AS your correspondent has not mo-
ticed any items from this part OF the

Mrs. Nichols, who has been quite
sick for several weeks, Is improving

Mr.. Cramer, dur new and enterpris-
ing blacksmith, Is fast glining a repu-
tation ns first-class workman. We

son as teacher. We understand that
spelling school Is well attended OH Sat-
urday evening.
The United Brethren anticipate
building new church ut this place in
the near future. They have quite an
amount already subscribed. This will
be quite an improvement for this place.
The standard-gauge train ran of the
track as 1t was ascending the foot of
Wards butte last week, but fortunately
no one was hurt. Another engine was
telegraphed for and the damages re-
paired.
The people of this vicinity appear
rather ari-tocrnt;c since they have a
new railroad. We hope the n g. Is
forever a thing of the past This Is a
good location for grain elevator, ms il

In justice to our business men and
the town generally, we must say that
the exaggerated reports which now
and then find their way into newspa-
pers, concerning the prevalence of scar
let fever and diphtheria among us,
must be taken with the usual discount
of sixty per cent. There are no cases
of the former disease in eur town, and
the latter disease, in a somewhat mild
form, is confined to two or three
homes, which have been quarantined,
so that ne fears are entertained of its
spreading. The same caution and
dread which would keep people out of
Lebanon at this time is exemplified in
the individual who hung horse plan
kel on the clothes line to prevent the
introduction of smallpox from Mexico.

Montague must he rreparlng for .

Montague must be preparing for a
boom, judging by the way he is stock
ing up his Mammoth and One-Price
Cash Stores. BY purchasing his goods
in such large quantities he naturally
gets much lower prices. He guaran-
tees good goods in all the departments
of his extensive establishments at
prices that absolutely astonish other
merchants in the valley, some of them
going so far as to say that Montague
retails his goods as low as they buy
them at wholesale. The careful buyer
invariably goes to Montague's.

There are Il certain class OF Boys ABOUT
every town and city Who APPARENT do
nothing but loaf, smoke cigars end cigar
cites. and are neither help to their parents
Dor an ornament to society. Nine-tenths
of the c6pvicfs In the penitentiary were
street loafers when they were boys, and
preferred to get living IN some other way
than by honest labor and the sweat OF their
brow. Too many boys are growing up 10
ldleness and are letting golden opportuni-
ties rdss by unheeded. Your boyhood days
are rapidly passing By, and you will soon
be called upon to take up the cares ana re-
sponsibilities Of manhood.
A good education is offered to you in our
public schools. and one that will fit you
for ali active duties Of life, but you are let
ting this precious gem slip through your
fingers and instead Of embracing this OPP
portunity of securing good education, as
your parents wish you to do, you are seen
on the street corner, stunning your Mental
and moral powers by the use OF narcotics.
BOYS there is future before you. If life
is worth living IL Is worth living right.
Get an education, learn n trade and try
and make man of yourself, and let the
world be better by your having lived in it.

The valuable invention of the compass Is
involved in mystery and its real discoyerer
is unknown. Lafteau, in bis history OF the
Portuguese discovery in the new world,
says that Vasco da Cana brought 1t to
Lisbon from the coast Of Africa on his re-
tnrn from Melinda, where the Arabs then
used it. and he believed the Portuguese to
have been until then ignorant Of it. Some
attribute it to Flavia Gioja, OF Amalphi,
about the year 1902; while Others again are
Of opinion that the invention is due to the
Chinese. and that one Of their emperors, a
celebrated astrologer, was acquainted with
it 100 years before the Christian era; nor
have Others again been wanting who have
supported the opinion that It was known
in the time Of Solomon The ancient
Greeks and Romans are also supposed by
some TO have used it, but the silence OF
their historians on this subject renders this
statement doubtful.-New York Ledger

Growing near the baths OK Alliaz, IN tho
Canton of Naud, Switzerland, almost
within a stones throw of the most popular
hotel $3.50 feet above the level of the sea,
stands the most remarkable tree in the
world. The trunk Of the tree is ten meters,
or a little over thirty feet, at the base. AT
about two yards above the ground it puts
ont on the south side seven oifshoots. Bent
and gnarled mt the bottom, these side
trunks soon straighten themselves up ana
rise perpendicular and parallel TO the man
stem. This feature is lot perhaps wholly
