.ELKS IN NOVEMBER,
Two Noteworthy Celebra-
tons To Be Held in Rich
mond and Bedford.

The formal opening of the handsome
! new lodge room Of Richmond Lodge. No.
| As, Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks, and the dedicati ton about the same
+! time of the National Elks'' Home at Bed
ford City, will be the occa sion of the
greatest gathering of prominent mem
bers of that order ever had in Virginia.
| The dates Of the two ceremonies-one at
Bedford City and s-the other at Rich
| mond-have not yet been definitely an
nounced, if they have yet been fixed.
Both are scheduled for the early days of
November, however.
The magnificent modern building known
as the Hotel Bedford, recently purchased
as q home for aged and disabled mem
bers of the order by the national organi-
zation Of Elks, is to be occupied and dedi-
Gated with noteworthy ceremonies, and
all the grand officers Of the order will be
present. It is the purpose of the Rich
mond lodge to arrange their opening or
house-warming for a date that will enable
these prominent members of the order to
attend.
A plan and scope committee was ap-
pointed some time ago to make prelimi-
nary arrangements for the opening OF
the lodge rooms. now being completed at
considerable cost. That committee de-
cided to celebrate the occasion with a
banquet which will surpass in magnifi-
cence any ever given by the lodge. Com
mittees to arrange the details of the ban
quet invitations. and speakers will be tp-
pointed at the next meeting Of the lodge.
Until these committees have been con-
stituted and have discharged their func-
tons the list of speakers cannot be an
nounced,
It is expected that some Of the most
notable speakers in the State will be
present and make addresses. Among
those who have been informally mention
ed are Governor Montague and Senator
John w. Daniel. both OF whom are mem
hers Of the order. Distinguished Elks will
be among the number responding to
toasts.
tits probable that every lodge OF the
orderfin this and the adjoining States will
be invit to send . TO the
opening ceremonies.

LOST GUN TO SAVE LIFE;
Mr.. BAGBY'S EXPERIENCE.
Richmond RenI Estate Man Has a
Serious AIishap While Hunt
ing Sora.

What came near being a serious acci-
dent happened to Mr.. John Baghy, pop
ular real estate man of this city, while
sora hunting last Saturday.
Mr.. Bagby and DR.. E. G. McSparran
had just finished successful days shoot
ing sora in one of the marshes near the
Chickahominy river. and had left the
marsh and were in the riddle of the
river, when a puff of wind caused the
boat to rock, throwing Mr.. Bagby into
about is feet of water.
DR.. McSparran, who was near, in a
separate boat, hallowed to the Indian
who was Showing the boat to lie down
In the centre of it and catch Mr.. Bagby
when he arose
Mr.. Bagby was slow about rising from
the fact that his pockets were full of
shells and he was also trying to hold
to his SIS Parker gun. He reluctantly
released the gun. and was hauled into the
boat, none the worse from his misfortune.
His gun is now at the bottom of the
river

SLATE MAKERS BUSY,
Composition of Corporation
Commission Again Comes
to the Front.

Speculation as to the men who will be
chosen TO constitute the first Corporation
commission of the State has taken on
new life since the congressional primary.
1t IS expected that the names Of the COM
mission Will be sent to the General As
sernbly for confirmation when that body
conTenes in November.
There is good reason to believe that
me Governor has made UP his
mind whom he will recommend,
and that he would have done
so at the recent summer session had he
not been urged by friend not to do so
rnli the claims of a prominent south
west Virginia gentleman could be present.
ed The commission, which it is said the
Governor would have recommended at
that time. was Judge Archer a. Phlegar,
oi Chrsuanshurg; Hon Henry Fairfax,
OF Loudoun, and Colonel A. S. Buford,
Of this city,.
Others whose fitness has been urged by
iheir friends, with especial earnestness,
slnce that time, are Mr.. John R. Ed

OF the Governor that he is still farorabiy

At 10 o'clock they succeeded in clearing
the mine of gas so as to reach the first

of the rescuers had been overcome with
the deadly black damp and We're brought

The explosion is now known to have
been caused by the carlessness of the
fan engineer, James Lester. who willfully
disregarded instructions of his mine man

without the safety lamp which had been
provided to test the air each morning
before the men went to work.

Accidental Shooting.

Last Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock. an accidental discharge Of a revolver in the Ciudad de Mexico store, in Nogales, Sonora, resulted in the death of we'll known and popular young Spanish clerk named Felix Apezteguia.
 The pistol which did the killing was of the Mauser type, and was in the hands of Athon Reynor, d Swiss, who is the book keeper of the establishment. He was exhib- iting the weapon to some friends, and thought he had extracted all the cartridges. However, one re- mained and was exploded. The ball entered the neck of Apezteguia, cut the jugular vein and the un- fortunate young man expired al- most instantly.
 Mir. Reyner was taken into GUS tody and is now in prison awaiting the result of the investigation by the Mexican officials.
 The funeral of young Apezteguia occurred Thursday morning, and was largely attended by his many sorrowing friends in the line cities. His parents live in Spain, and his nearest relatives are cousins in the City of Mexico They have been notified of his sad and untimely death

q Fine Lecture.

The lecture on Wednesday even ing by Dr. Ryland, of El Paso, was certainly high-class, and very enter taining IS well as instructive. The topic was Sydney Lanier," the Georgia poet, with whose thought and work Dr. Ryland was well .onversant, and concerning which he spoke with great eloquence. By frequent extracts from Lanier's writings he developed the poets love of Nature; his hatred for and contempt for the spirit of conner cialism; mans revolt against opp pression; his high conception of woman, and his reverent accept ance of Christ as the ideal of man hood. When Dr. Ryland had fin- ished the audience could feel with him the beauty and power of the poets thought and language, and the sweetness of his spirit, and re- gret his early death ere the great ness of the man had fully dew eloped.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con- titutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an infamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube is infiamed you have a rumbling sound or inn perfect hearing, and when 1t 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 forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dol lars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure Send for circulars, free.
