THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs
Celebrate the silver Anniversary Of
the Organization.

Tuesday, the 10th inst, was the
twenty-ffth anniversary of the or
%grnization of the Knights of pythias
Lodge, and Brown Lodge No. 30,
of this place, celebrated the event
by giving a supper in their hall to
their friends, which proved to be
the g%randest affair occurring in
Kingwood for many a day.
Each member Of the Lodge invi-
ted his friends, and more than one
hundred persons were present to
enjoy the hospitality of the Lodge.
About eight O'Clock those invited
began to arrive and soon the large
room was crowded and all seemed TO
vie with each other in making the
occasion a grand success, and they
succeeded admirably. The bounti-
II lsupper, consisting of all the del
icacies Of the season, besides tn.
plenteous supply of ''substantlals,
were served in regular Delmonieo
style. After supper the room was
kept filled with either vocal or in
strumental music until about II
o'clock when the Closing Ode Of the
Lodge was sung and prayer offered
by the Prelate which closed the first
part of the evenings program.
Then really began the enjoyment Of
the evening. Music and mirth was
everywhere. 1t seemed as though
Longfellow had anticipated this oc-
casion when he wrote:
And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares, that infest the day,
shall fold their tents, like the Arabs.
And as silently steal away"
Could the founder Of the Knights
Of Pythias order have bcbeld the gay
scene he certainly would have been
Convinced that his efforts were not
in vain, and that the order he or
gained accomplished much more
than he ever anticipated it would.
But we could occupy much up ice in
talking about the affair but space
will not permit. The costumes Of

Practice Which Threatens Great Oar

N Practice Which Threatens Great Dam
age to Northwest Grain Business.
ST, PAUL, Jan, 1.-For some time the
elevators of Minneapolis have been mix
ing grades, andDuluth having just heard
of it, is angry to a degree, and says it
has as good a right as anybody to mix
wheat. The practice threatens a perma-
nentd deterioration of grades in the state.
a result which would be of great dam
age to the grain business of the entire
northwest. The spring wheats of Da-
kota and Minnesota have always main
tanned a high standard in the markets of
the world, and it is to the interests of
the mill men that this reputation i lould
be continued. In every case the losers
are the the milIers and the ON
summers. If any should havethe ben
etit of the mixing the farmers and pro-
ducers are the men. The mixing, how
ever, is not done until after the grain
goes from the hands OF the farmers to
the middlemen, who are the gamers. The
mlllers get a low grade of wheat while
they pay for a high grade, and in the
same way the consumers pay for a high
grade of -four and are sometimes not
able to get it.. The result is that the
millers and consumers are the direct
losers. In addition to this the repnta-
ton and quality of the Northwestern
wheat and flour is subjected to almost
irreparable damage, and the farmers
are injured in the same proportion as
their proaucts.

Panic in a Church.

CARLISLE. Pa, Jan. 1.-On Saturday
night a panic occurred in the Lutheran
church in Stoughton, this county, result
ing in serious injury to a number of
persons. The Union Sunday school was
celebrating Christmas, and the building
was crowed to its utmost capacity. Soon
after the exercise began a loud creaking
noise was heard, and an instant later the
floor began to sink. The scholars and
others present became panic-stricken
ard made a rush for the windows and the
doors. The men smashed out the win
dow panes and a number were seriously
cut. A number of the women and
children We're trampled upon in their eff
forts to escape, and the following were
injured:
Newson Goodhart, cut about the face
and internally injured; condition critical.
Nellie Stouffer, internally injured.
James Oser, leg and arm broken.
Charles Hall, internally injured and
can not live.
Lottie Cromer, arm bruised.
An examination of the building was
made and it was found that the sills had
broken and the floor had sunk to a depth
of tentinches.

The confession also stated that one of the

family who should try to escape. But
the slowness of the.fire alarmed them
and they fed. News just received is to
the effect that persons five men

A Bold

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. IA daring and
successful robbery occurred in the money
order department of the Indianapolis
postoffice. johnson, chief of the money
order division, was persuaded to 20 out
to the sidewalk to see d mar in a buggy.
While he was out another man had en-
tered the Office and filled his pockets
with graenbacks to the amount of about
81, 800.
A peculiar incident in connection with
the robbery is that one of Johnson's as
sistants returned from dinner and saw
the thief coclly picking up the money.
The clerk was in the rear, and witnessed
the theft through a glass partition. He
says he supposed the man was a special
agent of the p~ostoffice department, and
had right to take the money, SO he
waited outside until the special agent
finished his business. The exact amount
stolen is S2,46S. Only an hour before
the robbery, Jones, the postmaster's
son, had cleared the desk of some "a, 600
and deposited it in the bank.
