he will probably re member the last anniversary of his birth better fhan he did his first It is not likely known to him or anyone else whether there was any element of surprise in the first anniversary of this important event but it will "not soon be forgotten by himself or those who had anything to do with the affair that there was a very considerable sur prise connected with the fifty eighth anniversary It was like this Mrs Lamb sent notices to several of the comrades that there would be a surprise oyster sup per on this occasion and the presence of the person who received the invita tion was requested to assist in dispos ing of the same All the arrange ments were perfected and so carefully was the work handled that the victim was kept in total ignorance of the fate that was awaiting him He attended the regular meeting of Grand Army post last night as is his habit and leisurely made bis way to his home on north Race street after the post ad journed When he arrived he 'found that about twenty of his comrades whom he bad seen just a short time before at the post ball had proceeded him and were in full possesion of the house The surprise was complete and he very gracefully surrendered Even if he had been disposed he knew enough about military tactics to know it was useless to try to get out of ambuscade in which the odds were much against him In due time oysters were served Mrs Lamb assisted by some of her neighbors and friends and this part of the program was thoroughly enjoyed by all who were fortunate enough to be present Later tin the evening there was a visit from the Standard male quartet who rendered some lections which were very greatly predated As a closing piece of entertainment two of comrades took occasion to go out a short time and when they returned they brought a rocking chair which another comrade presented to Mr Lamb He responded in an appropri ate anil feeling manner and then it was thonght by those not in the secret that the surprises were over but it was not so The door again opened and another rocking chair was brought in Rev Wolfe took charge of it and in an appropriate speech presented this chair to Mrs Lamb Then the honors were considered about even and after general congratulations all around the visitors took their depart ure Altogether it was a most pleasant evening and will be long remembered by all who had any part in the ar rangement of the affair CREAM BALM Accident Sabbath Morning hich was Nearly a Tragedy of Cod liver Oil will sooths strengthen and probably cure' The cod liver oil feeds and

Occasion iy Daily Clarion riday Yesterday was the thirtieth anni versary of the marriage of Dr and Mrs Pumphrey These anni versaries had become so numerous and so common that they had grown into the habit of allowing them to come and go without any special thought about them It is that way with most people Certainly Dr and Mrs Pumphrey were not giving much thonght about this anniversary yes terday probably they had forgotten entirely that It was an anniversary occasion But their daughter Miss Laura had been thtnking about it sometime be forehand and she had determined not to allow the occasion to pass un noticed She sent ont Invitations to some special friends requesting them to inJ and spend the evening in an informal way These invit tions were sent without the knowledge or consent of the parties for whom the affair was arranged In order' to carry ontthe plansit was necessary to practice a little de ception but these things are excus able under such circ*mstances es pecially if the deception results Ina successful surprise as it did in this case Quite a little company of friends came in response to the in vitation and a most pleasant evening was spent Light refreshments served as an incident of the evening and the hours were well spent in so cial intercourse At a late hoar the visitors departed after expressing to Dr and iMrs Pumphrey a their heartiest congratu lations and wishing them happy returns" Miss Laura was also the recipient of congratulations on the success of her conspiracy and be cause of the enjoyment that had been afforded those who were In it Daily Clarion Monday The annual meeting of the Gibson county association closed Saturday at noon after having been a most profitable and enjoyable gath ering in many respects The exercises

Hall A vocal solo by Miss lorence Strain was a pleasing diversion Miss Strain received hearty applause and responded to the encore A paper written by Miss Ann Dun can was read by Miss Laura Moes It was entitled Phases of the Child Stndy Movement in Connection with the Public This proved interesting to the audience and de veloped many points from which profit will be derived Miss Effie Kolb then sang a sweet song to the great delectation of all her irers Previous to adjournment a lot of miscellaneous matters received atten tion The report of the committee1 on resolutions a copy of which is

Mining Company operating the Maule coal mine arranged an impromptu Thanks giving celebration yesterday which was an enjoyable affair Hasty in vitations were sent out to citizens and business men Mr Oswald promising a nicentertainment and a good time In response to these invitations quite a number of people assembled at the coal mine about two in the afternoon A platform had been erected on the grounds 5 and oh this was a piano composed of Messrs Stewart Noble Kidd and Ward was present to furnish vocal music and a mandolin club composed of three of our best colored musicians was on duty to furnish instrumental music Gathered about tha jstand was a representative crowd of business men and mine employes President Os wald called or order and made a brief introductory speech He ex plained that the affair had been hastily arranged and gave several reasons for having such a gathering He said it was the intention of the newmining company to have the best of feeling between employers and employes and that the co operation of the citi zens would be a big help He said he hoped to establish a precedent by this celebration and that our national holidays hereafter" especially the Thanksgiving occasion would be obr served in some such a manner when ever possible At the conclusion of his remarks the male quartette sang a selection which was loudly ap plauded Mr Oswald then introduced ex Mayor James Gamble Mr Gamble made a very fitting and timely speech in which he said that he felt everyone within the sound of his voice had something to be thank ful for He gave a brief history of the origin of the Thanksgiving obser vance and enumerated many things for which people in all: lines of life could be thankful His speech was well received and was accorded hearty applause There was more music by the quartette and the man dolin club and then Mr 'Oswald an nounced that the assembly would be given a treat Baskets loaded with rich fruit such as as apples bananas etc were passed around the crowd and everyone was invited to help themselves The fruit looked tempt ing and there Was no hesitancy in ac cepting this sort of an invitation ol lowing the fruit came cigars for everybody and while the fragrant smoke curled in the crisp air the ex ercises were continued farther Mr Oswald gave a talk concerning the Intentions of the new mining company He said the company pro posed to tarnish the product of the mine in first class condition His re marks were devoted'to the quality of this product composed with the pro duct of other mines and made the statement that no coal in Indiana or Illinois could equal the Princeton coal producing documents which con clusively show the truth of his state ments He asked for the moral sup port of Princeton people asked them to assist in pushing an enterprise which will bring many dollars to all lines of business in this city His talk was to the point and made a good im pression on his hearers 1 A Mr Ostranger a traveling man from Indianapolis who lay interested in coal mining gave a short talk in which he praised the Princeton coal and the Princeton mine in the highest terms He said our people should be proud to know that the finest coal mine which had the finest coal in the state was located at Princeton He urged our people to work for their own interests by working for the in terests of this enterprise Concluding he gave the following for a motto: people for Princeton in terests Princeton interests 'for Princeton This apt remark brought forth applause and cheers and it was evident that his talk will be the means of much good There was more music and the crowd dispersed all feeling in good humor and all resolved that they would not hereafter sit idly by and let such an enterprise as this mine go unappreciated The miners and em ployes of the company enjoyed the treat and this will certainly be the means of seenring the interest of the employes our citizens generally and the country at large in the develop ment of our rich coal fields Albion Journal Edwards county circuit court terms have been Jong widely famous for their brevity but it remained for Judge Newlin to break the record in one particular He impanneled the petit jury at half after ten Tuesday and adjourned court at eleven for lack of business At one the afternoon court conven ed again and within half an hour af terward the jury was permanently dismissed without so much as being called to sit upon a single case Just one witness appeared to claim his fees for the proceedings The Journal doubts whether this record has ever been equaled at a regular term of circuit court in any other county of Illinois JMfts Princeton Royalty Manufacturing Co 7 I1 7 iBDoratlon lntroduced at Coni Mine Thursday Afternoon as a Thanks giving
