issued circular, in which hc discusses
the subject at considerable length set
ting forth IN detail the claims Of those

As bearing upon the position in Michi-
gnu, the circular states that the latest
reports from 43 leading cities Of this
state show that the total enrolment
was 173 $50; number in high school,
1920; number graduating, ,33l.
From the most careful computations
taking IN the consideration the fact that
there are four high schools and eight
primary grades, and TINT only one class
graduates each year, the following
deductions are made from these reports.
Less than l6 per cent OF the total en-.
rollment enter the high schools; less
than 40 per cent OF this lG per cent, or
less than per cent Of the total enroll
mcnt graduate from the high school; Of

PRESENTED WITH A WATCH.
Sam Lucas Honored By His Hamil-
ton Friends.

Sam Lucas was presented with
$3.50 watch at the Lucas opera house
last Friday evening by his friends
here.
The word had quietly passed around
that the Lucas family would meet their
friends at the opera house that eve
ming and arrangements were made ac-
cordingly. The stage was tastefully
decorated with evergreens, including
big streamcr inscribed Farewell,
Sam" Fully 500 people were present
and were entertained with music by
the Hamilton orchestra and O'Brien &
McCauley's giant phonograph. Every
body shook hands will, Mr.. Lucas and
bid himself and family Godspeed and
unbounded happiness and prosperity
to come. 1t was an affecting scene
that brought tears to many eyes
when Sam Lucas, who has been every
body's friend, arose bashfully to re-
spond. His heartfelt avowal that he
loved them all was keenly appreciated
by those present.
| Grouped about Mr.. Lucas aud May
or McCrackin on the stage were a
number of friends. The mayor brief
ly and in we'll chosen words made the
presentation. Mr.. Lucas Responded
as follows, receiving a continual ova
ton:

do, but Notwithstanding all that, am
taxpayer of Ravalli county and ex-
pect to continue as one and there is
other small tax payers in the county,
aye, hundreds Of them that have just
as much right to express their opinio n
on the court house question as any of
the well-to-do capitalists that this new
Daily y-McGinty-Sherman organ is writ
ing to, asking their opinions on the
$4,000 ornamental court house propo-
sition. l dare say that this bright
young newspaper henchman from the
east has not IN one single instance
written to small tax payer or poor
man asking his opinion about the
court house or if he has it has certain
ly been to some one under the control
of the rich and who dare not express
his mind on the subject for fear of the
wrath of his master or boss. To re-
turn to your slurs on me l will say
that am not lying when I put my
signature under an article as "Old
Timer" am nigh unto so years of
age and was born and raised
in the west and have been in the Bit
ter Root valley probably before you
ever heard that there was such place,
and young man let me kindly suggest
that you do not again take any one to
task for writing newspaper article
| over a nom de plume instead of his
own signature. That sir, is quite a
common thing to do. In fact I'll ven
ture to say that you may have done
the same thing before you rose to the
high position of editor of rich mans
whittle to dis of a small backwoods
country sheet. We are not. ot.certain that
you are the right person to criticise
others or to give advice. You have
been in the county for less than 81

good beginning. We have never me-
you yet but the country sheet you CLAIM

"Rupert of Hentzau."

In selecting Anthony Hopes thrilling TO- mantle drama, Rupert of Hentzau," for MT. Howard Gould's annual starring tour, his manager, Wallace Munro, has chosen vehicle particularly suited to the capa- bilities of this popular young actor. In 'The Prisoner of Zenda" MT. Gould achieved a reputation which put him in the front ran of romantic actors, and vindi- cated MT. Daniel Frohman's judgment in selecting him as MT. Southern's successor in the role. This second Zenda romance of fers even greater opportunity for his un- questionable talents, so those who have seen the first play will be especially anx- ious to witness his portrayal Of the same character in it's sequel. The production is the original one from MT. Daniel Frohman' s Lyceum Theatre, and is up to the Frohman standard as to scenery, costumes, access sories and supporting company. It will be seen at the Jefferson Theatre tomorrow afternoon and night, and the inquiry for seats in anvance indicates the interest aroused in MT. Goulds appearance in this stirring drama

RUTH BRYAN MAKES SPEECH.
Before FelIow-colIege Students She De.
 fends Her Fathers Course.

Alton, H., Dispatch in Philadelphia North
 American
 William J. Bryan has not said what he thinks of the results of Tuesdays election, but Miss Ruth Bryan, his daughter, has spoken. Miss Ruth says, Tt Is too bad.'
 Miss Bryan is a pretty girl of Is years, attending the Monticello Seminary, a young woman's school at Godfrey, IL The young women of Monticello could not vote, but they could see that everything the men did was properly ratified.
 Politics has no place at Monticello. The days are devoted to the study of better and gentler things, but the rude world despite all human vigilance, will now and then vault the campus fence to have romp on the green lawn, and run in the big hills It did this Wednesday, when the young women of the school held big ratification meeting. They paraded in cos tune and had speeches.
 Miss Bryan was called upon for a speech. Some Of her schoolmateS thought it was cruel thing to make her speak, but she was not numbered with these. She thought 1t was the thing to do, and had no fear.
 Like her father, Miss Bryan can talk be- fore crowds. One hundred and fifty girls were before her when she stood up at Monticello to say something in defense of her father. Many of her auditors were Mo- kfnley girls-enthusiastic Mckinley girls.
 In their enthusiasm they almost forgot that MISS Bryan was among them. They had flags, and they cheered for Mckinley and ratified with much vigor Miss Bryan colored with feeling, and when she arose to speak her cheeks wers red and her eyes were bright. She told them that she had been much disappointed to learn that her father had come in second in the race for the Presidency.
 She was very sorry for her father, and she was very glad that Mckinley to have his full measure of eight years It would close the account between himself and her father right where it was, and she thought it was enough
 But she was not going to make any ex- cuse for MT. Bryan. She said he was old enough to make his own excuses. She had written him a long letter, telling him how sorry she was, and telling him, too that he must not feel too badly about 1t, for it could not make so much difference who was President of the United States.
 But Miss Bryan ended by saying that while she did not seem glad, she was not mad, and she urged the Mckinley girls to have all the fun they could.
 Miss Bryans clever speech won for her many rounds of applause.

by the Braunig Dramatic Company. In speaking of their performance, the savan- nah News says:
 "The Braunig Dramatic Company gave two excellent performances yesterday to good audiences. .The Iron Master" was the afternoon bill. "A Social Highwayman" was presented at night. The latter play, especially, was an ambitious effort for a repertoire company, because 1t is not only a play that has been done by stars of mag nitude but is play which requires artis-

 It does not go beyond the bounds of jus tice to say that the play was excellently done. MT. Coffin as Jaffrey, the highway man. was better than he has been in any other role, and gave a really fine portrayal. MT. Powell, MT. Leekins and MT, Wesner were all themselves. Miss Mitchell was all that could be expected, as Elinor Burnham, and Miss LeMoyne and Miss Zenobia cared for their parts in goodly fashion.
 'The honorS were evenly divided in the specialties by Sammie Brown and Burt Wesner. Both appeared to advantage, and the songs of both and monologue stunt of MT. Wesner were enjoyable features"

A Hint to HousehoIders.

From the New York Herald.
 Snow in Chicago and small brizzard raging elsewhere and cold wave on the way to New York, the thoughts of the householder turns to his furnace.
 While there is yet time every fue which carries heated air to the radiators in the various rooms from the furnace should be thoroughly ceansed of the accumulations of dust before the fire Is lighted.
 Many persons think that when all the pipes in the cellar are put In good order no further care Is needed, and the ordinary plumber is surprised at order to cleanse the hot-air fiues, which otherwise would carry the accumulations of impalpable dust borne on the heated draught into the room.
 Coughs, thought to be the result of cold caught in the open air, are frequently caused by inhaling this heated and poison Ous dust.
