CAMBRIAN NATIONAL GLEE SINGERS The concert was probably one of the finest which has been heard in this city for some time.

Each singer has been a prize ner in the national eisteddfods held yearly in Wales. These musical contests are held yearly and are taken part in by a great many accomplished musicians. The singers who took part in last night's concert have all won their laurels in the competitions, and are on a six week's tour in the United States. The program was well chosen and contained a good variety of selections. Both in chorus singing and in solos the Glee Singers being obliged to respond to encores several times during the program.

The voices of the singers were well balanced. -Schnectady Gazette, Oct. 23, 1909.

The Telephone Gets There When Joe Yokum, of Welda, reached the city this morning on the plug there was a telephone message awaiting him telling of his brother, Daniel's, death at Colony. As soon as he could talk with Colony and ascertain the facts of his brother's death, he put in a call at Central here for his brother, John, at Vilas, Colorado, 650 miles away and sixty miles from any railroad. The Bell telephone is the only line of communication with this part of the country. In just fortyfive minutes from the time he put in his call, he got his brother and had done his talking with him. On account of a storm ragging there, which makes overland travel risky, the brother will not be able to come.

Had it not been for the telephone line the brother could not have been reached except by letter, but our Central did the work and did it mighty quick. E. J. Johnson and wife, who has been visiting his brother, J. N.

Johnson, on North Oak street since Sunday, left this morning for their home in William, Iowa. They have been visiting relatives in Oklahoma. Miss Laura Johnson, their niece, accompanied them home to spend the winter. The City Council meets tonight. DANIEL W.

YOKUM DEAD FOUND LYING ON THE FLOOR IN HIS FICE THIS MORNING D. W. Yokum who has been engaged in the grain and coal business at Colony for a number of years and is widely known all over Anderson county, was found dead at seven o'clock this morning by J. O. Southard, of Kansas City.

Life had been extinct some time when the body was discovered lying on the floor of his office. The gas was turned on. He left home this morning to catch the early train north and as it was late the supposition is he went to his office to wait and turned the gas on and falling asleep was over come with the fumes. He leaves a wife and two grown daughters, one now Mrs. Smail, of Colony, and one living with her mother.

Mr. Yokum was a genial, honorable business man and a whole-souled citizen, aged about fifty years. His death will be a loss to the business interests of Colony. He will be buried at Colony tomorrow we understand. DEFAMED JURY, FINED $100 E.

M. MEYERS, OBJECTED TO DECISION IN. APPEAL TO REASON CASE Trenton, N. Nov. 15-Edward M.

Meyers, of Redbank, N. was fined $100 today by Judge Cross, in the United States court, for the illegal used of the United States mails. Meyers sent defamatory postal cards to the members of a Kansas jury which convicted a socialist editor for the same offense. It will be recollected that Eli Long, of this city, Steve Thorn, of Kincaid, and others from Anderson county were on the jury in the federal court at Ft. Scott, which convicted the editor of the Appeal to Reason.

Ever since that Mr. Long and the other jurors have been receiving the most abusive letters and postal cards, most of them from this man in New Jersey and others. Some of the cards received by our home jurors were turned over to the United States postal authorities and no doubt were used in the conviction of this man. The Appeal to Reason has kept up its abuse of the judge and jury ever since the trial. Died in Kansas City The infant child, Dorothy, daughter of Wm.

Blum, of Colony, died at Kansas City yesterday in one of the Infant's Homes and was taken to Colony last evening for burial accompanied by Mrs. Ellen Blum, of Ottawa, and Frank Blum, of Kansas City, grandmother and uncle of the child. It will be remembered Mrs. Will Blum died about three months ago. Change of G.
