, • Wednesday evening Mr. Morgan

united in marriage in a very pretty,
but quiet home wedding, at the home

ing a perfect bower of pink roses and
smllax,, while the dining room
beautifully festooned with the P. E. O.
colors, green and yellow, with yellow
chrysanthemums and smllax as the
flowal effect, proved equally artistic.
At nine-fifteen, to the strains of
Mendelssohn's wedding march, the bri
dal party, approached the bridal bow
er, led by Rev. Mr. Parker, of the Me
thodist "church, who read the beautiful
ring ceremony, which made the happy
pair one. The bride, handsomely
gowned in white lace, set with medal
lions over white taffeta silk, with
white bridal veil, fastened by a mag
nificent cluster diamond ring, was ac
companied by Miss Nan Greenhow, al
4 so in white, as maid of honor, and Miss
McManis, as bridesmaid, in a gown of
v pink. The groom was attended by
Messrs. Arnold Frankel and Charles
Macauley as groomsmen.
* After the ceremony the guests re
paired to the- dining room, where
Misses Lydia Boyd and Lesley Wil

Both Mr. and Mrs. Heap have been
residents of this city for a number of
years and have a large circle of
friends who wish them joy in the jour
ney through life. The bride as a
member of the P. E. O. has made
friends everywhere by her splendid
character and in her position as as
sistant In the state land office, has
made as many friends by her cour
teous attention and accommodating
manner to those who have had occa
*8ion to visit that office. Mr. Heap as a
member of the "Homeless Twenty," is
regarded as a founder of the city, and
has friends galore, made by his manly
character and business ability.

FOOTBALL IIBIE
NEXT SATURDAY
Twin Falls Will Flay Pocatello
High School.
LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL IN FINE CON
DITION FOR GAME.
Spy from Pocatello High School At
tempts to Get Signals. Basket Ball
Game la the Morning.
Next Saturday the knights of the
gridiron will meet in battle at the ball
park, when the Twin Falls high school
team will play its second game this
season with the Pocatello high school.
From the reports that have come
down the line, the Gate City lads think
they have a cinch and are prepared to
walk all over the prostrate frames of
the boys here. Coach Pierce has a dif
ferent opinion and has been making
special effort since the Albion
game to strengthen the weak spots in
the team work and is pretty confident
that his protegies will play all around
the visitors. The boys have a light
team compared with other high
schools, but they have in a large de
gree made up for this lack of weight
by the speed with which they get into
every play. This fact, together with
the more open plays of this year,
should go a long way toward making
them formidable opponents of any
team in the league. The game will be
called at 2:30 and every rooter in the
city should turn out and give the home
team good support. There is nothing
that puts a team on its mettle like
good backing from the rooters.
The basket-ball and foot-ball teams
are practising very industriously for
their games with the Pocatello high
school next Saturday. They expect a
desperate struggle and are preparing
for it with a vim. The basket-ball team
has a reputation to sustain and the
foot-ball team is working as hard to
establish one. The boys are somewhat
riled over the fact that a Pocatello
youth was on the field Monday evening
and procured their signals and a num
ber of their pet plays before they were
aware of his presence.
In the morning the high school girls
will play basket ball with the girls
from the Pocatello school at the ball
park at ten-thirty. The girls have the
last year's team for the most part, and
have every intention of winning from
their rivals by a heavy score. Get out
and cheer for them and also help to
pay expenses by your two bits.

FIRST LECTURE COURSE.
Franklyn Pierce Jolly Jollies the Twin
Falls Crowd.
The auditorium was packed last
Tuesday evening on the occasion of
the first number of the lecture course.
Franklyn Pierce Jolly of Joliet, cer
tainly was a credit to his name and to
the subject "The Jolly Side of Life."
Every word of his lecture fell upon
appreciative ears and his portrayal of
the jolly way showed him not only a
master of the art of being jolly, but
having the gift of character deliniation
down to the same degree of perfection.
His marvelous word imageries and
mental pictures were fully accentuat
ed by his brief transmission to pathos
and vivid description of the San Fran
cisco disaster. His interpretation of
James Whitcomb Riley completely
won his audience.
The next number, Manager Colles
claims, is the star number, and the
four musical artists should be greet
ed by a magnificent house. It will not
be Twin Falls' good fortune to secure
many such attractions. The follow
ing short sketch of the artists may
serve in a way to enlighten the Twin
Falls people as the treat which Is in
store for them October 22:
Forrest Dabney Carr, the eminent
basso cantante, late of the Maurice
Grau Grand Opera company, is well
known throughout the United States
as an artist of exceptional ability. Be
sides his grand opera experience he
has been on tours for the Damrosch
and Seidl orchestra, the Clementine
De Vere and other concert compan
ies. He possesses a voice of remark
able compass, powerful and under ad
mirable control, and a stage presence
at once dignified and graceful, and it
has placed him in the foremost ranks
of grand opera singers. As a concert
singer he is exceptionally fine, and in
cludes in his repertoire the best that
can be had in ballads as well as the
leading bass solos from the famous
in
in
a
operas.
Florence Gertrude Smith has gen
uine dramatic ability as well as a
beautiful colorature soprano voice. As
prima donna in opera she has sung in
almost every city of over 10,000 inhab
itants in the United States and Can
ada, having appeared in over 1,000 op
eratic performances in the last four
years; therefore with her experience
and that of Mr. Carr, these two artists
are able to give duets from scenes in
grand and English opera as a promin
ent feature of programs.
Earl J. Pfouts is one of the most
talked about and talented violinists
in New York City today. Only four
years ago Mr. Pfouts came to New
York from Chicago, where he had been
studying with Leopold Kramer with
splendid success. Upon his arrival
in New York he went to Max Bendrix,
and afterwards to Michael Banner, oc
casionally playing concerts in a mod
est way, until one day a famous im
pressario heard him play and imme
diately engaged him as soloist for the
great Duss Festival Concerts, Military
Band and Symphony Orchestra Con
certs held at Madison Square Garden.
After having played a week, so great
was his success that he was at once
re-engaged for another week. Mr.
Ovide Musin, the great Belgian violin
ist, was in the city at the time and was
so impressed with Mr. Pfouts' playing
that he offered him his magnificent
Strad. to play on for the farewell con
cert.
Edwin M. Shonert needs no intro
duction to the American music-loving
people. As a pianist Mr. Shonert has
certainly held his own, having played
in many transcontinental tours with
many of the great artists of the world.
He is one of the few pianists who
possess plenty of temperament with a
great technic, consequently his suc
cess is always Instantaneous.
Falls Heir to Fortune.
Rumor has it that the news agent on
the Minidoka-Twin Falls branch will
soon
left to him by an uncle in New York
City. It is hoped that it will turn out
to be the truth, as "Ike," as he is call
ed, is a prime favorite with the trav
eling public.
A law firm of New York City has
been tracing him for more than a year,
trying to find out if he was living or
dead, and through a firm in Salt
Lake, finally located the gentlemen on
the branch line. The amount coming
is something like $50,000, and will fix
the gentleman in good shape for the
rest of his days.

SPRAGUE DRAWS
D'LONG PRIZE
Drawing Held Wednesday After
noon Attracts Crowd.
TRUSTEE OF DeLONG ESTATE FUL
FILLS PROMISE OF CLIENT.
Hill & Taylor's Office the Center of
Attraction While the Contest Was
On.
Two years ago M. D. DeLong placed
his property adjoining the original
townsite on the west, on the market
in one-acre tracts and to every pur
chaser was given one chance on the
remaining property which contained
the DeLong home. The house and lot
were to be awarded by lot as soon as
the whole number of lots, thirty-two
in number, were sold. The lots sold
rapidly and were disposed of some
time ago, but in the meantime Mr. De
Long, who had gone to France, died
across the seas and the estate passed
into the hands of a trustee, Richard
Cookingham, of this city. Due to the
fact that the property was scattered,
a delay was caused in settling the af
fairs and so the drawing was not
made possible until yesterday, when
the holders of the thirty-two numbers
were notified to be present at Hill &
Taylor's office for the allotment.
M. S. Cookingham of New York City,
attorney for the estate, conducted the
drawing and 6aw to it that the num
bers in the box were thoroughly mix
Miss Brittomart Wolfe, blindfold
ed, then drew out the lucky number,

gue, who became possessor of a good
house and two acres of property worth
$2500.
Due to some mistake, it was an
nounced at the drawing that C. E.
Booth was the holder of the number
19, and it was not until the news came
to the ears of Mr. Sprague that the
mistake was .discovered, and it was
found that Sprague's number was 19
and Booth's number was 9.

SCHOOL NOTES.
Ola H. Miller entered the commer
cial department this week. Our high
school now numbers one hundred and
twelve.
The census report of this district
shows 610 boys and 487 girls between
the ages of 6 and 21, a total of 997, of
these, 388 boys and 401 girls, a total
of 789, were enrolled in the school the
first month. While this is an unusual
ly large per cent of enrollment, we
would like to see more of the older
boys in school. The entire school made
an average attendance of 97 per cent,
for the first month. This is seldom
equaled.
The high school pupils, under the
direction of Miss Ross, will give a mus
