REVOLUTION TRIUMPH FOR
 ENTENTE VIEW IN LONDON

LONDON, March 30.-The Russian revolution is commented upon edito- rially here with enthusiasm. mainly as a great triumph for the entente and a great disaster for the central powers. The press describes it as the death of German hopes.
 Pity ana sympathy are expressed for the emperor. of whom the worst said is that he lacks intellectual and moral strength. Tributes are paid to his generous and lovable disposi- tion and his ardent desire to serve his people, which his abdication is described as an act of unselfish pa triotism, which it is hoped has saved his country from civil war and Pet rograd from anarchy. /

MOOSE PLANNING
 NEW BUILDING
WILL BE THE FINEST IN TOWN
Enthusiastic Meeting Held Last Night and Plans for Building and Financing the Proposition Are Dis cussed at Length.

The Semi-annual election of of ficers of the Moose Lodge was held last night, resulting in the election of the following officers: Ruling Spirit, John Roseen; Spirit of the Winds, Hilliard Bennett Tena , Chief, Harlan Keesler; Guide. Tom Selby; Guard, A. G. Johnson; Keep CT of the Wa Wa, P. E. Peterson.
 The meeting was largely attended and the matter, which has long been contemplated, of building a new hall, was taken up with enthusiasm. Plans were tentatively made for the erec- tion of a two-story and basement building 35x5O feet to replace the present log structure, the basement being fitted with shower baths and lockers. The ground floor will be fitted up as museum, and the valu- able collection now owned by the lodge will be arranged systematically and displayed to the best advantage. The upper floor will contain the club room, library, pool and billiard tables and other amusement devices.
 For the present the dance hall will remain as it is, but later it is planned to construct another hall 35x7O feet, with balcony on all sides, and high ceilings. making it suitable for basket ball, indoor base ball and similar games.
 Estimates have been secured as to the cost of the proposed improve ments and a committee on finances was appointed to devise plans for raising the necessary funds for carry ing them out.

On last Thursday Mr.. Nathan Muir

years old, and to show their love and
esteem for him, one hundred and fifty
people composed of his kin and neigh

baskets bountifully filled with the
subStantials and delicacies that appeal
to appetite. The surprise party be-
gan to assemble on his beautiful lawn
about nine o'clock and hearty hand

ored and social conversation engrossed
the time till the noon hour. A table
full so feet long and four wide was
erected in an inviting shade, and the
baskets we're unloaded, presenting the
appearance of an old time Sunday
School picnic. After thanks were re-
turned to the Giver of All Good, each
and every one present enjoyed the
feast to the fullest extent. After the
table had been cleared nearly as much
was returned to the baskets as had
been consumed. At this hour some
soul-stirring songs were sung by a
large number of good singers. Mr..
Murrell read scripture lesson we'll

and invoked the richest blessings on

His goodness and mercies, and ex-
pressed his hearty appreciation to all

This home was established in 1877
by Mr.. Murrell's paternal grandfather,
and this, the first surprise birthday
party ever given there, carried with IL
the genuine spirit of as high esteem as
possible to be manifested by any fam
lily or people. By actual count one
hundred and fifty were present, max
ing the list too long to call each by
name, but we mention this fact only;
Mr.. Duke order was present and it
was his birthday as web, he being

our best citizens-a man highly es-
teemed by the many who know him.

The Institute.

The teachers of Adair county are
loud in their praise of the institute
held last week, Conducted by Prof.
McDougle, of Richmond. He isan ex-
perienced educator and the methods
NE advanced will doubtless prove of
lasting benefit. He was here one
year ago, as the instructor, and the
demand for his return was unanimous.
His ideas are given in a clear and
forcible manner, showing that he is
very much interested in the work OF
the common school teachers. We dc
not know who will conduct the insti
tute next year, but we are satisfied nc
one could give better satisfaction
than Prof. McDougle. He is an ele
CANT Christian gentleman, and hi;
second visit to Columbia will not soor
be forgotten.

the best interest of the government of
the county of Adair at heart.
