doubt, the largest and best res.
ervOir.
1t uses about half the fuel used
on other ranges, and does better
work by far.
The Majestic All Copper Nick
eled Reservoir heats the water
quicker and hotter than any
other. 1t is the only reservoir
with removable frame.
The Charcoal Iron Body of the
Great Majestic Range lasts three
times as long as steel body.
Being made Of non-breakable
material, there is practically no
expense for repairing the Males
tic.
AS for baking. it is perfection;
not only for Il few months, but
for all time to come.
A Great Majestic Range lasts three
times as long as a cheap range,
but it don't cost three times as
much.

take our word for any Of the
above statements. but if you will
call at our store, a man from
the factory, where Majestic
Ranges are made. will prove to
your satisfaction that these are
absolute facts, and will show you
many more reasons why the
Great Majestic Range is abso-
lutely the best that money can

OIL STILL BOOMING

The oil excitement is still at high
pitch in Lamar and the members of
the company have the greatest hopes
but owing to the necessary delay in
bailing out the water nothing definite
is known yet. The water was down
this morning sufficiently so that they
could commence drilling again and
there should be some real facts to
give out in the next few days. All
stock. however. is off the market,
and Jawn d. will have hard work
getting corner on this territory.
The company is making preparations
to go ahead with the work of devel-
oping the territory they have secured
and several other companies are be-
ing organized to operate here and at
Wiley. The discoveries so far made
show this to be oil territory whether
this particular well becomes a gusher
or not. Every bucket of sand being
brought up now carries a good guam
tity OF oil and the prospects are such
as to make all feel happy.

Making Progress.

Between 100 and one hundred and
twenty-five men, who are interest
ed in the progress of the south side
ditch met in the Commercial Club
room this afternoon, and discussed
the important question. The principal
question discussed was whether the
farmers on the south side would do
part OF the work for half cash and
the other half In bonds. The interest
In this ditch is becoming more every
day. The returns from all of the
districts are not in yet and so
is not known whether Charles Max
well or Jesse Wright will be the
next director. An agreement was cir
ulated binding each of the signers
to do work on the half cash and half
bonds basis to the extent of $1,000.
and was literally signed up and Is
now being sent over the district to
give all the beneficiaries an Opportu-
nifty to get into line. 1t looks as If
from present progress something
would be doing in a very short time.

fleet was the dishcaftoiling record of
today.
The calamtous list. coming as 1t
does on the heels of the fatal col
lision in the British channel, when
the American line steamship st. Paul
cut down the British cruiser Gladiator
has upset the nerves of the admiralty
office.
The first of todays accidents was
to the British torpedo boat destroyer
Gala, which was cut in two early this
morning off Kentish KNOCK, in the
North sea by the scout boat Atten-
tive.
Engineer Lieut. Frank A. Fletcher
who was in his bunk on board the
Gala went down with the vessel. All
of the other officers and the crew
were saved.
Britannia's Boiler Explodes.
The torpedo boat destroyer Ribble
was the second war craft to suffer. II
is said the Ribble was struck by the
Gala in recoiling from the blow deaf
by the Attentive. The Ribble has Il
hole Gu tin her plates and she re-
turned to Sheerness with two com
partments flooded
The flotilla was engaged in night
maneuvers at the time, and the COZ
lision is said to have been due to
misunderstood signals.
The third disaster was to the British
battleship Britannia. One of her boil
ers exploded off Portsmouth and four
men were seriously and one slightly
injured. The Britannia is expected
to reach port tonight.
The ST. Paul was dry dockaa today
and not a plate before the water line
was found damaged.
