the crop of 1902.

A Feature For the Future.
Commencing next week, or at
the latest, week after next, we will
donate a column of the Enterprise
to original recipes furnished us ex
clusively by that past master of
the cooking art, J. Geo. Stoll. You
all know be is an artist, but to
those who are not acquainted with
nis record we will say that M.
Stoll is equal to the best in the
land. He has been a chef in the
Auditorium hotel of Chicago, the
leading hostelry in the West. The
Rio Grande dining car and hotel
service was under his charge. The
Knutsford, of Salt Lake, grew
under his charge to haye one of the
k...i tnhlpn in th West, while
numerous other establishments of
equal renown have utilized his ser
vices. One further fact: Mr. Stoll
Warned his trade under bis father,
who is royal chef of Switzerland.
In securing Mr, Stoll's services we
are certainly to be congratulated,
and our readers should avail them
selyes of the opportunity of pre
serving the articles.
Lait Thursday the board of di
rectors met and supplied the two
vacancies in the public school fac
ulty by electing Miss Maud IlifT, of
this city, and Miss Snyder, of Ea-
gene. Miss mil is a comparatively
recent arrival from the East, and
gives, every promise ot being a
most useful member of the faculty.
Mies Snyder comes equally well
recommended.
Fingers Iiadly Cut.
J. D. Wood, an employe of the
Charter Oak Mill Co., of Airlie,
was in the city Monday. Saturday
before, while working near a rapid
ly revolving circular saw, he came
iu contact with it aod the ends of
three, fingers were cut off. Tbe
wounds are painful, but further
than that no serious injury is ex
pected. The Kecital.
Buena Vista Special
The United Evangelical church
in Buena Vista was the scene of an
interesting event Friday evening.
Early after the close of the busy
day people of all ages began flock
ing to the church to be present at
the musical recital given by Rev.
Kelly's class advertised to take
place at 8:00 o'clock. An under
current of subdued excitement was
noticeable im the crowd, for nearly
everyone present was interested in
a greater or lesser degree in some
pupil who was to perform; while
yisions of a generous collection, to
be awarded as a prize, kept the
performers in a state of pleasurable
anticipation. While all did well,
we think special mention should be
given the numbers rendered ky
Misses Maggie and Carrie Evans,
of Parker; Amy and Winnie Kelly,
of Independence; j Edna Hall and
Hermann and Mildred Prather, of
Bueiia Vista,
, The judges were instructed to
give credits on position ' of student
at the instrument, expression, ren
dition and personality. , Miss Win
nie Kelly received the prize, which
was a collection amounting to$ 2.27.
The decision of the judges was well
received by the audience. Miss Kel
ley having given her number with
much taste and expression.
Nearly all present at the recital
attended the ice cream social at the
school house and the occasion was
enjoyable. The proceeds realized
by the Aid Society amounted to
$17.20.
Card of Thanks.
We desire to thank the people of
Independence who so kindly ad
ministered to us during our be
reavement in the death of our be
loved wife and mother.
