THEY PASSED THE LIE
Angry Controversy Between the
Normal School Trustees.
ALL BEFORE THE WORKMEN
A Very Lively Meeting of the Board Is
Expected 10 BE Held at
Cheney.

Cheney, Sept. pa bitter row be-
tween two of the three trustees of the
state normal school here threatens to
divide the good people of Cheney into
two opposing camps. One of these
camps is loyal to the cause of Trustee
r. H. Manner; the other adheres to the
cause of Trustee Walters. The latter
has the support of Banker Percival
The trouble grows directly out of the
resignation of Superintendent Reilly,
who had charge of the construction of
the new building for the normal school,
Mr.. Reilly was appointed to the place
about two months ago, after a spirited
race by half a dozen applicants. Other
applicants for the $100 job at that time
were T. M. Grove, Alexander Hogg.
T. A. Moore, William Wraight and
Alec Watt. 1t is understood that Archi-
tect c. b. Seaton wanted Alexander
Hogg appointed to the place, but
Trustee Walters favored Mr.. Reilly,
who is close friend, and had his way.
When Architect Seaton discovered,
the other day, that inferior materials
were entering into the new building,
he advised the superintendent to re-
sign, and Mr.. Reilly acted on the ad-
vice. In reporting the matter, Trustee
Manner said that Mr.. Reilly was asked
to resign, and Trustee Walters took
exception to that word and became very
angry at the reverend gentleman
There had been several wordy passages
between the two trustees, and these
eliminated yesterday in a most unfor-
tunate episode. The two trustees met
at the building. and in the presence of
the workmen Mr.. Walters called Mr..
Manner "a ID old liar" Rev. Man
ier, like Sol Smith Russell in Peaceful
Valley" tried hard to be a Christian,
and curbed himself to the extent of
only calling Mr.. Walters IAN Infamous
liar and a dishonest man."
A hot time is expected at the board
meeting tomorrow. Trustee Dempsie,
who has been absent in British Colum-
bia for some time, and who has held
aloof and tried to act as peacemaker,
is coming down from Spokane in the
morning, and as he holds the key to
the situation, his arrival and action are
anxiously awaited. Architect Seaton is
also coming down.
1t is said that Mr.. Dempsie will take
firm position at tomorrow's meeting.
1t is expected that he will declare that
unless these differences can be oblit-
Grated. and the board work in har-
mony for the upbuilding of the great
institution over which they hold a SOL
emn trust, he will bring the matter to
the immediate attention of Governor
McGraw.
The question of choosing a successor
to Superintendent Reilly will come up
at tomorrow's meeting. 1t is thought
here that Architect Seaton will then
take the position that he ought to be
permitted to name Mr.. Reilly's success
or; and failing in that will advocate
that no appointment be made.

Sporting Luck, Killing % Stays

Berlin, Sept. 2S.--Prince Won Hohen-
lohe, the German imperial chancellor.
has abandoned the attempt to secure
majority in the reichstag through
the aid of the centrist votes. The CEN
trist party furnished ample proof last
winter OF being both irreconcilable and
unreliable and Prince Bismarcks ad-
vice on this point is said to have chang
ed the opinion that Prince Won Hoh-
enlohe formerly held. Negotiations are
now on foot between the factions of The
conservative party and the national
liberals and moderates to secure con-
certed action throughout the next ses-
sion of the reichstag on the most vital
of government measures. The move
ment which Is almost certain to sue
ceed will give the government a more
stable majority than ever Won Caprivi
had.
Among the principal government
measures which will be introduced at
the coming session of the reichstag are;
For the reform of the bourse, for the
protection of mechanical trades against
dishonest competition, for the relief of
agricultural toilers and for the fedora
ton of husbandry.
Among those who have been arrested
in connection with the discovery that
secrets regarding the national defense
were being sold to the French, is a for

A TEN MILLION DOLLAR SCHEME
opposi,ion TO a Project Agitnted by Lord
ROthschild.

London, Sept 2S.-There is trouble in
the Jewish colony over Lord Rotbschild's
scheme to build a COLOSSEUM, synagogue,
clergy house and Jewish settlement in
White Chapel at a cost of 100000.
Sir Samuel Montague declares that he
will oppose the scheme to the utmost.
White Chapel Is already congested with
Jews and rents there are as high as in
Mayfair. 1t would be unnecessary, says
Sir Samuel, while the government is med
itating anti-alien legislation. to attract
still more Jews to London. 1t would be
far better, he thinks, to try to induce the
Jews to leave England for some of the
colonies beyond the ocean.
The duke of York, who is now a captain
in the navy, will be promoted to the flag
