Boise, Ida, Feb. 16.-There was hot
shot fred in the senate today. when
Watt took the floor TO reply to Bier
bowers speech on the bill to CONSOLE
date Alturas and Logan.
His speech became somewhat per-
sonaI and aroused no little interest.
The stalwart gentlemen from Altu-
ras, who has the distinction of being
the only Democrat in the senate,
waxed eloquent as he sailed into the
opponents Of consolidation generally
and Borrower in particular.
Bferbower Rasted.
"I regret exceedingly that the distin-
guished senator and attorney repre-
senting Logan county, has seen fit, in
his ehdeavor to bolster up his argument
against one of the most just and i'm
portaNt measures that has come be-
foreBthis most honorable body, to en-
deavor to cast foul aspersions and heap
unjust and uacaIled-for-calumn upon
myself and the citizens of Alturas
county, whom have the honor to rep
resent in this chamber.
"I vas aware he would have no sense
of justice in this matter, but 1 had
hoped ne would have the sense Of COM
mon decency. I am now convinced that
he is devoid of either.
In answer to the statements of the
distinguished senator from Logan, de-
sire to state a few facts. During the
years that he asserts this was a COM
munity of free-booters, 1ooters and
thieves. this same senator from Logan
county Was the deputy district attorney
of Alturas county and the legal adj
wiser of the county board upon all pub
lie questions.
Base and Contemplate.
my remarks may, in a measure. be
personal, but after the outrageous,
cowardly attack upon the people of
my county, [ claim it as a question of
privilege to reply to the base, con-
temptfble SANDER uttered by the sena-
ear from Logan. He has openly de-
elar9d the administration in the days
When .Alturas contracted the larger
portion of the debt that he referred
to in his argument, was the reign of
thSsN.s. The distinguished senator,
as Ehave stated, during those days,
advised the board Of county commits
Bioners and slept in the court house
until ne was ordered out. and whether,
at this late day. de desires to turn states
evidence or else be revenged upon the
people of Alturas for depriving him of
free lodging, 1 leave you to determine. Z"
Bierbower denied that he had ever
been legal adviser of Alturas' commits
1zDners, having served only as special
counsel in some criminal cases.
After further debate the subject was
continued until Monday.
No Change.
Bill repeating boiler inspection laws
was passed by the senate.
In the house a motion to make
Blaine county bill (AIturas and Logan
consolidation special order for Mon
dav was lost. The house passed the
bill authorizing bond issue of $4,000
for Lewiston and Albion normal
schools.
1t was the same old thing in joint
ballot today. Cozier and Thomas
were paired and the vote stood: Shour
10, Sweet IS, Clagett 10. Everything
is quiet tonight and no indication OF
change.

His cabinet will proceed with the routine

Lord Salisbury will accept the premier

agree not to oppose the necessary esti-

and also that no member of the cabinet
which he forms shall be opposed for re-
election upon taking office.

Nineteen years ago ground was broken
in an old pasture at SaXtons River for the
erection of the first of the fine group of
school buildings now crowning the chill"
Wonderful has been the progress in these
10 years. Two dormtories, dining hall,
main hall for chapel and recitations, Ii
brary, armory and gymnasium, home for
the sick, residence for the principal, cot
tage for the military instructor, and farm
buildings have been erected. Laborato-
ries, offices, society rooms have been fitted
up, and necessary appliances for successful
work in all departments have been pro-
vided, and the Vermont Academy of to-
day is the result magnificent beginning
which promises one of the foremost schools
in the country. The opportunity is great,
the ideals of the school are the highest;
who will see to it that there are put into the
hands of the trustees the funds necessary
to carry out the plans that have been so
well begun?
The prelude to commencement week is
the series of public oral examinations,
which this year were thought by competent

The sermon before the graduating class
was preached Sunday evening by Rev. d.
D. Owen of Ludlow, the text being John
XVII, 3: "This is life eternal, that they
might know thee the only true God, and
Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent" The
central thought of the discourse was that
the sum of all success in education is to
know God and then gain the life eternal.
The public exercises of the literary socie-
ties were held in Fuller hall Monday after
noon. c. D. Easton, the president of Pi
Beta Phi, presided and gave brief sketch
of his society. A debate on the question
of happiness increasing with the advance
of civilization was well sustained, the dis
putants being: Affirmative, Mr. Walker
and Miss Stearns; negative, Mr.. Coffin
and Miss Field. An essay was read by
Mr. Wright and a recitation given by Miss
Fox. The president of Kappa Pi, Miss

The ''battle drill' Monday evening at
tracted a large number of spectators and
much larger number of auditors, the noise
of the terrible encounter being heard for
miles around. The enemy's position was
outlined on the hill near the farm build
ings. Here Lieut.. Olds had charge of the
six-pounder brass Napoleon and Sergt.
Major Gilbert commanded the sharp
shooters. The attacking party was under
the command of Capt. Field, the firing
line being commanded by Lieut. Utley, the
support by Lieut.. Stone, and the reserve
by Capt. Hindes. 1t was a fine exemplih-
cation of practical military tactics.
Rev. j. L. Campbell, D. D., of New
York gave an inspiring and instructive ad-
dress on missions before the Christian as
sociations Monday evening 1t was full of
telling facts and statistics, and the deeply
earnest manner of its delivery added much
to the effect upon the audience. Both
Sunday and Monday evenings the music
added greatly to the interest and pleasure
of the exercises. The chorus did good serv-
ice, and on Sunday evening Hindes sang
son Carmel's hill'' by Rodney, with fine
effect.
The Fuller defamation contest occurred
Tuesday morning with Rev. d. d. Owen
OF LuulOW, hon. y. W. 11luucS vi eI-
gennes, and Prof. JAS q. Dealey, Phi. D.,
of Brown university, as judges. Such un-
iformly excellent speaking has never been
heard in Vermont Academy, as all ac-
knowledged. This result is due to the
painstaking and inspiring work of Miss
Conant, who has developed the work to an
exceptional degree. The first prizes were
awarded to Theodore f. Therrien of Mon
treal, P. G., and Miss Helen Adams of
Lakeport, n. II. The second prizes went
to Chas. d. Easton of Lakeport, n. H.,
and Miss Geanie Milne of Claremont, n.
II. Honorable mention was made of Miss
Phoebe Frost of SaXtons River, and many
would have given prize to Clayton n.
Morgan of West Winfield, y. Y.

the victory of Willifred f. Hunt of North

seems to be reaping most of the honors this
year.
