BEAUTIFUL. MODERN STORE

~ mammoth CrOWU attended the lOr-
NAL opening of the large new store of
the Beeler Bros Wednesday evening.
Many farmers and their families
were among the guests while the To-
cal crowd was large. Vogets orches
ira on a high stand near the office
of the store, furnished the music. The
clerks were all dressed in neat white
attire while the proprietors welcomed
the visitors at the door.
For number of weeks the decora.
tor of the store had been busy ar.
ranging for the opening which mark
ed the completion of the building,
and his handiwork was highly cOmpli-
mented The feature of these decora-
lions was the window display which
contained four large clusters of green,
white and blue chrysanthemums of
which the bulbs were all aglow from
the light of the small electric lights
secreted in the flowers. Light from
the tifty-two electric lights on the
ceiling of these windows gave the
beautiful display of fall and winter
stock good effect.
Fine art linels. silks and imported
goods made up the window display.
Entering the large room the visitors
found the decorations exceptionally
beautiful. The large showcases on
both sides of the store and in the
center were covered with pointsettas,
palms, lilies and other beautiful flow.

grill work with the grape leaves twin
ing about them. Heavy brass pots
held real sea moss and mountain
ferns, while the best of the store S
stock made up the other decorations
The opening was a great success.
| For number of years both F. A.
and l.. M. Beeler, the proprietors of
the Beeler Bros. store, have endeav-
cred to have the owner make many
improvements in the building they
occupy and after nearly four years
negotiations the final papers were
signed on June Z, 1909, by A. c. Tay,
lor of Cedar Rapids, Ia, the owner
and the store management who now
have long lease on the store.
1t was at first thought but one floor
was needed, but seeing the rapid
growth of the town Mr.. Taylor de-
cided on two floors. In August, 1909
the actual work was commenced on
the building and today with the ex
ception of the upper floor it is about
completed.
All the work was done by Norfolk

No foreign ruler or man of eminence

guest in whom no unworthy or unfriend-

The death # King Edward compelled
the curtailment Of public demonstra-
tions and entertainments projected in
his honor Even at that he was unable

upon him
In characteristic fashion Mr.. Roose-
velt deprived Londoners of the oppor-
tunity Of giving him a send-of. Before
the people were aware Of his intention
he had quietly left the city, not half a
dozen persons knowing the time or the
manner Of his departure
It appears that Mr.. Roosevelt COM

Philadelphia. June 9.-Cured of tetanus
bv a new treatment used for the first
time in this city, John Smith. twelve
years old, was discharged from the West
Philadelphia Homeopathic Hospital to-
day. He was admitted TO the hospital
eight weeks ago. and at that time 1t was
thought he could live only a few hours
The treatment used IN effecting the
cure is the discovery of a German physi-
clan. 1t consists of injections of mag
nesium sulphate in conjunction with the
antitoxin treatment. These injections
are made into the spinal column. where
the fluid reaches the nerve centre, re-
lieving the violent spasms which usually
cause death. In the case of Smith forty
drops Of magnesium sulphate were in
jected at a time. the dose being gradu-
ally decreased.
Drs. Charles Fox and William c,
Pierce took charge of the case and ad-
ministered the magnesium sulphate.

The duke is first to make a visit to

The Duke of Connaught. brother Of King

Earl Grey's probable successor. The ap-
nointnent has been greatly desired by Ca
