SHOULD GIVE VACATION.
supt. Dyer Advises Two'Day Rest at
Thanksgiving.

To Teachers and School Oficers-Gr eel
ing:
The school condition Is certainly
very gratifying in most parts Of the
county.
The "Award Certificates" for twen-
ty-days regular attendance is proving
to be more than was expected for it.
| On November "a, Is and 26 at Sa-
lima will be held this 22nd annual ses-
sion Of the North Central Teachers
association.
As superintendent l wish to urge
as many OF our teachers and school
officers as possible to attend this meet
ing one or more days.
Reduced rates 4have been secured
upon all roads upon the certificate
plan, and the people of Salina have
promised to furnish entertainment
at very reasonable prices.
l believe that the school districts
will find it to their advantage to al
low their teachers full pay for Thurs
day and Friday Of that week provided
that they attend this meeting.
Every worthy teacher will bring
back added vigor and strength to the
school room. The higher intelligence
OF progressive teachers spreads be-
nigh influence upon all pupils en-
trusted to their care. Certainly time
and money spent in preparation for
such noble ends will prove good in
vestment.
This meeting will prove an excel
lent opportunity for all young people
to make a profitable visit to our sis
ter city.
Trusting that teachers and school
officers will each lead their aid to
bring the educational interests Of the
county to the highest degree Of eff
cheney. lam, very truly yours,
B. DYER,
OF Pub. Instruction.

Suicide at Spokane.

Spokane, Wash, Nov. 10.--The re-
mains of William W.Sweezy have been
shipped to st. Paul, MINI. accompan-
led by his wife.
Mr.. Sweezy committd suicide Mt his
residence by shooting himself through
the head with revolver. His wife
was down town ut the time, but arriv-
ed home while her husbands pody was
still warm. The cause of the suicide
is said to have been partly the result
of rapidly failing health and partly
the result of worry over charge that
had been made against him of having
had part in the burning of the hotel
in Harring ton, Wash. to get the insur-
ance money. Indications are that
Sweezy was inooent of the charge, but
in poor health and nervous state of
mind, he probably brooded over the
matter until self destruction was the
outcome.

CHAPTER Y.
Bitter Prospects,,

The storm had continued throughout
the day and arose at night with renew
ed fury. 1t was common thing to
have weeks OF storms at this season of
the year and the sun rarely ever showed
itself. But every storm was the
'worst" and the Oldest ind v dual
would verify the fact.
1t only goes to show how quickly
people forget even the unpleasant
things of life. A month of rain and
sleet and snow last year, which at the
time was declared unbearable, is for
gotten in the spring sunshine and when
another winter storm comes, although
mild compared with former ones, it is
record breaker while it lasts and the
complaint is long and loud
But such is the way of weak, frivolous
humanity. 1t was sunshine yesterday
is storming today and tomorrow will
be whatever the temperament suggests.
1t amounts to nothing anyway; forever
complaining forgiving, expecting, be-
ing dsappoint, d and disappointing 9TH
ers; Yesterdays friend is today's enc
my; in the deepest poverty and dis
tress yesterday, rich and happy today
After all the mind is the weather vane
in life's short span of time and the
tongue the thermometer. Whatever the
mind conceives is SO, and the tongue
indicates the state Of the mind. Life
is storm or sunshine just as the mind
makes it, and the wagging tongue re-
cords the impression.
But whether in reality it was the
midest or most severe storm in the
history of the fishing village on the
north banks of the Columbia, in the
mind of one it was the darkest hour of
her life. The wind blew louder, the
rainfall on the roof was more rasping

are dead from diowning or otherwise,
except one of the witnesses that signed
the instrument. He has got foolish
religious ideas in his head and is try
ing to make trouble. I had my book
keeper give him 500 and send him to
the Sound, and that may quiet him.
But the transaction is beginning to
cost me something. Bumbo, the law
yei who drew up the deed, was stand
ing in with the other fellow in way
and had to employ him yesterday by
the year. He doesn't cost much, 1t
is true, but it all counts in the end
when you are not certain they consider
themselves paid in full.
"But only have to keep this mat
ter off about three years more. Dan
Laphsm is the only heir. He is now
nineteen. If he neglects to take action
for year after be comes of age he losee
all his rights under the statute of linn
itations."
"How about the gillnetters, hus-
band?" inquired Mrs. Seadog.
"Well, fish are getting scarce on their
side Of the river. They are scarce
everywhere, fol- that matter. But
since the government jetty was built on
that side, the fish run in larger schools
on this side. The gillnettters claim

threatening to destroy my traps and

will patrol the river and keep the
south-siders back.
"The only trouble, though, is that
the state may take up the matter, and
induce the United States government
to make a survey. This will cost me a
number of traps or neat sum to the
surveyors. These two are matters Of
magnitude, but the Chinese importa.

"And Dan Lapham-well, he is a
daring devil. You know he tends q
trap alone. Although he can swim like
trout. the single boatmen are lost
sooner or later"
The conversation had lasted until
long after daylight. The husband and
wife were suddenly interrupted by one
of their sons.
"Haves you heard the news?" he
asked as he entered hurriedly, and then
without waiting for reply, he added
Gone fishing boat went down near

VlAD|vOSTOk WELL GUARDED
A SECOND PORT ARTHuR-HAR.
Dor Is MINED.
Garrison Is strone-Europeans Are
Not Leaving-MaiI Trains Arrive
and Depart From the City Every
Day-Immense Supply Of Coal on
Hand.

Chefoo, Nov. S.-As the result OF
months of preparation Vladivotsok is
now strongly protected, according to
Captain Halvorsen of the Norwegian
steamer fungus, which, as told in
these dispatches last evening. arrived
here five days out from that port with
700 Chinese refugees, who were unable
to live at Vladivostok any longer ow-
ing to the high prices of food and other
necessaries, due to the war.
Captain Halvorsen says that the
Vladivostok system of Notifications be-
gins many miles outside the city prop.
er and grows stronger as the city is
approached.
Ships laden with food, cannon, am
, munition and all sorts of military sup
plies frequently arrive at Vladivostok,
according to Captain Halvorsen, who
says that five ships engaged in un-
loading their cargoes were In port
when the fungus sailed.
The captain is unable to estimate
the strength Of the garrison, but he
says that everybody at Vladivostok
seems to be either an officer or an
ordinary soldier.
I The European residents of Vladivo-
stok show their confidence in the Sc
curity Of the city by evidencing an
unwillingness to leave it.
If the Japanese make an attempt
to capture Vladivostok it is the be-
lief of Captain Halvorsen that they
will find it to be second Port Arthur.
Captain Halvorsen says that he be-
lieves submarine boats have arrived
at Vladivostok, but adds that he Is not
positive in this belief, for the reason
that at present the Russian naval Sc
crets are being most closely guarded.
The harbor of Vladivostok, he says,
has been mined for distance of seven
miles. In four miles of this area
contact mines have been laid. while
in the remaining three miles electric
mines have been planted.
Mail trains arrive at and depart
from Vladivostok every day, and there
is now stored there an immense sup
ply of coal taken from mines in the
neighborhood Of the city.
