Plans to Change System
of School Elections.
MOVEMENT ON FOOT IN SPOKANE
It Is Desired That the Voter May Mark
His Ballot in Privacy-Strike at
the Ward Workers.

If the agitation which has been
started in Spokane is carried out a re-
vision of the manner of conducting
school elections will be materially
changed in this state.
What is desired is to give the voters
at the school election the same privacy
in making out their ballots as a voter
has at a general election. 1t appears
from the Spokane Chronicle that at the
recent school election in that city many
Of the voters were subjected to much
annoyance by having half a dozen
boosters for the various candidates
peering over their shoulders to ascer-
tain who they were voting for. Many
unpleasant incidents are reported and
entirely new system of voting at such
elections. What is wanted is to have
the voting places supplied with booths
the same as at the general elections
from which the boosters will be eX-
Guided, and where the voter can quiet
ly mark his ballot and then vote it
without having it subjected to the
inspection of some heeler for a candi-
date. The new law might also call
for an official ballot.
This matter is to be taken up before
the Spokane board of education. If
the school board has not the power to
make the necessary change, it is pro-
posed to take the matter before the
next legislature, and an attempt made
to secure Legislation along this line

ON RECORD FOR HISTORY.

The rain. sleet and snow storm
extending over a period of two
days, and coming to an end Thurs
day morning, was the worst storm
ever experienced in this section oil
the country on April 2Sth and 29th,
within the memory of the oldest
settler.
The storm commenced Monday
night, after an unusually warm dav,
and strong south wind blowing.
1t commenced with rain. The
climatic con,lit ols grew colder.
Tuesday vas very cold, with rain
and s'eet Ealing at various times.
Tuesday uight about the same con-
ditions prevailed. Wednesday morn
ing it was cold enough to- turn the
falling rain into snow, but until
noon this melted about as rapidly
as it fell. In the afternoon the
snow made some progress in GOV r
ing the ground, the. weather having
grown still colder. After four
o clock the storm was genuine
blizzard and it continued until after
ten o clock. When Thursday morn
ing came the sun looked down on d
snow covered land-the snow an
inch or more deep, and with ice
formed on water pools, in places
nearly an inch thick.
All garden truck that had peeped
through the ground was destroyed.
Farmers say that the small grain
sowed during April was not in
jured, the snow having acted as a
safeguard.

BIRD AND ARBOR DAY.

Gov. Van SAINT has set apart May 1st
and calls it "Bird and Arbor Day.
What shall we here in Redwood coun-

teachers and pupils, let us do some
thing on that day. Let us rake and
thoroughly clean the school grounds.
Let us plant at least two good trees.
Let us protect them, too. Fully IS per
cent of our school grounds in this coun-
ty are treeless and beautiess. Let us
reverse this old barbarous condition.
Our school grounds should be and
ought to be our beauty spots in every
township. They can be if you so will
it. What boy or girl, of each school
now in session will send in to me re-

the Company's service. Again, = the
young man who came to this country
over thirty years ago, penniless and
friendless, and who, during the first two
years, earned only $500, working beside
a tank foul with the smell of oil; but
to-day, there is scarcely drop of oil
consumed in this country which has not
been purchased from his stupendous
organization, the Standard Oil Company.
In another walk of life, we see at the
head of a great college, man who
chopped wood to pay his way through
school.
The great captains of industry of to-
day were the poor boys of thirty years
ago. 1t was not wealthy parent nor an
influential friend who started these men
on the road to fortune; they made their
own opportunities they fought their own
battles; they have won.

What is that irresistible force which has
enabled them to overcome all obstacles,
to surpass their fellow-men? Every am

secret. He believes that honesty, So
briefly, perseverance, and determination
are essentials in the foundation on which

more than these mere prerequisites if he
would achieve conspicuous success.

successful men will tell you that they all

THE SWEDISH QUINTETTE.
The Unexcelled Five to Appear at the
Opera House May 14th.

We are seldom privileged to an
nounce a company of such promise
as During's Swedish Ladies Quin
tette for the opera house, May 14th
Organized and trained by Edward
During, a noted musician of Stock
holm, this quintette has, for the
past ten years, been considered by
the best critics to be as near
absolute perfection as can be at
tanned. Especial stress is laid npon
the high quality of the voices, the
fine training and precision of their
singing, the elegant execution and
we'll studied ensemble, and the sur
prising skill of their unaccompanied
renditionS. AS one critic says:
In these sony productions there
lies, which is generally so rare, a
pure artistic intuition and an es-
peciallv wonderful discipline as a
background, and they work in an
artistic unity which is fiawless and
brilliant. y Another critic calls
them ''an art quiutette which aims
at beauty of tone, richness of sound
and delicacy Of shading" Another
says "They would be an ornament
to any prominent philharmonic con-
cert. - Such praise is Very rare
and shows better than anything the
artistic standing of the quintette.
The ladies are personally of fine
appearance, which is enhanced by
their picturesque national costumes.
They sing in English, Swedish and
German.
Speaking of their appearance at
Berlin, Germany, the Berlin Lokal-
Anzeiger says: "a quintette of
Swedish songstresses made, some
evenings since, an extraordinary
sensation in the Apollo Theatre.
The Five Durings, as the ladies
call themselves, in their second |
appearance, sing Swedish and Ger
man quartets and quintets, original
melodies, in a manner most sug-
gestive of home. But what es-
pecially distinguishes the ladies,
and places them far above the best
of similar organizations which
Styrian Russia and other countries
send to us in recent years, is the
academic training and precision of
their singing, the modesty of the
distinguished form, which avoids
all coarse or sensual means. Finally
the classical shading of tone in
the single voices, which without
particularly conveying the impress
sion OF being high, seek and find
their strength in the delicate
texture of toute ensemble, so that
soprano and contralto, in finest
accuracy, serve as foil to each
other. So we hear the bell-like
chord. over all distinct organic,
entirely pure, artistic uniformity.
The five Durings would be an
ornament to any prominent phil
harmonic concert. In the senti-
mental numbers sounds an emo
tional tenderness the comic, a
dramatic power. In these song
productions there lies-what is gen
orally so rare-a pure artistic
intuition and an especially wonder
full discipline as a background, and
they work in an artistic unity
which is fawless and brilliant.
