Burned. Two Men Drowned.


Special to the HERALD:
Elma, March 27.-Elma has capitulated
this week to pretty schoolma' ans and
pedagogues OF the masculine gender, and
the hospitality OF the town is taxed to its
utmost for their accommodation. The
entertainment committee has succeeded
in housing them all comfortably in the
hotels and private residences, the citizens
generally throwing open their houses for
the welcome guests.
An informal session was held on Mon
day forenoon, during which time the
teachers were enrolled and greetings ex.
changed. Promptly at l 80 p. m. County
superintendent Williams called the in
stitute together. He assigned to the
teachers the numbers to be used in roll
call, and then said that every teacher
who was tardy five minutes would be re-
ported to the state superintendent, and
any teacher being absent from the insti-
tute for one day would not receive pay for
that day. The program for the afternoon
consisted Of the following: Music in
the School," by Principal w. T. Walton,
OF the Elma schools; Literature in the
Grades" by Superintendent G. l. Kerr,
OF the Aberdeen schools. Intermission.
Reading, Neglected Study" by Mics
Frances Hays, and Requisites to Sue.
cess" by State Superintendent Bryan.
These subjects were all we'll handled In
the evening Hon. r. B. Bryan, state
superintendent, gave most interesting
address on Education as an Economic
Problem" After Professor Bryan's ad-
dress Mayor O'Donnell made some felicit.
Gus remarks and was followed by
masical program. All then proceeded to
tire dining room Of the Odd Fellows hall
where an excellent banquet was spread
and the rest OF the evening was given
ever to social chat.
A Boy Killed.
Earl McCollum, the l4-year old son of
llr. and Mrs. jeff ID. McCollum, met a
shocking death at John Hartman's log
gng camp, four miles south of town,
Tuesday. The boy. whose parents live
atthe mouth of the creek upon which
Mr.. ! hartman is logging, was at the camp
looslra on at the work of the donkey
engl'e th"t-was drawing log along the
skid road, when the hook pulled out of
the log and the heavy cable went whirl-
ing through space and struck the boy on
the head, carrying away all that portion
OF the head above the ears, killing him
instantly. The part OF the head cut off
was carried away, and the strictest kind
OF search failed to find it. The boy was
born and raised in the vicinity OF Ema,
and The bereaved parents have the sin
ceresympathy OF this community in their
sad lffliction. The funeral took place
yesterday, under the auspices of the Odd
Fellows lodge, of which the father is a
