AT THE COURTHOUSE.
The Scheduled Reception Got Lost in
the General shuttle.

There were so many attractions elsewhere
last night that the Rebekah reception at
the courthouse was lost sight of. During
the evening several Odd Fellows with their
wives came to the courthouse and asked
about the reception, but no committee had
been there and none of the rooms was
opened All of the Superior Court rooms
are prettily decorated with long streamers
and festoOns hanging from the balconies.
The three stands at the east, west and
south entrances also had a deserted appear
ance and the clerks shivered In their
scanty raiment they waited for an occa-
sional customer 1t has been the intention
to make the courthouse one of the principal
headquarters of the guests while they are
in the city, and all of the entrances have
been blocked with these stands to place
eatables at the elbow of hungry visitors.
Members of the order have charge of the
stands.

Capital Council DepIores the Death
of the President.

The members of Capital Council. No. 276,
Y. NJ. l., at their meeting last night adopted
the following resolutions expressing their
sympathy on the death of President Nc
Kinley;
Deeply feeling the grief which has come
upon ourselves in like measure as II mas
fallen upon all of the loyal and patriotic
citizens OF our country, the members Of
Capital Council No. 276 of the Young Mems
Institute are impeled 10 express their sor-
row in our cOuntTy's bereavement which
we feel as a personal bereavement TO our
selves as citizens Of the great Republic. As
loyal citizens and members Of an order
whose motto is Pro dec, pro patria, we
feel poignant grief in the untfmely death
Of our beloved President, William Mckln-
ely. at the hands of an assassin; While
plunged in grief and sorrow, the bitterness
is assuaged by the Christian fortitude dis
played by our martyred President during
the days OF suffering preceding his death.
We rejoice. IN the midst or our grief, tnat
death was robbed of it's sting by the pure,
simple life Of our President and his beautt-
full devotion TO Christian teachings and his
implicit unfaltering faith in the goodness
and mercy Of God, evidenced by his COM
plete resignation to His vii! in the hour
of his greatest suffering and within sight
Of deaths portal
Though feeling, to the uttermost, the
loss TO ourselves as citizens of our bereaved
country, we are not unmindful of the in
hnitely greater loss and the more poignant
grief Of the loving widow, who has been
deprived of the tender care and loving
consideration of a noble and pure-hearted
husband. Feeling our inability TO clothe in
words the fullness of our sympathy for her
who has been the helpmate and companion
Of our martyred President through all the
varying fortunes of life, from the humble
lawyer, soldier and patriot to the exalted
pinnacle OF fame as statesman and Presi-
dent, we can but say that our hearts feel
for her a depth Of sympathy that our
tongue or pen cannot express. We are, in
this hour of grief, reminded that it is a
beautiful thought that a merciful God Of
love never affiicts beyond our strength to
bear, and it is a comforting knowledge that
Christian womanhOod as typiied in the
widow of our martyred President, is the
enduring safeguard of nations well
homes"

On Saturday, May II, the people of
North Yakima will vote for a school di-
rector to fill the place OF Director d. Nj.
Shanks, whose term expires. 1t is ex-
pected that none but good and substan-
tial citizens will be put up for this Of
flee. and those who have the interests of
the schools at heart should vote for
none but worthy men. Already six
names have been suggested to fill this
position. cash one OF whom can be
trusted with the important duties de-
volving upon the office. These men are :
C. IL. Bartlett, Frank Horsley. w. A.
Bell, w B. Dudley, O. A. Fechter and
Rev. II. NJ. Bartlett. The latter named
gentleman was former member of the
board. The list is good one to draw
from, and voters will make no mistake
in casting their ballot for either OF them.

While the whole eastern part OF the
United States has been experiencing
heavy rains and snow storms and finally
floods Of destructive nature, the North
west country has been smiling beneath
the bloom of beautiful spring, with all
its vernal freshness and glory. The
robins have been singing for two months
past, the lark has long since built its
nest, the frog is ready to quit its croak-
ing, and the pink and white blooms OF
peach, apple and pear have been falling
this long time like varigated snow; the
sage brush has taken on its summer
hue, the grass is green upon the mead
ows and profusion OF dandelions, wild
pinks, larkspur and thousand and one
other delicate springtime flowers grace
the oft brown hills around and fringe
the roadways with beauty and fragrance.
What more delightful land could there
be than this, with its warm winds and
snow-capped mountain peaks, and crys-
tai rivers, studded with cottonwoods,
and green wales and rich valleys; and
above all things else an industrious,
happy people? There is none.

battle alone, as it were.
After the game, which passed without
a hitch, the normal school building was
thrown open and grand reception was
rendered the visitors. Games and sports
of all kinds were indulgedin in the gym

ulty OF the normal entertained the WIS.,
itors in royal style and gave them such
treatment that return trip is eagerly
wished for by all those who were pres
ent. This was the first time the normal
had been thrown open to visiting ball
teams, which is taken as marked re-
spect for the Yakima people. Before
leving return game was arranged to be

THE GOVERNOR IN TOWN.
John R. Rogers and Wife Visit North Yakima
For Sunshine.

Governor John r. Rogers and wife
stopped off here this week on their way
home from a visit to the state institu-
lions in the eastern part of the state.
They arrived on Tuesday morning s
train and departed for Olympia on the
Wednesday morning train. The COVER
nor was on a tour of inspection with the
state board of control. They visited the
Walla Walla penitentiary, the asylum
at Medical Lake and the Cheney nor
NAL school.
During their stay in North Yakima
they were the guests OF Attorney II. j.
Snively, the close political friend of the
governors. The governor was taken
about the city and surrounding country
and was very much pleased with the
abundance of sunshine on this side OF
the mountains. He said good word
for Yakima and reiterated his sugges-
tons. as given in his last message, about
the establishment OF farm at this place
for all the charges OF the state, and
thought such an institution should by
all means be established and located in
Central Washington. He called on his
many old friends, paid his respects and
said kind words. But above all he said
the reason why he always liked to come
to North Yakima was because he was
sure to be in city where he would not
be besieged by Office seekers.

HIGH SCHOOL An EASY WINNER
The Ball Game at Ellensburg Saturday Was
Feature of the Year.

The baseball nine of the North Yak
ina high school went to Ellensburg last
Saturday and defeated the high school
nine of that city by score of II to 8,
besides capturing honors worthy of their
efforts, and came back with loud praises
of the treatment received at the hands
of the good people OF the capital Of Kit
titas. The game and trip was an event
of unusual interest in school circles and
has resulted, if nothing more. in Great
ing friendly feeling between the schools
OF the two cities.
The visiting team was accompanied by
about IS girls and boys OF the high
school and their friends. They We're
chaperoned by Mrs. Ella Stair, who was
assisted by Miss May and Miss Heller OF
the high school and Prof. Dickson Of the
Columbia School, all OF whom played
the part OF experienced ''rooters" to
perfection
At the Ellensburg station the party
was met by committee who introduced
them to the city and opened the way
for a royal good time. The club was en-
tertained at the hotel at the expense OF
the Ellensburg team, while the accom-
panying visitors were made to feel at
home in other quarters. The game was
begun at p. m. and was played through
with unusual interest, being enlivened
occasionally by the college yell OF the
visitors, led by the redoubtable Mrs.
Stair, who went in to win at all odds,
and she succeeded, with the aid OF her
assistants, in carrying the day. Both
sides played well, but the Yakima boys
were in better trim for the contest, be-
ing supported strongly and yaliantly by

coaches that in 1901 an act of parlia
ment was passed Ito restrain the ex-
cessive and superfluous use of coaches
within THE realm" In spite Of this in
nova,ion, no method could be devised
which made locomotion pleasant
through streets which were alternately
torrents of dirt finding their way TO

black mud, which furnished ready

us to picture London without either
