Two itinerant preachers of the fe-
male persuasion, enroute to Coal Hill
stopped off here one day last week and
preached three sermons to large audi
ences. Their style of oratory is of the
Sam Jones order-from female stand
point, and some telling strokes were
delivered against fashionable female
foibles and not few of the shortcom-
ings of the sterner sex were pointed
out. They left Thurday for the mining
camps At Coal Hill where they will
preach to the convicts confined there.

The Russellville public school clos
ed on Friday last with exercises con-
sisting of select readings, recitations,
compositions, etc., by the pupils in the
different rooms, all of which were well
rendered, some of them especially so,
ano were crsditable alike to teacher
and pupil. The recitation of Miss Lii
lie jacobson ana the composition of
Miss Gertie Munday are worthy Of spe-
cial mention. The exercises over the
various departments met in the prima-
~ room where addresses were deliver
ed by School Director X. j. Wilson and
Judge Il. b. Wilson. Both gentlemen
spoke in complimentary terms OF the
school, and offered some excellent and
timely advice to the pupils who were
about to enter upon a vacation. The
principal closed with feeling address
to his assistants, the directors and pu-
pills. Prof. Knowlton aud his efficient
corps of assistants retire from their ar
duous labors with q consciousness of
duty we'll performed and the assuran ce
from directors and patrons that their
work has been satisfactory.

They Are Not OF One Mind.

The board of education held a meet
ing last evening, with all OF the mem
bers present except MIR. stewart. Sew
era bids for furnishing the gas fixtures
for the new school building were opened,
and the contract awarded to j. G.
Bixby. The matter Of electing a secre-
tary was then taken up, but the mem
bers were unable to agree. Several
ballots were taken, but neither of the
three candidates, FINLEY, Maynard nor
Brown, received enough votes 10 elect.
This is the second meeting for the pur-
pose of electing a secretary, but the
ballots fail to count. Mr.. Stewart is ex-
pected home daily, and it is probable
that no definite result will be arrived at
until his return.
Another deadlock is threatened. and
all over so unimportant a matter as the
election of q secretary who shall draw
$500 a year for his services. The hitch
is not owing TO any i'll feeling between
the members of the board, but they like
a little recreation once in a while with
mo%notonous work OF their routine meet
ings, and an occasional deadlock fur
nishes the necessary spice to make il
interesting. The present difficulty sig
nifes nothing. AS soon as all OF the
members can get together the matter
will be amicably settled, and a secretary
will be elected IN short order.

They Will play Ball" Next Year.

Base ball for this year is practically
over, and preparations are already
making for the organization of a first
class nine for next year. There was a
great deal of dissatisfaction during the
past ason both among the players and
outsiders, oyer the manner in which
everything was conducted, and it is pro-
posed TO run the matter differently next
year. Under the new management
Rudio and Strock are left out in the
cold, which fact will probably give rise
TO some more kicking this fail. The
reorganiZed club will give a ball al
Masonic temple Friday evening, Octo-
Der l9, for the purpose Of raising money
to assist in purchasing new uniforms.
An early start is made so that there
will be nothing TO prevent opening up
the season as soon as possible. 1t is
proposed to place a team of genuine
ball players in the field, and have some
good games here mex season. An at
tempt will be made to convince the citi-
zens of the Bluffs that they need not 60
away from home TO see the national
game played as it should be, and II is
hoped that the move will prove sue
cesstul.
