humane SOCIETY
TAXES ACTION

The following resolutions OF re-
spect to the late F. d. Chamberlin
have been adopted by the Spokane
Hume society. Mr.. Chamberlin was
one of the most ardent members Of
this organization. His tender heart
rebelled at injury to dumb animals,
which he called his best friends, and
he rebelled at any abuse of them. His
efforts were largely responsible for
the good work done by the Spokane
Humane society and he had much to
do with framing and securing the
passage of the present law on the
state books of the state furnishing
cruelty to animals. The resolutions
are as follows:
Whereas, God in his infinite wis
dom has called from among us Fred
erick D. Chamberlin, an honored and
useful member and officer of the Spo-
kane Humane society, who has con-
tributed to it's success by word and
deed; and,
Whereas, He has labored faith
fully and without desire or hope of
earthly reward. devoting his time,
means and labor to alleviate the suf-
fering and better the condition of the
dumb creation, quietly and without
display or ostentation, playing well

On the l4tn day of June Thousands
of childish voices will sing the nations
praise; thousands of childish tongues
will spell out our nations greatness;
thousands Of youthful hearts will burn
with loyalty and patriotism; thousands
of eager eyes will kindle at the sight
of "Old Glory"
For it is Flag day, the children's
day; yes, and the children's flag!
The first known recognition of Flag
day was in the New York schools on
June IA, 1889. At that time Prof Geo.
Bouch, the head of the free kinder
garten for the poor, established the
custom. After this time it was adopt
ed by the board of education.
On June IA. 1894, III years after the
adoption of the Stars and Stripes, the
governor of New York ordered flags
to be arised on all schools and public
buildings. Since that time the day
has been regularly observed in the
schools of most cities and villages.
The governors interest was quick
ened by the efforts of the Sons of the
Revolution, and to this organization
is due much of the credit for the es-
Enlistment of this custom.
The Sons and Daughters of the Rev.
olution and the Colonial Danes have,
since that time, used their combined
energies to bring about in the public
schools general recognition of the
important day.
In Denver Flag day has been sub
stituted for a general Sabbath school
outing.
This sturdy little patriot is not alone
in her loyalty. Not alone in her pride
in bearing her country's colors. Rich
and poor, Gentle and Jew, Catholic
and Protestant. black and white unite
in this expression of their devotion to
the American flag, which means for
all, Freedom, Religious and Political.
On this day tongues of all accents
and hearts of all beliefs sing the
melody of love for the Stars and
Stripes.
1t is her flag. dear little patriot!
And she loves it!
Blessings on her head, the patriot
in curls and pinafore!

PICNIC At MATAToRTuN PACK,
WITH MUSIC, SINGING, SPEAK
mo DANCING AND SOME
THING TO EAT"

Bring something to eat! That's
the main thing; something to eat"
So said ]. M. Grimmer when asked
this morning what is the object of
the pioneers picnic.
The Spokane Pioneer society will
hold its eighth annual picnic Thurs
day, June Is. at Natatorium park.
At 3 o'clock the tables will be filled
with something to eat" After the
luncheon there will be a program in
which the pioneers will take part.
Judge L. H. Prather is president of
the society. He will open the pro-
gram with a short address. Jesse
Buchholz will sing. Miss Hazel Grim
mer will recite. Miss Bertha Hollway
will sing solo. after which Judge
L. B. Nash will deliver a Commute
address. Miss Rose Prather will sing
a solo.
A. G. Ansell will deliver a 10-min-
ute memorial address. During the
past year some of the pioneers have
died and Mr.. Ansell will pay trib-
ute to them. The last number of
the program is entitled "Remin-
iscences." They will be limited to 10
minutes each. On the program J. M.
Grimmer. John T. Davie, H. T. Cow
ley "and others" are down for tales
from the old and forgotten past. If
the members bring enough to eat
and manage to get the speakers in
good spirits the tales should be more
than interesting.
After the program the afternoon
will be spent in the park. At 6
O'Clock the picnickers will commence
dancing at the pavilion. The dancing
will last until 10 o'clock.
Who Are Pioneers.
Mr. Grimmer was asked what made
a man a pioneer.
"A man is a pioneer who was here
in November, 1884," said he. 1T was
at that time that the first city char
ter for Spokane Falls was adopted"
The pioneers met last Thursday
evening and elected the following Of
ficers for the coming year: Presi-
dent. L. H. Prather; vice president,
M. M. Herman; treasurer, ]. M. Grim
mer; secretary. 8. L. Alexander.
"The pioneers meet but once or
twice year." said Mr.. Grimmer. I'VE
meet to keep alive the memory of old
times. Our annual picnic is the main
gathering Of our society"
The society was formed eight years
ago. 1t was due to the efforts of A.
J. Ross that the first annual picnic
was held. He was the moving spirit
behind the society.
1t is expected that between 200
and 500 people will attend the picnic.
A general good time is expected If
everyone follows Mr.. Grimmer's ad-
vice and brings something to eat"

METn0DIsTs TO CARE
FOR HER

PORTLAND. Ore, June 13.-The
name of Mrs. Jane Abraham, widow
of the once wealthy James Abraham,
has been stricken from the pauper
list of the county, and hereafter she
will be cared for by the members Of
Centenary Methodist Episcopal
church, to the building Of which her
late husband subscribed so literally.
The Rev. w. B. Hollingsworth. pas
tor, has informed the county court
that the church will support Mrs.
Abraham, and hereafter she will want
for nothing. Mr.. Hollingsworth said
he had not been informed Of Mrs.
Abraham's destitute condition.
Members of the church deny the
story that they had deserted Mrs.
Abraham, or that it was necessary
for her guardian, H. X. Sargent, to
apply to the county for help. Mr.
Sargent said he was actuated by the
best of motives, and that he did not
make the appeal until he had become
tired of the dilatory tactics Of the
church people.

SUMMER SCHOOL
OPENS
IN WHICH THEY FAILED AND
AMBITIOUS ONES NAY MAKE
UP oRApEs,

Summer school started yesterday
in the higgh school annex, corner Of
Fourth avenue and Washington street
The school is conducted by the Misses
Weisman. who for the past three
years have held a summer school.
This year there is an unusually large
attendance.
At the opening yesterday 63 pupils
appeared ready for work 1t is
thought that so or more will attend
the school this summer.
The children come from all of the
grades above the third. Miss Ger
trude Weisman, the eighth grade
teacher at the Lincoln school, is
teaching the eighth grade this sum-
mer. Miss Frances Weisman, seventh
grade teacher at the Lincoln, is
teaching the same work at the annex
The other grades are taught by Miss
Sara Weisman, principal of the Field
school.
The seventh and eighth grade
classes are much the largest. The
school will remain in session eight
weeks.
Before children are allowed to at
tend the summer school it is neces-
sary that they secure the approval Of
their principals. Children who fail
ed in one or more studies during the
last year may take the summer
school course and make up their
work. 1t is also possible for children
to make up grade during the sum-
mer.
The children, upon passing the ex-
aminations given at the summer
school. are usually promoted with
out further examination, most prin-
cipals accepting the grades and rec
concentrations Of the summer school
teachers.

What the Br0WnloW Bill Will do
for the Farmer.

A bill has been introduced In Con-
gress by the Hon. Walter P Brown
low, of Tennessee, and the Hon. ia
cob H. Gallinger, member OF the SEN
ate from New Hampshire, appropri-
ating $24, 900, 900 on the part of the
National Gov eminent as National aid
in building wagon roads. This mon
ey is to be apportioned among the
States according to their population,
except that no State shall receive less
than $3.50, 900. OF this sum Ken
lucky will receive 5000, 900.
F. Each State receiving National aid
from the Government must add like
amount to the sum received. This
will, therefore, cause the spending Of
$4S, 900, 600 for roads and will build
from 6, 900 to 1000 miles of splendid
road and will place in each State from
100 to 500 miles of fine hard road,
which will not be affected by frost or
spring rains and on which the farmer
can haul the year round. 1t will be
great advantage to those living near
it, but 1t will be far greater advan-
tage to the whole country because it
will be a wonderful object lesson and
will prove to everyone that a good,
hard read which can be used the year
round, no matter what the rains are,
Is good and desirable thing; 1t will
make everyone who sees this road
and uses 1t, want more roads just like
1t to be built.
While under the Brownlow Bill the
building OF 5000 or 1000 miles OF
splendid road is a great thing, yet 1t
seems to many that the greatest adj
vantage of this bill is the wonderful
obi ect lesson which 100 to 500 miles
OF fine road will produce when built
in every State in the Union.

Great is Young Mr.. Beckham.

Those who have oeen making a
study OF the career of the dashing
Governor of the Commonwealth will,
when they read his letter to his friend
the Hon. Eli Brown, Speaker Of the
House, again be astonished at the
wonderful political acumen OF this re-
markable young man.
Every since his entrance into Ken
lucky politics, which may be said to
to have begun In earnest when he be
came the beneficiary of the gigantic
theft which robbed the Republican
party OF the State Office, under the
infamous Goebel election law,
Mr.. Beckhan has been doing things
that have attracted attention and
marked him as patriot and savant
OF The forty-eight Calibre variety.
When Cantrill SHE'D into the ring
and stampeded the Senate on the
school book bill and also showed that
Gov. Beckham's strength In both
Houses was not enough to make up
list of pail bearers, the far-seeing
young politiclors at once arrived at
the conclusion that Blackburn's toga
would not only not fit him, but that
he had become so attaceed to the GU
bernatorial robe he is now wearing and
had grown so fond OF 1t that he did
not want to shine in the new tangled
Senatorial outfit any how.
OF course a more obtuse and less
modest man would not have seen 1t
that way and undoubtedly would have
further pinned to illuminate the Ma
tional Upper House, but when Mr..
Beckham cast his practiced eyes over
the handful of his faithiuls in the
Kentucky Legislature and saw Can
trill scooting up the Legislature pike
with the bit in his teeth and all the
solons holding tickets on him, his
wisdom manifested itself and he de-
clared out of the race.-Lexington
Leader.

stirred up the Senator from Scott.
His speech In the Senate denouuc-
ing the administration methods and
promising, If probed, to tell more in
side facts about school book trust
checks issued to members for their
support, gave large coterie of DEM
ocratic folks case OF dry grins and
they at once began to warm up to the
Senator from Scott, and almost before
the words of his sensational speech in
the Senate ha died out of the ears of
his hearers, Cantrill found himself in
the rude glare of the calcium lights.
Friday he followed up his lead by
stampeding the Senate on his school
book measure and the Beckham fol-
lowers are now viewing Cantrill with
alarm, and those who heretofore have
been luke-warm in their support of
the administration, have cooled off
sufficiently to be approached without
danger, and are ready to dare any
body to touch the Scott county terror.
