Councilman Chas. M. Rosswog re
turned on the Jefferson from a visit to
his old home at Quincy, 111. Charlie
had a mighty good time, but when he
got to the Middle West he sufFered from

Last Monday night the Douglaf
branch of the I. 0. R. M. gave a social

of musical selections. A bountiful
lunch was served. The Red Men is the
youngest of the fraternal orders ir
Douglas, but it is making splendic
growth.
Captain Nord of the Jefferson say*
that the report that his ship struck oc
the way south is absolutely withoul
foundation. A small Joak around the
shaft made it necessary to put her or
the dry dock and at the same time thej
painted her bottom, which made her e
day late, The captain does say that oc
the trip south he encountered one ol
the worst storms he ever saw on this
coast and he put the Jefferson behind
Mary island for 11 hours waiting for il
to subside.
Among the same are Ladies'
Enameled Pearl-set Chatelaine
