toned that most of the farm sales of the

Cured largely through a misunderstood

DEATHS DOINGS
MISS LOU GlLMOUR.

Tae sudden death of Miss Lou Gilmour
occurred in lincoln, Nebraska, Friday
morning, May 18th, at II a. m, without
a moments warning to her friends.
She had been in her usual health and
fulffsss On this account the blow fell
with very great force upon her sister-in-
law Mrs. Jennie Gilmour and her five
nephews, With whom she had made her
home. Miss Lou was a bright light in
the snOme. She was consistent member
OF the Methodist Church. 1t is sad to
think that one whose whole life had
been devoted to acts of charity and
kindness should so suddenly be called off
Of this stage of action. But the will of
Hin who doeth all things well is not to
be questioned.
Miss Gilmour was born in Cherry Hill
Md. August 1, 1854, Death took ner
father when she was two years Of age,
the mother going when Miss Lou was
twenty -four.
In 1879 she went to Elkton to keep
house for her brother, w. o. Gilmour,
and assisted in raising his three child
ren, their mother having gone to her
reward.
There she made her home for about
five years, when on account of i'll hearth
she was compelled to change her home.
She then went to live with another bro
ther, E. s. Gilmour, Newark, Del, and
| in 1883 moved with this family to
Omaha. The same year they moved to
Ewing, where they resided until 1906
then going to O'Niel, Neb. 1t was here
on April 1S, 1907, that occurred the death
OF her brother E. S. Gilmour. Thi,
caused them to return to Ewing, remain
ing there until July, 19O9 when they de-
cided to make their home in Lincoln, the
place of Miss Louis death.
Funeral services were held in the home
on Saturday afternoon. May 20. On Sun
day morning the remains were taken tt
Ewing, accompanied by five nephews o
the deceased-Harry, Will, Ned, Jay an,
| Eugene Glmour The funeral services
| were held at the M. e. Church by thu
pastor, Rev. o. Eggleston. Intermen
was made in the Ewing Cemetery, Ne
| braska.

SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE
Eiler's to Open Piano Sale in Dallas
During Next Ten Days.

A. 7. Nunnelly, special representa-
tive of Eiler's Music House, of Port
land, is in the city and registered at
the New Scott hotel. In an inter
view he said that, in his estimation
"Dallas is one of the most prosper
Gus and progressive towns in this
part Of the country, and | have de-
cided to become connected with the
Stockwell Music Company Of this
city during their sale of high grade
pianos for the next ten days"
Mr.. Nunnelly has been connected
with the old and reliable firm of
Eiler's Music House, of Portland, as
their special representative for some
time and declares that the wonder
full growth of his firm since its in
ception 13 years ago, on First street,
Portland, is due largely to the splen-
did support from the smaller pros
pering towns such as Dallas.
He says that Eiler's Music House
has placed a geat many high grade
instruments in Dallas homes which
goes to show that the people of this
vicinity appreciate high quality IN
struments at prices that are always
right.

Madagascar
ThunderstOrrhs never occur in the
arctic regions. and even the north OF
Scotland very seldom suffers from
such q visitation. The nearer you get
to the equator the more frequent and
severe are the electric manifestations.
In parts Of Central Africa the average
of thunderous days rises to the aston
lshing total of 250 per annum-
Yet there are curious exceptions. In
Java and Sumatra, both intensely hot
climates. there are but ninety-two
storms yearly. and in Borneo only
fifty.
The Gold coast of Africa has only
sixty a year. which is less than occur
In Florida. though the latter country
Is outside the tropics.
In Jamaica there is a thunderstorm
every day during the rainy season.
which lasts for FIVE months. These
storms almost always occur between
midday and 3 in the afternoon
Perhaps the most astonishing fact
with regard to thunderstorms is that
the island Of Mauritius, which Is only
$50 miles east Of Madagascar. has. on
an average. only one thunderstorm in
eighty years. Yet in Madagascar the
lightning is more destructive than any
where else in the world. the annual
death roll being over 3OO.-PearsOn's

And the Old Man Didn't Know Which
Set Was the Worst.
An old man from rural England
with his wife was on a holiday in
London and decided on an evening at
theater. He looked up the adver-
tisemeuts in the papers and selected a
house where Ali Raba and the Forty
Thieves" was being played. 1t was
"cheap" house, the price of stalls be-
ing given as two-and sixpence. The
farmer was surprised. however, on ar
irving at the box office to be met with
a demand for shillings for the two
tickets. The extra siXpence per seat,
1t was explained, was for booking.
Then he was called upon to pay six
pence for program. and the female
attendant who showed him to the
seats also asked for sixpence. In addi-
ton to which there was a shilling to
be paid for hats and coats being taken
rare of in spite Of his protest that
they could take care of them them
selves. A footstool was brought for
his wife and was accepted without
suspicion that it would be charged for.
but the attendant who brought 1t de-
manded another sixpence, and finally
opera glasses were handed to them
and payment of another sixpence re-
quested. Then the farmer went in
search of the manager and. finding
him. said In a tone of deepest disgust:
"You may do what you like with these
tickets. There are so many thieves in
front of the house that we don't think
we want to see the forty on the
