emile extending over his entire physi-
ognomy. 1t was then that Mr.. Asbestos
discovered the sell and the commotion
began. As the joke had been so admir-
ably arranged and carried out in all its
details, the sell and disappointment
were complete. The fun increasing to
the extent of becoming noisy and bois-
ferrous, one of the quiet citizens of the
city requested the presence of Sheriff
Driver to keep the peace. The sheriff
being aware of the joke and well ac-
guainted with all the parties, informed
the citizen that no harm would come to
anything unless it might be the cakes
and pies.
It is to the credit of the lady to say
that she bore up under the trying ordeal
with patience and fortltude, but re-
peating to herself

The school Teacher. Enjoy Joke.

The monotony of the regular routine
work of the institute is relieved now and
then by practical joke being played by
some of the fun-loving teachers. The
latest of which your correspondent has
received any information, was one
played by a certain coterie Of the Hood
River delegation on one of their NUM- Der.
The chief actors in the fun were mott
equal to the task themselves, but we're
compelled to call to their assistance
quite a few of the Dalles people. The
lady, who was the victim in this in
stance. seems to be an adept in practical
joking, and is very sagacious, go much
SO that it requires the combined and
united effort of many to successfully en-
trap her. 1 apprehend that 1 will be-
come a victim to her capriciousness for,
imparting this information to your read
ere. To soften the blow when it does
come, 1 deem it policy not to give the
names of the parties concerned, but des-
ignate each in a different manner.
The victim, Miss Asbestos, had in a
mischievous hour perpetrated joke on
Mr.. Greenpark that was immensely en-
joyed by his acquaintance and friends.
To equalize the matter or, in the YER
nacular of the street, to 'get even" be-
came his controlling passion.
Now, Miss Asbestos has a very near
and dear friend in the person of Mr..
Dummy Meade Groate, who is at present
at work in the Hood River valley. I
will say, by way of parenthesis, and as
an explanation, that Mr.. Dummy Meade
and Miss Asbestos are very much de-
voted to each other, and, as is natural
in such cases, find great pleasure in each
others company. Having been sepa-
rated for some two or three weeks, it was
supposed that meeting between them
would be much enjoyed. Acting upon this
supposition, meeting was arranged as
follows: The brother of Miss Asbestos
contrived TO have Mr.. Greenpark play
the part of Dummy Meade in calling up
Miss Asbestos over the phone, Inform
ing her that he was in Hood River and
had broken his 'tbike," which could not
be repaired there, and would come to
The Dalles on the 10 As p. m. TO have it
repaired, and would be pleased to have
her meet him at the train. I am told
that Miss Asbestos was go elated over
the pleasant antici ipation of meeting Mr..
Dummy Meade that she neglected her
baking and burnt the cake and pies.
As the hour for the arrival of the train
drew near her anxiety increased percep-
tibly She had invited several of her
lady friends to accompany her to the
train, few of whom had been apprised
of the joke, and it was laughable to see
them undergoing the excruciating pain
of keeping silent.
The ladies, with their escorts, re-
paired to the depot to await the incom-
ing of the train, Miss Asbestos in high
glee and joyful expectancy, the other
ladies biting their fingers. chewing their
pencils and pinching themselves to pre-
vent laughing. The train arrived on
time, with no Mr.. Dummy Meade on
board; but Greenpark appeared on the
scene at this opportune time, with q

Today at the institute the following,
taken from Pedagogical Pebbles was
used in the theory class. Teacher, if
you lack the power of presence, develop
it; if you lack vigor of speech, acquire
it; if you lack energy of bodily move
ment, develop it; if you lack enthusi-
asnl, generate it; if you do not love
children, quit teaching school.
Twelve principles of good manage
ment, from ''Hewett's Pedagogy"
First-No school can be we'll taught if
it is not well managed.
Second-Never make anything per-
tanning to management an end in itself.
Third-No work is ever likely to be
we'll done if it is not well planned.
Fourth-A teachers example weighs
more than his words.
Fifth Make no law, grant or refuse
no request, give no reproof till yoU haze
thought about the matter.
Sixth-When you have once taken
your stand, stick to 1t.
Seventh-I, however, you see that
you have made a mistake, confess and
rectify your mistake like man.
Eighth-One who is kept busy about
right things has no time for mischief.
Ninth-Be more anxious to prevent
wrong doing than to punish it.
Tenth-Often make friend of way
ward pupil by getting him to do you
service.
Eleventh-Seek always the good of
your pupils; let good to yourself be in
cidental.
Twelfth-Never punish IN anger.

MUSIC AND DRAMA

Yesterday was the first day of the ad-

the audience will be large one.
Remember that he will be here tomor-

had better obtain them today. The fol-
lowing press notices commend him:
Albany, n. Y, Feb 2s. 1895.
my Dear Crawford:-I want to say
that your talk to the railroad men at
West Albany last night delighted the
great audience that greeted you. y very
intelligent employe of the New York
Central said to me: L expected to hear
a good deal Of blood and thunder from

listening TO one of the most entertaining,
patriotic and instructive talks that ever

that it was an immense success, and the
principal feature was Captin Jack Craw-
ford, the Poet Scout, who. as an enter
tainer, can not be equalled. He IS orig

SOME POINTERS IN POLITICS
If Factions Lie Down, Wihchit Might Get
Commissioner.

If Wichita wants to get a railroad
commissioner from the executive board
il must not divide itself into fighting fac
tions.
A reporter for the Eagie met Governor
elect Leedy and more than dozen other
prominent Populist politicians yesterday,
and Ii was the opinion Of nearly every
enc OF them that Wichita will get rail-
road commissioner If the fight between
the candidates is not made too bitter.
Governor Leedy was told that Wichita
expected railroad commissioner; that
the people wanted one; that as a whole
they did not have any choice to the ex-
tent that if they didn't get favorite
they did not want the other fellow, anh
that any good man would satisfy them.
It was also suggested 10 him that Wiah-
ita has not a citizen within its borders
that is not comparatively a good man
OF course eovernors-elect do no. say
much. but there was no mistakng the
fact that he was pleased with the idea
that Wichita would be pleased over the
appointment of any honest man TO the
position of railroad commissioner.
The governor-elect expressed great sat
isfaction over the vote he got in this
county and he intends to be as friendly
as possible to Wichita. 1t il not i'm

That is absolutely sure.
The fight for state printer between
Bill Brown of Kingman, Lyman Nau-

into pretty bad tangle it is not unlikely
that B. E. Kies of this city will be used
as a key TO solve the same. This. of
course, will be dependent, in a great
measure, upon the success of the propo-
sition 20 give railroad commissioner to
Wichita. If the railroad commissioner
comes here the state printer will not.

ment. The blaze was in the store and
the supposition is that it caught by a
lighted candle coming in contact with a
large stock of cotton batting A work

plaster and laths in order to get at the
source of a bad smell, caused, it is
thought, from a dead rat, was using a

caught the batting in some way. That
supposition is based on the fact that no
other accountable cause for the fire could
be aScertained.
Before the fire was out the agents
of two insurance companies were
around at the store 10 adjust the loss.
This was a piece of promptness that is
not witnessed every day by the patrons
of insurance companies.

| Charles A. Oppenheimer Of this city /:
now in jail al Kansas City, charged with
attempting to murder his former wife,
| Dixie Lee.
For several days Oppenheimer had
heen in Wichita. but left here Friday
last. His ex-wife had heard Sunday
morning that he contemplated killing
her, but paid no attenuLn TO it until he
came to her door Sunday afternoon with
pistol. He was refused adnittance
and went away. She thought there would
be nothing more Of it, but late on Sun
day afternoon former Wichita man
sent her word that Oppenheimer would
return to her house at nigh, and kill her.
She Immediately informed the police de-
partrnent and Detectives Halpin and
Hays were detailed to watch the house
that night. About 10 O'Clock they noticed
q man climbing over the back fence and
then running towards an open back door
with revolver in his hand. The detec-
tives caught him just as ne was going
through the back door and they had
quite a struggle before they could disarm
him.
When they arrived at Central Station
with him a search of his pockets and
clothing revealed a terrible looking dag
ger and bottle of morphine.
That he fully intended TO kill his former
wife and then commit suicide there is no
doubt, for in mis- pocket was found a let
ter with a statement that ii be forward
ed to John Clayton OF this city. The
letter said in substance: You were the
best friend I had in the world and
write to say that IL all up with me now.
YOU shall never again see me alive. My
grip is in Wichita, soaked for 81 and If
You can take 1t out of soak you can
have IT,"
According to the Kansas City police.
he confessed, after being in jail. that ne
intended to kill her and then commit
suicide. The supposition at police head
quarters was that he was insane and Il
was agreed yesterday 10 send him 10 the
City hospital for examination as 10 his
sanity.
His former wife stated TO the police
that he had written her several letters
threatening to kill her if she did not give
him some money.
They were married in 1887 and were
divorced about a year ago at Kansas
City. While he was here last week he
told reporter for the Eagle that all he
wanted of her was the possession OF an
adopted child.
1t was currently reported here yester-
day that when Oppenheimer left here he
said he intended TO kill his former wife.
