OBITUARY.
MISS SARAH ELIZABETH GREEDY.

miss SARAH ELIZABETH eREELy.
Sarah Elizabeth, daughter Of DIR. Samuel
and Desire (Stinchfield) Greedy, died FRI
day evening at her home on Main street.
Death followed long illness, which had
been critical for weeks.
Miss Greedy was born in Ellsworth
April Is, 1899, and all her life was spent
here except one or two years pursuing the
study OF music. Miss Greedy possessed
marked talent as q pianist anc her
teachers in Boston prophesied for her .
successful career on the concert stage.
But the call to home duties appealed to
her more strongly, and she gave up the
idea Of musical career to devote her life
to others.
This has been the keynote OF her char
acter- unflagging devotion to her home,
unselfish and unwavering loyalty to
friends. Her love for children was also q
marked trait OF her character. Though
living q life of comparative retirement,
her mind was active, and she kept in
touch with the times. Miss Greedy joined
the Congregational church, and was .
constant attendant and teacher in the
Sunday school many years.
She is survived by one sister = Mrs.
Louise Kingsbury, and two brothers =
Everard h. and pr. Harvard Greedy, all OF
Ellsworth.
The funeral was held at the home Mon
day afternoon, Rev. r. B. Mathews ofiici-
ating. Many beautiful flowers expressed
the love and admiration Of frieEds for a
life, quiet and uneventful as the world
goes, but which had lef: its impress upon
all who came in intimate contact with it..

G. A. PARCHER'S SUCCESS.

Great Popularity of Plan to Sell
Medicine at Half Price and
Guarantee Cure.
q. A. Parcher, the enterprising druggist,
rather than await the ordinary methods
of introduction, urged the DIR. Howard
Co. to secure quick sale for their cele-
brated specific for the cure of constipa-
ton and dyspepsia by offering the regular
Soc bottle at half-price.
In addition to selling Soc bottle OF DIR.
Towards specific for 25c, g. A. Parcher
has so much faith in the remedy that he
will refund the money to anyone whom, it
does not cure.
When your head aches, your stomach
does not digest food easily and naturally,
when there is constipation, specks before
the eyes, tired feeling, giddiness, bad
taste in the mouth, coated tongue, heart
burn, sour stomach, roaring or ringing in
the ears, melancholy and liver troubles
DIR. Howard's specific will cure you. II it
does not, it will not cost you q cent.
This latest achievement OF science is
Of great value in curing sick headache.
Thousands of women are today free from
that painful disease solely through the
use Of this specific.

A USEFUL INVENTION.
Patented by Deer Isle Captain, for
Navigators.

Capt Edward Y. Haskell, of New Lon
don, Conn.,, master of the steam yacht
Viking, Deer Isle man, has been granted
q patent on an instrument to be used in
connection with the mariners compass
for the purpose of sighting moving OBJ
ject at sea and recording automatically
its true bearing on the compass. Prior to
securing patent, Capt. Haskell, nsvi-
gator and ship master of extensive ex-
perience. tested out his course marker
and finder in actual service, and found
that under all conditions when a moving
object was sighted through the finder,
the needle provided for that purpose re-
corded the bearing Of the object accurately.
Further, Capt. Haskell found that when
the object was sighted a second time, the
observer having the course of his own yes
sci in mind, could determine at once the
probability or possibility of the course if
neither vessel changed.
1t often happens that two different
courses are to be kept in mind at the same
time. In such cases the s'range finder"
which Capt. Haskell has been working to
perfect proves invaluable, for it can be set
to record not only the course being
steered but the one on which the vessel
will next be placed and so eliminate in q
large measure the posi- hility of courses
being misunderstood.
The Haskell marker and finders simple
design, accuracy OF results, inexpensive
cost and lack of cumbersomeness in at
tachment to a pinnacle top render it q
valuable accessory to the navigator's
bridge. 1t is practical ana useful addi-
tion to any set OF nautical instruments on
steamers whose owners believe in the
safety-first policy.
Among the few OF Capt. Haskell's most
intimate friends, most OF whom are ship
mates, saiImasters and navigators and who
have seen the course marker and finder, it
Is the unanimous opinion that the inven-
tion will be well received by everyone in
terested in the navigation Of steam yes
sells. Patents have already been applied
for in Europe, and agencies are being
formed for securing patents in all parts
Of the world.

should be so far segregated from the
rest of the state with the consequent
result of sectional dissatisfaction and
strife especially in view of the ex-
tremely rich section of country which
divides the two sections of the state.
In report submitted to Governor
Alexander by E A. Paddock of
Weiser, member of the north and
south railroad commission, the state
ment is made that this road is en-
tirely practicable as far as the work
of construction is concerned, and that
the cost per mile will not be excess
i've; that such a road will open to
settlement a large tract of good
ranch and grazing land, as we'll as
develop mineral lands and result in
building up the numbering industry.
A further recommendation is made

In a Social Way
Announce Approaching Marriage.

A most unique and memorable So
cial event was that given by Miss Mar
vel Ramey at her lovely home in the
Nezperce Acre Tracts last Friday ev-
ening, Oct, 20.
| At this Hallowe' en- season one ex-
poets surprises, weird tales and fortune
telling, but the news Miss Ramey had
awaiting her guests was such as one
seldom gives but once in lifetime.
Upon their arrival the guests were
asked to write dream. After which
Miss Anna Paige, disguised as fortune
teller, interpreted these dreams in a
most amusing manner. Other games
and features filled the evening with
mirth and happiness; but the crowning
denouement unfolded secret for some
time safely hidden in the heart of the
hostess; secret, the naturalization of
which Dan Cupid is mainly responsible
for, and whose piercing arrow Miss
Ramey has allowed herself to become
victim.
A well filled bag was brought before
the assemblage and when upturned,
out sprang white cat decorated with
blue ribbons and bearing upon its back
the message, Marvel A. Ramey and
Day A. Linder. November 25."
Silence held the onlookers spell
bound for an instant, and then, with
one accord, they showered congratula-
tions and good wishes upon the happy
hostess; however, these were mingled
with expressions Of regret at the pros
pect of losing an associate SO popular
and beloved.
The guests then enjoyed an elegant
two-cour luncheon, served by the
hostess and her sister, Miss Lois;
whereat an individual favor was found
at each plate in the form Of tiny
pumpking, and in these was slip OF
paper with an inscription of the we'd
ding announcement.
Gay was the Ramey home until a
late hour, when all departed much the
wiser and happier.

Strikes Sand Mine,
as Good as Gold.
c. W. Booth Opens Six-FoOt Vein Near Nez-

Problem.

1t may sound little odd but
sand mine has been discovered by
c. w. Booth on his place at the
western limits of Nezperce that
promises richer returns than many a
real gold mine has turned out.
The bed of sand forms 6-foot
strata about seven feet under the
surface of hill along the side of
which is small draw, through which
considerable water runs during the
wet season. 1t was in this draw that
the first signs of the sand were no.
ticed. M. T. Hartnett and son,
P. T., both extensively experienced
in masonry work, have been develop
ing the mine during the past ten days
and they maintain that there is evil
dence of an ample supply of the sand
to meet all building demands of this
section.
Tests have shown the quality of
the find to be Al for all practical
purposes, though mixture of more
or less clay will require a washing
process where the sand is to be used
for finer building purposes. How
ever, at this, it is figured the mines
product can be had locally at little
more than half the cost of imported
sand, and still yield the owner fair
margin. It is what experts term
silica sand; is sharp and flinty and
free from mica which obtains to such
an extent in much of the sand of the
section as to make it infer
ior for building purposes.
Until this discovery it has been
necessary for Nezperce to import its
sand from river points, and the ex-
pensive haul up the mountain made
It cost the consumer around 81 or
more per yard. This condition has
naturally tended to retard building
operations here where sand was re-
luired, and Mr.. Booths lucky strike
is, therefore, looked upon as
mighty good thing for the entire
