day, the most of the men were iu con
dition to go contentedly back to their

all the best ones are gone.

Mr. George Riedi informs us that he
has taken his son, Alfred, into partner
ship in the Douglas City Bakery. Some
time after the first of the year Uncle
George intends going to Warm Springs
bay to try the healing virtues of the
water as a remedy for rheumatism
which is giving him much trouble.
Invitations to the marriage of Leo
nora Bach, daughter of Judge Bach of
this city, to Mr. Wihlmer George Ed
win, at Prestou, Washington, came on
the last mail. The ceremony will take
place at the Swedish Baptist church at
Preston on New Year's eve. The many
Douglas friends of the bride will join
in wishing the couple much joy.
Last evening Mrs. W. R. Jariell and
Mrs. R. R. Hubbard eut.ertained, at the
home of the latter, the "Eight Sixteen
Club" and two especially invited guests,
the Misses Carpenter aud Edmunds.
The most interesting source of amuse
ment was a Christmas tree, with which
and a Santa Claus an interchange of
presents was effected. There was
something for everyone. Cards were
introduced and "hearts', took the place
of the usual "500." At the conclusion
of the merrymaking a supper was
served by the hostesses.
Jim McKanna, armed with a kahki
satchel and a silver-plated badge, is
busily engaged in counting the people
of Douglas. It is nothing uuusual to
see him hot-footing down the street
after a Slavonian who thinks he is
about to be drafted for military service
and is trying to make a get-away. At
one place the lady of the house refused
him admittance on the plea that she
had no use for enlarged pictures. When
all else fails, Jim displays the badge
and that subdues the most unruly.
Look Here!
We have just received a fine line of
new Razors. You do not have to coax
