significance of their class motto
which reads; The heart giveth

At this point in the program
the Seniors were surprised by be-

Miss Guiser told the Seniors that
the Elementarles had observed how
laborious it was to carry Senior

fitting opportunity to present
them with cane stand. Misses

Our Splendid Telephone System to
be in Operation Soon.

The private telephone lines of
this city that were put in last
season, have been purchased by
the Pierce County Telegraph Co.
The lines will be rearranged with
central office in Frank Thayer's
restaurant. This change will be
of great Importance to the citizens
of the place as they will have the
benefit of a system as good as
those of large cities. The rent
will be only one dollar per month,
a price so low as to come within
reach of the private houses and
stores. The convenience of such
system is inesti mable, as shop
ping and ordering of groceries,
meats and everything that now
costs a trip down town can be
done with a telephone. With the
same rental price the free use of
the telephone between other towns
can be had. For instance, those
having a telephone can sit in their
own houses and talk with friends
in River Falls, Beldenville, Ellis
worth, Lawton, El Paso, Martell,
Waverly, Rock Elm, Ono, Plum
City and Maiden Rock. The COM
pany expect to extend its lines
through to Hudson which will
add another town to the list. The
introduction of such enterprises
will Id greatly to the conve nience
of the city and county. The off
GERS of the company are A. &.
Michaels Of River Falls, President;
T. A. Severance of Beldenville,
Vice President; A. Comkacker OF
Ellsworth, Secretary and Superin-
tendent; and E. r. Condit of Ell
Paso, Treasurer. Hudson will
soon push it's line through to Still
water, which with the extension
of our line to Hudson, will con-
meet this city with s tillwater, St.
Paul, Minneapolis and Chicago.
Also with the complication of the
New Richmond line to Hudson.
The villages north of New Rich
mond will also be brought within
speaking distance. The citizens
of River Falls as we'll as those of
other connected towns, should
SO important an enter
prise and do all IN their power to
encourage the promoters, by rent
ing telephones.
Those who will take telephones in
this city are Prairie Mills, Greenwood

Closing Exercises Of the Model Schools,
June IL, 1896.

ne exercises were HCiu III my
Assembly, room At $3.50 the
room was crowded to it's utmost
seating capacity, by the pupils,
their relatives, friends and many
others interested III the progress
and promotion of education.
The teachers of the Model Schools,
Misses Martin, Haynes, and Peck
am, were all present and under
their careful guidance and super
vision the exercises were all that
could possibly have been antlcI-
pated.
The program was divided into
two parts, the first being the
primary and intermediate schools
together, and the second by the
grammar grade. It was hard to
Judge. from the audience, which
part of the program was the most
interesting.
Each number on the program
was rendered so delightfully."- that
commentator was given to all.
Between the first and second
parts of the program the audience
arose and sang "My Country tbs
of Thee The second part of
the program was rendered princi-
pally by the Mines of the grammar
department, the whole school
taxing part in the songs.
It was our Judgment, as we
listened to the essays, that tie
participants did credit to their
subjects, to themselves and to
their teachers under whose excel
lent instruction they have been.
Wednesday afternoon the Glass
Day exercises Of the Normal school
were held in the chapel. The
decorations were simple but taste
fully arranged. Many wild and
cultivated flowers were used be-
sides plentiful supply of ferns.

President Ruediger gave the
SaIutatory Address in which he
stated the reason and for what
purpose the class was organized.
The exercises continued us stated
on the program. Miss Irma Arm
strong, the Class Chronicle, re-
lated in verse many interesting
incidents in the personal lives OF
her classmates. Miss Armstrong
closed by telling Of the destruction
of che class tree. George Martin did
not observe it when he moved the
lawn. Miss Murphy came next and
delivered the Senior Glass Proph'-
ecy. Miss ML"phy came before
the audience in a graceful and
pleasing way, and delivered her
address without even having note
to refer to.

TayIor is a pioneer of that region of country
and has been long time in the livestock

he pays little attention to cattle ana some
other kinds of livestock.

There is one thing at Bakersfield that is ex-
citing considerable attention and good deal
of comment, and that is the getting OF electric
power from Kern River Canyon. This canyon
is sixteen miles from Bakersfield. There is
very large fall of water there, and the idea Is
to bring the power to the city and use 1t there
for starting lot of industries, including fac

used, too, for other purposes, notably for pump

CAMPAIGN OANARDS,

1t is evident that the stage of the cam
paign has been reached when the usual
Democratic canards will begin to fly about
the country. Some OF them have already
made their appearance. They are of two
kinds. First, those which aim to induce
the people to believe that the Republican
party is resorting to bribery for the pur-
pose ofcarrying the election, and secondly.
those which endeayor to lead credulous
fools into the belief that men of capital
and managers of great industries are try
ing to coerce their employees into voting
the Republican ticket.
Some of these canards have already ap-
peared, and fortunately their contradic-
tions have followed swiftly after them.
We published yesterday the statement of
the proprietors of the Ohio Farmer, con-
tradicting report that the paper had
been offered So 900 by Mr.. Hanna to sup
port Mckinley. All charges of attempted
coercion have been refuted wherever they
have been specifically made. There is no

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.

The Republican campaign in California
has been well managed and from all re-
ports is proving effectual for the National
ticket in every part of the State. No loyal
Republican can find any fault with the
management OF Major Mclaughlin and
his colleagues Of the State Central Com
mittee. On the other hand the party has
every reason to be well pleased with their
efforts and gratifed by the success at
tanned.
The State committee has put able
speakers and workers into the field and
the local committees in all parts of the
State have cordially co-operated in pro-
noting and advancing the good cause. AS
the San Diego Union says: mo men can
present Republican principles more
forcibly and eloquently than General w.
II. L. Barnes, Hon. Samuel NJ. Shortridge,
General John P. Jackson and dozen
others who might be named and who are
already doing good service for Mckinley
and Hobart in California"
The only cloud upon Republican pros
poets in the State is that which has been
raised in this City by class of Republi-
cans who have bolted the regular local
ticket of the party and refused to submit
to the decision and authority of the State
Central Comm This detection, how
ever formidable it appears now, will
surely diminish as election-day ap-
proacbes. All Republicans are aware that
with the present divisions in the Demo-
cratic party united Republican organi-
cation would be sure of victory and would
poll in San Francisco a majority large
enough to assure the electoral vote OF
California to Mckinley and Hobart
1t needs no argument to convince any
intelligent Republican that the duty OF
all members of the party is to support the
Stale Central Committee by all means in
their power. The situation speaks for it.
self. The divisions in the Democratic
party are caused by fundamental prin-
cIples and cannot be reconciled in t5is
campaign. Local Republican dissensions
have been caused by matters of minor
Importance, AND, moreover, they have
been appealed to the State Central Com
mittee and impartiaiIy adjudicated. All
Republicans, therefore, can honestly unite
for victory. The State Committee de-
serves support. Let it be given Loyalty.

The Experience of Canada During the

The following extract from the Toronto
Leader was published In the financial
columns OF the Aita Californian April IS,
1866:
1t is well known that we were not troubled
with silver before the American war COM
the States became deprecated and would not
pass In Canada, we began to find American
silver pouring into the country. Gold became
an object of speculation; every one knew 1t
must advance in price, and as a consequence
the Americans brought silver in large guam
titles into this province, and after exchanging
1t for bills drew gold from the banks with
American silver became abundant in Canada
at once. The banks soon found 1t necessary to
refuse to take silver from their customers at
par on deposit; this stopped to great extent
the direct influx, and the banks have found 1t
necessary ever since TO regulate the rate OF
discount relatively to the abundance OF silver
In the market
The price of gold in New York continues
higher than the price of silver, the difference
being never less than per cent and generally
much more, varying according to the demand
Tor gold from the importers. 1t therefore be-
comes matter of speculation with the Ameri-
can dealer to buy silver in New York and pay
II out to us, as he realizes from to B per cent
on the money alone in the transaction. This
circumstance keeps up constant but gradual
influx OF silver into this country and accounts
So long then as silver is taken at par by US,
and the above difference in the price of silver
and gold in the New York market continues,
the country will be flooded with silver.
