LODGES OFFER

TO ELKS Three Fraternal Organizations Come to Relief of Organization. K. OF P. LODGES ACTIVE. WILL TAKE TICKETS FOR THE ELKS' "DING BATTUS," THE POLO CARNIVAL, AND SELL THEM TO ASSIST ANTLERED HERD. Three local fraternal organizations, the Iola Lodge, Knights or Pythias, the Whitewater lodge, I. O. O. P. and the Eagles aerie, have offered their respective lodge rooms to the loa! lodge of Elks, whose beautiful lodge and club looms were gutted by the fire at the Colonial building last night. So generous have these offers been that the members of the Elks lodge are considerably embarrassed in the matter of making a selection. Tonight the Elks will hold their regular weekly meeting in the lodge room at. the Pythian Temple. At this meeting the lodge will take some action regarding the selection of temporary quarters pending the occupation of their new club house on North Eighth street next fall. Other matters of much importance, resulting from the fire, will be discussed. Owing to the fact that the Elks now have a big undertaking on hand, the terles of polo games to be played at the Coliseum the week of April 20, and the fact that they are now homeless, so to speak, the antlered brothers find themselves somewhat up against it. Realizing that the fire has given the local Elks trouble enough, and to make the polo "Ding Battiis" a complete success in every sense of the word, it is finite probable that when the lola lodge. Knights of Pythias, meets in special session tonight., it will decide to offer the Elks assistance in selling tickets for the event. The most healthful, uibuilding medicine known to science. Gentle and noothing to the nerves, makes digestion easy. Brings the sweet sleep of youth Hollister's Rock Mountain Tea. cents, Tea or Tablets. A. G. Luken & Co.

EVANS DISAPPOINTED Will Not Get to See the Fleet In Its Grand Review.

RESIGNED TO SITUATION. Paso Robles, Cal., April 0. Rear Admiral Evans will not rejoin the battleship fleet at San Diego or participate in any of the functions and celebrations in the ports of Southern California. That was finally determined when shortly after the departure of Lieutenant. Frank Taylor Evans for Los Angeles to meet his mother and sister, who will arrive there today. Surgeon P. E. McDonnold informed the Admiral that it would be imprudent for him to rejoin the fleet within a few days. "But I do want to go so much, doctor," said the admiral, with a look of appeal in his eyes. 'Tt's a great disappointment to mo. The people have been so kind, and I wanted to show my appreciation as best I could." "I know hnw you feel about it. Admiral, and I appreciate your feelings," replied Dr. McDonnold. "If you insist upon going, I cannot be answerable for the results. - If you will take my advice you will remain here, for you are doing so well. We will board the Connecticut at Monterey, where you can resume command and take the fleet through the Golden Gate." "Well, I am in your hands, doctor," fcaid "Fighting Bob." with a sigh of resignation. "I will submit to your judgment. Your orders will be carried out." AFTER ALL Plea of Maloneys That Helen Was Not Joined to Osborne Knocked Out. LETTER DOES WORK. New York. April . The publication of a letter from Arthur Herbert Osborne to William A. Boyd, of Mamaroneck. N. Y., the Justice of the Peace who performed the marriage ceremony ) between Osborne and Miss Helen Maloney. has resulted in the reopening of the suit for annulment of the marriage before Referee Coahalan. In the suit the hope of annulment of the marriage, or a declaration by the court that there had been no marriage, by the Maloneys, rested chiefly on the allegation that the marriage had never been consuniated and that Miss Maloney and Osborne had never lived together as man and wife. The letter to Justice Boyd from Osborne clearly disputes this theory. It was written from Pittsburg some five weeks after the marriage of Osborne and Miss Maloney in Mamaronec.k. and in it Osborne declares that he and his wife had been traveling about the country together, and were then together in Pittsburg. The publication of the letter, which, if its statements are true, places a great obstacle in the way of an annulment, of the marriage, caused great agitation among the lawyers who have teen representing Osborne and the Maloneys in the presentation of the case to the referee.

C. F. W. MARCHANT, K. of R. & and S. IN THE PERSIAN DESERT. Carloaa Way In Which Water ! Prepared For Yed. Almost in the center of Persia lies Yezd, a city of perhaps 40,000 people, on the great caravan route. It is a city of the desert, says the author of "Five Years In a Persian Town," but how complete that desert is and how large it is hard to realize. In going from the Caspian sea to Yezd one sees a strip of gTeen country thirty miles wide along the sea and another twenty miles in diameter round Teheran. Aside from that there is nothing but waste. The desert in Persia, however, is of many kinds. There are places where the ground is absolutely bare except for the thick crusts of salt that lie like snowdrifts, streaking the plain in every direction. There are also places equally salt where the proximity of a certain amount of useless water produces a larger quantity of plant life thau in the ordinary desert. For the rest there is a vast waste of sandy patches and of gravelly soil, fertile enough when water can be brought to it, sometimes flecked with dry, brownish shrubs, sometimes quite bare. Two desert plants never touch one another. In the most favorable places two very tiny shrubs may be found within two yards of each other, but with a single exception one does not see on the central Persian caravan route a place away from the hills with enough natural growth to modify the color of the distance. Even La the oases no seed comes up that is not purposely sown; no plant seems to have any association with the rest. One fixes the eye on each of them individually as upon a single unit, not as ob a part of a field or a garden. The water for these oases Is brought by the most difficult means imaginable. It ia found in abundance at the foot of the mountains, perhaps 300 feet underground. When a well has been sunk and plenty of water found a huut is made for the nearest place in the desert which is lower than water level in the well. Such a spot Is Yezd. thirty miles from the sources whigh water it. In a line with that place other wells are sunk thirty or forty yards apart, each shallower than the one before', and then from the selected site a tunnel is run in to the first pit, from that to the second, and so on back to the wells, even though they be forty mites away. Through this underground channel flows the life giving water. Sometimes It happens that a sudden hard rain falls In this desert country. It brings many disasters, for the sun baked mad roofs of the dwellings are caved in. their walls are washed away, and other damage is done them. But, worst of all, too much water washes out and caves in these "Quanat" channels, and until they are -again dug out no water comes to town. It hag happened at Yezd that a single rainy day, the water from which had dried away or stink into the ground before the next sunrise, has. by filling the channels, caused a water famine

ODD THINGS THAT HAPPEN Of four calves born on the farm of Charles Robertson, near Chanute. Kah. the only survivor is being cared for in an incubator. W. H. Frye. a mail clerk, seventyfour years old, and engaged In his work since lSt!, who has traveled 2,OOO.CMh) miles, or eighty times around the world, calculates that he has eaten in thirty-nine years, pies equivalent to a strip eighteen inches wide, extending twenty-seven miles.

The chief of police in St. Louis is receiving requests from a certain class of residents to keep cows, pigs, chickens and dogs in the second story of houses. "William Welsh, of Vineland, N. J., attacked by a vicious cow, saved himself by choking the animal until she weakened sufficiently to enable him to escape. Four sons were born in one day to the three daughters of Mrs. Belle Durkee, of Fayson, Mass. The first arrivals were twins. An eagle intending to alight in a pen containing six young lambs near Dover, Del., miscalculated, and. getting inside a pen where was lying an old sow- with a litter of pigs, was thrashed and so severely disabled that the sow's owner captured the bird. When the secretary of the Kansas Board of Health examined a library in a Topeka drug 6tore he found inside a volume labeled "Just Twenty Years Ago. Practically Illustrated," a flask of whiskey sent out by a Kentucky distiller. Unable to furnish $5TO as ball, Edward Fulton, charged at Riverside, N. J., with obtaining board under false pretenses, put up as security all the cloaks and overcoats of his daughter, two sons and himself, which were accepted.
