The Mahara minstrels at the Los

was a full house again last night
which enthusiastically applauded
the novelties introduced during the

mated music sheet, constitute a
laughable feature of the entertain-
ment. More than 20 up-to-date par-
odies and the best and latest songs
are sung by the splendid chorus.
The ensemble and stage settings
make an artistic picture, and the
delighted audience has recalls
nightly for the singing and dancing

THE WORLD'S IDEAL,
Dr. Price's Cream Basing Powder combines all the
elements of ideal excellence. It is highest in leaven-
ing power. It is free from the 'east taint of impurity.
No trial can be too exhaustive, no test too exacting,
for its admirable qualities.
Cake and biscuit made with it retain their
moisture, and are extremely light, flaky and fine
grained—aot coarse and full of holes as wIipt made
with alum baking powders. Alum bakirg powder
leaves a bitter taste in the bread or cake and food pre-
pared with it dries up quickly.
The severest tests were imposed at the World's
Columbian Exposition and the California Midwinter
Fair, where Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder eclipsed
all competitor-, \itc~ full examination and competi-
ion it secured ibr highest honors and a special gold
medal. These awards stamp it as
"THE FO*E*N?0T PAKIXO V cfWDt« IX ALL TMB WOfttO."

FROM HALL.
News of a startling nature is
plentiful in so far as sicknens goes
to make it.
Enterprise school, district 36, lias
suspended for the present on ac-
count of measles and other sick-
ness.
Dee Bennett's condition has not
changed materially, he may pull
through. Drs. Lowtherand Walker
are the attending physicians.
L L. McCornb's children also
Mrs. Sadberry's and John Martin's
have measles this week.
Jack Freeman is on the sick list
yet. Hehas griphel-bronchitis, ho
says "Doc" Walker of Burnett.
Dr. Will Walker has located at
Hall. He is a brother of our Bnr
nett Dr. Walker.
Dr. Hale has just located at Bur-
nett. He is an old Texas friend of
T L. Davis. T. L. says he will
divide practice and honors with th
best anywhere.
The people in this part so far as
the writer knows, were favorably
impressed with Dr. Threadgill's
management of the asylum but was
horrified to learn of so many escap
ing last week. The fact that they
were members of the legislature
furnithes no good excuse. The im-
pression prevails that the doctor
should, once having them bagged,
held them for examination at least.
This country is experiencing a
boom. T. L. Davis has had 30 acres
ot new land put in and a new house
built.
Tom Stout has had his house re-
painted.
Albert Hoover has a new house
costing probably $500.
Walker Menafe has had another
room put to his house.
Louis Melton is rigging up a four
horse team. Louis says he aims to
make a heap and needs son ethiug
to pull it.
Col. John Simpson formerly of
Norman has settled in this locality.
