shown here seems an ideal one of its
kind as to completeness, besides pos
sessing a decidedly convenient and
novel feature in it's -four sitter. Pos
sibly this -four bin is the best feature
of the cabinet, and it is claimed for
1t that it effectually prevents the flour
from becoming musty, as it is apt to
do when the -four is constantly being
dipped from the top and the bottom
allowed to remain. In this one no old
-four is allowed to accumulate, as it
is put into the bin at the top, passes
through the bin and comes out nicely
sifted at the bottom.
The sitter Is made in a small drawer
and slides into the bin and can easily
be removed. The -four can be sifted
on to the back part Of the molding
board directly underneath or into a
pan or bowl.
Besides this admirable feature this
cabinet has three large drawers, a cup
board for cooking utensils, 20-pound
fitting sugar bin, with close-ftting lid
and three drawers, the uppermost one
of which is divided by partitions into
six parts for spices. What more could
the heart Of woman desire?-Chicago

The man on the stage who does the
trick of escaping from firmly tied ropes,
submits to the bonds with a smile. He
knows he can get out of the ropes that
are being knotted. Put the same man in
the woods and let Indian captors bind
him to tree for torture and he would
struggle to the last against the bonds.
When the stomach is diseased there
are bonds being woven every hour about
the organs dependent on the stomach
heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc. The
folly of mankind is to passively submit
to the fastening of these bonds with no
effort to escape until the pain they cause
arouses fear.

organs of digestion and nutrition. It
cures diseases Of heart, liver, lungs. kid

The ELKS' HOME.
The Work of Improvement Being
Pushed TO Completion.

Work upon the new home of the
Oskaloosa Elks is moving along very
nicely under the direction of the con-
tractor, w. B. Hadley, and when the
work has been completed the lodge
will have as neat and as cosy home
as is to be found anywhere in the
state.
The entrance to the rooms will be
by an exterior stairway leading to the
second floor and into spacious re-
ception hall in the northwest corner
of the building. Then in this depart
ment of the home are located the par
Tors, library and reading room where
will be found all of the papers and
current periodicals of the day. A
culinary department will furnish
meals to those desiring them and this
department will be presided over by
a steward engaged specially for the
purpose
The lodge hall proper is in the south
half of the second floor. The room
will be about square in dimensions,
being as long as the width of the
church. The ceiling is twenty-three
feet. A balcony at the north end will
provide extra accommodation for
over-crowded sessions.
The north half of the building will
have third story and the third floor
will be devoted to the billiard room
of the home. The front of the build
ing will be changed in some respects
to conform to the three floors on the
interior.

MUSICAL CHIMES.
Almoudbury Hand-Bell Ringers
at Central M. E. Church.

The Almondbury Hand Bell Ring
ers of England are making their. first
tour Of this country. They are the
champions of Great Britain, having
won the first prize three years in sue
cession over all competitors. These
contests have been held annually at
Manchester from 1856, and since the
Almondburys entered in 1884 they
have won nine first and eight second
prizes, and have established them
selves as the greatest company OF
bell ringers ever organized. They
have picked six of their best men to
represent them on their American
tour, and will undoubtedly give our
patrons the finest exhibition of scien-
tifc bell-ringing ever heard in this
country.
The Almondbury Ringers have won
the first prize medal for three sue
cessive years in the English Tune
Ringing contest, which is the finest
in the world.
This stamps them conclusively as
the best band of ringers ever brought
together, and as the representative
English band to visit America.
To assist in the program they have
engaged Miss Eva Bartlett Macy,
one of the most versatile and accom-
plished entertainers who has ever
appeared on the platform.
Miss Macy is graduate of the
Emerson College of Oratory, of Bos
ton.
President Emerson says: miss
Macy Is careful student OF the
author she presents from the reading
platform to others, dealing in no
tricks, but easily holding the atten-
ton of her audience by keeping them
interested in her point of thought.
Her manner is bright and vivacious.
Those who hear her once will desire
to hear her again.
A third feature of the novel enter
tainment are the limpersonations of
Mr.. Walter David, the well known
impersonator and humorist.
This combination is of unusual
strength and especially strong in pop
ular features, offering program of
real musical value fand of varied,
novel and refined character.
The company will appear at Gem
trail M. E. church in this city Friday
evening, Feb ,2S. The proceeds to
go to the o. H. S. senior class me-

COURT HOUSE DISEASE.
A Peculiar Addiction Seized Auditor
Martin and Proves Contagious

A few days ago. County Auditor
Martin was seized with a peculiar
ailment. Nothing was thought of the
affair at the time. A physician was
not even called in to diagnose or treat
the case. But the infection, for such
1t has proved to be, has spread to
almost all the inmates of the court
house. Certainly there have been
many exposures and it is difficult to
say where the end may be. The first
of the trouble was seen in Mr.. Martin
when he made great changes and i'm
provements in the! arrangement of
the furniture of his office. Ratings
were moved out to give additional
room and convenience to the office
working force. A convenience was
added here and there until the Office
was scarcely able to recognize it's
self. Next the Improvement malady
seized County Recorder Larry
McCord and he has bad case of it.
He has moved his business counter
out onto the lobby of the main office
to give more working room behind
the desk. The arrangement of the
desks hasibeen altered. The record
racks in the vault room are being
torn to pieces to be rebuilt, for more
room is demanded for the records.
Nineteen new books were added to
the records of the county during the
year 1sO1sand fully that number will
he put in this year. The book rae Q
have to be rebuilt to accommodate al
of these new records for there are
few of the big books that can be laid
aside. Most every book is in almost
constant use. Carpenters are now
engaged in making the needed
changes.
But the worst case of the disease is
in the Office of County Clerk R. K.
Davis and it is feared that Deputy
Fred McVey is also coming down
with it. Mr.. Davis has figured out a
plan for changing the door that enters
the record vault his office go that
it will be within his Office railing in
place of outside as at present. This
will give the Office occupants bet
ter chance to know absolutely who
enters this room and what is being
done therein. G The door is to be
moved from the south to the north
end of the room. The desk railir G
will be altered to give greater privacy
to the clerks business desk and thu
of his deputy. The change has be n
needed for some little time and will
be much appreciated by. all patrors
of the Office when completed.
No signs Of the trouble are yet no.
ticeable in any other of the offices
but it may break out any day. The
cases thus far will cost the county
several dollars.

Barnes City Case

The case of Sarah j. Sarvis, appel
ant, vs.. j. A. Caster ct al. Mahaska
district; John T. Scott, judge has
been modified and affirmed by the
Supreme court. The opinion is by
Chief Justice Laid. Sarah j. Sarvis
tried to throw certain streets and
allies in Barnes City back into farm
land. j. A. Caster and others OBJ
jected as this would cut them off from
their property which was located on
the opposite side of the streets. Boil
ton and Mccoy were the attorneys in
the case but they do not know what
modification was made in the deci-
sion.

The first floor of the building will

Home company is deriving consider
able revenue therefrom.

a manner that will make it at once

LAMP EXPLODED.
Causing Small Fire and Work for the
department

The explosion of lamp this morn
ing at the Baptist parsonage on
south third street caused an alarm
OF fire to be sent in. The fire COM
pany made a quick response and
managed the fire very cleverly. No
water was thrown and fifty dollars
will cover the damage done. The
burning oil of the exploded lamp was
thrown over sofa and some books.
The burning goods were carried from
the house and the are was not COM
municated to other rooms. Luke Dun
shee occupied the part of the house
where the fire occurred. The lamp
was being used to heat a curling iron.

DRESSING THE TREE.
How 1t May Be Done to Secure the
Best Effects.

The Woman's Home Companion
gives some hints on decorating q
Christmas tree safely. 1t is we'll
known that when tapers are fixed
to the laden branches, after the
gifts are taken off the ightened
boughs spring up and often set each
ether on fire. The mode indicated
here avoids all that.
"First," says the Companion, thin
cut the branches sufficiently to al
= low the gifts to show to good ad-
vantage. Then with an auger bore
holes in a spiral row about four
: or five inches apart the whole length
of the trunk. Have some fiat sticks
prepared, an inch wide and half an
inch thick, and of varying lengths.
Sharpen one end, and insert them
according to their graduated lengths,
giving each blow or two with a
hammer TO insure it's being firmly
fixed. Paint them green. At tho

Enlarging the Chimney.

The chimney to the Whittier school
building which did not produce a suifi-
Gent draft to run the heating plant in
proper shape is being enlarged. Mr..
who represents the Pond &
Hasey Co. of Minneapolis who put in
the plant, says that the chimney meas
ured llxl4 inches at the top and he
it was of the same measure
ment the entire length, but it seems
that near the base of the chimney there
was jog made by the carpenters when
the building was put up and this
blocked the draft. To overcome the
trouble Mr.. Haight will have the en-
tire chimney made 14x24 inches, thus
insuring plenty of draft in. the future:

high school pupils, but as they have
never had any practice in this line
there will be little chance for a contest
just at present.
Last Thursday the children in Miss
Batzer's room gave her very happy
surprise at noon hour They all
brought their dinner and when noon
time came they proceeded to open up
fine spread of all kinds of tempting
things to eat and invited their teacher
to remain and have dinner with them
which she very gladly did, and spent a
very pleasant noon hour with her
pupils.
