 Notes and Gossip.
 Let every lodge appoint from among it's active members a committee of one to personally call on five other mem bers who do not attend lodge or pay up promptly Let him ascertain from these brothers the reason for their ab- sence and endeavor to get promise from them to attend the next meeting and express their opinion as to what should be done to make the lodge at tractive. Then have the committee re- port the results of their visits, and this in itself will furnish an interesting subject for discussion and may lead to the creation of ideas that will increase the attendance of the members.

How to Hold a Mock TriaI-Pythian
 Notes and Gossip.
 Did you ever try "the mock triar' for an evenings amusement? Here is one that will yield to the treasury good money. Let some member in the lodge sue another member on an imaginary charge, the lodge to give notice of trial on a certain night. Arrange the hall as a court of justice, select your twelve wig, also the lawyers; see that your prisoner is properly "caged," then pro- ceed with the trial The judge must be quick at imposing fines on those around him who laugh, joke, etc. When wit nesses have testified and the jury has heard the charges they retire, bringing in verdict of not guilty and recom- mending tn prisoner be fined for not being guilty, the attorneys to be fined for arguing the case and the judge for hearing it. Then the judge gets even by f1ning the jury for good service and the entire audience for good behavior Make the fines from 1 cent to 10 cents each.

Collision at Umbarger.

Thursday night of last week, at
Umbarger, there was a head-end
collision of two freights in which
some ninety head of COWS were
killed and crippled, three stock cars
almost demolished and three en-
gines damaged. One Of the trains
was an empty going West; the
other was a double header, going
North with cattle. The crews had
notice to meet and pass at I'm
barger, where the empty" was to
siieuack. This, it is claimed the
"empty" was about to do when
the stock train ran into it. At the
time Of the crash all brakes were
"hard on" the "empty' and the
lead engine of the Northbound
train rose up on the engine OF the
Westbound like a dog trying to kiss
his master-the first named
train remaining almost stationary
The stock loss is attributed to the
buckling Of the three cars next the
engine.
The crews jumped and thus es-
capped injury.
Under the above circumstances,
had the engineer Of the northbound
been fully awake and alive to his
instructions he ought to have been
able to stop in time to prevent this
big loss of property, but the facts
as to instructions may be otherwise
than stated here, and if so the re-
sponsibility may be elsewhere.
