st, Johns Day in the Evening.

The Masonic Lodge room was
crowded Friday night with an elo-
giant assemblage of ladies' and gen.
tlemen to participate in the est.
Johns Day" celebration. After pray
or by Rev. A. c, Diddle and delight
full quartet led by Mr.. Frank Wal
Ter, Mr.. Bryan Hopper opened the
exercises with an admirable address
on "St. Johns Day" reviewing the
past of Masonry in a very interesting
manner. Col. j. w. McPherson's
address on "Masonry' was a fine i'm
promptu efIoit made still more inter-
esting by the graceful spontanieiy
and warm imagry of extomporiza-
ton. Mr.. w. w. Clark spoke on
"The Lodge Ills speech was ele-
gantly finished, the diction chaste,
the thought clear and the delivery
manly. Col. r. w. Henry discussed
"The Distinctive Characteristic of
Humanity and Masonry" summing
up his remarks in the words "Broth-
erly Love-" His speech was well
thought out and adorned with many
"a gem of purest ray"
The solos of Miss Clayton Dagg
and Mr.. Frank Waller, the quartetts,
and the vocal duet by Mrs. Anderson
and Miss Jacobs were all heartily
encored. II was universally regret
ted that Miss Jacobs voice was not
in condition 10 render solo, as the
high quality of her vocallzation was
manifest in the Duet. Miss Fannie
Eairleigh delivered a recitation in
most winning manner, developing
the dramatic element in flue style
She was warmly applaudod.
The audience was then invited tc
partakc of refreshments served in
elegant style. The ices and othel
dolicacies were a BETTING climax Il
the preceding feast of reason. TIT
company adjourned with an exalted
idea of Masonry, and the newspaper
fraternity was so overcome by tn
kindness of the order that il is pow
erloss to express It's gratitude.

WANTED.
The National Garment Cutter Go,
Wants You to Call and Ex.
anime the Cutter.

Many spend hundreds of dollars
and months of time in practiclng in
studying tclegraphy and book-keep-
ing, intending to make il means of
support and wait patiently for an
opportunity to use the knowledge 80
gained. Ii they would learn TO use
the Garment Gutter they could make
better living, as cutter that is
posted can always get work to do.
As matter of economy no family
can afford TO be without the Garment
Cutter. When the cutter is used in
the family and dresses made at home
as a rule the mothers and daughters
can have twice the number of dresses
each year as they could if the dresses
had to be hired made, and two
dresses instead of one means great
deal to many hard working wo-
man or even the careless young lady.
Many husband and father work
hard for a living for their families,
aud then in addition to the purchas-
ing of material for the dresses are
compelled TO furnish money for the
making of them when the daughters
are doing nothing at home. The
money so spent ought to be saved, to
say nothing of the Independence and
self respect preserved by the families
of such men. The masses of people
need TO use more practical common
sense in these matters. No govern
ment can afford to send TO other ma
tons and buy all the manufactured
goods, neither can a family afford to
follow such a principle.
Ayoung lady can learn to use theNa-
tional Garment Cutter and make her
dresses in a much more satisfactory
way than is usually done by dressmak-
ersand atithc same time save money
enough to buy a better dress than the
one first finished. But so far nothing
has been said of the immense savings
in the way of cloaks, wraps and doll
mans and as a rule dress makers are
not qualified to make stylish, good
litting wraps as their systems of cut
ting do not apply to such garments.
The latest fashionable method of
cutting dresses, wraps and etc., is by
the tailoring methods of work, and
the National Garment Gutter is simI-
ly the tailor's rules simplifed until
any one can readily use them.
You are cordially invited 10 call
and examine the cutter and Judge for
yourself Mrs Sterling will spare no
pains in explaining the work and
showing you the principles of the
much needed Garment Cutter.
Very Resp't.
En-. STIRLING.
The National Garment Cutter Com
pany represented by Ell Sterling, be-
gan operations here Dec. Goth last,
but owing to bad weather, they have
been little slow in getting their
work introduced. They have now
got fairly started, however, and
judging / from the testimonials
from home people, AZ we'll as personal
examination Of the cutter, we do not
hesitate to pronounce their apparatus
and method far superior to anything
of the kind that has ever come under
our observation.

THREE HAPPY PEOPLE.
Fred Hofer, Gotlieb Blaser and Mrs. Milierman Receive $I5,ooo From the Louisiana State Lottery.
Rock Island luh.) Union. March sl.

Rock Island (Ill.) Union. March Sl.
 It having been reported about town on Thursday afternoon that Mir. Fred Hofer, of this county, had that day received $15 5,000 through the Citizens National Bank, of Davenport, from the Louisiana State Lottery, a representa- tive of the Union took train to Tay- Tor Ridge and then drove out three miles to his abode. Mir. Hofer was found to be a native of Switzerland, who came here about three years ago and is anable to converse in English, but the reporter fell back on his Ger man, through which language the re- quired information was gained. The first capital prize of $S00,000 in the grand quarterly drawing of The Louisiana State Lottery of March IS was drawn by ticket No. 51 ,57o. This ticket was sold in subdivisions, and Mir. Hofer held twentieth portion, not all of which, however, was his own. Some little time before he had tried his luck on fractional ticket in previous drawing, and had been awarded $10. He wrote to President NJ. A. Dauphin to keep the money and send him other tickets. and in return received twentieth interest in the ticket which drew the capital prize of $300,000. Two-tenths of this interest he sold to Gotlieb Blaser, fellow countryman and farm laborer who now finds himself possessed of $3, ,0oo :; and one- tenth he assigned to Mrs. Ja- cob Millerman, in satisfaction of a washing bill of $1-so that Mrs. Millerman can proclaim herself the champion washer-woman of America, in having realized $1 800 in washing the clothes of one man. Mir. Hofer, who has Sl0,500 of the Sl5,000, is about 32 years old, and MT. Blaser is 23. Both are unmarried and are em- ployed as laborers on the farm of Mir. A. Weaver. They propose now to buy farms of their own, Mir. Hofer in- vesting s9,000 in this immediate vi- cinity an3 MT. Blaser his full s3,000. Mrs. Millerman is the wife of & farm laborer and the mother of three chil- dren, and will contrive with her $l,- 500 to provide comfortable home for her family. All three were seen, and all were as happy as can be imagined over their good fortune, which will make life much easier and pleasurable for them.

government does not stint dignities and rewards for any display of skill and forethought on the occasion.
 On the other hand, the punishment is swift and the degradation complete for all the officials concerned when any accident occurs to the embankment from any cause, preventable or other wise. The people have therefore the knowledge that a reasonable amount of care is exercised over each of the sections into which, for working pur- poses, the course of the stream is di- vided. AS further precaution, they resort to ircantations >and sacrifices with the view of sppeasing the water spirits. Here, also, rewards and pun ishments come into play. Should 8 threatened outbreak be averted after one of the ceremonials, the deity spe- cially implored is honored with elab- crate oblations and additions are made by imperial decree to his names and titles. The same god, however, will be subjected to an ample share of abuse should all appeals to him turn out to be fruitless.
