to have this engine also arranged no
that it will turn the washing machine

strain and work of running them
herself. The wash room is in the
basement also and it is fitted up in
splended shape for the work.

From its commanding position one

for miles and no better situation
fould have been chosen for the buifd

fine and artistic fence of square
pickets Mantling high ami of tasteful
and closets galore. The parlor faces
to the south and is a large room,
superbly finished in what is known
as .Mission oak, with a floor of red
oak, a room at once tasty and pleas
ing to the eye. It is also lighted
brilliantly by large, single glass win
dows which let in a great amount of
! light. Hut one of the finest pieces of these good people are situated

partner It. II. Patton.
The bed room is a very largt
roomy one and also quite handsomely
finished. It is also handsomely fur
uishf-d and is quite homelike.
The stairs leading to the uppc-
floor are grained in .Mission oak fin
ish, also a nice piece of work.
The upper floor contains largt
roomy -bed rooms, all of them finely
finished and handsome with hot air
registers everywhere, rooms- fit for
the gods. There is also a handsome
linen room upon this floor.
Then there is the attic, an ideal
room for rainy days, large and lofty,
which can easily be turned into two
handsome rooms when needed.
1 lie cniua closet, which was ne
glected above, stands between the
dining room and the kitchen opening
into both and is a fine piece of work.
It is very handy and convenient.

The new building is a fine testi

It is at once a great and worthy mon

may they be proud of it.

rail about it.
The foundation of the structure is
of reinforced concrete, several feet
thick with a four inch air chamber
making it frost proof. The entire
basement is used for various pur
pose. There is a cellar loaded with
the store of winter foods and on one
xid-- of the cellar is a large frame case
Tor canned fruits. A look inside this
case makes one's mouth water for
Mrs. Horn has stored it to the brim
with bottles and cans of every sort
of fruit, seemingly enough to feed a
nation. The heating plant is also in
the cellar and it consists of a line
Campbell hot air furnace so fitted
that hot water can also be supplied
if necessary. Two large tanks for
water stand in another part of the
collar, these being kept filled from
land cold water and finelv nickeled

! There is a fine range set along the
wall with hot water tank for im
mediate use. Then there is a pantry
which is simply one of the finest ar
rangements of the kind in existence.
Mrs. Horn cannot help but feel proud
of it for it is so arranged that every
thing is at her finger ends. There
is a place for everything and it is a
Girthtlay Surprise Party.

the plan is entirely Mrs. Horn's and
it is right in every way. There is a

which is so arranged that coats, hats,
wraps and overshoes may be left

A Highly Interesting and Successful
, Session and Large Attendance.
The Gass County Sunday School
convention held at Weeping Water
Monday and Tuesday closed last
niglit after a highly interesting and
successful session. At the opening
of the convention the attendant!
numbered about one hundred title-
gates, officers and teat hers. Several
of the prominent members of the t on
vention were from this city including
Uev. A. A. Kandall, who delivered
a powerful and eloquent disooursi
on the saloon question in politics.
Hev. J. II. Salsbury, who did ninth
active work at the convention and
Cliff C. Wescott, whose activities

were very marked, while .Mrs. II. K

s had been outlined in this paper
before, the program came off without
a tntcii. j here was a very long pro
gram of many interesting tilings for
the first day, one of the most import
ant of which was the several ad
dresses upon the practical side of
Sunday school management bv C. I).
Meigs of Indianapolis, Intl., and Paul
S. Deitrick of Lincoln. All of them
were excellent and filled with sound
practical reasoning and instructive
to the many teachers and delegates in
attendance.
The choice of officers of the asso
ciation was as follows: Charles K.
N'oyes, president; C. G. Wescott, vict
president; Geo. L. Farley, secretary;
las.Stander, treasurer; liev. A. A.
Kandall. superintendent temperance
lepartment; Miss Olga Xeitzel, su
perintendent of primary department;
Rev. J. H. Salsbury, superintendent
pastor's department; Miss Elizabeth
Chapman, teachers' training.
The next place of meeting was fixed
Elmwood and the time as next
fall, the exact date to be determined
later.
Rev. A. A. Randall of this city yes
terday delivered an address upon the
saloon in politics, in which he bitter
ly arraigned the liquor interests for
their alleged activities and their ad
vocacy of different candidates for of
fice. The methods which they use
to secure victory in the election also
came in for a scoring at his hands
and his remedy for the evils which he
complained of was the adoption of
prohibition.
A resolution pledging the members
of the convention to county option
and ultimate prohibition was unani
mously adopted. The resolution is
as follows:
"We, the members of this conven
tion do hereby desire to go on record
as emphatically pledged to county
option and all other good measures
looking toward the hastening of
state and national prohibition, and
we will always support the men whom
we know to be pledged to the same."

More Than Enough is Too Much.
To maintain health, a nature man or
woman needs just enough food to re
pair the waste and supply energy and
body heat. The habitual consumption
of more food than is necessary for these
purposes is the prime cause of stomach
troubles, rheumatism and disorders of
the kidneys. If troubled with indiges
tion, revise your diet, let reason and
not appetite control and take a few
doses of Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets and you will soon be all
r;ght again. For sale by F. G. Fricke
