Interesting Masonic Relics.

The Oregon City Enterprise tells
an interesting story of the recent re-
moval temporarily of the records
from the cornerstone of the Masonic
temple in that city. The putting in
of a new front in the building made
it necessary to disturb the corner
stone. The records were placed in
the bank valut for safe keeping while
the changes were being made. Some
of the papers in their 20 years burial
had become somewhat discolored as
water had gained entrance to them.
The original papers where again
placed in the cornerstone and now
are hermetically sealed The present
lodge, Multnomah No. /, was insti-
tuted in 1S47, receiving it's charter
from the grand lodge of Missouri.
One of the relics of the lodge is an
old horsehide trunk that crossed the
plains in 1S47. in which their char
ter came and which they have now
in their lodge rooms.

spection of live stock exhibits at the
Missoula fair took place today. After
the inspection there was a parade of
road horses at the fair grounds and
around the track and parade of
live stock in front of the grand

helped to swell the attendance were
one mile ladies driving race limit
ed to ladies of the Bitter Root and
Frenchtown valleys and a balloon
ascension and parachute leap. In the
agricultural hall in the afternoon
there was an Interestingly apple
packing contest. The award of pre-
miums also took place today. The
western Montana fair which has been
organized with a view to showing
forth the advantages of Flathead,

! One baby was killed by putting in
its mouth a poultice that had fallen
from a boil on its fathers neck, and
another, sitting on it's fathers lap
found in his pockets some strychnine
tablets which it ate. while the father
dozed, with fatal results. Lye in
some form was responsible for 81
accidents. mostly to children, and
was fatal in 16 cases. One promi-
nent physician went to his medicine
chest in the night to get a cough
syrup for himself, and took carbolic
acid instead; another physician took
three times the regular dose of
acetanilide; an undertaker's assist
ant drank embalming fluid in mis-
take for whiskey, and an editor,
looking for the same thing, got a
dose of mosquito poison instead.
Not few persons looking for whis-
key in the dark got the wrong
poison.
Four luckless individuals who
drank bay rum as a beverage, lost
their lives, nine persons were killed
by drinking Florida water, "a chill
dren were made sick by eating cas-
tor beans. the misuse of ordinary
fiavoring extracts injured eight per-
sons. and several persons were in
jured because a cook mistook arsenic
for baking powder. One man drank
a preparation of borax intended for
spraying fruit trees. and 81 persons
took corrosive sublimate by mistake.
These cases are fairly representative
of the entire number.
The tabulation includes several
cases where the wrong medicine was
administered by trained nurses, and
few cases where medicines intend
ed for inhalation was swallowed, and
in practically every case the careless
ness of some one was responsible for
the injury done. A strong move
ment has been started to secure pub
licity for the information included
in the tabluation. in the hope that
by having their attention called to
the great number of accidents that
occur annually, parents will exer-
else greater care in keeping medi-
cine and poisons out of the reach of
children and also in taking medi-
cines themselves, or administering it
to others without being absolutely
sure that they have the right medi-
cine and are taking, or administer
ing. the correct quantity.

The Potato Cron OutIool.

New York Oct. 11.-Now that the
potato crop has almost matured, a
reliable estimate can be made as to
the yield compared with previous
years. Though the month of August
brought no Improvement in the pros
pect of the crop generally 1t is fort
unate that blight is not general,
though rather serious in Michigan.
Colorado, Ohio. New York and the
New England states. Wisconsin and
Minnesota have also been visited by
the disease but not TO such an extent
as the states mentioned. In the
heavy potato growing districts of the
north western states conditions are
quite irregular. In Wood county,
Wis, early tubers are yielding in
differently and there are fair pros
poets for the late crop and on the
whole the acreage and yield this sea-
son will be below the last. In Fond
Idu Lac and Washura growers are
estimating that the yield will fall
short of last year by 20 per cent but
in Sauk county the prospects are
quite encouraging. In few sections
of Minnesota less than average yield
is promised but elsewhere in that
state the situation is fairly good.
Accounts from the territory east of
Ohio show variable conditions yet
fairly promising. In New York where
blight is not prevalent potatoes are
developing reasonably well while the
Southern New England crop is indiff-
ferent. This statement also applies
to New Hampshire and Vermont.
but Aroostook county, Me-, very
important producer is bringing an in
creased acreage 10 good maturity.
In connection with probabilities OF
potato imports into the United States
during the coming winter and spring.
The recent British government re-
port on the crop there may have
some weight. II states that the pros
pect for the 1906 United Kingdom
potato yield is somewhat above the
average. t

Methodist Census.

New York. Oct. 1.-THE Rev. DIR.
H. X. Carroll. secretary of the Meth
odist Missionary society, who is
known as a Methodist statistican, is
compiling some interesting tables.
These show that Ohio contains more
Methodists than any other state or
territory and that the smallest num-
ber are more than 100000 Meth
odists. These are as follows: Ohio,
313, 3,13S; Pennsylvania, 309, 9,122; New
York. 2S7,S62; Illinois, 225,266; In
diana, 203,307; Iowa, 1880;
Michigan, 114,220; New Jersey,
105,529, and Kansas, 104,35S.
Based upon the number of Meth
odist communications in proportion
to the population, Delaware is the
most Methodist state in the Union,
having one Methodist to every nine
persons, Maryland has one to thir-
teen. Ohio one in fourteen, Indiana
one in fifteen. and West Virginia one
in eighteen. The center of the Meth
odist population in the country is,
according to DR.. Carroll. in Ohio
near Waynesfeld, southeast of Lima.

HAD PLENTY BUT STARVED.
The Unusual Case of Misery Phila-
deIphia Women.

In Philadelphia the other day two
women were found in howell dying
from starvation. The room was
filthy, debris was piled in corners
and rats scampered over the floor as
the police entered. There was every
evidence of extreme poverty and
suffering for the necessaries of life.
But the fact is that the women were
not deserving of the slightest pity.
They lived in squalor and died OF
starvation from choice. They owned
nroperty valued on the tax books at
$4,000 and easily worth $15, 200
more. in addition to which it is
known that they were possessed OF
several thousand dollars in ready
cash. But their love for money was
so intense that they wouldn't spend
anv of it to sustain their lives. 1t
is a cold fact that the community
is better off with such people in the
cemetery.

Webster Counties Broad, Liberal
Minded and Progressive.
Editor of The Dawson News: VIII
you kindly publish few thoughts
cleaned along the way?
l spent five months this year in
southwest Georgia-from the 5th Of
April until the 9Th of September
and never in my life have l enjoyed
a visit so much. l spent the most
of the time in Webster and Terrell
counties. | have a lot of good
friends there. Some of as good peo-
pie as ever lived are there, and
promised to write to them through
the press. Therefore, / ask that you
give me a small space in your valua-
BILE paper to do so.
| am a native South Carolinian,
and live in the Piedmont belt, at the
foothills of the Blue Ridge noun
tains, about which | will tell you in
the future. | must confine my
thoughts now to the Empire State,
but the only thing that separates
South Carolina and Georgia are the
muddy waters of the Savannah river,
and what affects the great state of
Georgia is felt with equal force in
South Carolina.
AS l have already stated, I spent
my five months visit in Webster and
Terrell. | have never in my life met
a more liberal, hospitable people re-
ligiously, morally and politically
But Georgia has always been noted
for liberality and sociability, chiv-
airy and courage. The people of
Webster and Terrell have broad, lib
eral views of life-souls that will
expand and enlarge, and congenial
hearts that swell with true friend
ship and joy for each other. / am
not able to say just what Webster
wants, but | can say what she great
ly needs, and that is a first-class, up
to-date newspaper published in the
town of Preston. | hope soon to
hear of live paper being published
there.
| love Georgia, her people and her
history. / love her for her patriot
ism, and her courage. l love her
for the many great men that she has
produced and has sent out in the
land to make the world better by
their lives. And now the Hon. Hoke
Smith is to guide the ship of the
grand old state. With Tom at the
wheel she will ride the angry bill
lows proudly. And with Tillman Of
South Carolina and Bryan of Nebras-
ka as running mates the political
ship cannot be scuttled.
In my next letter l will tell the
readers of The News about upper
South Carolina, and the growing lit
tie city of PARROT, Ga.

A SLEEPING RECESS.
Pennsylvania SchoOlma'am's Expert
ment Works Like a Charm.

mcHD w OEhS ALihC a NIIStl hhe
A bright Pennsylvania school
maam has a sleeping recess" in
her school day. She noticed that
after the noon hour the children in
variably became drowsy and dull,
and set about finding the remedy.
When she had figured it out she an
nounced: Now, children, l am go
ing to let you take a nap of ten
minutes. When l say heads down,
I want each of you to place your
head on your desk and not rise until
| say heads up The experiment
worked like a charm. The children
resumed their studies refreshed and
frightened, to the delight of the
teacher. The sleeping recess" will
continue to be observed in that
school unless the trustees order its
discontinuance.
