A "REMINISCENCES. There called at this
office this week H. Kirk White Ayers, now
connected with the Resources Of Oregon and
Washington, at Portland. Nearly 30 years
ago he was foreman of an Office where the
writer was learning his trade, and since that
time We had not met until Monday. We
took one good square look at him and
thanked fortune we had not grown as bald
as he was gray. Mr.. Ayres proposes to H.
lustrate and write up Vancouver in his jour-
nal, thing which he can do to perfection.

Seeing accounts of the various exercises
of schools in Oregon and Washington, !
thought some people might like to hear
about the Washougsl school and its exer.
cises; for this reason write about it. On
the closing day in the fore and afternoon
until recess they had their lessons the same
as usual; at noon a picnic, and at recess
there was lively game of ball, which was
at its height when the bell rang loud and
clear, calling them to their work.
The first on the programme was a com.
position by Master Frank Hendricks, who
took for his subject 'Louise Wetzle." He
read well, and it was admired by the audi.
ence. Miss Hattie Durgan sang a song,
which showed talent for that branch of art.
Jamie Gibbons and Harry Carpenter then
spoke dialogue. They are little chaps,
but they did very well. Miss Christie
Shepherd recited "O'Connor's Child" which
seemed to be well received by the audience.
A dialogue entitled IA letter." was spoken
in pleasant manner by Frank Russell and
Frank Hendricks. Ella Gibbons and Hattie
Durgan then recited dialogue entitled
baby has got cramp." The next was
"May Queen" in which Lena Surber,
Christie Shepherd, Hattie Durgan, Bertha
Surber, Abbie Gibbons. and Ella Gibbons,
the May queen, took part. Miss Hattie
Durgan then favored tho audience with an
other song. The next was play entitled
Keeping boarding house" The whole
school took part in this, and it was well
played, the smallest doing their parts WELL
The last but not least was . composition
read by Miss Lille Russell, entitled
America" II was well read, very inter-
esting. and showed that talent to b well
cultivated.
Miss Robertson, the teacher, then read
the daily standing Of the several classes,
and on an average stood high, the highest
being Miss Lille Russell, 99.5. Some Of
the people present were called upon to
make soms remarks. but the majority do

the last Democratic Congressional Conyen-
ton at Wheeling He was speaking of New
mans attempt at compromise TO draw
Col Wilson from the field and couldn'l re-
member Ban Johnson,s name. He said:
''Oh, you know who mean. This fellow,
oh, what's his name, who led the 100 men

His Oratory was very enjoyable.
1t is astonishing how many people are
interested in the Scioto-LOmas decision. 1t
might have been thought enough has been
said and printed on the subject TO appease
the public appetite, but such IS by no means
the case. A great many wagerS have been
lade on the decision of the Inspectors, and
these bets have taken every conceivable
shape. IL may be some days yet before the
lists will be opened.
The Journal is mistaken in its headlines
yesterday, where 1t says the convention in
strueted the delegates for Good and Snider
respectively. Neither set OF delegates Was
instructed. The full and correct report APP

The Republican Executive Committee OF

stoned by the removal Of Dr. Wunderlich,
was rtfilled with DR.. 7. D. Edwards and
Mr. Lewis was elected secretary.
II was decided 70 call q mass convention
at the City Building on August 20, to select
delegates TO the Congressional Convention
at Cisrksburg On the 30th, and to select
Senatorial and judicial confereeS.
Mr.. Good is inclined to take a very
roseate view Of his prospects in this dis
trict. All candidates are buoyant and
hopeful, and he is no exception. The
news from Brooke put him in the best Of
humor and caused smile to play over his
face in wanton freedom.
GosSips III the north end are very blsV
