the city last night in ohe opening Of the
Schlitz roof garden. For many weeks past

OF the largo panels in the ceiling clcctroliers
have been placed which spring from a globe

blue and red and produce a rich effect
The arrangements for serving the patrons
of the place have also been much improved
Tho old circular counter which formerly oc-
cuped so much room has disappeared and
given place to tables Lad chairs. The bar
for the handling of liquid refreshments has
been placed in the northwest corner and the
other appointments placed along the north
wall

session Of the Gate City hive No. 9 some of
the members planned very pleasant sur
prise for the lady commander, Mrs. James w.
Bouk. Shortly after the opening cere-
monies Mrs. Amy Hopkins presented her with
a handsome bouquet of cut flowers, supple
mented with a we'll worded address, in which
tho objects of the order were vividy brought
before the members. They were reminded Of
one of the prime teachings, wherein all

to each other while mingled here together
before the angel orator pronounces a betting
eulogy over all that remains of their mortal
bodies when the spirit has taken its flight"
Mrs. Bouk responded to the address In a few
remarks assuring the members OF her appre-

GENTLEMEN when wrote you
the latter part of December, my
mother was, according to the honest
belief of three physicians, on her
deathbed; she could not retain either
food or pisdicine on her stomach, and
IL did not seem reasonable to think
there was anything but death to re-
lieve her. The doctors informed us
she had cancer in The lower bowel
and there was no cure for her. She
showed such vitality for q person to
be 80 near death we thought there
must be something to help her, and
reading Of others being saved by the
use of your s. 3. G., we thought it
would do no harm, II not some good,
to try it, 80 we informed her OF her
condition, just as the doctors had in
formed US, and left 1t with her to try
your remedy or not, as she saw fit.
She concluded to try it and from the
first dose or two, she began to brighten
up, and improve; she can now get up,
dress and help herself, and can eat
everything or anything she wants and
no distress from IL. We all feel quite
hopeful that the cancer will pass away
in due time by the use of your 8. s. g.,
which she will now gladly take. You
may make this letter as public ms you
choose, and the more 80 the better, as
too much praise can not be given your
valuable remedy.
Yours truly,
