JU N E 22, 1011 Mrs. Martin VV. Krumm Dies. i W IL L IA M E. BO R AH. O United States Senator from Idaho. Senator Borali is now in the limelight, because of liin success in pulling the direct election bill through the U. S senate, provid ing for the election of U. S. sena tors by a direct vote, a thing that no other senator has been able to accomplish, though attempted hundreds of times. Senator Bo rah is now seriously considered as the running mate of Taft for vice- president next year. Refreshing rains the past few days have made the world look brighter. Church Dedication. Several of Nyssa’s citizens journeyed to Caldwell last Sunday, and witnessed the dediction of the new Methodist Church, recent- completed in that enterprising city. Bishop Smith of Portland preach ed in the morning to an overflow ing congregation, and Dr. Mont gomery of Minneapolis, Minn., in the afternoon and evening. In the morning under the inspiring leadership of Dr. Montomery, the remaining debt of $15,000 was taken care of by pledges and so in the evening, the Bishop dedi cated the church free. Caldwell may well be proud of her new Methodist Church for it is a credit to her enterprise. In style, it is decidedly Grecian,there being only two other churches in the Uniteti States built after the same design, and no doubt it will answer the needs of the Methodists of Caldwell for many years to come. A Double Birthday Party Miss Elsie Gibson and Dallas Duncan, whose birthdays occur on the same date, gave a joint birth day party at the residence of J. M. Duncan last Friday evening, Miss Elsie celebrated her 18th anniver sary, and Dallas his 17th. Quite » large number of their friends and school mates were in attendance, and a very pleasent entertainment is reported. Having shored up the Sherman law. the supreme court feels that it can safely go away for its sum mer vacation. YEAR. 5c P E R COPY J. J. Hash Saves Boy from NYSSA SPECIAL PROGRAM OF Penitentiary.
