THE VALUE OF A GRANGE A subordinate grange is the most practical and the most natural means of promoting all the interests of a rural community ever couceived in the history of the world, for the follow ing reasons: I. it contributes to the social life by frequent regular meetings in which the art of sociability is so agreeably and informally taught as to fascinate rather than repel those participating in the exercises. 9. It contributes to the high moral standard by affording convenient and agreeable society for old and young in which the highest standard of morality Is maintained, thereby preventing as sociation of its members in society ot the opposite nature. 8 It contributes to the happiness of home by the mental recreation afforded all members of the family in the var ious Grange gatherings atteuded, there by broadening their mental vision aud increasing their happiness, which is sure to be reflected in their home life. 4. It contributes to the material prosperity by its discussion of all mat ters of importance tending to local de velopment, and often is instrumental in securing the establishment of in dustries that give added population as well as taxable property, thereby in directly aiding every taxpayer in town. 6. It contributes to the general in telligence of the inhabitants by its frequent discussion of questions of a public nature aud by the educating in fluences of other exercises, resulting in mental development and a more in telligent citizenship, which is an up lifting force in any town. <5. It contributes to the general wel fare by dissipating neighborhood quar rels, by breaking up long standing feuds caused by church, school, or society troubles, by promoting better roads, better schools, and better farm ing, by stimulating more interest in public affairs, resulting in the elec tion of better men to office and better enforcement of law as well as the bet ter transaction of the public business of towns, counties aud states. 7. A subordinate Grange contrib utes in many ways to the upbuild ing of a roral community by making it a more desirable place to live and making its citizens more intelligent, more prosperous, and more happy.

Every hour adds to tbe aw ful loss of Hfe and other horrors attendant upon Monday's awful storm at Heppuer, Ore., when a wall of water 20 feet high swept down upon the little town. Tbe storm illustrates the powerful in fluence of hills in quickly arresting a summer whirlwind, so that the raiu accumulated iu its dense, high clouds is suddenly precipitated in vast quanti ties Heppner lies about thirty miles from a range of hills over which Sun day evening's storm was apparently passing when tbe mighty masses of water descended upou its slopes and rushed down tbe bed of a little creek upon the unsuspecting town In selecting the sites of many of the west and Northwestern towns the na tural tendency has been to build on the low lands because of a close proximity to the rivers aud creeks for many con venient purposes, water handy, for drainage purposes and possibly as a needy means of travel Streets are easier laid out and walking is better. But the disadvantages come at flood time and these disadvantages grow as time rolls on because of the destruc tion of the forests. The snuffing out so many hundreds of lives is an awful calamity and much distress and suffering will he entailed, but uot so much as that caused by one of tbe periodic mine disasters in East *ru Pennsylvania In the latter case it is the bread winners who are killed leaving hundreds of dependant behind but iu the Heppner calamity whole families were drowned out and few left behiud. Tl le Northwest will lie able to meet the trouble and render all oecessaiy aid and comfort and if not tbe generous east will readily respond wheu called upou. Balloon Landed Near Buckhorn.

(Siguedj EIJWARI) BEAGLE., INTO AN UNKNOWN S GRAVE The stranger who committed suicide ill this place on Friday morning by cutting her throat was not Mrs. F. L. Fagin, of Athens, 0., as some suppos ed. A telegram was received late Satur day afternoon from that missing wo man's husband that read substantially as follows: " Please send description and il if tallies with the following description, 1 will come at once. The woman 1 am looking for had small pox mark on nose, short thick hands, short thick ankles, wears No. 7 shoes, has gray streaked hair. Did she have a satchel with picture of little boy in it?" This description, of course, did not tally in any way with the appearance of the dead woman here and addition : al messages received yesterday only served to confirm the fact that, who ever she might be, the Gettysburg suicide was certaiuly not Mrs. Fagin. And so that theory is definitely dis posed of. The trained nurse theory which con nects the woman with the stranger who has been traveling the state im posing upon clergymen and doctors, and whose description so far as it has been obtainable here seems to agree with that of the suicide, is now being investigated and will be established or disproved within a day or two. At 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon the ! remains of the unknown were quietly interred in the Catholic Cemetery,the services at the grave consisting of a simple prayer by Rev. T. J. Crotty. The funeral cortege from the church to the burial ground included but the hearse and a single cab. There were few witnesses of the interment outside of Father Crotty,Undertaker Garlach, and the four pall-bearers, J. Harry Holtzworth, Fred Thorn, J. Frank Wisotzkey and Edward Crotty. The dead woman could not possibly have wished for a more peaceful funeral, oue more free from curious eyes and comment. And so she was buried, still unknown, as she desired.—Gettysburg Progress.

MILTON, Pa., June 17.—Fire caus ed by lightning entirely destroyed the large barn on the Heinen's farm about a mile and a quarter northeast of this place Tuesday afternoon about 3 ::$o o'clock together with all the contents including 25 head of cows and a large quantity of grain. The farm is occupied by Bert Hill. At the approach of the storm Mr. Hill and the farm hands drove the cattle into the barn from the pasture fields. The structure had three large cupolas or air-chambers on top and the light ning struck the brass weather vane on the middle oue and passed down into the building, setting tire to the upper story. During a heavy thunder storm at Tuesday afternoon a bolt ol liglitdiug struck the high spire of the First Presbyterian church at Watson town. It was completely shattered and ruined. The damage, which is considerable, is covered by insurance. The spire will be rebuilt at once.

There are business men with antiquated ideas, running business by the water which has passed. They do not cut expenses with a lancet. They practice economy with a broad ax, and a dull one too. When business is brisk, when goods almost sell themselves, they appear progressive. When business is dull they fold their hands,thumbs in, seize a hatchet,cut and slash everybody and everything, stuke in the dark, hit the wrong thing every time, cut down ad vertising. There are business men of success, because they have made suc cess, retaining the old-fashioned opin ion that it does not pay to advertise when trade is dull or stagnant. It the merchant pushes for trade during the so-called dull season he will find com ing to his store hundreds of the neglig ent buyers' who have been waiting for him, or some one, to supply the miss ing link in their memory, suggesting the necessity which they did not re alize The dull season is as important as the flush season. This principle is a business axiom, recognized by all except the unthinking,stubborn-head ed man of business, who couuts not, for he is either going out of business or doing too small a business to bear weight for or against argument of business. Severe Storm at Lewisburg. LEWISBURG, June 17.—A severe rain, hail and wind stoim visited this section yesterday afternoon, lasting about twenty minutes.

FARMERS AND GOOD ROADS f'OHl «>f vfaulliiH I'Hrui i'rodact* Over Country liiitkHor*' The advocates of good muds will nu<J pleutT of arguments in the recent re port of the industrial commission on the marketing and distribution of farm ing products. This report shows the value of good country rouils and the Immense saving that could be effected through them. It also furnishes argu ments In favor of the construction of electric lines through the farming sec tions of the country not only for the hauling of passengers, but for the haul ing of freight. The report shows that the cost of hauling farm products over country roads Is tOO.Wiu a year, or more than the entire cost of operating all the railways in the I'nited States, says the New York Commercial Advertiser. The total operating expenses of railroads is estimated at only annual ly. The average haul to the nearest shipping station in the trans(>ortntion of farm products is twelve udles. and the average i-ost is rents a ton a mile, or $:» a ton for the twelve miles. By comparing this ton mile <-ost svlth the average ton mile revenue of the railroads in the country, which amounts to 7 mills a mile, the immense oppor tunity for saving that would !«■ effect ed through good roads may readily be seen. If farm products could be hauled to market at 7 mills a ton mile, as is ; the case with railway traffic, the en j tire charge for tran»i«>rtatlon would be less than «s compared with the S!SKMK*»,no»t it costs the farmers to j haul their products over ordinary road* The building of good roads and the construction of electric line* will mean an enormous saving to the farming classes. Some of the advocates of good roads believe that the two could be constructed jointly, as the cost would l>e proportionately less for the building of good wagon roads, which could also be used for electric railways. These electric railways could be constructed through those sections of the farming community which would offer the best possibilities in the way of freight and iwi.ssenger traffic returns, and wagon roads could be built connecting these with all sections of the country. The farmer who did not live on the direet line of an electric railway could haul his freight to the nearest point, where it could be quickly transferred to an train. Women na Jewelers. Time was, not so very far back either, when the woman of artistic talents who sought to earn her own living found i>« outlook Iteyond selling an occasional picture or giving lessons in painting. Now the artistic sphere for women has widened to include >o many depart incuts that tle-re Is almost an embar rassment of riches from which to mak« a choice. One of the latest to lie taken up by women Is the designing of artistic jew elry. In England particularly woun-n have been meeting with much success in this line, and there seems to no reason why it should not Lc more wide ly S.t.. i up.
