Love; the third, or scarlet degree,
being the degree of Truth. The en-
campment of patriarchal oddfellow-
ship also has three degrees-the first
teaches hospitality to the stranger;
the second teaches tolerance and
improves the Golden Rule; third is
called the Royal Purple degree, a
consummation of the motto of the en-
campment-Faith, Hope and Charity.
The PatriarchS Militant. as the name
implies, are oddfellowS who have
attained all the degrees just mentioned
and have become chevalierS, wear a
beautiful uniform of black, purple and
gold, and act as escort whenever
occasion presents itself. The degree
Of Rebekah is confined to women
whose fathers or brothers are odd
fellows, and members of the scarlet
degree. The functions of the Rebekahs
is the noble mission of watching by
the bedside of the sick, cheer the sick
room by their presence, and go where
the work of men would fall short.

escape such consequences. A dose of

at once. Your stomach is simply too
weak to digest what you eat. That's all
indigestion is. Kodol digests the food
without the stomach's aid. Thus the
stomach rests while the body is strength

THE election of school trustee was

THE election of school trustee was
held last Monday, and the lack Of
interest by the general public went
SO far that the janitor of the school
had to rustic about town to scare
up enough qualified citizens to go
down to the school house and con-
sent to become the essential Off
Gals for carrying out the regula-
tons, One may judge of the en-
thusiasm which possessed the PEG
pie of this school district by the
vote. 1t was a hummer, sure
enough-48. We challenge any
other community in the confines of
this magnificent commonwealth to
equal this record in the way of
downright neglect of duty and in
dolent indifference to one of the
most important and far-reacbiDg
public functions imposed upon an
organized school district.

Mr.. f. M.Wolfe is busy these days
with the work Of putting in shape
for the market his 10-acre addition
to Mountain Home, and the vast
amount Of labor expended in clear
ing and leveling the ground to fit it
for convenient irrigation appears to
have been wise investment, for it
has made of the formerly unsightly
tract one of the most beautiful and
desirable residential quarters of thic
city. A good portion of the addi-
ton has already been sown to blue
grass and the remainder will be
seeded with as little delay as pos
sib!e. This new plated ground is
located just east of the home of Al
Loveridge, close in and just little
walk from any part of town. Lots
are 25x120 and already about a
dozen have been contracted for.

Judge Nicholson, who went to
Rocky Bar. Bascomb and Pine last
week, returned Saturday night.
The Judge reports everything as
prosperous-looking in the upper
country, and the recent sale of the
old Elmore to the eastern capitalists
he believes is the first step looking
to the regeneration of Rocky Bar
and bringing the famous old camp
into the prominence which was hers
formerly. At Pine the judge de-
clared everything looked good,
the Franklin's regular cleanup
being something astonishing and
the rock on hand keeps the To-
stamp mill working its full capa-
city, not to mention that in sight,
which is sufficient to supply many
more stamps. Pine looks better to
him than any place visited.

Some Sound Argument.

1t is fine art to produce piauo
that possesses all the desirable quail
tiles and none of the poor ones. 1t
involves the assembling of the right
woods, metals, felts and feathers,
and the proper seasoning, shaping
and proportioning of them, the ex-
act regulation of the thicknesses of
the sounding board to give it the
proper resonance, the right temper
ing and winding of the steel strings
to give them the finest tone, the nj
cest adjustment of the action, and
we might truthfully say. millions
of other matters of minute detail.
Now, if the sound of piano pos
sesses all the desirable qualities, it
follows of course that it has been
properly constructed. Such a piano
is a gem. 1t will be as much salts,
faction to you 20 years hence as it
is now.
Come in and let us explain to
you the construction of our instru-
ments, and their sound qualities.
Ours are the very finest made, and
include such perfectly c0pstructed
pianos as the Weber ofNgw York,
the Chickering of Bostopf and the
Kimball of Chicago. Pianos whose
sound qualities afydsot equalled the

THOMAS ED1soN's NEW MIRACLE

Mr.: Edison is not man given to
making startling promises which do
not result in performance, so that his
claim of having at. last solved the
problem Of generating electricity at
trifling cost for common use may be
accepted as the announcement of an
accomplished fact. And such a, fact
is little less than a miracle. for it
means the production, at will, of an
almost linnitless and widely. adaptable
power. The electrical generator
which Mr.. Edison has perfected after
years, of toll derives its power from
a. Gsall !e fuel of nlarveilous potency.
