An Oyster supper at stake.

Idaho Springs News: On the 18th OF
January last the A. o. U. W. Of Central
City made wager with the local branch
of the same order that they would OBJ
tain more members for their lodge dur
ing the three months ending April 18th
next than the Idaho Springs branch
would-an oyster supper being the stake.
At the present writing it is all off with
the Central boys as it will be impossible
for them to catch up with the Springs
as the latter has during the past two
weeks simply taken in new members by
the score, not to speak of the many
names that will be acted upon during
the unexpired time pending the close of
the contest. Oyster suppers given at
Central have long been famous and this
together with the fact that the A. o. U.
W. order of the same place is composed
OF jovial aud social element that makes
the Springs boys more than anxious to
enjoy the repast. So prepare the feast
Central and tackle us again on some
other propositions.
We will have to add few lines to the
above clipping from the News. The A.
o. U. w. lodge of this city are not so
boastful, nor do they give others cause
to be, but are lying low and no doubt
the result will be great surprise to the
Springs lodge. 1t is a forgone conclusion
with the Central ludpe ns tn tho rasuIt
Without a doubt Central is famous for
its oyster suppers and iovial good times,
but alas, we are afraid the Springs will
have to be taught few lessons in that
line, especially, 50 far as TIE oyster sup
per is concerned.

LOCALIZED LOTTERIES.
In France even government bonds are
taxed. but nearly every issue has lot
terry attachment. City and municipal
bonds bear low rates OF interest. but
there are always a number of prizes
connected with them and the lottery
element is as great an attraction as
the investment Itself. The Paris ex-
position bonds were issued in this way,
as were also those OF the exposition Of
1889. Lotteries are instituted for all
sorts OF purposes and are Fea<rf Ky
patronized. They are operaGS fairly,
and the prizes sometimes go to the

HOPEFUL VIEW

The hopeful view consumptives
take of their own cases is strongly in
their favor. Each year is showing
a larger percentage Of cures.
One of the best reasons for good
hope is the record of SCOTS E.nul-
sion as medicine for consumptives.
So long as the system is strong
enough to use medicine of any kind
it can use SCOTS Emulsion.
The reason for its helpfrlIness in
this disease is because of its long
tolerance by the patient; one does
not tire Of it as quickly as other med
icines and that is where the great
benefit comes.
