Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civ
ilized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors we're scarce, and they
seldom heard of appendicitis, nervous
prostration OF heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of UNI
digested food, regulate the action of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action of the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull and
bad with headaches and other aches.
You only need few doses of Green's
August Flower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious
the matter with you. Get Green's

En- Mask Party.

Last evening from half past five un.
til six o'clock our streets presented q
most wierd appearance, snow and
sleet we're falling, the 81 iewalks were
like glass but in every direction were
seen figures gliding with noiseless
tread and most rigid demean0r. To
the interested spectator it looked as if
all the graveyerds between here and
Chicago had yielded up their dead and
the embodied spirits we're going to
hold high carnival in Missouri Valley.
AS three of these ghostly silent figures
arrived at the corner of Eighth and
Erie streets, q half dozen little urchins
who we're coasting down the sidewalk,
noticed their approach They gave
one glance and then with howl OF
terror fled in a manner that would
have put Tam O'Shanter in the shade.
The home of Mrs. r. &. Hills seemed
the place of rendezvous. ard az each
reached the door 1t opened silently
upon its hinges. Without q guiding
hand the figures glided upstairs to the
mirrors to give last touch to their
ghostly array. Silently each seated
herself and began to take in the meas
ure of her neighbors. All the while
strains of music proceeded from the
piano, sometimes called forth ty ghost
oly fingers. When the ghosts grew
tired Misses Vera Foss and Opal Good.
man presided and played sweetly
enough to entertain even such as
might have been accustomed to celest-
ial music. Beside the music not q
sound was heard for one hour and q
half, then every figure took on an ex-
ceedingly animated appearance, famil-
lar voices were heard and the grave.
like clothing were neatly folded away
and about seventy-five of our town
ladies appeared looking as natural as
life and arrayed in their most becom-
ing and stylish gowns. Then how
each lady tried to make up for the
self-imposed silence of that hour and
half. Every tongue did double duty
until 10 o'clock. The house was beau
tiful in its decorations of carnations
and palms. The library devoted to
the frappe table was very elaborate in
its decorations. The table, q mass of
cut glass. was in the center of the
room. From circlet surrOundinR the
chandelier were suspended four ropes
of orange col0red flowers which reached
the corners of the table. Mesdames
Foss and R. H. Harris presided with
much grace
Buffet refreshments were served in
the dining room, the hostess being as
sisted by Mesdames Lshman, Jas.
Rock we'll. Misses Goodman and FOss.
Mrs. Schulmeister who succeeded in
recoRn,zing the greatest number of the
ladies while en- mask, was awarded q
verv pretty sugar bowl and creamer,
IL the ladies we're quiet on their ar
rival thew certainly were not on their
homeward way and everyone was de.
'ithted withsthe entertainment Of the
evening.

boys started for the ante room for
their wraps when it was discovered
that the rooms were inhabited,
and in came the wives, mothers,
sisters and sweethearts of the
members. CONSERVATION was de-
picted upon every face, and it is
said that Frank Hall actually
shed tears. Ali fears we're soon
removed and then it was ascer-
tanned that while we of the
sterner sex were sitting in solemn
conclave, the fair sisters were
fitting like butterflies through
the ante rooms, preparing one of
the finest suppers ever rendered
to q body of hungry and apprecia-

UNANSWERED PRAYER

UNANSWERED PRAYER.
Earnest Plea Of Those Who
Respect God.
Text, Rev. 6:l5-l6. The book
of Revelation is in many respects
the most wonderful of all the
looks of the New Testament. AL
ways inspiring and mysterious, it
portrays future events with GER
tainty. The text presents an in
teresting event, that of greata and
final prayer meeting. Tits not an
uncommon thing for persons who
are not christians to attend prayer
meeting; in this respect their in
fiuence is much more helpful than
some church members. l say
church members because they are
not christians, they are simply
"joiners. These "joiners' aud
the Devil are agreed on great
many subjects. For example they
see no necessity for revival, they
don't see any use giving up G good
social hour in order to attend q
dry and uninteresting prayer meet
ing; they don't believe in this en-
thusiasm and excitement. They
and the Devil hold exactly the
same views and, no doubt, have a
very close affinity for each other.
We'll, strange as itmay seem, these
mere professors, hypocrites and
unbelievers will hold a prayer
meeting. They believe in it now.
They in this particular are like
their mutual. friend the rich man,
who wanted to turn missionary
when it was too late.
What q company-verse Is. /
have an idea that some of those
kings and great persouages would
have scorned to associate with
some of these bondmen in chris
tien fellowship, but now they are
not unite so fastidions. For my
part j have always thought that a
king was entitled TO as good COM
pany as peasant, provided he was
worthy of it.
The dollar mark, nor the scolor
line,. make any difference now,
only prayer, earnest pryor. Even
the places Of holding it doesn't
make any difference. They who
had spurned Gods house are sat-
is1ied with dens and caves now.
He who refuses the Fathers house
will reach the swine yard sooner
or later.
Well, these delicate little souls,
who couldn't stand to have their
nerves shocked by the shout of
new born babe in Christ, or the
lusty amen of some enthusiastic
brother, are in prayer meeting.
Listen, it can't be possible that
those sensitive little creatures are
praying like that. What are they
saying? go rock, o mountains
fall upon us and hide MS from the
face of Him that stitch upon the
throne and from the wrath of the
Lamb Crying agonizing, plead
ing, they have changed their views
on the subjectof "revivals." They
are no doubt wishing like many
Others, who have walked up too late
that they had rot neglected SO
long. The prayer is not one for
mercy it is one for humiliation.
They don't want to face the Christ
whom they have rejected. But
they must come to judgment, no
evading. 0 what an hour for an
unsayed soul. DO you want to
come to death unprepesed? Do
you want to attend this final serv-
ice of the lost? Ii not come to
| Christ while He offers mercy

RUMMAGE SALE A DECIGED SUCCESS.
Methodist Sunday School Clear $4,000 For
the Benefit Of the Piano Fund.

The "Rummage Sale" which has
been held in the room under the Odd
Fellows Hall the past two weeks,
ended Saturday night with an auction
sale. There has never been anything
worked by our church people that has
been better for raising money. The
"Rummage Sale" has met the most
sanguine expectations.
The committee received from the
two weeks sale $232.47 and increased
it from the proceeds of the supper
($1O5.5n) Thursday night, to $335. 81.
Out of this they cleared $3O3. 96, which
will goto the Piano Fund. There was
already in the treasury about $50. 90
which makes the fund now reach
$3O3.69. The management are surely
congratulated for their splendid eff
forts.
