Congressman Ellis a Passenger.

Hon. w. R. Ellis of Heppner, one of
Oregon's representatives in congress,
passed through this morning on his way
to Washington, D. c., to attend the
short session of the Fifty-third congress.
Mr.. Ellis, who is spoken of as being
among the youngest and most handsome
of the lawmakers of the United States,
looked every inch congressman as he
stepped off the train and talked affably
during the few moments stop here with
La Grande friend. He had of course
but little time to devote to Chronicle
representative who interviewed him,
but informed the scribe that he thought
the Nicaragua canal project would be
the chief and most important subject
that will be considered this session. He
had several measures himself to propose,
but did not have time to outline them.
Mr.. Ellis was not accompanied by his
family.-La Grande Chronicle.

in which the mind receives no substan-
tial benefit. He placed upon the board
an example in which the lowest COM
mon multiple should be found After
fully explaining the process involved
he made the example serve as a basis
for the solution of problems in frac-
tons. Examples in compound num-
bers were then considered, in which
the speaker would waive the usual
method employed by authors, and pre-
sented the matter in a much more SIM
plified form.
An interesting discussion took place
during the presentation of the subject,
which added to the profitableness of
the hour spent.
short period in considering the import
ance of the subject of drawing Mr.
Augsburg prefaced his brief talk by
quoting the statement attributed to
Colonel Parker, to the effect that the
successful teacher of the future is he
who has knowledge of drawing. Up
on the board was drawn the repre-
Sentat1on Of a stream of water. The
objects surrounding the stream pre-
sented, as well as animal life in the
water and on the land, led to a. very
interesting discussion upon the habits
of animals instinct, mode of life in DIFF
ferent seasons of the year, etc, the
subject proving a source of great in
terest and profit to the teachers The
speaker impressed upon the mind the
fact that the child's sight is more inn
portant to him than his sense of hear
ing, and that through a, knowledge of
drawing the branches taught in our
schools are made of much deeper in
terest and the pupils school life is
measurably shortened. and made in
finitely more useful by a knowledge of
this most useful branch. MIR. Augs-
burg stated that Utain must be ahead
in a knowledge of drawing, and he be-
lieved that the teachers and pupils of
the territory are rapidly forging to the
front

FOOTBALL.
University Juniors Defeat the City
Junior Team.


The University Junior football team
defeated the City Juniors yesterday by
a score of 6 to 4. The game was played
at the Exposition grounds and quite a
number of people witnessed the con-
test. The University boys won the toss
and took possession of the ball. Cotton
kicked the ball and a gain of fifteen
yards was made by the University
boys. The City team found out that the
University's center was weak and COM
menced bucking it. They made a num-
Der Of gains. a run was then tried
around left end, but Mitchell made a
fine tackle and carried the man back.
The City soon scored a touchdown, but
failed to kick a, goal. AT the end of the
first half the score stood University, 0;
City, 4.
During the first part of the second
half. Arthur Mitchell distinguished
himself by making some fine runs
around the ends He was violently
thrown during one of these runs and
had his leg injured, but had the pluck
and grit to continue playing. The ball
was then slowly advanced toward the
Cgtv's goal post. McGraw acted as
linesman and gave some very unfair
decisions in favor Of the City team
Cotton. the University full back, made
a fine run of forty-five yards, making
touchdown for the University boys.
4 goal was easily kicked and the score
stood 6 to 4 in favor of the University.

had been hidden to a dinner and from
whom she had received no acknoWl-

added, and it is simply unpardonable
to be late at a dinner"
Another recalled the fact that at
least twenty persons TO whone She had
issued invitations for an evening par
ty had put in an appearance on that
occasion, although her invitation had
been otherwise ignored.
All dwelt upon the great inconveni-
ence such carelessness causes to a

struction to be put upon such an ac-
ton" said the mildest of the veXed
entertainers, lis that each lady fam
cies she is the only one who is thus
careless. The truth is she is almost
certain to have a score of companions.
1t is a rudeness of which many of our
so-called best people are often guilty,
and I, for one, intend to ignore in my
next list, all who failed to answer my
invitations, even though they all APP
peared at my party. l consider it the
crying evil of Salt Lake society. and
we ought to eradicte it even if we
must resort to harsh means. If people
do not know, they must be taught,
that every invitation calls for a writ

A QUESTION oF ETIQUETTE.
One in Which Salt Lake Ladies Are
Interested.

There is a social question or rather
one of etiquette that I think many Of
the society ladies would be glad to
have you look up. That is whether
when a lady gives a reception she
should expect calls afterwards. ! know
mat some consider an lat home as
an opportunity for their friends IL
make a call, while others expect a
marty call afterwards. If the society
leaders could agree upon that point il
would save misunderstanding and en-
barrassment. Can you not interview
some and have it settled? 1 do not
think one should call after recep-
ton"
The Herald received the above query
last week, and according to request
it was attempted to gain consensus
OF opinion on the subject.
The ladies interviewed were unani-
NOUS in their opinion that a party call
sAnot necessary after an afternoon re-
ception. That it is required, by the So
cial code after an evening party, large
or small, they all agreed.
"I do not claim to be an authority
but I do make that claim for Harper
Bazaar" said well known lady; land

evening Ii the Seventeenth ward school
house for the purpose of selecting a

edacation. was called to order by IL. A.
Smith, chairman of the Democratic
precinct conanniatee.
Aurelius A. Miner was chosen as
chairman for the evening. No time
was wasted in prelsminaries and after
the chairman had stated the object OF

were put in nomination: Joseph Pugs-
ley, named by Judah f.. Howells; John
y. Pike, by John Alfred; George 9.

Pugsley s.
The chair declared Mr.. Bywater the
nominee of the convention and on mo-
ton of H. 3. Folsom, seconded by Ar
thur Barnes, the nomination was made
unanimous.
The chairman then made a few re-
marks on the necessity of working
vigorously in order to elect the NOM
snee. Those of the other political creed
were going to do some tall rustEng and
sn order to win it was necessary to
get every Democrat to go to the polls
and vote. There are enough
Of Democrats IN the precinct

only thing necessary is to get them

voters not to be misled by Republican
talk of a non-partisaii contest in the
precinct as the 6. o. p. only favored
non-partiss.f action in precincts where
they could not elect Republican can
didates.
1t was suggested that the chair name

ward, to conduct the campaign, and the
following We're named: z. e. Rich, of

ward; J. L. Nebeker, of the. Twenty
second ward; Johann Halvorsen, of
the Twenty-third ward, and Arthur
Frewen, of Center ward.
Alonzo z. Hyde again urged the nee
essity OF hard and energetic work to
get the voters out. Mr.. Bywater is
strong candidate, but faithful work is
necessary to ensure victory.
A number of parties present rendered
their services and offered their vehi
cles to bring the voters to the polls,
upon which the convention adjourned.
