Death Of Winifred White.

Miss Winifred White died Sunday
morning, January "a, 1904, at the
home OF her father, +. A. White, near
ElReno, Oklahoma, of pneumonia,
after lingering illness of nearly a
month. The sad intelligence was re-
ceived by Audubon county relatives
Sunday afternoon.
MISS White had been teaching school
near her home during the fall, but
in the holiday vacation had accepted
position in an ElReno mercantile es-
Establishment where the varying tenn
perature gave her u severe cold which
developed into pneumonia, terminal
ing fatally.
The news OF her death came as
shock to her many friends and rela-
tives here. She had great capacity
to make friends, and seemed to live
more for others than for herself. AS
a teacher she was regarded as one OF
the most successful in the county. The
door OF every patrons home was ever
open wide for Winnie and she always
gave word OF cheer and left ray of
hope. 'She had been an enthusiastic
church and Sunday school worker for
over decade and during the time led
q consistent and practical christian
life. She always had desire for the
higher and better along educational
lines and largely through her own eff
forts she entered Drake university and
gra duated from the department of elo-
cution and oratory with the class of
1902. She was preparing herself to
continue these studies in other and
higher institutions when the summons
came.
Winifred White was born twenty
four years ago in Wapello county,
Iowa, and came to Audubon county
with her parents in 1883. She taught
school in the county for several years,
and was graduate of Drake univer-
sity. She went to Oklahoma in 1902
and has since made her home there.
Burial was at ElReno the fore part of
the week. The community extend SYM
patty to the family in this aflliction.

THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.

oI any business TO anyone who en-
cages in that business for profit.
Much knowledge of the details of an
occupation may be obtained by ex-
perience, much can be learned by in
terchange Of thoughts among those
engaged in the same line of business
and the object of holding farmers in
stitutes is to bring the. farmers of the
locality together and afford them an
opportunity for business intercourse,
to discuss theories, describe the meth
DDS they have employed in some of
their operations and state the result
thereof. In addition to the benefit
possible to be derived from the rela-
ton of their various operations, in
structors, men who in addition to
practical knowledge of the farm, have
pursued the study of different lines of
farm work from the view point of the
scientist and have become experts in
some branch of farming or matters re-
lating thereto.
The program and dates of the insti-
tute for 1904, appear elsewhere. The
topics assigned for the first day are
of practical interest and will be dis
cussed by our own people and we
hope they will give us the benefit of
their experience and knowledge.
On the second day Prof Wayne
Densmore who has made study of
the caee of live stock and is connect
ed with the stock department of the
Iowa State Agricultural College, will
address the institute on the care, man
agement and feed of live stock.
On Saturday the third day of the
institute Prof. p. G.. Holden also of
the State College who has devoted
many years to the study of corn, in
the school laboratory and field, will
continue the work so ably begun by
Prof. Atkinson in our institute of 1908.
Probably better program would
have been prepared had more interest
been taken in the preliminary work
of the institute, but as very few at
tenden the meeting called to arrange
the program, those who did attend
were compelled to do the work with
out assistance. We have assigned
the topic Of, Interesting Farmers
Wives in Institute Work. to GER
tain ladies and hope they will give us
some advice of practical utility and
hope they will influence other ladies
to come, not oni%.to hear them but to
assist them in the discussion. We
wish to make the institute interesting
and instructive not only to the far
mers but also to the home makers,
and if we can secure the attendance in
the future of one half as many far
mers' wives as we last year had of
farmers we will have an institute in
which we may we'll take pride.

Season of Recitals.


This is undoubtedly the season Of re-
citals. Music teachers have been busy
presenting their pupils for the final con-
cert of the year.
One particularly pleasing event OF the
week was the last recital Of the season
on Wednesday by pupils Of Miss Grace
Osgood given in Northwest Temple.
Miss Osgood had given two previous re-
citals. both highly successful The stu
dents who appeared on Wednesday even
ing were a credit to themselves and in
structor.
The real success OF the program was
accredited TO Russell MCGEE. young
pianist. who promises to develop into a
fine musician. He played Schumann's
Knight Rupert" and the "Capriciotto"
OF Jungm an with amazing skill and tenn
permanent Hearty applause was given
by an audience which was manifestly
not expecting such good work from such
a little fellow.
Miss Ella Moore in two compositions
by Bullak. The Clock" and Mill BY
the Brook" exhibited marked dexterity
and clarity OF tone. Miss Carrie Moore
also chose the same composer, and heI
reading Of his The Little Dead Bird
and Grand Parade" were among ths
conspicuous numbers.
Miss Lottie Gibson was another i'm
portant contributor with fine work in
Schumanns "Reaper's Song" and Hunt
ing Song" The double number by Miss
Mabel Moore was heartily appreciated
other pupils who appeared TO much
advantage were Miss Edith Leesnitzer

WILL RECEIVERS
JUDGMENT STAND?
Question Affects District
Employees.
WATSoN'S LOAN ASSOCIATION
Commissioners Asked to Compel Stock
holders to Pay Certain Dues
Charged on the Books.

Will the Board of District Commits
sioners take a step toward paternalism
IN office and compel certain employees
of the District Government to pay to
the receivers of the defunct Corpora
tive Association various sums of money
which the receivers of the association
say the employees owe them2
This is the question that is now being
asked in the Engineer Department and
among the employees of the Health o.
fee. where these alleged debtors work.
It is known that the receivers have asked
the Engineer Commissioner to compel
the payment of the claims, all OF which
are for small amounts. Ii is also under
stood that Colonel Biddle Will not de
eide the matter alone, but will call INTO
consultation his brother Commissioners.
Managed by Watson.
This association, which was organized
and largely managed by James NJ. A.
Watson. now indicted by the grand jury
for the embczzIenent of about $3.50
from the District. made loans TO the en-
ploycs. and these loans. with their re-
turn. were recorded by Watson.
Some months ago the receivers for the
association obtained In justice of the
peace court. Judgment against the en-
pioyes in question. The alleged debtors
claim. however. that the judgments
were given against them on the sole
evidence Of Watson's books. which, they
say. were manifestly inaccurate and
badly kept. They have fled with the
commissioners, through their attorney.
a Ieftwich Sinclair, papers claiming
that the Judgments were erroneous.
Deny the Claim.
The alleged debtors to the association
claim that they do not owe the money
as charged. that they did borrow the
sums set forth. but that they paid them
back, and that Watson failed to record
the return of the money. They also
question whether the Commissioners are
vested by law with the right TO COM
pei them to make the payments
