The cause of McCreeditt's Beavers
making the showing that they did lant
Sunday is no mystery to the ople of
St. Helena. On Kunday morning before
the train left for Portlano there was
much stirring around and business on
the streets, and when the bus left the
postollice it waa loaded, and many had
to waik to Houlton. When thev had
all gathered at the station die re was any
nurnbt r of excuses for the trip. - Attor
ney J. W. Day said the only reason be
waa on hand was b. cause he bad a rain
checli ; Ed BitUagh said he was there
became he had ticket to Portland
given to him ; and there was any number
of other excuses. A. T. Laws, 8. C
M ton, Jack p.iia, Ed Bennet, Peter
Brnkke, Wm. Carey, Ed Peters and
some others whone.nao.es we do not
know, and the editor were among the
bunch.
t has. D. Whit-, the Houlton inerch
anl, diove into town Wednesday morn
ing with a young Cougar in litis wagon
that he had shot near the home of N.
1'inckney, at Caric o. Tho brnte meas
ured kbout six feet from tip to tip, and
looked like lie would ne a bad customaa
to meet on a dark nigh. Mr. White
was out with ouple of "varmint" dogs
(that is, dogs that will not cluse deer,
I ut are tleatU on an.vtl.ing . else) and
they ran the cougar up tree, one shot
from his 30 .10 bringing it don with a
hole through U head. There is a
bounty of flO On cougars, and it is
good one. A ugnr, the old timers say,
wil! kili mere deer in a season than any
ten men. A man who gets one of these
beaMs does a lot for the deer of the
rounty. Ti.e foregoing definition of
"varmint" dng is one furnished by
Mr. White, and as he ii an experienced
hunter must l correct.
Annexation Carries
The election Saturday resulted In lavor

and Columbia Park by a large majority.
In the territory to be annexed the vote

sgainnt. That is as near unanimous as
one could expect.
Commercial Club Meeting
The next meeting ot the St. Helens
Coiumereial Club will be held in the
council room in the City lla'lnn next
Wednesday evening, and there will be
a lotof itiiMirtant business on band for
Consideration. Tlana will be made) fur
the coming winter, and it ia to le hoped
that the attendance wi l include every
business man siul everyone interested
in the' growth and advancement of St.
Helens.
Baseball Dance
The St. Helens baseball team will
give a dance at the City Ha'l tomorrow
night, and the public Is invited to at

Local Boys Arrested
Henry Beaver, aged SO and Jake Ras-tutn-eti,
aged 111, are now under arrest
and in the (all at this plnre, having con
fessed to trying to hold ;p Mrs. Selene
ou the Of tit of this month, at her home
on PauvifS Man I. The boys came down
from Portland that evening and got otT
at Johnson's crossing. They are report
ed to have been under the influence of
liquor, and going to the home os Mrs
Selene they demanded her monev or ber'
life, and were told to go ahead and hetpf
themselves. They searched the house '
but failed to find a small sunt that was
bidden. Deputy SherilfLake Investigat
ed the matter and soon suspected Beaver
ot being the guilty party, lie waa
brought to this plane and on being ques
tioned, soon admitted his guilt. It is
somt'thlog that is to lie regretted iu
maiig waos, as Heaver's people are
among the rutt resected and oldest
settlers in this Section. We hope that
there will be clrcn instances connected taken part in by all the granges
with the matter that will enable the j 0f the country, receiving the sup
jndgetbat they come before to let the port of the different commercial
boys off with ss light pnnishment bodies and some encouragement
po -Ms. 'from the County Court.
The Grange Fair
Yankton Grange No. '301 held
its annual fair at the Grange
Hall at Yankton Thursday, the

cess that has attended their pre
vious ventures in this line. The

from all parts of the county be
ing present, and the exhibits
were of a surprising quality and
variety.
The first prize for the best gen
eral exhibit was captured by G.
L. Tarbell, who had a display of
farm products that would have
been a credit to a whole neigh
borhood. His exhibit was made
up of 105 different things, and
all of them were needed to beat
the displays that were there
from the farms of Frank Brown
and C. C. Moyer, who got away
with the second and third honors
respectively.
The other prizes were awarded
as follows, first, second and
third being received by persons

The exhibits of needle work of
every description attracted more
attention than anything else,
and was of a quality that Would
be hard to beat. There was a
large amount of it, and it was
beautiful. The first prize was
won by Mrs. Roland Masten for
embroidery and for the collective
exhibit, second by Mrs. Delmer
Masten and third by Mrs. Ray
Tarbell. For crochet work Mrs.
Ray Tarbell received the first
