BAND CONERT.
The Carmen Military liand
gave its first concert in the Audi-
torium on Monday night Janu-
ary 2 and everybody *ays it was
a succcss.
The dumb bell exercise by Dr.
Ira Bartle and class of little girls
•was very fine as was the song by
Dr. Bartle and 'diss McMillan.
The violin Solo by Mis* Thom-
as was a rare treat and she was
calhd back by an appreciative
audience iora second selection.
Miss Macy, the elecutionist
gave a reading that was simply
grand and was the ffneatever de-
livered in the city.
The old fiddlers contest was
something new and there was
but two contestants Jess GambiU
and J. C. Cubbison who fiddled
<ta they did when they wtrebovs
tnuch to the delight of tne audi-
cnce, J. C. Cubbison was awarded
the prise, a $10 leather violin
case.
Chas. McAllister tripple tong-
ue trombone solo was received
with loud applause and was fine
as Charley is one of very few
trombone (lasers who tripple
tongue.
We might go on and mention
the individual work of each mem-
ber but epace will not permit, but
they all did fine and we are con-
fident that the next concert will
draw a much larger house.

Fortieth Anniversary.
Saturday O. E. S. and Rcbekah
lodges of which Mr. and Mrs.
James McAllister Sr are honored
members, prepared a sumotuons
banquet in the Odd Fellows hall
in honor of Mr. and Mrs. McAll-
isters 40th wedding anniversary.
It was with difficulty that they
were induced to go to the hall,
but after much coaxing and
schccming they went to the lodge
room and the surprise was com-
plete, as a reception of this kind
was not even dreamed of. The
lodges presented them with a fine
dinr.cr stt and water service. It
was the pleasure of the editor of
the News to be present and it was
good to watch the happy, smiling
faces of these two people, pio-
neets here in Oklahoma, as they
looked into the faces of those
priseut and heard their words of
welcome and wishes for many
mere sr.nivetsarics, continued
good health and prosperity.
Mr. and Mrs. McAllister wishes
the News to thank each and every
one for the lcnitid reception and
elegant presents as they were so
overccme by surprise that it was
impossible for them to say any-
thing in the hall.
It is such gatherings that fill
life full of joy and create a tic
that death alone can sever and
for time being takes us from the
thoughs of the busy bustling
world to something more pleas-
ant, that of fraternal love.

B. B. HUCKLE AGAIN.
B. B. Hue Vie, alias W. B.Hcu
derson, who is wanted for swin-
dling in Reagan county and
against whom similar charges
are made in Sterling, Tom Green
and other western counties, sur-
rendered Thursday to Tom Wood
sheriff of Sterling county and is
now in custody at Sterling City.
Huckle got in his work on sev-
eral business firms in San An-
gelo about a year ago. It is un-
derstood that he will be delivered
to the authorities of Reagan
county and will be taken to Stiles
as that was bis principal field of
operations Huckel's victims are
losers to the amount of $15,000 to
$20,000 as a result of the activity
of this very smooth manipulator
Officers and citizens of this sec-
tion have been very energetic in
their efforts to secure the person
of Huckle, and have kept the
trail so hot that the wily rascal
at last surrendered, as he would
certainly have been captured.—
San Angello, Texas, Standard.
After learning all that is pos-
sible about the man and his
methods the editor ot the News
is thoroughly convinced that he
is the same man who lived in
Alva a number of years ago and
sold mortgaged cattle to our
people.

Marinette, Wis., Sept. 25,1908.
I waa all ron down from nervous-
ness and overwork and had to resign
my position and take a rest. I
found that I was not gaining my
strength and health as fast as I
could wish, and as your Wine of
Cardui was recommended as such a
good medicine for the ills of our
sex, I bought a bottle and began
using it. I was satisfied with the
results from the use of the first
bottle, and took three more and then
found I was restored to good health
and strength and able to take up
my work with renewed vigor. I
consider it a fine tonic and excellent
for worn-out, nervous condition,
and am pleased to endorse It.
