Married, at the Baptist church in
this city, on Wednesday, March 8, 1904,
Mr.. Juan Remona Martinez, of Month
cello, Utah, to Miss Rumaldita A.
Gonzales, of San Jauan, Utah, Rev.
Hill officiating.
The contracting parties arrived in
town on Tuesday in search of n protes-
tant minister to speak the words that
would make them man and wife. They
were not very particular and said that
either Baptist or n Methodist minis
ter would do but they preferred the
former. 1t so happened that DIR. Hill
Of Mancos, had just returned from
Cortea where he preached Monday
evening and was preparing to leave
for home on the noon train. He was
interviewed and persuaded to remain
over another day until Il trip could he
made TO Cortea and marriage license
procured. The ceremony was sol
emnized at II o'clock "Wednesday
morning in the presence of Il few
friends.

they have made n mistake i'm the selec-
ton of a teacher they did not do so
willfully. They are doing the best they
can with the limited amount of money
you have intrusted to them for school
purposes. No good is accomplished by
throwing every obsticle in the way Of
their performance of n thankless task
at best. The place to rebuke unsatis-
factory school directors is at the polls.
The first duty of every school board is
to faithfully uphold the teacher i'll
everything she or he undertakes for
the betterment of the school under
their supervision. There are to be
found i'll nearly every district men who
have never given the above plan trial.
But if they would, we would not only
have better schools, less fractional
strife and best OF all, by SO doing they
would be helping the children to help
themselves .Iara Chronicle.

The Editor Of the La lara Chronicle gives
Parents Plain Talk.

Since the district attorney has called
attention to the fact that the complll-
sory school law is not being enforced,
it seems opportune to mention some
causes for there being persons in our
communities who are amenable to this
law. Parents and guardians are to
blame for the truancy of children. The
parent permits the child to disobey in
little things in the home without being
corrected. As the child grows it be-
comes more and more rebellious against
restraint or discipline. This rebellious
spirit, allowed to grow in the small
child, is rapidly developed after he en-
ters the public school, He chafes un-
der the necessary rules and dicipline of
his teacher. Regards the tasks of the
school as too eNacting, the rules too
rigid, the teacher too severe. He is
constantly Matching up excuses for be-
ing absent from school and he carries
all sorts of petty complaints to his
parents. AS he grows older he becomes
more aggressive He incites his school
mates to little disturbances in school.
He detests his lessons; he rises up in
open rebellion, deties his teacher and
becomes truant-a fit subject for the
reform school. The parent docs an
irreparable wrong by not enforcing
strict obedience at home, as nine times
out of ten the child who is made to
mind Mt home will yield without
question to any reasonable requirement
of his teacher. But the mistakes of
many thougtless parents do not end
here. They take up the cudgel against
the teacher in behalf of their misguided
offspringj making bad matters worse.
They sesn to regard the tdnther rs II
comnibn eneitiyi an hggrcssor against
their rights and privileges. This is all
wrong. Almost without exception the
teachers in our public schools are hon
estly and earnestly endeavoring to
help those placed under then, to ac-
quire all the knowledge possible in the
limited time given them thht these
pupils tthy be the better equipped to
fight the battle of life. Teachers are
poorly paid class at best. And why
misguided parents and pupils should
be in constant warfare against those
employed to help them to IL better con-
dition is a puzzle in human nature the
writer has never been able to solve. 1t
is not an uncommon sight in this
country to see man explaining to Il
cashier in Il shame-fnced manner that
he cannot write his name on the check
he is presenting for payment. 1t is
pitiful sight. All lie knows about the
happenings OF tliis busy world Of ours
is what someone tells him. And if we
could hear the Thoughts of that man
we would find him Secretly cursing
his parents or guardian because they
did not compel him to attend school.
1t is the plain duty Of each parent to
enforce authority lit home, insist on
constant attendance at schobi and
strict compliance with its rules. Stand
Loyalty by your board of directors. If

PrOsser Pointers.

Hon. Nelson Rich met with an accident
Sunday that might have resulted seri-
ously, but was fortunate enough to es-
cape with few bruises. While endeav-
oring to mead off horse in the barn
yard the animal jumped clear over him,
its feet striking him on both thighs.
Mr.. Rich was knocked down and suf-
fered considerable pain for day or two
from his swollen legs, but is congratu-
lating himself that he has no broken
bones. C. w. Baker has bought two
sections of land in Horse Heaven, near
the anderson ranch, of Mr.. McMasters
of Portland, on the crop payment plan.
He has them both seeded and is now
hauling lumber to build barn on the
place, 76x20 feet, and also a three room
house. In addition he has contracted
to build eight miles of fence around the
land. Besides doing all this work, Mr.
Baker has contracted to break three
sections of land next year at $3.50 per
acre, so it will be seen that he is a
very busy man. He says that the wheat
on his home ranch is an inch high and
that the prospects for a big crop were
never better at this season of the year.
He says that geese are very plentiful
at his home ranch where he is prepared
to entertain sportsmen.-Bulletin.

YOUNG WIFE SHOOTS HERSELF.
Mrs. Nordling's Act May Have Been In
tended-Husband Claims Twas
Accidental.

Last Tuesday morning Mrs. Nordling,
the wife of farmer living four miles
south of Toppenish, shot herself in the
breast with revolver and died within
a few minutes. 1t is not known whether
the act was premeditated, or whether
the woman mad picked the weapon up
to examine it and discharged it acct
dentally. Her husband disclaims any
reason for suicide on the part of his
wife, and says that she was in an I'M
usually happy mood on the morning her
death occurred He states that she
opened the drawer to get something that
was in it while he was yet in bed, and
that he Immediately heard the shot, and
turned toward her just in time to see
her fall.
Coroner Taggard went down and in
vestigated all circumstances in connec-
ton with her death. He decided that
beyond all doubt it was accidental, and
that an inquest was uncalled for. Mrs.
Nordling was but twenty years old, and
was the daughter of James Jensen of
Tacoma. Her remains were shipped to
that city last Friday.

Bouldin Challenges Gotch.

Frank Gotch, the champion wrestler
who did some wondrous stunts in North
Yakima during the past season, recently
won a match from yankee" Rodgers
in Cleveland, Ohio, and was at once chal-
lenged by Bouldin, the "Cuban WONDER
who is looked upon as one of the COM
ing wrestlers of the world. Gotch ac-
cepted the challenge for a straight
catch as ca tchcan match for a side bet
of $500, the winner to take entire bet
and receipts. Gotch is sixty pounds
heavier than Bouldin, but the latter
thinks his science and speed will offset
the Buffalo mans weight. The sport
ing fraternity of Cleveland are said to
be putting their money on Gotten.

THE VICTIM OF HIS FRIENDS.
H. B. Deust Unknowingly Furnishes a
Turkey for a Feast.

| III. B. Doust came as near eating crow
when he was eating choice quality of
reservation raised turkey last Thurs
day night as a man ever did. 1t came
about in this way: Tom Fisher, Mr..
Doust, Jack Shaw and few other con-
noiseurs sent down to c. w. Smith, who
is known to raise some of the finest turk
eys in the county each year and order
delivered last Wednesday, and for con-
venience We're all left at Mr.. Snaw's res
idence. Jack notified the others that
their turkeys were at his house, and
now Mr.. Doust wishes he had taken his
away at once.
Wednesday afternoon a travelling man
for casket company, a Mr.. Parkhurst,
by nature and by the influence of his
occupation one of the iolliest knights of
the grip on the road, blew into town. f.
L. Sessions happened to tell him about
the turkeys. and he Immediately put up
a job on the unsuspecting reat estate
man. As consequence a messenger boy
soon took a note bearing Mr.. Doust's
| alleged signature, to the Shaw residence
asking that the bearer be given Dousts
turkey. 1t was Immediately handed ov-
er, and as soon as it reached the plot
tiers was taken to Yakima evenue res
taurant and was prepared for the feast
that had been planned for Thursday ev-
ening. Then number of congenial
spirits were invited in. and among them
was Mr.. Doust, who accepted the invi-
tation to a feed in good faith and inno-
cence. The Others in the party were
Tom Fisher, Jack Shaw, z. Y. Coleman
W. Fl. Patterson. f. L. Sessions. Judge
Taggard and the casket salesman, Mr.
Parkhurst. Mr.. Doust was invited to
carve the turkey, and graciously con-
descended to perform that duty. AS
soon as he has started to separate the
remains, the boys, after jollying him for
awhile with mysterious hints, finally
came out fat-footed and told him ne was
carving his own turkey. His protest and
denial met with the written order upon
which the turkey was delivered; his feel
ings may be better imagined than de-
scribed, but it is safe to say he will
improve the first opportunity that pre-
sents itself for getting even

The members of the Yakima Horti-
cultural Union are taking lively in
terest in the coming meeting of the
State Horticultural association, which
viii meet in Wenatchee on the 4th, 5tn
and 9Th of January, and the members
of the union and all who are interested
in the present or future conditions
of the fruit industry in this section are

Pacific has lowered the fare to rea-
sonable rate, considering that the Yaki-

will be stopover of a night in Seattle.
1t is believed that the association will
not need any great amount of persuading
to decide on North Yakima as the next
place of holding the meeting. Spokane
has promised that her efforts will &c
toward helping this city get it for next
year, and in that case about all that is
needed is an urgent invitation from this
city. Walla Walla will doubtless be the
strongest opposition, as that city is de-
