social and religious culture, and
parliamentary practice" The first
regular meeting was an enthusi-
astic one. The literary programme
was rendered with a promptness and
efficiency that showed careful and thor
ough preparation, and the routine BUSH
ness was disposed Of with the accuracy
and dispatch that older societies might
envy. The president delivered an adj
dress, in which was pointed out the pur-
pose, and means to be employed and
others to be avoided, in accomplishing it,
closing with an earnest appeal to the
members to be unsefish, selfactive, and
loyal. Mr.. Campbell followed with a
bright, brief essay on "Meteorology."
Miss Henderson recited "The Moneyless
Man" with her characteristic clesrness OF
tone and comprehension. The next, and
so far as pure entertainment was con-
cerned, the climax of the program was
duet by the Misses Cary--a slumbrous
evening melody, breathing contentment
in the present and aspirations for the
future. A glipmse Of classical and stand
ard authors was given in gems from their
productions, selected and read by Miss
Mary Lee. Some members of the society
delighted themselves by naming the
authors, and others by trying. This
closed the literary programme, and was
followed by twenty minutes OF enjoyable
social intercourse. This feature is to be
made prominent one, tending to devel-
OPP conversational ability. The executive
committee then reported six names for
membership, recommending seven Young

Sam Quetnet, the Indian who many
weeks ago was arrested for stealing stock
from the reservation, recently convicted
at Walla Walla and sentenced TO three
years at McNeil's island, but who, about
three weeks ago, while being taken to the
penitentiary, made a desperate leap for
liberty by jumping from the train while
speeding along at the rate OF thirty miles
an hour, in the vicinity of his home on
the Satas, was recaptured last Saturday.
brought to this city and lodged in Jail till
Monday. when Deputy U. S. Marshal
Vinsoo, accompanied by Sheriff Simmons
who CHANGED to be going to the Sound on
that day, took him to McNeil's island. A
reward of $50 had been offered for his re-
capture and to secure the prize the Indian
police, assisted and directed by N. III.
Lille, of Toppenish, began an industrious
search for the fugitive. Quetnet was in
hiding in the vicinity OF his home,
stealthily visiting his young wife and
babe when he could in safety; but his
visits became too frequent and he was
again taken into custody Saturday morn
ing as he was leaving his rustic habitat
on the Satas. The Sound papers made
an error in the statement that he resisted
the officers desperately. Mr.. Lille assures
US that he made no resistance, asking
only for permission to bid his sorrowing
wife and innocent babe long goodbye
before lie was taken away. Sam is a
large, muscular fellow and is endowed
with that striking countenance peculiar
to the old warriors of the red tribes. He
was downcast, however, when he saw
there WAS no chance for escape. The
question as to whether or not his little
family could exist with reasonable com
fort during his incarceration seemed TO
give h IN great worriment of mind. Al
though naturally prone to criminal mis-
chief, 1t is believed by those who know
him well that he will be good Indian
when he shalt again be permitted to re-
turn to his humble hearth.
There is at last one vacant storeroom in
the city. A. Craig Il Son, dealers in
crocke'y, glassware, etc, have sold their
