They have been tested by all the arts, and their bravery is unquestioned. Our citizenship, without regard to church or creed, joins with them in welcoming to our fair city the many visiting Knights, and as we welcome them we want also to congratulate the membership of Keklonga Lodge, No. 65, and to wish for them many years of happiness in their magnificent home —one of the most beautiful in the city. The few braves who have borne the burdens, laid the plans and made possible what for many years has been but an idle dream, are perhaps entitled to a few additional roses but nevertheless the entire membership—now two hundred strong—deserve all the praise that human breath and printer's ink can bestow. It is given, and given ' freely, by a citizenship composed of i the salt of the earth and who believe ■ in the sacred principles of Knight-hood-Friendship, Charity and Benev- , olence. ;

WANT IT [RENEWED Traction People at Portland to Renew Franchise Which Expired. TO DECIDE TONIGHT Say They Have Money Ar- . ranged to Complete Line . South From Here. William H. Fledderjohann of Decatur, president of the Fort Wayne & Springfield Traction company and Attorney Koenig of St. Marys, Ohio, chief counsel for the company, were in this city Monday and that evening with E. E. McGriff, the local representative of the company, appeared before the city council and asked that the franchise be renewed, giving the company the privilege to use certain streets in this city over which to construct their line when the road is extended from its present terminus at Decatur to this city. The franchise given the company by a former city council provided that if the road was not completed to this city within three years fro mthe date the franchise was granted it should become null and void. The time limit has long since expired. According to the representatives of the company no subsidy or bonus will be asked to construct the line to this city as the company has now arrangements completed whereby they cen secure sufficient financial assistance to carry on the work and if all franchises and other privileges are properly arranged before hand, work on the extension of the line will be begun early in the spring. In order to secure the financial aid now under negotiation the companymust have all franchises in the Chicago offices of the financial backers by Warch Ist, so that the bonds can be issued on that date. The city council will meet in special session Thursday night when the representatives of the traction line will be in the city again and the matter will be decided.—Portland DailySun.

ADD NEW CABINETS Teeple, Brandyberry & Peterson are Making a Splendid Improvement TO CLOTHING STORE Clothes Will be Kept in Latest Dust Proof Cabinets of Solid Oak. Teeple, Brandyberry & Teeple, the well known clothiers, are certainly up-to-the-minute and their beautiful store will show it after the improvements now being added are complete. They are today installing the latest clothing cabinets, wherein will be kept all their suits, thus enabling them to show with much more ease and to| much better advantage. The cabinets < are now in use in the large stores in the cities and have proven a valuable addition to each. They do away with the old style of keeping the clothing on tables, exposed to dust and continually needing pressing. There are six -cabinets, each of which will hold a large number of suits, which are hung just as they are in your clothes closet at home. The cabinets are absolutely dust proof and the clerk is enabled to show his customer in an instant just what he is looking for. The arrangement also gives much more floor space and enables the clothiers to handle customers in a manner satisfactory to all concerned. The cases are of solid oak with glass doors in front, thus putting every suit always on display and not buried beneath a stack of clothing. You are invited to call and see the cabinets and inspect the spring goods.

Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 17—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Minnesota and the northwest is in the grip of another cold wave, with the thermometer below zero, and all trains running on an average of twelve hours off schedule, both from the east and west. Business and especially railroad business, is practically suspended. The North Pacific trains have been unable to reach the coast. (United Press Service.) Washington, D. C., Feb. 17—(Special to Daily Democrat)—“Shall we have a caucus to decide whether the house shall investigate the present high cost of living?” Speaker Cannon today has been aski..g this question, and the sentiment among the leaders seems to be in favor of the caucus. The resolution from the committee on ways and means, providing that the committee should conduct an investigation, is now with the committee on rules and a report from the latter is subject to amendment that might revise the Cannon rule and put the speaker off of the committee on rules aud substitute an insurgent for the present session.

THE SOCIAL NOTES Farewell Patry Given for the Lewton Children by the School Mates. SHAKESPEARE CLUB Was Entertained by Mrs. Tyndall—Helping Hand Society Meets. True Knighthood ever has the day. What a parallel we may draw from the dedication poem of Sir Alfred Tennyson, in which he dedicates his matchless poems, ’The Idylls of the King," to the memory of the good King Arthur, the truest of knights: The dedication poem in part: These to His memory—since he held them dear, Perchance as finding ther unconconsciously Some image of himself —I dedicate, I dedicate, I consecrate with tears — These Idyjls. And indeed he seems to me Scarce other than my own ideal knight. Who reverenced his conscience as his king, Whose glory was redressing human wrong. Who spoke no slander, no, nor listened to it. Who loved one only and who clave to her—. How modest, kindly, all accomplish'd, wise, With what sublime repression of himself. And in what limits and how tenderly, Not swaying to this faction or to that; Not making his high place the lawless perch Os wing'd ambitions, nor a vantage ground For pleasure; but tho’ all this tract of years, Wearing the white flower of a blameless life. Before a thousand peering littlenesses.

The Shakespeare club enjoyed a most delightful meeting Wednesday afternoon with Mrs. J. W. Tyndall. After the study of the lesson a social time was indulged in, and an amusing little contest, Mrs. Hooper winning the honors. A delicious luncheon completed the entertainment. The many Decatur friends of Mrs. Jennie Fuhrman will be delighted to greet her in the following club mention from the Marion (O.) Star: "Monday was the guest day for the Research club and one of the most enjoyable events in the history of the club. "Mrs. W. T. Jones threw open her home on East Church street for this occasion, and over fifty gathered for the afternoon's pleasure. Red hearts w-ere used in profusion about the rooms, ropes of them almost hiding the ceiling fjpm view, as they swung from the chandeliers to the walls of the rooms. The program was opened with roll call quotations from a German author and his name. In a description of “German Art,” Mrs. C. H. Winans not being present to give her paper, Mrs. Chauncey Fuhrman supplied in her stead, Mrs. Fuhrman appeared before the assembled company of women in a costume representing Samantha Allen, and gave a fine description of the European tour Josiah Allen and herself made, and of the sights in the art galleries of those countries. This unique deviation from the regular papers w r as a delightful novelty and Mrs. Fuhrman won considerable applause. “Sculpture in Germany,” a paper by Mrs. AV. T. Jones, was splendidly rendered and very good. Mrs. Frank Sifritt gave a paper on ’Germany's Art China," which was well received. “The Watch on tho Rhine” was beautifully sung by Mrs. H. L. Frank, and was followed by an excellent reading, “Nuremberg,” from Longfellow, by Mrs. J. V. Wilson, which closed the program. “The remaining hours were given to informalites and visiting. A buffet Inucheon was served and clusters of tiny red hearts, tied with red ribbon, were given as favors. During the luncheon hour Miss Frances Frye gave a couple of recitations and Mir" Freda Rhodes presided at the piano. The hostess was assisted during the serving by Mrs. R. E. Amann and Mrs. Edson Bush. The guests of the club were Mrs. Ida Jones of Portland, Oregon; Mrs. A. B. Lawson, Mrs. S. S. Burgess, Mrs. Clyde G. Raymor, Mrs. J. N. Campbell, Mrs. J. S. Kilbury, Mrs. Frank Cunningham, Mrs. E. H. Bindley, Mrs. Jay Spaulding, Mrs. Ralph A. Young, Mrs. David Rexroth, Mrs. F. R. Mann,
