Madame Sarah Bernhardt has arrived
in New York. As soon as she reached her
hotel upon her arrival the reporters BE-
gan to have fun with her. They had pre-
viously asked Yvette Guubert. the French
singer. what she thought OF Bernhardt.
20 which she had replied. sarah is 81
Who'd believe It? And what difference
does IL make anyhow The reporters
repeated this to Bernhardt and asked
what was her opinion Of Guilbert. I've
heard Of her. but / don't know her" she
replied. she sings in concert halls. and
1 never go to such places" These mu-
tual expressions BY the great French wo-

fireworks.

Splendid Progress Being Made by the
A. Punils

Splendid Progress Being Made by the
" Pupils.
lDThe enrolment in the Athena public
school for the past month reached 1872
with total attendance of 1878 days, there
was but very little absence or tardinees,
and high average was made in both
recitations and deportment,/
The enrolment during the past week
has reached 200 and is still increas-
ing. The rules aud : equations as print
ed in the course of study for 1884 were
modified and adopted, several new rules
being added, the bringing of pupils be-
fore the faculty for the violation of any
known and established rule, tends great
ly toward promoting good order. The
course of study has been rearranged, the
9th grade completing all the common
school branches required in county ex-
animation, and an average of 80 per ceRt
will be required for promotion, the same
requirement as for End grade county
certificate. In the 9th grade the course
will include Algebra, Physical Geogra-
ply, Book Keeping, Composition and
Rhetoric, General History, English Lit
erature, Civil Government and Physics
all the branches required for state ex-
animation, and an average of IS per cent
will be required for graduation, further
notifications may yet be made, and it is
hoped to include Morals and Manners in
the course.
The teachers are cooperating to secure
perfect department, excellent recitations,
thorough work, and high standard Of
scholarship, with these attainments the
Athena public school will be in the front
rank of Oregon schools.

THE MAccAREEs.

They Entertained Their Many Friends
Monday Evening.
= Monday night the order of the Knights
OF Msccabees of Athena, held forth in
right royal style.
It had been previously announced that
from 1880 to p. M, on that evening, a
public meeting would be held at Masonic
Hall, to which cordial invitation to ell
had been extended. Early in the even.
ing five carriages arrived from Pendleton,
containing Sir Knights from Umatilla
Tent, No. 27.
Att 40 the hall was full to overflow
ing. Deputy Supreme Commander ] L.
Mitchell, of Portland, officiating as Com
mander, raped for order, and for one
and half hours, the vast audience
listened to most excellent program.
Space will not permit mention OF each
number, but suffice to say that all were
most excellently rendered. The songs
and recitations of Miss Joslin
Koontz, were among the most pleasing
events OF the evenings entertainment.
The young lady developed remarkable
talent and was recalled by the audience
q number of times. The male Maccabee
quartette, ,ssfrom Umatilla Tent, elicitated
considerable applause in the rendition of
the "Maccabee Lullaby" Several Sir
Knights from Pendleton, gave three
minute address, which were very enjoy
able.
The closing address was delivered by
Deputy Supreme Commander, j. l..
Mitchell, who stated that when he came
to Athena, 10 days ago, he found only
eight surviving members. Now the
membership had grown until total OF
81 had been reached. with good prospect
for an addition of 25 more in the near
future. Mr.. Mitchell's remarks were
pointed, touching on the matter of ex-
employing Fraternity TO one another,
and not waiting until a member had pas
sed away. His remarks while stepping
on the toes of few, were in the main
favorably received.
At 8 o'clock the audience was dismissed
and the Tent opened in due form and the
visiting Sir Knights demonstrated to IA
new applicants for mem bership, that an
Oregon Maccabee goat is q most exceed
ingly active animal. At midnight re-
cess was declared, and the Athena Sir
Knights escorted the visiting Knights to
the Athena Restaurant, where tables
loaded down with all the good things
Maccabee loves, we're waiting. The sup
per was most inviting collation., and the
Sir Knights feasted to their hearts con-
tent. After supper the Tent proceeded
with its work, completing their labor at
5 q. m,
All in all, the meeting was an emphat-
ic success, and there is standing guar
sntee on the part of the people, that in
future when the Maccabees have pub
lie meeting, standing room will be alta
premium.
EThe following officers were elected aud
duly installed:

GRAND JURY REPORTS.
Indexing the Observation-Disclosures
lndsane

lndexing the Observation-Disclosures to
Indians.
The grand jury made final report as
follows: After referring in the usual
manner to the inspection OF the county
officers and books, the jail and the poor
house, the following recommendations
were made:
"Thst the county jail be given coat
walls. and that a seperate cell be con-
structed away from the main jail for the
confinement of criminals or witnesses
who should be isolated from other in
mates.
"We have investigated the matter otin-
dexing the records in the offices of the
recorder of conveyances and in our opin-
ion the same is ample and sufficient for
present needs, but recommend that, II
in the future it be found necessary to
have new index, the contract be let
to the lowest responsible bidder. Il
"We call attention to the fact that sew,
eral of the justices of the peace have
made unnecessary costs to the county by
holding defendants and sending cases to
the grand jury without substantial evi-
dence that crime had been committed
and recommend that in the future they
use greater discretion.
SIN the matter OF the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors to Indians contrary to
statute, we find, upon investigation and
conversation with the different officials,
taxpayers and business men generally,
the Indian agent, and the better class OF
Indians, that it is desirable that the law
be enforced. 1t further appears that
large number of Indians will become
paupers and necessarily have to be sup
ported by the county's expense during
the coming winter, If the practice con-
tinues. We recommend, therefore, that
the court instruct the prosecuting attor-
ney and all other peace officers to see
that the law shall be strictly enforced" ]"
The usual courteous acknowledgement
to court and officials was made and the
report signed by Ellsworth ]. Davis, fore.

FIRE AT WESTON.
The Flour Mill Burned and Large

The Flour Mill Burned and Large
Loss Estimated.
x The Weston Roller Mill, one of Wes-
TONS principal industries, together with
a large warehouse, in which was stored
10000 bushels Of wheat was consumed
by flames, at Z 80 Monday evening. The
building was macs Of flames before the
fire was discovered, making it an inn
possibility to save anything at all. The
plsut was owned principally by |. E..
Sailing and Press Worthington, and not a
dollar Of insurance was on the building
or machinery at the time OF the loss.
The wheat and stock consumed was
insured on basis Of SOC on the dollar.
How the FIRE originated will probably
never be known. The mill which was
under lease to Stump & McCaw has been
running night and day on big orders for
the China trade, but few days prior to
the FIRE was only running day time, on
local orders.
The mill was Of 100 barrels every "a
hours' capacity, was fitted with the latest
and most modern machinery and vas do
ing good business. the total loss is
thought to be about 500 900, partly cover
ed By insurance on the stock. Its loss ie
indeed hard blow to the community.

court TO be granted new. trial on the
grounds Of surprise in 80 much as the
court has treated the criminal proceed
ings brought against Ruddock as though
the charge had been larceny whereas the
complaint charged the defendant with
embezzlement and the case had been
handled accordingly by counsel. Judge
Eakin denied the motion for a new trial
and then read the statute under which
this prosecution was brought, and added
that public officers have been too often
guilty Of using public money for their
own purposes? Realizing the fact that
the amount wrongfully appropriated was
small he passed upon the shortest SEN
tence, namely one year in the peniten-
tiary, and to pay fine of $l49 or twice
the amount appropriated.
