At Committee Meeting of the Ep-
worth League of the Wesley Chapel
". E. Church, the following resolu-
tions were adopted:
WHEREAS: 1t has pleased our
Heavenly Father to remove from our
midst our beloved sister Miss Clara
N. Daugherty while we mourn the
loss of one so young in years, and
one that gave such evidence of true
child of God, and remember with
love her grea. interest shown in
Church work, therefore be it
Resolved: That while the loss is
keenly felt. our loss is her Eternal
gain and being impressed with the
uncertainty of life and the import
ance of improving the time that is
allotted us, SO that when we are call
ed, we may be as her, ready, for in
the hour that we think not; the Son
of man cometh.
ResOLUsd: That while we mourn the
loss of our dear sister we mourn not
as those without hope, and it seems
right that God is choosing a plant
from this earthly wilderness to put
in the Heavenly garden should take
our brightest and best.
RESOLVED: That the dark cold grave
had no terror for hor for she gave
evidence that she could take the
wings of the mourning and fly away,
aud as an Epworth League, Sabbath
School and Congregation, we feel we
shall miss her yet we feel her exam
pie cannot be buried from our sight,
and her sudden death should be a
warning to us all.
Resolved: That we as q society eX.
tend our heart sympathy TO the be-
reeveG family and friends, and to all
those who so faithfully ministered to
her at her last sickness.
Look up dear parents in hope and
in trust for your aifectionate daugh,
ter now sleeps with the Just, through
her absence your home has been
made lonely here. Look up, sad be
reaved ones, be Of good cheer.
a precious one from rs has gone,
voice we loved is s.illed,
A place is vacant in our home,
(Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given.
And though the body slumbsrs hero,
The soul is safe in heaven.
ReSolUed: That our Charter be

ARTESIAN WELL COMPANY.
To be Organized to sink for Water on
Crane creek.

James NJ. Harbert, OF whom mention
was made In the last weeks INDEX. re-
turned from Crane creek Thursday
where he went to investigate the coal
and artesian well proposition. He is
not very favorably impressed with the
coal prospects but thinks that good
quality might be struck at greater
depth than the ledge which has been
exposed which burns fairly good. The
indications for artesian water on Crane
creek, Mr.. Harbert thinks are excellent
and at a meeting at Mr.. John Wheel
houses OF all the citizens on the creek.
it was decided to organize a company
and sink well for the double purpose OF
finding water and coal. That strong
flow Of water win be found is almost a
certainty and if a good quality Of coal
is found the Crane creek country
Will witness some surprising develop
ments. The extent OF the tillable land,
il artesian water can be had, is very
great and would furnish excellent homes
for several hundred families. Every
farmer on the creek attended the meet
ing and are very enthusiastic over the
matter.
1t will be perhaps three months before
Mr.. Harbert can get his well boring out
fit into the country and in the mean
time will sink a well on Mr.. John Smear
ages big ranch ten miles north Of
Emmett.

years and up to three W 9eks ago Mrs
WenZel had worked Il little vegetable,
garden. She had become much at
tached to the place, and, despite her,
advanced years, she was at work,
daily in the garden. She lived alone,
her four children being married.
Some time ago the city decided it
wanted the property as a site for an
addition to Il school house. She re
fused to part with it, but the city &C

the walls of the room in which she sat,

FOR THE TEETH.

Some Good Rules to Follow in the
Care Of Them.
One Of the most skillful dental sur
geOns in New York gives these rules
for the care of the teeth:
Use Il soft brush and water the tenn
perature OF the mouth Brush the
teeth up and down in the morning, be
fore going to bed, and after eating
whether it is three or six times Il day.
Use good tooth powder twice Il week
not Oftcner, except in case of sickness
when the acids from Il disordered stom-
ach are apt to have an unWholesome
effect upon the dentine.
Avoid all tooth pastes and dentf-
frices that foam in the mouth; the lat
ter is Il sure sign Of soap, and soap
Injuries the gums, without in any WAY
cleansing the teeth.
The very best powder is of precipi-
tated chalk; it is absolutely harmless.
and Will clean the enamel without af
feeling the gums. O11.is root or a little
Wintergreen added gives a pleasant
flavor, but i'll no way improves the
chalk.
AT last Il quart of tepid water should
be used IN rinsing the mouth. A tea
spoonful OF listerine in half n glass of
water, used as a gargle after n,eals. is
excellent; it is good for sore or loose
gums; it sweetens the mouth and is =
valuable antiseptic.
Coarse, hard brushes and soapy den
tifrices cause the gums to recede. Ieav-
ing the dentine exposed.
Use a quill pick if necessary after
eating, but piece of waxed floss. is
better
These rules are worth needing

from the stern of a steamboat lying at
