Thursday afternoon 30 Rathbone
Sisters came up from Spokane i'm a
special car attached to 81. They
brought their degree team with them.
and in the evening Mrs. c. b. Kiops
was made a member of Syrina temple
of this place. Following the ceremon-
les ice cream and cake were served,
and music, singing and dancing helped
to enliven the occasion. The Spokane
visitors returned on the midnight
train.
DIR. Cunningham of Spokane and
DR.. Wenz of this place held a Joint
consultation and diagnosed the case
OF Henry Reiniger Wednesday and ar
rived at the conclusion that he had a
tumor, and that all hopes for his COM
plete recovery must be abandoned.
They were of the opinion that an OPP
GRAFTON would only hasten the end.
While Mr.. Reiniger's recovery is ex-
tremely doubtful he may hold out for
a long time yet, that depending on
the rapldity OF growth of the tumor
and the patients general condition.
There must be something radically
wrong with whoever fixed the dates of
the coming teachers examination and
the joint teachers institute, in that
the examination was ordered held at
Rathdrum, commencing August 30
and lasted three days, and the insti-
tute is called for the first week in
September at Coeur d'Alene. Thus it
will been seen that trip home and re-
turn is forced on those who attend
both. Another thing, the majority
Of schools in the county are compelled
to postpone their opening from Sep
tember 2nd to the 9th on account of
the institute.
