Oil For Water Street,

Last week j. P. Burns commenced
the oiling of Water street in the res
idence district from the Water st.
bridge to the fair grounds. The cost
of the oiling is being paid for by the
residents on the street. About a
month ago the sprinkling of the
streets in the resident districts was
discontinued by Mr. Burns, owing
to the fact that he was unable to
make 1t pay, because so many refus-
ed to pay anything towards it. But
the dust has become almost unbear-
able to most of the housewives, SO
consequently the only way out of 1t
is to have the streets oiled. The
first application of the oil on the
streets will require pedestrians to
use the door mat rather vigorously
before they enter their homes on
milady's rugs, or there might be a
chance for a little verbal combat.
But after the oil is settled we'll into
the roads, little or no dust will fly,
and the windows and doors may be
kept open and a huge amount OF
cleaning and busting can be dispens-
ed with.

A FINE TRIBUTE.
Elks Paper Published at Cincinnati
Ohio, Pays Fine Tribute to the
Late Joseph p. Wangler.

The Eleven O'clock Toast, an Elks
paper published at Cincinnati, tells
of the stray herd of Elk located at
Carlsbad, New Mexico, and pays the
following fine tribute to the late Jo-
seph P. Wangler.
Mention has been made in this
paper from time to time of the stray
herd Of loyal Elks who reside in the
pretty city of Carlsbad, New Mexico,
many of whom being thousands of
miles away from their lodges and
from home and kindred, and who are
compelled to spend their days in this
distant place on account of their
health or of some of their loved ones.
The number of these afflicted broth
ers has grown to between thirty and
forty and the bonds of friendship
created by their common affliction is
transformed into the strongest bond
of affection by the fraternal ties of
Elkdom and although the city is by
far too small to permit the granting
of charter for an Elk lodge, the
brothers have an organization known
as the stray herd of Elks and hold
social functions and keep alive their
Elk spirit, and on the first Sunday in
December of each year Elks' memoir
ial service is observed by this little
band of brothers, and eulogy, music
and flowers are the tributes of love
of the memory of brothers gone to
the Great Beyond.
Since the organization of this 10y
al band, the Grim Reaper has invad-
ed their ranks at different intervals
and has taken six or eight of the 10y
al good fellows as his great toll.
Death again recently exacted another
sacrifice and took for its mark Bro.
Joseph P. Wangler, member of De-
orah, (fa.) Lodge, who has been a
resident of Carlsbad for about seven
years, where he was greatly admired
for his sterling and loyable qualities.
Brother Wangler was a true and
loyal Elk and bore his affliction with
philosophical fortitude and was al
ways ready to assist others and lend
them encouragement. He was a be-
loved member of the stray herd, who
will mourn the absence of genial
Joe" as he was known.
Brother Wangler leaves a widow
to mourn him, who has the heart
felt sympathy of the families of the
stray herd of Carlsbad, and also of
the entire people or that city, who
greatly admired Mr.. and Mrs. Wang
ler
Brother Wangler's remains were
taken to Little Rock, Ark, where
they were inferred in the family lot
of Mrs. Wangler."

DEBORAH Defeats Fayette.

The DEBORAH Tennis Team compos-
ed of Messrs. Algyer, Marsh, Baker,
Sr. and Baker, Jr. won the return
match in both singles and doubles
with the Fayette team at that place
Friday. The score for the singles
are as follows: Baker, Jr. defeated
Young GO, GO. Mcintosh defeated
Baker, Sr. rs, 4-6, 6-3. In the finals
Baker defeated Mcintosh 60, GA.

corah. Young and Carmachel de-
feated Marsh and Algyer rs, 4-6,
Sc, Baker and Baker defeated Nc
Intosh and Bennett GA, 2-6, 6-2, FL
nals-Baker and Baker defeated
Carmachel and Young 6-2, 6-1.
DEBORAH had the tables turned on
her a few weeks back by Fayette but
the team was not in the best form
then. The Fayette team is consid.
cred the best in this part of the
state which puts DEBORAH in the high
notches.

has stood in the front ranks in minis

his faithful and loving wife and be-
loved children and so many dear
friends to wish and hope for him
many more such birthday anniversar-

years of life, to see their children
all occupying such high and noble
positions, and enjoying the respect
and esteem of all who know them.

ALL FOURS" WALK
RELIEVES ILLS

From the New York Press
If YOU are the victim of indigestion and
appear a your office each morning with
well-developed Crouch try running
around the room on all fours like a cat
just after YOU have taken your morning
repast. This is the advice of a Paris ply
sician, and lie makes it with all serious
ness He doesn't claim II is a panacea
for all sorts Of indigestion, but he rec
ommends 1t for relief of stagnation In the
stomach-a condition where the food be-
comes massed and prevents a free action
of the intestinal juices.
The effect of his "all fours'' treatment
Is to agitate the stomach, acting as a
massage, and thus aiding II to discharge
Its contents. He has proved by a series
of chemical experiments. assisted by the
X-ray, that the emptying of the stomach
progressed with much greater rapidity
when the patient galloped around the
room for five minutes in the attitude of
the house cat.
