Republican Strength In the
Senate Weakened by the

A, ST.. LOUIS, June l9.-The silver dele
gates played star engagement on the
last day of the convention. 1t was
brief, but dramatic in the extreme, and
sasily divided the public attention with
the presidential nomination. The pro-
ceedings in convention were of an i'm
pressive nature and all thinking men
present felt the gravity of the situation:
There were only 20 silver men who iett

The hearts Of hundreds more were with
the departing delegates as they stro@@e
down lifelong aisle. Nevertheless the
band played, the convention joined in
singing "rhe Red, White and Blue
and the business of the great gathering
Proceeded as if no unusual event nag
occurred. The men who walked out
held q miniature convention Of their
own and agreed to spring Senator Teller

in the independent movement,
As Candidate for President. 4
This plan will be consummated at d
meeting to be held during the day.
when an address will be issued over the
signatures of the disaffe2ted delegates
who turned their backs on the conven-
ton, and probably some Others. q
Canvass for signatures was made among
the silver men and the canvassers ex-
pressed satisfaction at the success with
which they had met. '!'hey do not ex.

Six.senators in the Bolt.
It was wAl understood among the
boiling delegates that while only one
delegate from Montana, Congressman
Hartman, weNt: cut on the bolt, the en-
tire" delegation was in perfect harmony
with Che movement, including Senators
Carter and Mantle. Counting Sepatefs
Carter and Mantle, and Senatots
Teller, Dubois, Cannon and Pettigrew,
who went out, there are six United
States senators, who took part III the
protest against the gold plank They
constitute almost one-seventh Of the
Republican strength in the senate.
Their detection reduces the Republican
representation in the senate to. 38; and
makes the Republican vote one less
than the Democrats All this, Of course,
depends OH the extent to which Carter
and Mantle join in the independent
movement.

returned yesterday from their trip to
the north fork of the John Day river re-
port that the young daughter of the
postmaster of Susanville has been mis-

this date she strayed from her home and
became lost or was carried away. Over
200 men are securing the country trying
to find some clew as to the girls where

learned up to Saturday night. Carlson
and Robbins searched for two days, and
during their tramp over the country
met many others who were bent on the
same object.
Fears are entertained that the girl has
been seduced away from her home and
murdered.-Pendleton Tribune.

ers cannot avail themselves of the privi-
leges these agencies offer.
To these no better substitute can be
offered than earnest and intelligent in
stitute work. Many of the stronger and
more ambitious may succeed in carry
ing on work by themselves, but the
great majority need the direction and
assistance, and the sense of fellowship
that come from organization.
Recognizing this need the state has
devised a system of Institutes and teach
ers' meetings and the teachers duty
thereto is embraced in the following rule
of the state board:
Teachers in the public schools in this
state are required to attend all teachers
institutes held under authority of law in
the counties where they reside, proUaded,
that they shall be required to attend the
annual institute in their county each
year. For non-attendance of any
teacher at the institute, without a good
and sufficient reason, the county super
intendent is hereby authorized to lower
the grade of his or her certificate or re-
woke the same, in his discretion, accord
ing to subdivision %, section %, Oregon
school laws. School directors are re-
quired to allow their teachers two days
of actual school service for such attend
ance, without any deduction from their
wages, and without requiring them
afterwards to made up the time so
spent"
