The Imperial Hand Bell Ringers of
England, have won ten contests and
for ten years have been champions of
all England as bell ringers. Two years
ago, Mr.. PETER, of the Red Path Bur-
eau was sent abroad to find the best
musical company in all Europe. After
hearing dozens of them, he selected the
Imperial Hand Bell Ringers. They
play large peal of bells and play
them most brilliantly. In fact, in
such difficult selections as the "Poet
and Peasant" They play it with the
time in octaves, that is, two sets of
bells play the tune, one octave above
the other, in order to give brilliancy
to the music, and yet this selection is
so difficult that it takes the best of
to play it well. No ord
mary hand bell company could think
Of attempting it. They play Comrades
in Arms" with beautiful harmony and
several comic selections such as "The

Old Soldier" conservative with the
tenor. And one of the best things
to my mind is their Onward Christian
Soldiers" This great hymn was writ
ten by the rector of their little church
so that they might have a song they
could march by at Sunday School pic
mics as they were too poor to hire a
band. The large bell is SO heavy that
it once broke back the thumb of the
man swinging it, SO that he put
braces on his wrist in order that it
might not happen again. The bells
are made in the best bell factories
in the world
The Bell Ringers contest occupies
a whole day, companies coming from
all England and first one plays and
then the other Finally in great
finale, each playing it's best piece, the
decision of the judges is given. Mr..
Giggle wears the most of the ten
medals given him as leader of this
company.

never been satisfied with any other
section since living here. The big de-
mand for land to rent, with practically
none available around Moscow, was tc
him the best evidence that the popular
ity of Moscow soil had in no way
diminished in recent years.
Mr.. DeBolt spent Sunday walking
over Moscow. This is his conclusion:
81 can't recall having seen even one
vacant dwelling and I have walked a
great deal looking over the town. This
is good evidence that Moscow is a
good town and is growing"

scHENk TRIAL.

81 The Sensational schenk poison trial
I came to ia close last evening. when
the Jury returned to the court room
and informed the court that it could
not reach an agreement. In other
words, It was a hung Jury. This was
probably the most advertised case
ever; tried sins West Virginia. The
wealth Of schenk caused the trial to
attract attention. The boasts Of the
prosecuting attorney, OF Ohio county,
and the counter boasts OF the counsel
for the defendant helped to swell the
matter that found Its way into the
newspaper columns Apart from the
display Of Sostentatious language there
was little in the case that was diff.
ferent To- many others that little is
heard of them.
AS the case progressed public senti.
Sment drifted TO the defendant and she
today IS stronger in the eyes OF the
public than at any time during trial.
II III almost safe to predict that Mrs.

the ina ictment found against her in
