The musical recital given by Miss
Lucile McDowell’s music class was
enjoyed by everyone present. The
pupils rendered their pieces well in¬
deed, and showed that they had been
instructed by a thorough and compe¬
tent teacher. The pieces were diffi¬
cult ones for beginners, but were
played as though they were played
by skilled musicians. Declimations
were had between the music. Es¬
pecially were the duets fine, and the
songs and speeches by Sarah and
Henry Anderson enjoyed. After the
recital the young people enjoyed
games of “42.”

Making Great Preparations for
Rushing Business During Christ¬

On another page of today’s issue

tisement of the Stationery & Nov¬

made unusual preparations for sup
plying the people of this section with
the various articles suitable for pres

tractive of any they have ever had.
This firm is a very progressive one

SEN. MONEY CHOSEN
Democratic Party Leader In the

SUCCEEDS CULBERSON
Senator Bacon, of Georgia, Had Been
Mentioned For the Honor, but He
Refused to Allow His Name to Be
Used—Shively Vice-Chairman.
Washington.—In caucus the demo¬
crats elected Senator H. D. Money, or
Mississippi, as minority leader of the
senate to succeed Senator Culberson
of Texas, whose resignation was pre
•ented. Senator Culberson resigned
on account of 111 health.
Senator Bacon, of Georgia, had
been mentioned very prominently for
the chairmanship of the caucus, but
would not consent to be a candidate
In any cense if it involved a contest
with Senator Money. Senator Ba¬
con had been approached with an
ofTer of the chairmanship when it
was understood by some of the lead¬
ers that Senator Money, on account
of the recent ill health, might not be
i candidate. The senator from Geor¬
gia replied that should such circum¬
stances develop, he would consent to
be a candidate, and not otherwise.
Senator Money, now serving the
last year of his term, has been in the
senate twelve years and was vice
president of the caucus when Sena¬
tor Culberson resigned.
Senator Shively, of Indiana, was
elected vice-chairman.
"WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC.”
Immigration Commission Probing Into
Revolting Conditions.
Washington.—Stories of revolting
practices of American and foreign
procurers of women for importation
into the United States for immoral
purposes are told in a report issued
by the immigration commission. The
recommendations of the commission
contemplate a closer scrutiny into the
admission of alien women and re¬
newed efforts to stamp out the so
called "white slave traffic.”
In explanation erf the act of laying
bare to the public the details of dis¬
coveries by its agents, the commis¬
sion says that the "white slave traf¬
fic” is the most pitiful and the most
revolting phase of the immigration
question. This business has assumed
large proportions, and it has been ex¬
erting so evil an influence upon the
country that the commission declares
that It felt compelled to make it the
■ubject of a thorough investigation.
