CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES.

Christmas in Aberdeen was observed
by all the big folks as we'll as the little
people, every one seeming to lend them.
selves to the spirit OF the day. All Of the
churches observed the day in an appro-
pirate manner, and the smiling faces Of
the happy children amply repaid those
who had labored for their enjoyment.
Old Santa Claus seemed little more
lavish than the preceding year or two,
and we doubt if there we're any who did
not receive visit from him, even if they
could not hear the jingle of his bells, for
instead Of clustering snow the soft CHI
nook blew and the sleigh and the bells
had been left behind at the crossing of
the mountains.
The Episcopal church had their exer.
cises for the children Tuesday afternoon
at four o'clock. They were very short,
but appropriate. Christmas morning at
nine o'clock services were held, conducted
by the Rev. Edward Davis and closing
with the administration of the sacrament.
At the Congregational church short
program Of song by the choir and congre-
CATION preceded the distribution OF the
presents from the tree, which bore gift
for every one, and which brought smiles
to all the little ones.
At the Presbyterian church the exer-
cises were held Christmas afternoon, the
little church being prettily decorated and
containing large, well-laden tree. DIR.
Thompson talked to the children, and
a few songs completed that part of the
program, following which came, to the
impatient little ones, the more interesting
part.
The Methodist church had two trees,
and every child present received some
thing, whether member of the Sunday
school Of not. A Santa Claus assisted in
distributing the gifts. The following pro-
gram, interspersed with songs, was had

The much talked OF and anxiously
waited for ball Of the Aberdeen Bachelors
Club took place as announced, on Christ
mas eve, at Koehler's hall, and as re-
suit Of the efforts Of these ''slngle blessed
ness" gentlemen there was an array of
animated splendor, beauty and gaiety
such as never before gathered within the
hall. Aberdeen's Two Hundred were out
en- masse-that number being somewhat
less that were present-and beautiful
ladies', clad in beautiful party gowns, the
appropriate and pretty decorations on
the walls and ceiling, and the solicitudc
and careful attention OF the several COM
mites for the comfort and enjoyment Of
their guests, made it an event long to be
remembered by all present. Upon the
walls Of the hall hung nine paintings.
representing the different phases, trials
and hardships, OF bachelor life, and sub.
sequent welded bliss. In No. he was
alone in his small room, smoking pipe
and cooking meal which he must par.
take of in solitude; in No. 2 he was
washing the dishes he had eaten from,
while several had dropped to the floor
and broken; No. represented the lonely
bachelor washing his clothing in water
pail, without the aid OF a wash-board or
boiler (and, presumably, soap; while in
Nos. 4 and 5 he was mending his pants
and socks, respectively; in No. he was
upon his hands and knees scrubbing the
floor Of his room, thinking the while, IS
a motto on the wall Of his room indi-
Gated, "What is home without a wife,;
"Almost persuaded" was No. 7, wherein
he WAS looking upon the picture Of the
girl he loves, whom he thought he could
live in happiness and contentment with
out; he succumbed to the wiles of Cupid,
however, for No. represents him as pro-
posing to the lady; while No. 10 shows
our lonely bachelor transformed into a
happy benedict, surrounded by a wife
and two children, and upon the wall Of
their pleasant room hung the motto "God
bless our home" Emblems of bachelor
hood in the shape OF buttonless and seat
less trousers and holey socks were also
displayed upon the walls.
Refreshments, delicious and in plenty,
were served at the Sherman House and
Pratsch's Hotel, the large company be-
ing about equally divided between the
two places. Excellent music was fur.
nished by the Aberdeen Orchestra. The
hours fitted by 80 swiftly that Merry
Christmas day was far advanced when
the happy party dispersed, with hearty
praises to the Aberdeen bachelors.

"Going into Decline" How often do
we hear this expression. What does it
mean? 1t means that people are losing
flesh, growing thin, wasting.
The way to correct this condition il to
improve the digestion. The condition
arises from an inability to eat and digest
food. In fact, food does more harm than
good, because it ferments and putrefies
in the stomach, developing poisonous
substances which when absorbed cause
various disorders.
What is required is that the stomach
be made to perform it's duties. The
Shaker Digestive Cordial is food already
digested and digester of foods as we'll.
1t will make the stomach healthy. Get q
book from the druggist and read about it..

DESTRUCTIVE GAS EXPLOSION.

A Business Block Wrecked and Other
Damage Caused Mt Anderson, Ind.
ANDERSON, Ind, March 5-The most
destructive natural gas explosion in the
history of the Indiana gas belt occurred
here at o'clock this morning. A $4,000
business block on the court house square
was blown all over the central part of the
city. In the building were a clothing store.
Prather's shoe store, Hadley's drug store
and a large number of business offices and
halls on the upper floor.
Fire followed the explosion. which was
like an earthquake, and the remains Of the
debris began burning fiercely.
The entire fire department was called
out, and prevented the fire from reaching
the new court house.
Attorney Ballard and County Commits
sioner Metcalf lived in rooms above the
When store. and it is feared they have
persisted.
The loss on the building and contents is
total, and will reach 100000.
The fronts Of all business houses in the
neighborhood of the explosion were demol-
ished, paved streets ripped open and tele-
phone cables torn down.
How the explosion occurred is a mystery,
but results are very much in evidence, as
debris blocks that section of the city in
which 1t took place. It was just about
daylight that the shock was felt, which
shook everything within the corporate
limits of Anderson, and sent pieces of
wood and glass, office furniture and bricks
flying in all directions.

Death Of Henry Ran.

Ex-Detective Henry Raft bldied in St
Elzabeth's Asylum for the Insane about
10 o'clock this morning, after an illness
of nearly two years. Deceased was forty
two years old, and was born near Bethle-
hem. Pa. For several years he kept dry
goods store in this city, and about 1881 he
was given a position as license inspector.
So successful was he in this business that
in May, 1888, Commissioner West appoint
ed him member of the police force, and
two months later he was made a member
of the detective corps. While serving in
this capacity he did great amount of good
work, but during the last few months he
was in the service his actions changed.
In February, 1892, he was reduced to the
ranks, and a year later he became insane.
He went to the stores of a number of mer-
chants and ordered goods TO be sent to
his house, and this was the first conclusive
evidence he gave of being of unsound mind.
Soon he became violent and had to be
watched, until he was sent over to Mount
Hope for treatment, but as he continued to
grow worse he was brought here and put
in st. Elizabeth's. Deceased leaves
