SENATOR C. H. Dietrich, of Hast
ings, Neb has been indicted by the
federal grand jury for accepting a
bride in securing postoffice ap-
pointment. Dietrich, who stopped
over here some weeks since, accom-
panied by his daughter, to visit the
Grand Canyon, had just returned
from a trip through Alaska. He is
at present in Washington and it is
claimed that the charge is the re-
suit of political quarrel. Dietrich
will no doubt put up a good de-
tense. Before his election as sena-
tor he had been governor of Ne
braska.

HARRISON CoNRARD,
County School Superintendent.

There is considerable interest
manifest in the local lodge of the
Ladies of the Maccabees of the
World here at present, no doubt,
owing to the presence of Mrs. M.
G. Wright, D. S. c. This is exclu-
sively woman's order, giving life
benefits, total and permanent disa-
bility benefits. 1t is the largest fra
ternal beneficial society among wo-
men in the world and seventh in
point of membership among the
great fraternal BENEFICIARY societies
(including both men and women)
in North America. Last year there
were 294 new hives organized and
26 ,691 new members added to the
rolls, while there was paid to be-
nificiaries. during 1902, 1855, 573.33.
The wonderful growth of the order
is due to it's ability to meet death
claims in full, promptly, and to the
manner of grading and fixing it's
rates on a basis of stability to meet
future claims.

How are you going to celebrate
Thanksgiving? How will you give
thanks to kind Heavenly Father
for national and individual bless
ings?
The improvements on the church
are progressing finely. We hope
to have a more comforta BILE and
commodious place of worship by
Dec. 1st.
Our Thanksgiving is born of oul
experience like the Psalmists, when
he says: "Bless the Lord, oh my
soul, and all that is within me bless
his holy name"
Giving thanks rightly is just as
pleasing to our Heavenly Father
and just as likely to bring bless

born of necessity.

caused by the sound OF your voice being
reflected or thrown back to your ear
by building or some other object But
this object must not be too near. II
it is at great distance il must be cor

no trees or other things in the way.
A large barn standing in an open field
is an excellent maker Of echoes. and If
you walk toward It and 'holler.'' you
viii find that the echo ceases when you
come within about hundred feet
This is because the interval between
sound and its echo becomes smaller
as you approach the echoing object, so
that when you are within less than a
hundred feet the echo blends with the
original sound and pEolongs it instead
OF being heard separately. You must
have noticed this drawing out Of the
sound II you have ever spoken or
shouted in large empty hall, such as
an armory. Sound travels at the rate
of about leo feet a second. so it takes
less than nth Of a second TO go a

a second is about the smallest interval
