Miss Goodwin in GaIesburg. Ill.,


Miss Mabel Goodwin, formerly of this
town, has been engaged as teacher of
vocal Music in the Knox Conservatory
of music at Galesburg, Ill. OF her ap-
pearance at recent recital the Gales
burg Daily Republican-Register speaks
as follows: Miss Goodwin is decidedly
pretty, her features being regular, her
complexion fair and her head well and
gracefully poised. She was dressed in
light and pretty pink brocaded silk, trim
med in pink velvet and this gave an ad-
ditional charm to her beauty. Miss
Goodwin appeared in these songs:
Burst, ye Apple Buds" (Emery)
"Spring Song, "(Mackenzie), and "May
Morning." (Denza). The first song
requires a vivacious style and quick
method and brilliant work throughout,
demands that the vocalist fully met.
Her voice is rich and full in quality, rang
ing from contralto to pure soprano.
1t is true, with sweet tones. Her singing
is also marked by proper degree of
feeling. The naturalness of her manner
and the spirit, animation, zest and sim
cerity with which she sings add much
to the effect. Her voice is epecially
happy in the upper register the tones
being clear and fine in quality. Miss
Goodwin has an expressive face and
impresses one as being in complete
sympathy with every note to which she
gives utterance. She enjoys singing
and this makes listener enjoy it so
much the more. Miss Goodwin left "a
very favorable impression OF her talent
and versatility as singer. Knox con-
servatory is to be congratulated on hav.
ing secured her services.

AT the meeting of the Brotherhood o.
Locomotive Fireinen and Railroad
Trainmen held Tuesday evening the
members and their families listened to an
interesting address from Charles Wilson,
second vice grand master oflocomotive
fremen. Mr.. Wilson earnestly urged all
railroad men to be members of some one
of the 'brotherhoods and OF the reasons
for so doing spoke chiefly of the insur
ance. The career of a railroad man was
illustrated with the magic lantern and
pictures of the leaders of the order were
also shown. He spoke of the selfsacri.
fee of the railroad men and their fami.
lies. They do more for their associates,
the speaker said, than any other class oil
laborers in the country.

places an average Of six feet. road
was put through there to Portland street,
which does away with the danger OF the
railroad crossings that one meets with
in travelling the old road to Summerville.
The place has been changed from an un-
wholesome to a wholesome one, and
has through it an extensively Travelled
thoroughfare.
Two years ago the hrst building was
erected on the land by the firm of E. T.
& Fl. K. Ide. The building is one of the
largest and best equipped grain elevators
in this section, 50xSO, four stories, first
story 16 feet high, next two II and the
last one 10. The building is most thor
ougbly constructed throughout, the
architect being G. W. Lane of Exeter,
N. H. The foundation to this building
was started by thoroughly pudding into
the ground number of large fiat stones.
Mr.. Ide was told that he could not erect
a building on this land that wouldn't
settle, but this one hasn't yet showed a
sign OF moving as much as bair. The
foundation was constructed for the i'm
mense weight it has to bear and it is
there for all time without any settling.
The entire building is used by this firm in
their business OF wholesaling all kinds of
grain, -four, salt, lime and cement. A
part of one floor is devoted to the trans
lerring of agricultural implements, a
business they conduct with one company.
The building is wired throughout for
electric lights. A Morse elevator run by
a 6ve-horse power electric dynamo, has
just been put in by the ST. Johnsbury
Electric company. This elevator is prob
ably the largest in this section, having
carrying power of ton, and transfer
ring barrels, bags, etc, from the bottom
to the top floor easily and quickly. 1t
has all the latest applications for safety
and it is veritably impossible tor an acci-
dent to happen. A number of shoots
are constructed throughout the building
tor convenience in unloading grain. etc.,
from the cars and also TOR re-loading it
into wagons. A wagon backs up to the
door and shoot drops the bag Of grain
right into it. Everything is arranged
for doing the work quickly and with the
greatest convenience possible. part of
the building not yet finished is reserved
for several grain bins with capacity of
10000 bushels each. A corner about 20
feet square on the first floor is set apart
for an Office provided the firm ever wants
to do their office work there. An
average of car day is unloaded at
this elevator.
Two other buildings have been erected
on this land-the large blacksmith shop
and the one used by Allen Dexter in his
business of plastering, roofing, etc. One
or two other wholesale buildings are
liable to be erected there before long and
the coal sheds of E. T. & H. K. Ide will
soon be located there.

Notwithstanding the loss of 55 polls
and the shrinkage in personal property
OF 1000, there was enough of an in

more than offset this loss. The grand

SHADES AND GRADES.
Mrs. Bradbury is repentant

Mrs. Bradbury is repentant A
week ago she was seeing the world
through telescope held for her by
a Mr.. Ward, and everything seemed
large, attractive, beautiful. Today
she has put her optics to the big end
of the glass and the view is different.
She thinks now she was hypnotized.
Possibly she was. So was Psyche to
her undoing; so Cleopatra; so Cres-
sid; so 10; so Phryne; SO the lnnum-
cradle throng of lesser beauties who
have tuned their waxen ears to vi
brate responsive to the voices of the
fatterers.
Paradise was lost because Eve was
not deaf; Troy fell because Helen
turned not her head away from Paris {;
Egypt put the snake to her arm after
first letting Its venom strike her
brain; "Good Queen Bess'' had her
Raleigh; Anna of Austria her Buck
ingham; Mary of Scotland lost both
heart and head on Rizzio's account.
But why prolong the list? Elizabeth
may be hypnotized; Peggy is simply
betrayed; Mrs. Bradbury, with hus-
band worth million dollars, is Sven
CALLED; Mrs. Somebodyelse, whose
husband hasn't $500, makes a fool of
herself. There are grades and shades
of evil that in these modern days
needs, demands the services CT an
expert in nomenclature. The pecca-
dello of the mistress is the crime of
the maid; the lnebrietY of the mas
ter the rlain drunk of the servant;
the hllarity of the young blood with
coin, the vice of the other young
fellow without it.
What is hypnotlsm? The deaden-
ing of some of the faculties, the &C.
centuating of others. That was what
happened to Mrs. Bradbury, but 1t
Is what happened hundred thous-
and times since Paradise, will hap
pen again and yet again and again,
as the world exists. So it matters
not much whether it is called hypnot-
ism or some other term.

Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
to the nerve centres in the stomach,
gently stimulates the Liver and Kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing off
impurities in the blood. Electric Bit
ters improves the appetite, aids diges-
ton and is pronounced by those who
have tried it as the very beet blood puri-
fer and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for
SOC or $l.00 per bottle at Blakeley &

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-

famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in

Tuesday evening at Portland Gov
ernor Lord made the presentation
speech, and with wave of the hand
designating the punch bowl and other
vessels that comprised the silver SER
vice for the battleship Oregon, he
got rid of the white elephant in a
graceful and happy manner. His
speech will not go echoing through
the halls of time as a model for fu
ture ages to emulate, but as long as
he succeeded in getting rid of the
silver set, nobody is going 10 criti-
else too harshly his speech. Where
the dickens he resurrected all the
platitudes is of course a profound
mystery. Gazing at his classic coun-
tenance one could hardly believe that
he had found them by himself, but
he may have done so. The rivers
ramifylng the state, the harbors filed
with ships and things, caught the
good governors fancy, and the pretty
words that expressed nothing trickled
over his under lip like maple syrup
out of hot can. Oregon feels just
ly proud of her governor. She rec
Ognizes his peculiar fitness for almost
anything, and if any of our neigh
boring states have anything they de-
sire to have given away, cheerfully
