AT THE ELKS OPERA HOUSE
TOMORROW NIGHT

ono OF the most striking and beau
tiful featuYos I'm the spectacle OF
'Parsifal' Is the Flower Garden
scene with its fascinating Flowe
Maidens. This garden. as we are
tod In the story. is the creation OF
Kllngsor for the deliberate purpose
OF seducing the knights OF the Holy
Grail from their lives Of rectltude
and holiness. How well he succeed
ed. for n time at least. we are told
In the story and play. But II is in
the attempted destruction OF the
soul OF the hero himself. Parsifal
where Klingsor put forth his great
est efforts. and the Flower Garden
and Its occupants are made to play
their most important part. The Gar
den Itself Is fairy-like and enchant-
ing. Its luxuriant foliage and tropi-
! cal plants and flowers OF gorgeous
and varied colors are sufficient to
dazzle the eye and bewilder the sen
ses with their splendor and pene-
trating perfume. Then again in ana
out among this sea OF Oriental color
and luxuriousness. there appears n
number OF young and lovely maidens
who rival in beauty OF face and fig
ure the magnificence and charm OF
their exquisite surroundings The
whole scene blazes with irridescent
grandeur In the brilliant sunlight.
1t is into this vortex OF sensuous
creation that the innocent and gull
teless Parsifal is lured by Klingsor. |
intent upon his moral downfall And |
yet we see how this noble youth is |
enabled to resist all the alurements |
and temptations that beset him How
even when the arch temptress. Kun j..

righteousness. Is powerless to az

demons. frustrated in their evil
Vaccinations at last resort to physi-
cal violence. fearful that Parsifal
shall escape them. Klingsor hurls
the sacred lance at the head Of
the valiant youth. It fails to strike
him but miraculously remains sur
pended over his head. Parsifal
grasps the holy relic and with il
makes the sign of the Cross. A loud
crash OF thunder is heard and. as
If an earthquake occurred, the mag

Flower Garden and all it contains

Falsehood and prevarication Is the
stock In trade OF the sheet across tie
street when 1t comes to publishing
news or anything else that appears
In Its columns. The management Of
the concern has never pretended to
confine its columns to legitimate
journalism and is known wherever it
circulates as the "Bluefield Liar"
The article OF the burning OF Mrs.
DR.. Bee was first published in the
Leader as a news item. The article
taken from the Pocahontas Headlight
was a tribute to the dead lady by one
who knew her well and was clipped
and credited out OF respect and as a
compliment to the dead lady. They
wilfully lied in this instance as usu-
al. But we do not care to dirty our
columns with their continual fight
against this journal. Their reputation
Is well known as newspaper OF
doubtful qualities and it would be
Impossible for us to give it more pub
licity.

Students Drink Some.

The Sociology club of the university
has gathered statistics to show that
from so to rs per cent of the univer-
sity students indulge in intoxicating
liquors to some extent. Investigations
OF the Ann Arbor saloon situation have
been going on for several weeks, In
charge of l.. c. Brown, '07 law. It has
been found that the saloons in that
city are not typical of the dram shop
with all its evils. They are social CEN
ters. Saloons are held to be better than
soda fountains, for they are more lux
urious, having leather cushions and all
the comforts of home. The saloons
which cater TO the campus trade" do
so exclusively, permit no excuses, are
we'll furnished and generally sanitary.
AS to the legal regulation of the sa-
loon in the city the Sociology COM
mittee thinks that if present laws were
enforced by the local authorities proper
bounds would be maintained. 1t is
pointed out, rather ironically, in the
committee report that the city now
has police force large enough to en-
force all the city ordinances"

shrouded in Mystery.

The body of Edward Manning aged
90, was found in lonely ravine We'd
nesday morning, the side of his head
having been blown off by a charge of
shot from a gun, evidently fired at
close range from the rear. 1t is clear
ly case of cOld-blooded murder. but
the motive is somewhat mystery, as
roll of bills and his gold watch were
not taken. A bag in which he was
known 10 carry considerable silver
was believed to be missing until Dep
uty Sheriff Sanborn broke into the
restaurant and found the silver had
been left in the money drawer This
seems TO dispose of the robbery the

Manning was the proprietor of a
restaurant and lunch counter, and was
In the habit of going home about 10
o'clock at night. He lived In the east
part of the village, and 1t was neces-
sary for him TO pass along the bank
of the bayou formed by Looking Glass
river, path leading along the river
and across the ravine where the muir
der was committed. Apparently Man
ming had just passed this spot when
the shot was fired and he fell dead,
as there is no sign of a struggle on
his part, and he still had one hand
in his pocket The shot struck him
just back of the left ear and tore an
ugly wound in the skull.
There is absolutely no clue to the
murderer. but the coroner impaneled
a jury and the sheriffs force is work
ing on the case. No one is under sus.
picion as far as can be learned.
People residing in the vicinity of the
scene of the shooting say they heard
a shot between 1915 and 1920, but
did not investigate
Mr. Manning had resided in Portland
for 20 years and had been in the res
taurant business long time. He was
not known TO have any enemies. as
he was not Quarrelsome man and
is not known to have had any trouble
of personal nature. He leaves a
widow and two grown daughters.

For the University.

The senate wrestled and struggled
for time over the U. of NJ. appropria-
ton bill and then passed the bill, in
creasing the university tax from one
fourth to three-eighths of mill on
every dollar of assessed valuation.
This means that the university tax
shall be increased from $4,000, as
last year, to at least $65O,000.
Senators Allen, Fyfe and others who
opposed the bill declared that they
were not opposing the granting of a
large building fund. as the increase
was asked principally for building pur-
poses. They said they did not see why,
because the university needed more
buildings in 1907-S. there should be an
addition to the permanent tax rolls of
the state for so large an amount
every year However, on the final pas
sage only SEM tors Yeomans and Full
Ter voted against the bill.

JOHN PATTON.
Ex-senator Dies of Heart Disease At
Grand Rapids.

Hon John Patton. former U. s. sena-
tor. died Friday in his residence, Grand
papids, from organic heart disease,
with which he had long suffered. Mr..
Patton left the city about a month
ago for Acorn, n. c., where he seemed
TO be improving, and as the season adj
vanced it was thought safe for him TO
return home On the return trip, how
ever, he took severe cold. which set
tied at the seat of the disease, and
was the immediate cause of his death.
Mr.. Patton was born in Curwens-
willie, Pa, October 30. 1850 He was
graduated from Yale in 1876 and from
the Columbia law college in 1877. He
first engaged in the law practice in
Grand Rapids, where he had since
been a continuous resident. In 1894,
upon the death of Senator Stock
bridge. he was appointed United States
senator by Gov. Rich.
Mr.. Patton was a man of learning.
and although he filled with distinction
some of the highest political positions
within the gift Of the state, his friends,
in recounting his career, refer With
greatest pride to his scholarly attain
ments.

spotIess Linen.

The following recipe for the wash
Ing mixture will insure clothes being
beautifully clean and white without a
great amount of rubbing. Get two
pounds of common soda, one gill OF
sweet oil, one gill of turpentine, one
pint of ammonia. Dissolve the soda
and pour into two-gallon bottle, add
the sweet oil and turpentine and. last
ly, the ammonia. Shake well together.
and then fill the bottle nearly full with
cold water; shake again and II is
ready for use. One gill of this mix
ture put into the boiler when the
clothes are boiling will surprise any
one who has not tried It before. IL
leaves no smell, is economical ans
does the clothes no injury.

ACCOUNT BOOK A NECESSITY.
Without II, There Is Bound to Be
Waste in Household.

Unless one keeps a record of the.
way in which the pennies go, the ex-
pense account has a disagreeable
habit of swelling larger than the in
come.
With an account book a housekeep-
er knows at a glance just how much
meat, -four, or other articles of food
it has taken for the table during the
month, and can compare with the.
same month of the year before.
In this way one can easily tell IL
expenses are still on the same Level
or If they are on the increase, and
the cause may be readily discovered.
Money left loose in a purse or bas
goes, but no one can make an accurate
account of it at the end of the month.
The little account book. with every
thing down in black and white keeps
business methods in the buying of sup
plies. and is great factor for econ

Politicians Worrying.

Politicians dependent upon senator
ial preference for their salary berths
are closely watching every sign that
appears in the political skies TO ascer-
tain whether Senator Burrows and
Senator Smith have reached an agree
ment as TO the apportionment OF pa
tronage. The federal building in Grand
Rapids is filed with appointees of
Senator Burrows, and it is believed
that among them are several whom
Senator Smith would like to displace
with men who were active in bringing
about his election as senator. Were
the senators to lock horns on the mat
ter of patronage, IL rs advanced that
probably under such circumstances
the senate would decline to confirm
Michigan appointments and that as a
result the present officeholders might
continue indefinitely in Office.
