| Speaking Of spelling brings me
10 one Of my numerous hobbies.
Just at this season Of the year and
at the close Of the school year
there is an epidemic of protest
against the bad spelling of the

that a:dong the many fads indulged
in by some OF the educators is the
one that spelling may be learned
IN ih" reading lesson and all thro'
the other lessons, but protest
against that theory. eOncede the
wisdom Of progress, but there's no
book like the old. fashioned blue
back spelling book, that begins
with the abs aud the chs, shady,
lady, mp to the great jawbreakers.
I | haven't seen that book for twenty
years, but can now see with my
eyes shut that procession OF words
on The right hand Of the page. |
am glad TO see This subject attract

the State Normal schools with
list of one hundred aud fifty words

examination only forty per cent. |
succeeded in spelling 100 of the |
words correctly. This matter was |
discussed at the Teachers Associ.

But one can never say too much or
too often anything that will make
parents, teachers aud pupils real

STARVING FOR RELIGION.

Ottawa. Ont. Nov. 1.-Inquiry in official quarters in regard to reports from the west about the Doukhobers elicits the information that there is ( humber of them, probably a thousand in all affected with religious mania. They are going from village to village among their own people, and it is said that they are likely to arrange to meet in some central place, probably at Yankton, to decide upon what they are going to do. The Doukhobers believe it to be q sin to hold domestic animals in restraint. and they therefore have turned their cattle and horses loose upon the prairies.
 They will not wear leather shoes or any clothing produced from animals, and the men and women have been yohng themselves to the blow and wagon. A large number of their horses and cattle have been seized by the gov ernment and sold at public auction. The amount realized, about $20, 900, will be used to take care of the families when the winter closes in.

THE FOOTBALL GAME
High Schools New Sui's Dragged in
 the Dust by NOrmals.

Score Normal, 8; High School. 0.
 With banner. colors. and spirits away ID, the football team from the Tempe -ormal. accompanied by several hun lred supporters. with terrific Jung ca ,acity, came over yesterday and at Cast Lake Park defeated the team rom the Phoenix high school with th9 lboVe score.
 It was great game-for the normal the high school boys were badly beaten and greatly surprised. Nearly Il the girls, over 1O0, came over from he normal, and with gay football col ITS, red and white, accompanied by the normal color, old gold. they did no title amount of cheering for their heroes.
 It was sweeping victory all through ne game. and it was simply a hard natter for the Phoenix team to keep he score against them from piling up beyond calculation.
 The work of the normal team was Xcellent, the team work was Q unity. md the man with the ball was thus siven Q clear field. The high school id some excellent individual work. put it was plainly evident that their interference CT team work was fail re. At no time was the normal goal danger, and the game was almost on2tantly played on high schood ter 'itory, with alarming nearness to their -oal.
 The high school boys have material or an excellent team, but they lack he training and were a trine the ighter. The normal team has been raining for but about three weeks. put they applied themselves diligently turing that time. They were Very,reg- liar with their practice, and took the )est athletic care of themselves, said nothing. but worked hard. The team s under the management O; C. M. Pad 'Ock and Will Woolf is their captain. nd he has proven himself capable He las played quarter back for the team or several years, and though a light nan, is one of the best football men in he territory.
 Clay Parker, manager of tho univer- fly team at Tucson, is in Phoenix, nd will arrange for his team to meet oCal teams. He wishes to bring his cam up here next Saturday. and an- louncement will be made later of the arrangements if successful.

by the Merchants band and the Forbes orchestra, and the chairman of the meeting was J. T. Priest. The first speaker was Hon. T. C. Job of Prescott, who after a general talk upon the is sues of the campaign confined himself to discussion of the statehood ques- tion, in which he again punctured the bubble which Mark Smith has been suspending before his hearers in this valley. He showed the utter hopeless ness of securing statehood for Arizona by democratic victory and he also re- futed the islander which democratic speakers have uttered about the demo- cratic members of the senate. Tho senators have unequivocally declared themselves to be in favor of statehood, and MT. Job believed they would be honest enough to live up to their declara tions whatever might be the political complexion of the territory to be admitted. But the making of states, the speaker said, did not lie with the democratic senators. The territories must look to the overwhelming repub- lican majority.
 Judge Kibbey, republican candidate for the council, closed the meeting with an able address given to local affairs.

DEMOCRATIC CLAIM.
Of a Majority of Twenty in the Nes;
 House.

Washington, November 1.-Chairmdn !. NJ. Griggs of the democratic con- gressiOnal committee tonight issued the following final statement:
 'The next house of representatives will have democratic majority of n1r less than twenty. How many more than this we shall have can only be de- termined after counting the vote polled on Tuesday next. It depends largely as every election does. on the weather and other conditions which cannot be forecaSted.
 "The republican leaders have until recently been complaining of pathy. For the last day or two for political purposes they are claiming that they have overcome this to large extent and are faint-heatedly predicting sue cess. Reports to us do not indicate that this is true. Republicans every where appear listless and even careless of the results. We find that our demo- cratic friends are wide awake and alert in every district in the United States. '

They were told the mine was dangerous. but their eaScrness for information as to tho physical features of the various mines was so great that the unsafe condi- ti2n of the workings did not deter them from entering. There were no special incidents in the trip below ground. and the tour was much the same as those taken in other mines on the two pre- ViOus days.
