TWENTIETH, ANNIVERSARY.
Members of Ancient Order of
Knights Of Eberhardt
Celebrate.

Sunday was the twentieth anniver-
sary of the Ancient Order of the
Knights of Eberhardt as we'll as the
date of their annual meeting, which
took place that afternoon at Eber-
harrisburg, in Green Bay township.
There was a large attendance of the
members and quite number of novices
were advanced to Knighthood. Being
the twentieth anniversary of the found
ing Of the order in America, the exer-
cises were unusually interesting and
spirited, and it may be said in this con-
nection that it is the only branch of
the order in the United States. The
order originated in Germany and the
ritualistic exercisis are all conducted in
German, though there are many men,
bers who have no German blood, though
have distinct symptoms OF the noble
race.
Besides the ritualistic ceremonies
there are many other innocent pleas
ures connected with the annual event,
among them being the singing of the
old songs of the Fatherland and a
general commingling of good fellows
who believe that the world and the
things it contains were made to enjoy.
There were also many ladies present,
who evidently enjoyed the many good
things as we'll as the men.
In honor of the twentieth anniver-
sary eight toasts were proposed and
responded to. They were:
l. Glorious Star Spangled Banner.
2. Glorious Country of America.
3. Good Old Fatherland.
4. Grandsire, Burgfolk and Ladies.
5. To all Merrymakers in the Uni
verse.
6. To the Wine We Drink.
z. To the Wine Caterer.
s. To Our Guests and Absent Knights.
1t was decided that Noah was the
first Knight of Eberhardt.
Among the honored guests was DR..
A. Brown, of Des Moines, representa-
tive of the government pure food de-
partment. DR.. Brown was made a
Knight and expressed himself more
than satisfied with the entertainment
and proved himself most congenial
gentleman and companion.
Others present from out of the city
were: Carl Ende, Henry Premier,
Henry Starker, Herman Weinrich and
Carl h. Stempel, all of Burlington, and
Mr.. and Mrs. W. c. Stempel, Of Leon.
The festivities continued until 8
o'clock, closing with the usual display
of fireworks, when all departed for
home, enjoying the pleasant evening
with a launch ride.-Ft. Madison Demo-

For week ending July Is, 1907

For week ending July Is, 1907
Des Moines, Iowa.
The temperature of the past week
was nearly the normal, and there was
generally the usual amount of sunshine.
Heavy showers were reported from
special stations on the 9th, 10th, 11th,
14th and 18th, and in all districts there
was great excess of rainfall, ranging
from to inches in scattered local
tiles, causing considerable damage by
floods and erasion of soil. In the larger
part of the state conditions were favor
able for field work three to four days,
and fair progress has been made in
finishing cultivation of corn and begin
ming the harvest of hay, winter grain,
early oats and barley. In the southern
section oats made rank growth, and re-
ports indicate that some damage may
results from rust. The corn crop has
made rapid growth in we'll cultivated
fields. The hay crop gives promise Of
being nearly up to the normal in yield.
Pasturage has never been better in the
midsummer period. Conditions have
been favorable for potatoes, garden
truck and the minor crops. a

celebrated their Golden Wedding in
that city last Saturday, and adopted a
unique method of inviting their friends.
Instead Of isuing the usual formal invi-,

they purchased advertising space in
the Abba papers and announced that
they would be at home to their friends
without special invitation from to S
o'clock in the afternoon and from to 10

to say that all of their friends attended

Pima County Mines.

The west season assures miners that for the next year they will be unham- pered in their work by lack of water and with conditions fourishing as at present in Pima county the coming twelve months promise to be one of greatest importance in the mining history of the county. The Silver Bell camp is developing rapidly into one of the largest and most profit able camps of the territory. On every side of the camp contagious properties are being developed with prospect that mines of greater size and wealth than the original Silver Bell pro- perties will be opened.
 The Twin Buttes Is shipping one hundred tons of ore every day and that amount will be increased as the work of the year goes on. Additional machinery and extensive operations under ground will open up during the coming months additional bodies and increased yield of the mine. As in the case of the Silver Bell adj ,cent properties are being developed with every probability of success.
 The entire section is without a doubt highly mineralized and the ore ap- pears to lie Tn immense and paying g quantities comparatively near the sur face with richer values at depth.
 The Paymaster camp is a scene of unprecedented activity. The last an nual meeting of the directors and stockholders ordered development in every way and as rapidly as possible Underground work is being pushed actively and large amount of new machinery is en route. The company expects to increase it's regular ship ments to at least car load per day by the first of Cctober. The Helvetia district has been entered by the largest copper companies of the country and it is rumored that the Helvetia Copper Co.'S properties will be purchased by the Phelps-Dodge interests.
 Pima county has always been con- sidered rich field but sufficient capital has never been put into any one pro- position to make it success until the past two years and it seems now that capital has been interested in sufficient quantity to develop the resources of the county in 8 thorough and scientific manner.-Post.
