The Body of Miss Cherrie Walton of Chicago, who died in that city last week of typhoid pneumonia, passed thru this place for Volo, her former home, where the funeral was held on Sunday. She was the daughter of Robt. Walton and about eighteen years of age. The toboggan slide is being railed the entire length, thus making it per­ fectly safe from accidents, and will be open again tomorrow evening. ' The military band will be present two or three evenings a week and the man­ agers will leave nothing undone to make it pleasant for all. McHenry's toboggan slide is in a flourishing condition and was opened last evening with a big crowd, the military band furnishing music for the occasion. The slide is 800 feet long and greased lightning is nowhere with the speed obtained in the descent. To know how it is yourself you must try it. In the Osborn County Farmer, pub­ lished at Osborn, Kansas, we find an account of the silver wedding of Mr. and Mrs. John M. Smith of that city. Their old friends in this village and vicinity join with us in wishing that the fates may spare them to celebrate their golden wedding twenty-five years hence. We learn that Theo. Smith, son of John W. Smith, was seriously injured last week by being caught in the shaft­ ing of an elevator, in Nebraska, where he was at work. Several ribs were broken and he was bruised and man­ gled in a horrible manner. At last accounts he was alive, but was not ex­ pected to recover.

CLAKA COURT HOLDS INSTALLATION. St. Clara Court, VV. <J. O. F". ISio. 659, of St. Mary's Catholic church here installed its recently elected officers on Thursday afternoon of last week and at the same time the members cel­ ebrated the court's sixth anniversary. The high chief ranger, R. D. Rittman, deputized Mrs. E. Steilen of St. Susan­ na court of Chicago to install the of­ ficers, which she did in a highly ef­ ficient manner. The officers installed were as follows: Chief ranger, Jo­ sephine Heimer; vice chief ranger, Helena Heimer; recording secretary, Christina Neiss; financial secretary, Josephine Olson; treasurer, Emma Miller; trustees, Emma Barbian, Eliz­ abeth Schneider and Kathrine Meyers; conductors, Kathrine Worts, Kathrine Schneider; sentinels, Gertrude Niesen, Elizabeth Niesen. The installation was followed with the partaking of a dainty luncheon and toasts. In the evening cards and dominos were played. In the card games the first, second, third and fourth highest honors went to the ladies in the order named: Mesdames K. C. Schneider, E. Kenne- beck, A. Stoffel and M. Bonslett. The successful contestants in the domino games were Mesdames M. J us ten, K. Meyers. K. Weber and K. Worts. At the close of the games refreshments were partaken of, after which all re­ turned to their homes with the feeling that they would never forget the sixth birthday anniversary of their order. It was to be regretted that the severe cold weather kept quite a number of the sisters from attending the event. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. Council Rooms, Jan. 2, 1912.
