How the Grand Lodges Are Voting.
 Pythinn Gleanings.
 The Pythian Lodge Secret appears to be keeping tab on how the domains are voting on the pending amendments to the supreme constitution. It says: Out of fourteen states, whose vote we can verify by the grand lodge proceed ings, three voted in favor and eleven against the eighteen year amendment to the supreme lodge constitution. One voted in favor and thirteen voted against the proposition to permit grand lodges to fix the minimum membership fee. This does not look like getting the requisite vote in favor of either propo- sition."
 Unity lodge of Boston conferred the rank of page upon q class of seventy five candidates recently with dramatic and scenic effects.
 Illinois has decided to emulate the example of Ohio Pythians, and $2O0,- 900 home is to be located at some cen tral point in Illinois, probably at De catur or Bloomington.
 The endowment rank of the order now has a membership of 75,OO0 in good standing.
 The first Pythian lodge was institut- ed in Washington oa Feb. 19, 1864.

SERVE MORE CURRENTS.
They Are Said to Contniu More Nutri-
 mcnt Than Iean Beef.

Only q few years ago nobody knew that there was any food value to the little dried so called Greek currants Since then food chemists have demon strated that there is far more nutrition in them than in lean beef Sir Francis Lak1ng, physician to King Edward says that nutrition ill white bread is greatly increased by them and that thirty parts of entrants should be add ed to seventy parts of dough. To add them to bread, wash, dry well and mix with the four after sitting 1t with salt They also make good winter substi- tute in all bread and batter recipes that call for fresh huckleberres. The best variety to get are the Zanti cur rants, which come from the island of Zanti. They are really not entrants, but are small variety of seedless grape.
 To use them with sour cream salt a cup of sour cream. Put in little less than you believe to be just enough soda to neutralize the acid. Beat 1t until foamy. Sift pint of four with one cup of sugar and one teaspoonful of baking powder Add one cup of dried entrants or fresh blueberries and bake as muf1ins.-Exehange.

The SCnlp.

The cleaning of the scalp should be very carefully and tenderly performed. It is best to use warm water with q mild soap, rubbing in gently and with the ends of the fingers, then rinsing with tepid water. Drying should be done by gently pressing the hair and scalp, with very dry towel. continu- ing until thoroughly dry. Tanning is another safe process. If any applica- ton is necessary to bring hair thus dried into shape, dampen with solu- tion of bichloride of mercury. Stiff brushes are especially injurious to the tender scalp, causing the hair to break and irritating the delicate skin cover Ing of the head.

were completely burned out.
The large department store of the
Northwestern Lumber company was
among the business places wiped out,
and the loss to the building and stock
will total $4,000.
Among the other losers were: ]. N.

sella, farm implements, $4,000; Norwe.

could not be far distant. Tuesday
night another seizure left him com.
pletely unconscious, and his physf

Batum.-W. H. Stuart, the American
gice consul, was shot and killed near
his country place Sunday night. The

During the revolutionary troubles Of

Christmas a deputation visited his Of
Ace and practically compelled him to
give them $1,000 under the guise of a
holiday gratuity for dock laborers.
Aside from the troubles during the
revolutionary disturbances last fall,
Mr.. Stuart had had no friction with
the native population. He was so gen.
orally respected that he was on sew
eral occasions called upon to act as
intermediary during the racial war be-
tween the Tartars and the Armenians,
saving the lives of several Of the lat
ter.
Mr.. Stuart, who was 40 years of age,
had spent the greater part of his life
in Russia, the last II years in Batum.
Besides his official connections he had
extensive business relations through
out the entire Caucasus. He spoke sew
eral native dialects and was considered
an authority on land.

beets. The company, he says, has
made money every year until 1905, and
the present situation is due to the
poor quality Of last years crop. With
good season, he says, they will more
than pay off all the floating indebted
ness besides the running expenses.
The most of the crop Of last year came
from the western part of the state, the
largest acreage being at North Platte,
and II the farmers out there do not
raise beets this season the company
may be short of beets.
