During the evening Mrs. Alfred Young, on behalf of the guests, presented Mrs. Easterly with an electric Iron as a memento of the occasion. The presentation poem, entitled "The Nineteenth of June," read by Mrs. Young, is given below : Way off down in a southern clime, So it has been recorded in the book of time, A tall old bachelor wandered one day And found a little widow alone in her way. She was short and pretty and very sweet, He was tall and lank but very slick. Her sweet smiles she then cast at him. And he did not know whether he was fat or slim. But one time his heart got too full for the test. And he popped the question, and this is our best. Right there siie was taken so un aware, That she promised his love and his sorrows to share, And then the next question, what day it should be, To make them a happy one, not two or three; But this was a small question after landing the fish. And poor old Henry was to get his dear wish. So she said, "I think the 19th of June will lie i ne day for us to go to Salt Lake City and see How the Mormons their marriage vows tie. So that we can't break them bv and by." Well, they were married on that bright June day. And then way up north their home they did lay, Until Anna got tired of the cold a little bit. They wandered south and in old Ash land lit. And we are all so happy that this day Has been offered to us to come up here and pay You both our congratulations, and may many years Of blessed union be yours, without tears. After our invitations, we wanted something to take, Just as a token of our love for your own dear sake. - We pondered it over and we pondrtsed it well, But nothing was right and no one could tell, Until Strickfadden, with his wise old knot, Said, "Get her an iron that will keep red hot," And so that we have done, and we give it to you With our good wishes and friendships true, And when things go wrong and your temper is at stake, Just grab up this coil and the iron from the shelf you can take, And attach them together, and the current from above, Always remembering every one of us with love. And now, dear Anna, don't get dis couraged filling Henry with pie, He'll get over that appetite in the sweet by and by. Keep right on and pull his leg, But for another invitation we sin cerely beg. Those attending the celebration were Messrs. and Mesdames Hintze, Nisbet, Applegate, J. F. Rocho, James Sayles and Watkins; Messrs. F. Strickfadden. Cliff Payne and Glen Young; Mesdames Gummaer, Alfred Young and Samuel Williams; Miss Parker. If parents and children only knew what a wonderful man Prof. Lari more is, the children would join his Chautauqua classes. Tickets at re duced prices this week. 2 9 East Main.

In spite of lowering skies, the sec ond annual picnic and reunion of the Iowa Society was a signal success last Friday, about 150 individual members and their friends partici pating In the feast and exercises of a varied nature, embracing musical se lections and short talks on vital is sues, historic, reminiscent and other wise. Fortunately the society met in Grand Army hall, those headquarters affording ample room. Inasmuch as the gathering was driven indoors on account of inclement weather, It was well that the aforesaid hall had been reserved in due season for the re union event. The dinner was all that could be desired, and not only the substantial were in evidence, but many delicacies in addition. Iowans are noted for being "corn fed," but they appreciate the side dishes also, consequently it might not be amiss to state that three gallons of sweet cream, three crates of strawberries, and seven gal lons of ice cream were consumed "on the side," in connection with the main items on the banquet board. After this fine repast there were several vocal selections, Mrs. C. L. Cunningham acting as accompanist. The initial one was the "Iowa Song," by the entire audience; a solo by Miss Esther Silsby; a quartet by Mr. and Mrs. J. H. McGee, Mrs. Burns and Mr. Schwimley, and a solo by Mrs. C. B. Wolf, all of the singers being heartily encored. O. H. Barn hill, J. W. Hicks and C. B. Wolf gave brief addresses pertinent to the day and its observance, brimming over with humor and expressions of good fellowship, while Rev. John McAllis ter, the main speaker of the after noon, supplemented these talks with a most fitting climax to the order of exercises, closing with a due measure of praise for our present surround ings in Oregon, viewed from the standpoint of state, county and mu nicipal environment. Twenty-one additional names were added to the list of 112 enrolled last year, viz.: Mrs. E. J. Wollencroft, Dr. J. P. Johnson, -Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Wolf, J. A. Kohagen, R. L. Mof fitt. J. M. Welch, J. W. Hicks. Mrs. F. B. Welch, Mrs. M. McNeill, George and Casey Van Natta, J. W. Milner, J. M. Brooks, Mrs. John Patty, Miss Alice Finley, J. Howard, W. R. Kin caid, Mrs. H. L. White, Mrs. L. Min gus and Mrs. S. J. Torrence. The choice of officers resulted in the re-election of the old ones, they being Rev. W. A. Schwimley, presi dent; C. B. Lamkin, vice-president; E. V. Carter, treasurer; W. H. Day, secretary; and on motion the officers were to constitute an executive com mittee. Preliminary to adjournment, the society appointed a committee to de vise ways and means to participate in the Fourth of July celebration. Such committee was as follows: O. H. Barnhill, chairman; J. V. Milner, C. B. Wolf, and Mesdames W. L. Moore, C. B. Lamkin and W. H. Day. This committee meets at the secretary's office, Commercial Ciub rooms, Mon day evening, June 24, to adopt a float or other representative feature which shall in the best measure rep resent Iowa in the grand parade in Ashland, July 4. A financial statement revealed the fact that there was a balance in the treasury of $26 carried over from last year; receipts this year, 7 4 mem bers at 25 cents "each, $ 18.50; total, $44.50; expenditures incident to re cent reunion, $29.90; balance, $14.60. The following poem by O. H. Barn hill met with hearty applause, re plete, as it is, with suggestions of the good and bad things left behind in Iowa: Back to Iowa. Take me back to old Iowa, Where there's clover fields and corn, Maple trees and oak and hickory Where I lived when I was born; Where there ain't 'no irrigating, 'Ceptlng from the clouds above, And they work the roads all sum mer Land of Hawkeyes that I love. Take me where there's hogs a-plenty, Fattening steers and colts and calves; Where they ship out things by train loads. Where they don't do things by halves; Where the noble Mississippi Flows along past Keokuk, And the steamboats on Big Muddy Miss the channel and get stuck. Let me hear again the wagons Rattling o'er the frosty ground, Hurrying to the waiting corn fields, Where the ears make cheerful sound As they hit upon the bat-boards. Where by strong, young arms they're throwed Who can beat a husky Hawkeye Piling up a golden load? Take ine where there's good, hot weather, Where the mercury can climb Right up through the torried nine ties, In the good, old summer time. Where the blizzards from Nebraska Come a-whistling o'er the hills, Blowing like a thousand furies, As the air with snow it fills. Take me where the Nlshua Botna Flows through fields of golden grain. Past the town of Shenandoah, Loveliest city of the plain; Where the Western Normal College Lifts its spire to Heaven's blue, Looking o'er the blue-grass praries Don't you want to go there, too?
