pleasant occasion.

The Good Templars hall was crowd !
ed Monday evening with invited
guests and members Of the order who
had gathered to enjoy an entertain
ment and social The programme
consisting Of vocal solos. reading, etc,
was brief but very pleasing. The
passing of cake, lemonade. and oranges
was greatly enjoyed By those present
and made up for the shortness of the
literary portion Of the entertainment.
A prize contest, Guessing Geograph-
ical Names" took the assemblage TO
task. A list of fifteen words were
given each one. the letters being in
imperfect order, and they were to put
them in proper shape so as to spell
the names of certain cities OF the Unit
ed States. Seven complete lists were
handed in and two with only two
cities named, necessitating the giving
OF new lists to those persons. Mrs.
A. M. Staubly was the first to conf
plete the list and was given first prize,
scarf pin, and Miss Lorena Mason
the BOBBY prize, a pretty @ little doll
baby. All then INDUCED in social
intercourse until the time for parting
arrived. The lodge has only been or
ganized short time and has already
membership Of forty-five. Their
many friends wish their efforts un-
bounded success and hope to meet
them soon again on another such oc
casion.

Engine Turns over.

Shortly after ) o'clock Tuesday
morning, the engine which was be-
ing used to haul the stone from Bak-
er Bros. stone quarry while travelling
at high rate a speed jumped the
track, tried to climb bank, and
turned over. About forty loads of
stone are hauled from the quarry each
night and the work was about COM
pleted when the accident occurred.
The short line on which the wreck
occurred was built especially for the
quarry company and abounds with
steep grades. Only two loaded cars
can be taken out at time, and this
proved too many on this occasion. for
when the brake chain on one Of them
broke the engine was unable to hold
them and the train DATED forth at
rate that would do credit to passen-
ger train. The brake on the other
car was frightened and the brakeman
and conductor jumped, something
the engineer and fireman were unable
to do When curve near the old
pottery was struck the engine jumped
the track with the above mentioned re-
suits. The tender and cars stayed on
the track and struck the engine knock
ing it across the track. Engineer
Joseph Linthicum succeeded in getting
from under the wreck without serious
injury although he was greatly bruis-
ed and scalded. Fireman John Brooks
was assisted from his perilous position
by the conductor and brakeman after
sometime had elapsed. He was in
jured more than the engineer and II
was first thought that he would die
but both are now thought to be out of
danger. Large numbers of people
went to the scene and expressed sur
prise that the engineer and fireman
escaped with their lives. The riggers
went to work and cleared up the
wreck which had suspended opera
tons at the quarry.

THE SECRET.
How Doctors Protect Themselves
From Contagious Diseases.

Doctors rarely catch contagious
diseases. Almost everybody knows
this, but few know how they escape.
Many believe that the doctor has
some charm or antiseptic which pro-
tects him Dr. Hartman lately made
the truth of this matter public, that
all might realize its benefit.
Contagious diseases are conveyed
by minute organisms known as dis
ease germs. These germs find their
entrance into the system through the
mucous membrane. If the mucous
membrane is healthy, they cannot get
into the system. If the mucous
membrane is affected by catarrh the
germs find easy access. Catarrhal
secretions furnish exactly the mater
ial upon which they thrive and null
tiply. To get rid of the catarrh, and
thus preserve the mucous membrane
healthy. is the only way to be safe
from contagious diseases, This ex-
plains why it is that some people
catch diseases easier than others.
Everyone is exposed just the same.
Not everyone, however, falls a victim
to contagious diseases. A disease
germ cannot enter the system through
a perfectly healthy mucous men,
brane. Doctors know this, and there
fore guard against it. This is all the
secret there is about it.
The best cure or preventive known
to the medical profession up to date
for catarrh in all its conditions is Pc
ru-na. During the uncertain weather
of spring-time it is an unnecessary
hazard for anyone to neglect to guard
himself from taking disease, by taking
Pe-ru-na.

The room presided over by Miss
Wilson, while not so full is in splen-

her. All concede that there is no bet

The second room has become some

not been that good order which has
marked the other rooms.
No. i, Prof. S. Johns Williamson,

pupils are now as far advanced as the
