Editor st. Tammany FARMER.
The entertainment at tho Pythian
Hall last Saturday evening to raise
funds for the purchase Of desks and
seats for our little "Red School House"
was grand success, and In spite Of the
intense heat, the large hall was crowd
ed to the doors. The doll drill, COM
posed of 20 little girls, conducted by
Mrs. 0albraith, and the fine vocal solos
BY Mrs. Faures, and Messrs. Barber,
Christie and Master VIM. Couret, were
fully appreciated by the large audience,
and the cornet solo by Mr.. James Bon.
not brought down the house with such
viRor, that had our talented friend, Mr..
Bonnet been 9 steam !calliope or . per-
petual motion machine, he would have
no doubt been playing the cornet yet
to satisfy the popular demand.
The chorus, "Hearest Thou" by
Misses J. Grant, E. Ribava, H. Gnrdere
and Messrs. F. J. Keller, Chas. David
and Michol Mugnier, WAS q rare treat,
90 was the violin selections by N. and
o. Weiss and G. Moledoux, also a reci-
tation by Miss Maud Weightman.
The precision Of the little ones In the
drills, and the singing and Rotations
BY the pupils OF the public school were
an agreeable surprise to the parents and
friends Of the boys and girls of Mande-
Vile, especially the performance OF
Master Leonard Brooks, who recited
1.-THE Small Boys Ambition" with fine
effect.
It is believed that the universal in
terest shown in this initial movement
for some improvement for the comfort
and convenience of the school children
will lead to still greater interest aud
moro l,berality In future school appro-
priatiops for tho maintenance of the
public schools Of the town.
The committee who had charge Of the
entertainment desire to earnestly thank
those kind friends who SO generously
supplied the refr ,ehmeht tables, and
stili others for cash contributions.
The net result Is not yet accurately
known, but 1t is safe to say, will reach
over eighty dollars. ANON,

HERE'S AsuGGEsTIoN.
Would Have ConvIcts Manufacture Voting
Machines.

Topeka. Oct. 21.-Assistant Attorney
General Clayton believes that the cum
bersome ballot as provived for by the
new election law will hasten the day
when Kansas will use voting machines.
Under a law passed two years ago
voting machines can be used now, :"
said he, ''but on account of the high
price no municipality, township or
county feels financially able to buy
them. Why can the state not manu-
facture its own voting machines at the
penitentiar Let the Legislature give
bonus of So, 900 for the right to use a
voting machine in the state. Some
factory would sell it's right to the
patent i'll this state. Then the con-
victs could make the machines and the
state could furnish them to the cities
and townships at cost. This would
not bring convict labor in competition
with free labor in the state, because
Kansas has no such factories. 1t
would take about 5000 machines to
supply the state. This would keep the
convicts busy for couple of years"
