The Departure of Another of
Earth's Noble Women.

On Tuesday morning last the
spirit of Sister w. Matthews
took its flight. In her depar-
ture, Oakley loses another of her
choicest women. One who has
been faithful, energetic, loyal and
true. A kind and loving mother,
a devoted wife, true friend and
neighbor, a sister in very deed to
all human kind. She was one
who was always ready to lend a
a helping hand. Not only ready
but was always found doing it.
Were we not so firmly grounded
in our knowledge of the love and
kindness of our Heavenly Father,
and the wisdom manifested in all
His doings, we should be almost
inclined to say that sister Mat
thews yielded up her life in loyal
service to her friends During
the sickness that has been so
prevalent of late, this kind heart
ed woman labored quite beyond
her strength and rendered herself
a prey TO the disease typhoid
pneumonia which carried her a
way.
Perhaps, however, we can
hardly say that disease carried
her away for He who gave her life,
has now given her another-a
larger and more glorous one-a fit
ting reward for the tolls ,sacrl fees
offices oflove which she performed
here. Upon her to-day IS prom
ounced the divine benediction
which we all crave and for which
we all live "Well done thou good
and faithful servant. Enter
thou into the joys of thy
Lord. For her we may para
phase the poets words and say,
"Formed on the good old plan,
A true and brave and downright
honest woman,
She blew no trumpet in the market
place.
Nor in the church with hypocritic
face,
Supplied with can't the lack Of grace;
Loathing pretense she did with
cheerful will
What others talked about what
while their hands were still.

Alfalfa Meal.

A plant for grinding alfalfa into
meal just has been installed (ailI
placed in operation at Nanhp ),
Idaho. The process of manulfl--
turing the meal is quite a coA o.
Heated one. The alfalfa TIN s
treated is claimed to be much
better for stock than when fed in
its natural form, as the stalk
which is usually not eaten up
contains the greatest amount Of
protein.
BY manufacturing the hay into
meal, the stock obtain all this
valuable substance. The meal
after. being prepared is placed in
100 pound sacks for shipment.
The machinery installed in the
Nampa plant, which is the first
of its kind to be,cstablished west
of Omaha, is all modern and up
to-date. and has been very expen-
sive. Omaha has two factories.
One of chem cost about 100000
and the other $4,000, and they
are both finding a ready market
for all the meal they can manu-
facture. The difficulty there is
getting the hay to supply the
factory, but in this alfalfa region
there should be no difficulty in
that respect.
The alfalfa meal will become
an important aricle of commerce
there can be little doubt, In
this concentrated torr\ Swxill be
especially valuable fos \ ping
into localities where AIN g lis
not much grown. But for zen
eral feeding ofstock where alfaHa
is produced in abundance We
hardly expect to see the meal
come into general use. 1t is
most too expensive proposition
to compete with chopped hay,
which to a certain extent, answers
the same purpose and is no. an
expensive process.
We predict that it will be many
years till the bulk of the alfalfa
fed to stock, especially sheep and
cattle, will be chopped. This
and the grinding of the hay will
solve the problem of getting rid
of the evil effect of the pesky FOX

GEORGE n. PROUTY OF NEWPORT FOR

The following contraction of words

Mr. Prouty as politician or man.

a natural handicap. Al red cor

it is generally the former type OF man

deadly nature of the mistake becomes
apparent.

who has done good service for his

LITTLE POCKET PHYSICIAN

Hyomei Inhaler That Is Guaran-
teed by III. G. Pierce to Cure
Catarrh.
Thousands who have been cured nv
Hyomei, call the inhaler that comes
with every outfit 1.-THE little pocket
physician" as it is SO small that il can
be carried in the pocket or purse
There is really no excuse whatever
for anyone having catarrh now that
Hyomei is so readily obtainable. If
you have sny doubts about its vaIue.
FL. @. Pierce will let you have a COM
plete outfit with the understanding
that unless it cures catarrh, it will not
cost you cent.
A complete Hyomei outfit consists
of 1.-THE little pocket physician. y a
medicine dropper and a bottle of
Hyomei, and costs only 81, while
additional bottles of Hyomei can be
procured for fifty cents, making it
the most econo ical, as well as the
most reliable treatment for catarrh.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together
and until the last few years it was supposed to
be incurabe. For great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonfal- 1t acts
directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for circu-
lars and testimonials.

Heavy Traffic through Island Pond.
An idea of the immense freight
traffic over the eastern division of
the Grand Trunk railway is shown by
the fact that the daily average from
Island Pond to Portland ia between
400 and 500 loaded cars, eastbound

One of our good friends, farmer,

reason we farmers send to the mail
order houses for goods as much as we
do?v We adnIitted that we did not.
"Well," said he, "while the reason
does not, lie ne re altogether, the fact
that the storeenare shut up so much

night we go toEthe village-we can't

the eoncIusion that the fact that the

The family of the late Josiah Purin-

Moses was poisoned, William was

Josiah by the fall of tree.

The Senate committee on naval

According to statistics made public
from the Office o. the state auditor il

amount paid was s14,025.97 and il
1905, s27 ,979.5S. This great increase
is due to the fact that the Legislature
