Monday morning the chief clerk am
|nounccd that these fifteen would be
admitted first II they were there, and
most Of them were there.
The big rush came from the Coowee-

IOil men from almost every state in

Eager to file their citizens, from whom
they had made arrangements to take
leases. Why there is such a scramble

death LOVES A
SHINING MARK
Leon Stanton, an Unusually
Bright and Lovable Boy,
Dies Suddenly.

| Our city was greatly shocked on
Monday when news was received Of
the death of Leon Stanton, second
son of Prof. and Mrs. Geo. A. Stanton.
A telegram announcing the fact and
stating that the body would arrive
here today, was received by friends.
The cause of death, while not
definitely known, is said to have been
diabetes
A letter had been received from
Mrs. Stanton only two days previous
to the telegram saying they were we'll
pleased with their new home and that
, all were in excellent health, and it
was almost impossible for the friends
here to believe the sad news.
1t is indeed a hard blow to Mr.. and
Stanton, made harder because it came
to them so soon after their arrival in
their new home at Lewiston, Idaho,
and among entire strangers.
The afflicted father with the body of
his little son, will arrive this after
noon over the Northern Pacific. They
will be met at the depot by the School
Board and other friends, going i'm
mediately to the Congregational
church where the funeral services will
be held, conducted by Rev. Mr..
Oehler.
The interment will be at Greenwood
cemetery by the side of Walter, the
oldest son who died few years ago
from injuries received while playing
on the turn-table of the Great Northern
tracks.
The heartfelt sympathy of the whole
city goes out to the family.

An incident which illustrates the alb

ecdotes about Leschetizky in the
Century Magazine. Before the days
Of his great musical success Leschetiz-

Stitute for young women at Smolna.
Some of the pupils had complained of
the food, and the complaint had
reached the emperor. He ordered the
Duke of Odinburg. president of Smolna,
TO look into the matter
The duke was tall, thin, quick man.
Of sour disposition and blinking sharp
eyes; his nose was in everybody's busi-
hess. He started for Smolna as soon
as he received the Emperor's order, and
arrived at dinner time -
He stationed himself not far from
the kitchen. and awaited the passage
of the soldiers on duty in the dining
room-al Russian public institutions
are under military regimen. Presently
two soldiers went by, carrying soup
tureen.
''Set that down on the floor and fetch
me a spOon!" thundered the duke.
The soldiers looked up in surprise,
but too well disciplined to reply, obeyed.
The duke, wearing a severely critical
expression, dipped the spoon ir the
murky liquid. No sooner had he
touched it TO his lips than he angrily
rejected it. shrieking ITS dish-waterr"
'As your highnsss says" answered
the soldiers.
So it was-dish-wate in cast-ofr

Nine out Of ten ailments first show
themselves in constipation. Natures
warning, if left unheeded, means serious
chronic trouble later ON. Medical sta
tistics show that a greater number of
people suffer from constipation than from
all other diseases combined. A great
talk is made about consumption, but if
the truth were known, constipation kills
more people than consumption. Within
the lasi few years Il medicine has been
discovered and made known to the Amer
lean people, of such merit in curing con-
stipation and its consequences that now
over ten million boxes of CASCARETS

attained by any one medicine in the

that it is the best and will do all and

This list of cities, with over 10000

electric plants, gives no adequate idea
of the growth in the number of such
plants, because this growth has been
mainly confined to smaller cities and
towns. Massachusetts offers an ex-
ample of this fact, for Of the eighteen
municipal electric plants in that state,
only three. those at Taunton, Chicopee
and Holyoke, are in the cities, the other
fifteen plants being owned by towns.
The extent of municipal activity in
electric light plants throughout the en-
