A. Kauch and Walter Kauch, were suppcened, and appeared before the probate judge on Wednesday to testify in the contest case wherein M. Glenn is contestant and C. E. Wight-man is contestee for the office of representative.

Judge VanNoy's court seems to be a protracted affair. A great many witnesses are being examined in the contest case now pending between Glenn and "Wightman on representative.

There is not a more popular young lady in Tribune than Miss Polly Hor ton, the beautiful and accomplished daughter of the incoming probate judge. She has attained this distinc tion by her good-natured and loving disposition, and freeness from affectation in manners.

The entertainment at the school hall on Christmas eve was an enjoyable affair, and appreciated alike by old and young. Maici old age ana joyous youth mingled harmoniously in the gay festivities, laying aside and forgetting for he time the trials and perplexities of every day life, and entering heart and hand into the effort of being happy, and making every one else happy.

In the back ground, an evergreen from the mountains of Colorado, tastilv mounted and decorated with its precious load of gifts, representing values of from a few cents to many dollars but of far more value to the recipients as tokens of remembrance from friends or loved ones. An interesting literary program had been arranged for the occasion, consisting of music, recitations, essays, all of which were well rendered. The most original and heartily appreciated performance of the evening was the song by Mrs. Proctor's infant class, composed of twenty-five little boys and girls. There were no pretentions or assumed airs in that of little ones, and the angels might well have rested while they sang.

After the conclusion of the literary program came the distribution of presents, every one in the audience receiving something. A sack of choice candy, nuts, pop corn and oranges was presented to each child and apples and pop corn balls wrere given to the older persons. Besides the general distribution arranged by the committee, Mr. and Mrs. J.
