us that the late F. G. Rumann carried
an insurance policy in that order for
81, 900 which amount was paid over
to the widow in less than thirty days
time. The M. w. A. is noted for the
prompt payment of losses. That
probably accounts in a measure for
the large membership. Erwin has
some IS members, which is a large
number for a town of that size.
Saturday evening, January 30th,
the people of Lake Henry vicinity to
the number of about fifty gathered
at a reception given at the Geo. Pr
lett home in honor of Carl Hasche
and bride. The ladies provided a lap
supper and the evening was greatly
enjoyed by all. The happy newly
married couple were presented with
a handsome rocking chair as a mem
ento of the occasion. Carl and his
wife are living on the farm formerly
known as the John Edzard's place.
Have you noticed that bright new
star in the east which can be seer
very early in the morning? Better
make hast and take a look at it for
the astronomers tell us that it will be
a matter of something like 500 years
before it will appear again. We speak
of it as a new star, when as a matter
of fact it is one of the oldest, but
makes its appearance very rarely. 1t
is the star of Bethlehem, which guild
ed the wise men from the east 1909
years ago. 1t can be seen just before
daybreak.-Gray Interstate.

A p%erusal of the Bookings papers
of last week failed to reveal an account
of the Lowry meetings of tie week
prior, "Lowryisms" or any other adj
vertising such as Mr.. Lowry is in the
habit of using. On the contrary, one
of the papers contained a long article
favorable to Christian Science, and
the other a long article roasting"
Lowry for his Suggestive" language
upon the subject of amusements. The
latter was by Rett E. Olmstead, min
lister of the First Unitarian Society,
of Bookings, and characterized Mr..
Lowry as a "vilifier of our young men
and young women, and one who
''should be silenced."
Frequent interruptions of ap-I
plause during the play and the robust
ovation at the end Of each act testified
gallantly to the sensational success
last night of Son the Frontier" as
presented by Clamans Players, says
the paper at Mnot, n. d. The opera
house rang with huzzahs enough TO
last for months. The players had to
deal with Western Frontier life in
tensely human in sentiment. The
scenes are laid in the far west in
the early mining days when the
smooth villain attempts to rob the
rightful owners of their possessions.
Praise should be given to B. Clamans
on his Interpretation of Bobby Birch
Clearance Manion as the villain made
good and succeeded in getting him
self disliked by a sympathetic audi
ence. The specialties between acts
were good and were well received.
