin to make things
warm for the violators of the law.
Other temperance women will as
sist me, and we will not rest until
all the joints are closed.”
The saloon men have their
places guarded by “spotters,”
fearing that Mrs. Nation may do
some damage before she leaves
town.

BAKER TRIAL ENDSIN MISTRIAL-
Jury Was Out 100 Hours Without
Reaching an Agreement.
Atlanta, Jan. 13. —The jury en
gaged in the trial of James L. Ba
ker, the Fulton county wife mur
derer, upon a plea of insanity, af
ter being locked up for over one
hundred hours, lias been discharg
ed and a mistrial ordered by Judge
Candler. This result was reached
through a conference held last
night over the telephone between
the judge of the court and tl\e at
torneys interested in the case.
Judge Candler was at his home in
DeKaib county quite sick with
an attack of the grip, and the sev
eral attorneys representing the
state and the defense were at their
homes The Baker jury was dis
charged last night. All of them were
pretty well worn out by their close
confinement, and in addition were
in need of clean clothing and com
fortable home beds to sleep in.
The attorneys and Judge Candler
last night came to the conclusion
that it would be punishment to
members of the jury to keep them
in confinement any longer, as it
was evident that no good could
result by holding the body togeth
er any longer. It is understood
that the first vote and the last vote
taken was the same, four that Ba
ker was insane and eight that he
was not, and that all other votes
cast in the jury room showe * the
same result. The result of declar
ing a mistrial in this case will be
that the trial of Baker upon the
plea of insanity will have to be
gone over again,'and tuat in addi
tion to this the governor will have
to grant a fu.ther respite in this
case, as the limit of the time named
in the last order granting a respite
has about expired.
GREATEST FLOW ON EARTH-
Enormous Output of New Texas
Oil Gusher.
Beaumont, Tex., Jan. 13. —
Thousands of people have visited
the immense oil well near this city
today. The Sabine and East
Texas railroad, which runs within
about 400 yards of the well, has
been running passenger trains to
and from the well every two hours
since 9 o’clock this morning, every
train of .five coaches having been
crowded with people.
James Garritt, of Corsicana, a
banker and prominent oil man of
that place, saw the well today. Ue
said it was perhaps the largest flow
of oil in existence.
It is understood that a large sum
of money is offered for anyone who
will succeed in stopping or con
trolling the flowing three days, and
it is estimated that 60,000 barrels
of oil is on the prairie.
The future development of the
oil fields in this county and about
this city is one of the most impor
tant matters connected with the
present exciting times. There are
already several large syndicates for
development of oil formed,and many
others are in process of formation.
