For instance. observe this: The last issue If the Financial World. published

Bishop Wingfeld in 1883. In 1889 he
was appointed rector of the Grammar
School of Racine College, and in 1000

ministration in this state.
Tomorrow Sunday at s a. M, holy
communion will be celebrated at the
guild room, Franklin, neal Crook. The
III O'Clock service will be held at the
Ross-Holly hall, as the church now oe-
cupied will doubtless be too small to
accommodate the people who will want
to attend. A night service, at s O'Clock,
will also be held at Ross Holly hall. To
these services, everyone is invited, and
urged to attend.
Monday evening, a reception will be
rendered Bishop Robinson, at the

EL.KE OBSERVE FLAG DAY
WITH IMPRESSIVE EXERCISES

The Goldfeld lodge of Elks No. 1912,
observed the new institution of Flag
Day, as provided for at the last ma
tional grand lodge of the order. June
14th of every year was set apart by the
Elks as Flag Day. AS the institution
was created only at the last grand lodge
there had not been time to adopt a reg
ular order of exercise, so it was recon-
mended by the grand lode that this
year, the l4th of June coming on Sun
day, that the local lodges repair to some
church and listen to a patriotic and APP
propriate address.
Last Sunday, the local lodge went in
a body to the Presbyterian church, and
listened to an able and inspiring dis.
course by Bro. James Byers, of lodge
1912, and after, to a short address and
eulogy on the American Flag by Bro.
Joseph Hutchinson. The latter address
was historical and delivered with the
most stirring and impressive eloquence.
although both addresses were of a supe
rior order. The exercises throughout
were particularly appropriate and full
of patriotic and enrolling sentiments.

Goldfelds Mining company owns two
groups of claims, one in the Goldfeld
and the other in the Silver Peak dis
trict. The Goldfeld group is in the
eastern part of the district, where but
superficial work has been done and con-
sequentiy nothing is definitely known
of it's possibilities. No work is going
on at present on this group. VIZ are not
advised as to the merits of the Silver
Peak group, or whether any work is
being done there, but presumably not,
as the company has been inactive for
some time. The people are good. l.. l..

dent. Mr.. Aitkin always enjoyed a
