ing at the Scenic for the purpose Of

chairman and R. F. Taylor secretary
Q. s. Sampson was elected precinct
committeeman to hold until the Sep
tember primary.
The meeting was called for 7:30

and stated the object of the meeting
there were not many Leavenworth
people present; but they came in
groups until a considerable number
was present.

made short talks on the object of the
organization and Mrs. Thayer spoke
on what the ladies We're doing to as

ized to forward Mr.. Gellatly's can
paign.
The chairman was authorized to
appoint an executive committee and
in this way outline the work of tic
club. Members can join at any time
by seeing either the chairman or sec
retary.
There has been a lot of sentiment
throughout this city and vicinity ia
vorabe to Mr. Gellatly's candidacg
for the governorship and it is con
sidered the duty of his friends 10
do all they can to crystalize this SEN
timent and add to it. This Is thought
to be the opportune time for the east
ern part of the state to get busy if II
wants to ever elect a governor. In
the past our governors and most
state officers have come from the
coast section and a change i thought
to be desirable.

Young Man Run Over

Dies the Same Dav

Hiram B. Maynan, about twenty
years of age, was run over and ter
ribly cut up in the Leavenworth yards
last Saturday morhing and died at
1873 the same orning at the hos

that Maynan and two otht young
men-one Gustaf Gustafson and one
Olson, both of St Cloud Minn.-had
boarded the engine of train No.
and ridden here from Seattle. They
had fallen asleep and did not awaken
until some time after the train arriv-
ed here-that is, not until the engine
had been uncoupled, another took its
place, and the engine they were on
started to back down to the round
house. Gustafson then woke up and
discovered that the engine had been
cut off from the train and he awaken
ed the others and himself started to
climb down, and while doing so saw
Maynan fall under the wheels of the
the tender as it was backed up. It
appears that Maynan, upon awaking,
hurriedly climbed down at the back
of the teder and dropped to the track
and was instantly knocked down. He
was dragged about forty feet, both

SHOWER LUNCHEON.

Saturday of last week the r. B.
Field home was the scene of a very
festive occasion, when Mesdames
Rutherford and Field entertained at a
one-thirty o'clock shower luncheon in
honor of Miss Lillian Grue. a pros
pective June bride.
As the guests gathered they We're
seated temporarily on the sunny
porch, which had been decorated
with huge baskets and pots of yellow
daises.
After the arrival of all guests, the
living-room doors were thrown open
and beautiful sight greeted the eye.
Long tables had been placed across
the living and dining room and over
head, directly above the two extreme
ends, were suspended from chande-
liers, festoons of delicately colored
crepe paper terminating at each
guests place, and so arranged as to
represent May poles.
Centrally arranged between the
long tables was a smaller round
table, over which hung large green
bell. The centerpece was a Kewpie
in bridal array and the decorations
were foliage and peach blossoms. At
this table were seated the brides, the
brides-to- and the brides mother
Mrs. Gl'ue, of Bellingham.
A most delicious four-course lunch
con was served, after which each of
the guests was instructed to pull
her festoon, resulting in shower
of parcels from overhead, so arranged
as to have been invisible to the eye
The parcels contained material foI
tea towels stamped and furnished
with needle, thread and thimble to
work the design imprinted thereon
The bride-to-be, meanwhile was told
to pull the ribbon attached to the bell
over her table, and she also was i'm
mediately showered with parcels II

card fell before her astonished gaze
bearing the inscription June" ana

the gathering. Linen, china, cut

of honor, who expressed herself as
astounded and bewildered, she think
ing herself merely zone of the guests
at May luncheon.

Think This Over

How often do we not read in the
daily press of persons dying sud
denly who were not suspected even
of being in bad health, or learn that
a friend whom we had met within
day or two apparently in perfect
health is suddenly stricken With
serious illness!
Yet this is not so strange whe I
we consider that many diseases are
so inidiouS in their onset that the
damage to vital organs goes on with
out warning until the breaking point
comes and with it grave illness or
even sudden death. -
How much better than waiting TOT
serious symptoms, it would be to
have a careful medical examination
made, say at least once year, IN Or
der that we may feel assured that
we are not living in state of false
security? If a thorough exam1natlon
reveals that we ara normal, that
knowledge alone is worth the trouble
and small expense involved; and If
it should reveal that we have some
abnormal condition, surely such
knowledge is vital to us, that we
may have the advantage of proper
treatment while there is yet time.
to say nothing Of the saving of eX-
pense and lost time that would IN
eVitably come later.
