colors of the order and the city has
taken on a holiday attire.
The lodge will start out with char
ter membership of about sixty 2
twenty-five of which will be initiated
into the mysteries of Elkdom tonight.
The exercises and installation win take
place in the Lewiston opera house
which has been handsomely decorated
for the occasion. Many of the candi-
dates for honors in the antlered re-
gions have been hopefully wishing for
the trying ordeal to have passed away
but as the hour draws near for the
final test their courage is being brought
to the fore with the thoughts that they
will soon be relieved of the terrible
strain.
Owing to the washout on the Pot
latch branch of the Northern Pacific
which delayed traffic yesterday II is
believed that many of the visiting
Elks expected from Spokane this even
ing will not reach here fearing the con-
sequences of tie-up on the railroad.
1t was reported this morning by
Agent Jordan of the Northern Pacif12
that several hundred passengers had
left Spokane among which were many
Elks. Advises from DR.. II. b. Luhn
of Spokane received last night stated
that between fifty and sixty members
of the order would leave there for this
city this morning. At this time il is
hard to estimate what number Will
arrive in the city this evening.
At a special meeting OF the Elks
held this morning at the Commercial
club rooms 1t was decided that the
parade scheduled for today should
take place at all hazards and the Elks
will form in line at some hour before
5 o'clock. The Lewiston Military
band has been engaged for the occa-
sion and will head the parade. The
parade will meet at the N. P. depot

washing them out completely. The
break was again repaired temporarily
and today the company announced that
power would be shut off this afternoon
for four hours in order that they may
put in a new set of poles and repair the
lines permanently.
AS a consequence of the power being
shut off this afternoon The Teller was
unable to use its linotype machine
during the time intervening. The Tel
Ter acknowledges the courtesy of the
Morning Tribune for the use of their
linotype during the temporary shut off
of power. The break in the light sery-
ice was repaired at 1870 o'clock this
afternoon and the current was turned
on again.
Not since 1897 has this city expert
enced such a heavy rain as is now fall
ing. Up to the present time no serious
damage has resulted but it is the i'm
preston that should the rain continue
for several days longer that serious
damage may result The Clearwater
river has raised several feet since last
night and up to the present time is still
raising Snake river backed up eight
feet since nine O'Clock last night and
fear is expressed that much damage
will be caused in the southern part of

A BIG MARRIAGE SERVICE.
American Missionary United Thirty
one Couples at Once.


The Rev. A. w. Pitzer set pretty
good pace last week when he married
three couples at see. but he is still
tweuty-eight laps behind the record,
which is held by an American mis-
sionary on the. island Of Apemana.
This strange wedding. where thirty
one couples were united at once, was
solemnized in 1882. All the principals
were converted heathens. and SO well
we're the marriage bonds tied that ten
years later not one of the couples
was divorced.
The great wedding was one OF ne
cessity. rather than choice. All the
couples had signifed their intention
TO be married with Christian rites.
Plans were made for separate we'd
dings, but missionary ship was wait
ing for the teacher who was to marry
the converts, and an approaching
storm made 1t necessary for him to
read the ceremony with great haste.
II the natives had not agreed to en-
gage In a wholesale ceremony they
would have been condemned in six
six months more OF single blessedness.
so the great party joined right hands
and assumed the solemn obligations
according to their new faith.-Wash-

HARMONY A MATTER CT TIME.
Some Facts That Plighted Lovers
Should Remember

The harmonizing of the personals
ties Of even the best mated couples is
usually a work of time. Before they
can learn readily to make those little
concessions which keep two natures
in harmony there is generally more
or less twanging of false chords, and
ii these false notes can be eliminated
before marriage so much the better.
Besides 1t is more difficult to sink
after. and the object lesson is. accord
ingly. the more valuable, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
Quarrels, il should be remembered,
are Ills which fail to the lot of most
of us. They should be treated care
fully and quickly, as one treats cut
finger. Neglected, a cut finger may
lead to serious complications, endan-
gering ones life. In the same way
little quarrels may endanger ones
life happiness.
All lovers quarrel-but some make
the foolish mistake of parting at once
without allowing time for reflection.
II two people become separated and
can still think with affection of each
other after two or three years alb
sence they are fitted to marry. 1t is
foolish and absurd to allow pride to
stand in the way.
Love renewed is better than first
love, more sincere 1t is love that is
renned by years of reflection and is
the golden output of a pure affection.
