RICHARDS WAS NOT TO BLAME. Gives His Side of the Recent Fistic Encounter. William Richards, whose name was mentioned as one of the participant# in a fistic encounter, called last evening and told his version of the trouble. Mr. Richards has lived in this communty all his life, ts an industrious, straightforward and upright citizen, whose statements we thoroughly believe. He says he was not trying to keep Sprunger and his wife apart, but instead was doing all in his power to induce them to live together. Mrs. Sprunger had lived at the Richards home eight days and Sprunger flatly refused to take care of her and their little blind baby. When Richards insisted he should, Zack jumped from his buggy and struck him in the left eye. In the mixup that followed Sprunger was glad to promise that he would care for his family. Richards paid his fine to avoid calling his neighbors in court as witnesses, though t he says he could have easily have proven that he was blameless in the entire affair. o K. OF P. DEGREE WORK. Conferred at Last Meeting—More to Follow. The first and second rank work done at the K. P. hall Thursday night was witnessed by a large assemblage and the members of the degree staff acquitted themselves grandly in the initiatory work. Every chair in the hall was occupied when the meeting was called to order and after business routine an elaborate banquet was served. Next Thursday night third rank work will be conferred and every lodge member. especially the third degree team, are urgently requested to be present. The K. of P, lodge is in excellent con dition and many new members have been taken in during the recent months. We are informed that there will be degree work at each meeting for weeks and a glorious time is anticipated. Each member of this order should be present at all the meetings if possible and assist in advancing the interest? of the organizaiton. THE GUARANTEED DANDRUFF CURE.

ARE SEEING MEXICO (Continued on page 3.) show their age, for they are worm eaten and are fringed by time for nearly eighteen inches from the floor. The upper part of each door seems ; solid. The key stands in the loek all day and is at least 12 inehes long : The fleor is paved with square red ‘ tiles, the joists over head are exposed and of cedar and about 25 feet up to I them. The walls are cement and very thick. This is the passage way into the house, about fifteen feet wide and a sample of the entire house. We go down another long similar passage at right angles to this, across the patio, across another room that is curious, out into a court, into another wide passageway, and Into another court; another similar passage into our own particular court. There is still another passage at right angles into which one of our double doors opened beyond which is another court. On all these courts rooms open. But our room has two sets of double doors, and practically two courts. The front court in which we usually sit. has immense banana trees, a bread fruit tree mango, the fruit of which is still green, and other trees and fruits and flowers. In this court is the only fountain in the hotel and we hear the trickling of its waters day and night. In this court we receive the golden sunshine through the broad green leaves, and the moon at night pours a flood of glorious light. The days are fine. We go somewhere every morning and usually wind up at one of the parks usually the Llano, a beautiful park with immense cedars six and eight feet in diameter; orange, banana, grape fruit, pomegranates, roses, bougainvillia, palms, fountains everything you can think of in great profusion of bloom and fruit. Certain times one of the fine state bands gives a concert here and then you see the elite of the city. Thursday and Sunday are the evenings. Almost every evening we walk over to the Plaza de Armas in front of the cathedral and sit till ten o’clock. It is only a little over a square from here. The street scenes here are so interesting. Such queer costumes. Some of these Indians dress the strangest I ever saw. The market is a sight for sure. Not only the fruits and flowers but the articles for sale and the peoples. Then on the street. Oxen only are used for labor. Immense wooden w-heels that look as if they were cut by hand out of a log. and a wide tire put on. The bed of the wagon is made by poles being put upright around the bed of the cart and then a straw mat fastened around the poles. In this they haul sand, lime or anything. The top when they have one is made of bent poles, and straw mats hung over them. The yoke is always fastened to the oxen’s horns, never any on the neck. The water carriers are curious, too. They are seen all over Mexico. Every town of any size has a fountain. The larger the town the more fountains for public use. Here the water used in the homes is carried in earthen jars on the head of women, or in panniers on donkeys, by men. Farther north they also use square tin cans, each holding about two gallons of water, usually hang ing by a rope, to a yoke, carried on a man's shoulders, the cans balancing each other. But the farther south you go, the more picturesque everything becomes. The poor people carry their own water, the better class buy theirs from the carriers. All the cities have a splendid water system, and the best houses have the water in them. The water always comes from the mountains which are always in sight somewhere. This is a very old city, and was a large city when Cortez came in 1500 and something, forget which was made Marquis of Oaxaca in 1529, and of course he had a palace here, and one a few miles in the country. In 1538 the Bishopric of Oaxaca was established and the cathedral commenced in 1553. Its walls begun ‘ in 1610, and was 120 years in building and cost two million dollars. It is very large, and has seven chapels on each side of the large nave. We went in it frequently. The Church of Santo Domingo is very interesting, not only for its peculiar beauty, but for its history, which is connected very much with the history of the republic. At one time it was said to be the finest in Mexico. The life size figures of the saints were in relief and covered with gold and so were the walls. But during one of the revolutions soldiers quartered in the adjoining convent, scraped most of the gold off. But it has since been restored, it is said, at a cost of 13 million dollars, which if true makes it the most costly church building on this continent. The ceiling is saints life size, in relief, with golden robes and golden, medallions. It cannot be described by pen. I have seen fire churches everywhere but never anything like this church, either for unique design or lavish expenditure of gold. I will have to tell you about It when I come home. I think I sent you a card showing a part of the ceil-

i ing. We went to see La Soledad an other old church. The patron saint ol i Oaxaca is the Virgin of La Soledad I Some ladies we met said they wanted I us to see the robes of the Virgin and her crown. That a black velvet robe 1 the virgin has is worth several million j I think they said. I forget. They would get permission from the archbishop. He keeps it in his palace, although. rhe people think it is in the church, of La Soledad. The virgin has 1,300 rings, diamonds, emeralds, rubies, etc. The wonderful robe is embroidered in pearls and precious i stones. The young ladies are grand nieces of an archbishop in Cinnati. The next time we saw- the ladies which was in a couple days, they said the bishop had gone to Bilboa, Spain, the < day before and the robe w-as locked |in his palace and he had taken the . key to the chest or wardrobe whatever it is. They regretted very much not being able to show it to us, and we regretted not seeing the wonderful | robe as very few people get to see it. jWe saw the image of the Virgin in a ' glass case on the high altar in the church, wearing a perfectly plain black velvet robe. She is said to be “the wealthiest virgin in the world.” I notice the bishops and archbishops are very fond of going to Spain. We have been in several cities where they told us “the bisbop has gone to Spain.” There are other interesting churches that I have not time to mention. I must say that Porfirio Diaz, the present president of Mexico was born here, as well as their first president, Benito Juarez, two great men who have done great things for their country. One day we went to Monte Alban, four or five miles from the city. We were to start at half past six in the morning. Paul Wooten and Hugh Hite invited us. They came with a carriage, and the drive jn the early morning was delightful. The driver went as far up the mountain as he could, then we had to walk or rather climb. A prehistoric city on top of the mountains rewarded us for our climb. The masonry is as solid as thought made yesterday. But I will have to wait and tell you. Miss B and 1 had an engagement at eleven to go with some ladies to visit a school of embroidery, we had a luncheon for half past one, so we had to hurry. We did not get back till half past twelve, and therefore missed our half past eleven engagement. We had to cool off and dress and be ready for our guests, six, by half past one. We just made it. At five we were invited to a tea so the day was full. But every day is full. After I send this letter I will think of so, many things I wanted to say. Another day a party of us went up the mountain in another direction to the headwaters of the city’s water supply, an aqueduct in use when Cortez came and still in use. Some of the streets the sewers are open and run through the middle of the streets, water from this aqueduct running thrdhgh them. But they say a contract has been given to make sewers within the next two years, and this will be done away with. But I must close. I will write to Matie in a few days. I wish I had time to write as long again letter. I would not exhaust the interesting things in Oaxaca or Mexico. It seems to me this is the ideal place for any one with throat or lung trouble. It is perpetual sunshine 5,000 feet above sea level. But it is so late I must ' close. With much love to all, Elizabeth Morrison. o — ’
