the communities of the county send
ing in the largest petitions asking for
an institute. We would like for the
petitions to state what subjects the
people of the community would like
to have emphasized; whether dairying
live stock, trucking, diseases Of ami
mails and plants, fertilizers, or gener-
al agriculture, and also about what
time in July or August would suit.
This campaign for the summer will

The Training School Closes a Prosper
Gus Session.

The three nights attraction at the
school chapel were highly interesting
and we'll attended by patrons and
friends of the school.
DR.. Brough's address was exceed
inly fine and we'll received.
The music of the pupils in Miss
Fosters class was well rendered and
showed careful and competent train
ing. The violin and cornet work re-
fiected much credit upon the teacher,
Miss Triplett. The instrumental and
vocal solos of the teachers were ex-
cellent as well also the vocal selection
of Mrs. Penn, who is a visitor in the
home Of the principal. Where all
was so we'll done it would be invidious
to name one without adding the names
of all.
The medal contests on the second
and last nights called out a large
number of our people. Miss Annette
Levy was the successful contestant
for the trustees reading gold medal,
while Mr.. Paul Linholm carried off
the honors in the contest for the
pastors gold medal. Everyone seem
ed perfectly satisfied with the decis-
ions in each case, e,and it was remarked
that the other contestants took their
defeat with exceeding grace and fe-
fictitious good wishes to the victors.
The graduating class consisted Of
three Of our brightest. noblest Young
people, Miss Ida Dobrowski, Mr.. B. S.
Beall, Jr., and Mr.. Joe M. Levy. The
mark required for graduation was as
it should always be, very high, being
an average Of ninety per cent. on the
four quarterly examinations. The
essays read by these pupils were uni
formly good and won the compliments
of all who heard them. We wish
them long and happy lives Of useful
ness and trust that they may now
enter college and win as signal hon
ors there, which we understand is the
intention Of some.
Now let all pull for advancement
next session over and above what has
been done during the present one,
holding up The hands Of the teachers
at all times to make the school the
best in all this section of the state.
Congratulations to the trustees who
have given us a good school and who
are ever studying how to make it |
better and better.

DR.. Brough's Address.

4 b 4
DR.. Chas. Hillman Brough, a pro-
fessor of the Mississippi College, de-
livered an address to the students of
the Lexington Training school, Tues
day night. Preliminary to the doc
tors appearance, Miss Lena Triplett,
Mr.. Joe Levy and Miss Annette Levy
entertained the audience with a beau
tiful piece Of music, rendered by the
two former on violins, accompanied by
the latter on the piano. While |
never studied clasie music, nor culti-
waited a taste forit, the music pro-
duced by these young peoples grace
full sweep Of the bow, corded to the
clear, full sound Of the piano, is good
enough for me.
DR.. Brough's address was inter-
spersed with fine poetical selections,
principally taken from Mississippi
authors, and kept his audience at a
high state of interest and expectation
from beginning to the end. The
doctor at times takes the lecture field,
and it is hoped he will make it con-
venient at some time to favor our
people with his lecture on Elements
of Success" on which he dwelt to some
extent, Tuesday night.
Gubernatorial candidates, 1t is as
sumed, are not running on their shape,
looks, or Chesteriieldian makeup and
appearance, but on their records as
wise, patriotic citizens and the good
they accomplished as legislators, or
in some other phase established a
claim as men who understood the
needs and wants Of the people and
had the courage Of their convictions
with the personal influence necessary
to enact helpful measures into law.
Hon. B. F. NoePs indelible impress on
Mississippi legislation will remain and
receive the grateful acknowledge
ments of the masses long after his
competitors have been translated to
some other planet. But for Mr.. Noel,
there would be no primary elections,
and trusts in Mississippi would run
riot. But for Judge Critz and Maj.
Vardaman the laws Of Mississippi and
our material advancement would be
just as it is, neither better or worse.
Both are nice companionable gentle
men, but it must be admitted that the
most, elegant and Chesterfeldian gan
tlemen are not always ftteo 2l -

Why were you not repeating pn
your recent stumping tour what ybu
said Of, the farmers and mechanics
and workmen IN your s+Ranchy LIE
and Hunting Trailssss, Va 70 tsrs.s.
You there said that although tbe
cowboys and roughriders might be
f''broken by weeks of brutal dissiba-
tioD," yet they are much better ffl-
lows and pleasanter companions thhn
small farmers or agricultural labor
ers, nor are the mechanics and wofk-
men Of a great city to be MENTIONED
in the same BREATH
/ If you will show your sincerity by
repeating on the stump what ypu
have said of free trade, of union
workmen and farmers, we will not ask
you about your sincerity as a civil
service reformer when you appointed
Payne and Clarkson to high Office, or
if you think it entirely proper for the
president, who every year must sign
many bills affecting the railroads, to
ride in private cars at the expense Of
these same railroads. 2
Words are good when backed up
by deeds, and only so,' as yoptold us,

 Rev. Pederson, the newly appointed pastor of the Douglas M. E. church, held his first public service last Sun day evening. Mir. Pederson is an interesting talker and views religious matters from the plain, common sense standpoint of the business world, as something that should be apparent in the life of the professor every day in the week. He says that he has came to make his home in Douglas and hls services are at the disposal of the people of the Island at any hour ofthe day or night that he can be of any help, professionally or otherwise.
 Last Saturday evening witnessed, the reopening of the Treadwell Y. M. c. A. building, with the additions that have been made during the last few weeks. In spite of the heavy rain storm that prevailed, the building was filled with people, many facing the elements all the way down from New Town. A mus ical entertainment and numerous games were introduced to pass away the even- ing hours. The establishment is by far the best equipped of anything of the kind in Alaska, and few towns in the States have anything to equal it. The features are diversified in their char acter, comprising library, reading room, baths, gymnasium, pool and billiards, bowling alleys, assembly and music hall, etc. The entire building is nicely painted and in charge of competent at- tendants, who keep it neat and clean. It is open to all Treadwell employees, who are mem bers af the association by virtue of the payment of s1 per capita each month. The fund for building and furnishing was advanced by the Tread we'll company as loan, which will be repaid as the money comes in. From time to time contests of various nature are inaugurated, as tests of skill and endurance, which keep up the interest. In this way many an idle hour is made interesting and, in sense, profitable. The Y. M. c. A. has come to stay and the workers at Treadwell are prepared to enjoy it.

Political Rebellion.

Republican politics has been the is- sue on Douglas Island for the last few days. It has been stirring up of dry bones. Every time convention is held in Alaska, Douglas Island is relegated to the shades of oblivion by the com mittee making the apportionment of delegates. Every little hamlet and mining camp in the District is given from to delegates, and Douglas Is- land with working population of2,O0O men is sidetracked with representa- tion of 5 or 6, or at the outside 8 del egates. Douglas Island has rebelled on this very proposition and is deter mined to have her full quota of repre- sentatives, at any hazard, based upon her population. A canvas of the Island has shown that this attitude is upheld by the voters. Primaries were called at both Treadwell and Douglas, pro- viding for the election of 15 delegates to the Republican convention, and the votes cast show that the contention for larger representation is not without proper support.
 At Treadwell the voting began yes. terday at the noon hour, and when the polls closed a total of 960 votes were found to have been cast, resulting in the election of the following ticket:
 JAMES CHRISTOE
