GIVES POUND PARTY

The members of Fremont Lodge No.
1927, NJ B. A, gave a pound party
last evening for the benefit of one of
its members who is quarantined with
her children, on account Of diph-
iberia. She is a widow and dependent
upon her work for the maintenance
of the family. The party was held at
the residence of Miss Dusky Baxter,
223 Harrison avenue. The attendance
was large and the offering was very
bountiful, many contributing who
were unable to be in attendance.
Progressive Might've without favors,
was the entertainment for the even
ing. The successful winners Of the
largest score attempted to eat an
apple together suspended in the
doorway. The unsuccessful were CIV
en- a long string to chew.
In selecting partners for the pic
mic supper which followed the game,
the gentlemen were each given two
numbers. A sheet was suspended be-
tween the parlor and dining room
and two fingers of lady were ex-
tended through a slit in the center
into which one of the tickets was
placed. This manner OF selecting
partners was novel. and created con-
siderable merriment.

FLOW STEADY AT 5000
GALLONS A MINUTE

A volume of not less than 5000 gal
Ions of water a minute is flowing
from the portal OF the Roosevelt tun-
mel in the Cripple Creek district, ac-
cording to a report made this week
by Engineer T. r. Countryman to the
tunnel company directors. This is
about 100 gallons in excess of the
measurement made last week and the
Indications are that the flow will be
steadily increased as the tunnel work
progresses. A steady flow of 5000
gallons is considered very satisfac-
tory by mining men and the tunnel
directors in particular, as 1t is recog-
nized that at this rate the water level
will be rapidly lowered. The conclu-
sion reached by Mr.. Countryman IS
that the main water course OF the dis
trlct, the c. X. & y. channel, has been
tapped and, as a matter OF fact, about
three-fourths OF the outflow is COM
ing from this source.
meeting of the tunnel company
directors is expected In the near fu-
ture to determine the future opera
tions in opening up additional drain
age territory. Some of the mining
men in close touch with the situation
feel that there is nothing to be gained
by pushing the tunnel heading farther
and that any additional work should
be done in the direction of the Fuller
crosscut on the C. x. & n. vein.

CHILDREN INJURED
Ordinary Catliartics and Pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Distressing
Complaints

You cannot be over-careful in the
selection of medicine for children.
Only the very gentlest bowel medicine
should ever be given, except in
emergency cases. Ordinary pills, ca
thartics and purgatlves are apt to do
more harm than good. They many
cause gripping, nausea and other dis
tressing after-enects that are fire.
'huently health-destroying.
We personally recommend and guar
sntse Rexall orderlies as the safest
and most dependable remedy. which
we know, for constipation and ssso-
ciate bowel disorders. We have such
absolute faith III me virtues Of this
remedy that we sell Il on our guar
sntee of money back ~ every In
stance where IT fails to gise entire
satisfaction. and we urge all I'M Need
of such medicine to try 1t at our risk,
Rexall orderlies are aten just like
candy. are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken at
any time. day or night: do not cause
diorrhoea. nausea, gripping, excessive
looseness, or other undesirable ef-
fects. They have a very mild but posi-
tive action upon the organs with
which they come in contact, appar-
emily acting as a regulative tonic up
on the relaxed muscular coat OF the
bowels. thus overcoming weakness,
and aiding TO restore the bowels 10
more vigorous and healthy activity.
Rexall orderlies commonly COM
pletely relieve constipation, except OF
course when OF seurgicaI character.
They also tend to overcome the neces-
sity of constantly taking 1axatives Tn
keep the bowels in normal condition.
Three sizes OF packages, 10 cents, rs

AN EXPENSIVE TRIP

Alex. Steffey of Elizabeth street,
went to Cripple Creek the first of the
day he was to start for home, he dis
located his shoulder, and had to have
a doctor set it. A short distance from
the Creek it was thrown out again,
but he was determined to get home,
as he had phoned his wife he would
be home that night, SO in spite of in-
tense pain, he drove thirty miles or
more. A short distance from home
he was suffering so accutely, he laid
down in the wagon bed. trusting tire
horses to find their way As they Of
ten had before, when 1t was very
dark, as it was then. Just where
Field and Elizabeth intersect is an
ugly alkali ditch with good bridge
across The horses in making the
turn, missed the bridge and went into
the ditch, into the worst kind of mud,
almost like quicksand. AS soon as Mr..
Steffy could make himself heard, his
boys were on the spot and quickly
aroused the Immediate neighbors,
who worked for two hours before the
last horse was dragged out. The
banks of the ditch are steep, so the
horses had no chance TO help them
selves. The last horse out was so ex-
hausted he was left by the roadside
well covered and supposedly safe,
Some hours later in its struggle TO
rise IL floundered into the ditch again,
this time nearly buried in the mud.
AS soon as discovered, Mr.. Vaundry
and son, Ben. came with their big
team and dragged him out and to the
house where he was discovered to be
dead. At midnight Mr.. Mcwilliams
took Mr.. Steffy to the doctors. The
shoulder was so swollen and painful
that chloroform had to be admins
tered before It could be reset. Mr..
Steffy thinks he had enough trouble
TO last him awhile and also that the
oil dadage holds true, that TROUBLES
never come singly." The neighbors
sympathize with him and hope that
this Is the last OF his hard times.

was electrocuted this morning. His
nerve never failed him and he walked
to the chair apparently maintaining
his composure throughout. Not once
was there any indication of physical
or mental weakness, and he was by
far the calmest man in the death
chamber. He was pronounced dead at
1928, just three minutes after he en-
tered the chamber.
Rev. Fix and Rev. Dennis accom-
panied him to the chair after brief
prayer.

The prisoner slept peacefully all

him this morning in time for his ex-

and assisted the attendants to adjust
the straps and electrodes.
The body was embalmed and turned
over to his brother Douglas. He will
be buried in the Maury cemetery.

After the execution Rev Fix an
nounced the following confession by
Beattie: "I confess my guilt of the
crime charged. Much that was pub

true, but the awful fact without the
narrowing circumstances remains.
For this action I am truly sorry, and

But he recovered quickly.
The fortitrde OF TIE elder P.att.a
had more to do with the recovery
than the soothing offices of the Rev.
Benjamin Dennis. who has labored
with the doomed prisoner. With
Spartan self-control the father kept
his emotions in check, although the
tears raced down his cheeks and his
lips twitched pathetically. No words
were spoken, but the young wife muir
derer must have felt the stern re-
preston Of his parent. for his sobs
were strangled and he straigtened up.

away. Neither father nor brother
trusted to reply, but made their way

WAlLUKU, June 9.-The cottage of

about $1,000. Rev. Mr.. White was at
Halawa church. Molokai, superinten-
ding the repair work of that church
while his wife and family had all gone
up to see the closing exercises at La
hainaluna Seminary yesterday. There
was no one at home. There being no
fire engines at Lahaina, and the near
est thing to a fire engine were fire ex-
tingushers which were only useful at
the beginning of fire, and not when
the fire had made so much Roadway
| so although there were many who ar
rived at the scene before the fire had
enyeloped the building and would
have worked heroically like firemen II
there were any fire hose on hand to
save the building with, they were the
| sorriest crowd OF men who stood
gasping at their inability to save the
building and its valuable contents.
II is understood that an idea was
mooted sometime ago to raise sub
scrlptions for new passionate so that
idea will now be carried out with the
greatest possible haste and as soon
rs the money for the purpose is avail
able.
The origin OF the fire Is unknown
but II is surmised that 1t was from
the cooking range for the family In
their anxiety to get up to Lahaina-
luna might not have thoroughly put
the fire out before leaving.
