SCHOOL SUPERIN1FND.
FNTS MEET

The convention of county superin-
tendents of schools from all the coun-
ties in the state will meet tomorrow,
probably at the Hotel Spokane. II
is thought that practically all of the
superintendents in the state will at
tend the convention.
Matters of general importance will
be considered by the convention. One
of the most important questions Is
the one in reference to uniform text
books throughout the state. There is
a set of books which has been adopted
by the state but the schools are allow
ed at present to supplement these
with books Of their own choice. The
result is that there is not the uniform
it, which is desired. 1t is also hoped
to modify the list of text books at
present used and to make some sub
stitutions.
The convention win also consider the
question as to the disposition of school
lands. There is a divided opinion Ms
to whether the school lands now held
should be sold.
The session will last three days.
Much of interest, both to the superin.
tendents and school directors. will
come before the convention. The aim
of the county superintendents is to
have uniformity throughout the var
ious counties Of the state.

SHOOTING SOLDIERS
FOR ExCESSES

VIENNA, June l.-One of the prin-
eipal difficulties of the Russian generals
in command of Russian armies in 81
IBERIA and Manchuria is that of man-
tanning adequate discipline among their
own men.
The Russians soldiers are at their
best mi-barbaric Asiatics and at their
worst full-blown savages. The majority
of them can neither read nor write
and are addicted to excessive indul-
gence in vodka. Many acts of vio-
lence have been committed by the
troops on their way out to the scene
of hostilities and after their arrival
in the far east.
In order to check excesses. the Rus
sian officers have been obliged to adopt
measures of extreme severity, and SOL
diers who have been guilty of serious
breaches of discipline have been sum-
marily shot in the presence of the
regiments to which they belonged.
Batches Of disorderly soldiers have
been shot at Irkutsk, Harbin and 9TH
er important military stations.

BETTING STAND UNDER
GRAND STAND

The directors Of the Interstate Fair
association will meet this afternoon,
being brought together as a result Of
the fire which last night destroyed
the grandstand at the grounds.
The loss is estimated at from $4,000
to $4,000. The main grandstand
represented an expenditure of about
$4,000. All the monster tents which
were made several years ago at a
cost of several thousand dollars were
burned. Their value had greatly de-
preciated. Tent poles, fair grounds
paraphernalia. tools and lumber were
destroyed, besides the betting stand
and the judges stand.
Manager Cosgrove said this morn
ing he supposed the insurance was
about $4,000, but that it had not yet
been figured up.
1t Is the intention to rebuild at
once. 1t is possible that the betting
stand will be placed under the grand
stand. The loss Of the big tents is a
loss of ono means of conducting
downtown night show and makes
that problem still more difficult to
settle.

Some Of the choicest scrapes on
