A travelling school of courtship, by
means Of which orphan girls reared to
womanhood in the institution which she
conducts in Plymouth, Ind, may be
provided with husbands, is the novel
scheme which Mrs. Julia e. Work will
put into execution next summer. says a
Laporte Qnd.) dispatch to the Chicago
Inter Ocean. Mrs. Work has already
got the details of her new home making
system planned. She is confident Of its
success.
For a number of years Mrs. Work has
conducted a refuge for ~parentiess boys
and girls. The problem Of providing for
the boys when they reached an age
when they could fend for themselves
offered no difficulties Of solution. But
the problem of insuring the future of
the grown up girls was n which Mrs.
Work always found beset with the
greatest difficulty. She has now under
her care more than Il score of girls who
have reached IL manageable age, and
It is to provide for these that she has
struck upon the travelling school OF
courtship scheme.
Out in the most sparsely populated
sections of the far west where women
are at a premium and man in his isOla-
ton yearns for a helpmeet and COM
| forter is where. she says, she will first
open her novel school. Thither in the
spring, when the poets say the heart is
most prone to subjugation. she will
make a pilgrimage with her flock of
marriageable girls. When a sutton ap-
pears and makes his choice his WORTH
ness will be put to the strongest tests.
Should he come up to all Mrs. Works
requirements she will buy the license
and pay the preacher. give the new
bride a little dot and her blessing and
transport her school to the scene OF
other c%onquests.
The girls whom Mrs. Work will take
with her into the west. she il deter
mined. will be in every respect efficient
home makers. The kitchen and the
laundry were their school. And. Mrs
Work says. the men who get them will
be lucky beyond their vainest dreams.
"This country is in need of wives WIN

Patent Leather out Of Fa.hio,

Patent leather has fallen into disfa-
vor among men who have the near
and inclination to follow the mode
through all it's whimsical windings,
says the H~aberdasher. The indiscrimi-
nate use of this leather for business
boots and ven for strictly negligee
boots has vulgarized it to such a de-
gree that 1t is now tabooed except for
dancing pumps. In place Of patent
leather boots are worn oiled calfskin
boots. which take a bright polish akin
to that of patent leather. The leather is
a peculiar grain, midway between en-
amel and calfskin. and. while very
smart looking. it hasn't the plebeian
glitter of patent leather. which is dis
tasteful to many men. Really it is just
calfskin subjected to a special process.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION

North Yakima, Wash, Aug. >, 1904.
Notice is hereby given that a delegate
convention of the republican party of
Yakima county is called to meet in the
armory, in the city of North Yakima,
Washington, on Saturday, August 81,
1904 at 1890 a. m. for the purpose of
nominating a full county ticket for Off
GERS to be voted on at the general cleo
ton to be held November, S, 1904. Also
to elect delegates to judicial conven-
ton and the selection of county CEN
trail committee to serve for two years.
Primaries to select delegates and al
ternates to the county convention will
be held in the several precincts on Sat

ATTEND THE PRIMARIES.

The primaries to elect delegates to
the republican county convention will
be held in the various precincts of thc
county on Saturday of next week. 1t
is time for the people 10 begin to think
about hem. They should resolve not 20
allow them to be controlled by the poll
ticians, which is especially true in this
city Last May in one ward in North
Yakima the polls were kept open but
ten minutes and many persons we're
thereby deprived Of the privilege OF vot-
ing and having voice in the selection
of delegates to the county convention.
This action caused Il great deal OF dis
satisfaction in the party, and il here
is an effort to repeat it, in any OF the
wards. it should not be permitted. The
politicians, a. a rule, do not care Tor Il
full, free and fair expression OF the vo-
ters at a primary; all they they are
working for l. TO secure the election Of
their friends as delegates, and it is too
often the case that they succeed. In a
large mea sure it Is often the fault OF the
people when they do; if they would
make it their business to attend The pri
naries they could not be manipulated
by the politicians. 1t was not the fault
Of the people, however, in the ten min
ute primary referred to in this city
last May; snap judgment was taken on
them, and those who could not be pres
emit when the polls opened found them
closed when they went up to deposit
their ballots ten minutes later Tho
Herald does not know that an effort will
be made to repeat this performance. but
If it is the people can defeat it if they
will turn out and insist tnat the polls
be kept open a reasonable length OF
time. Saturday night. when the stores
are open and the business men busy, is
a bad time for the primaries. but as
they have been called at that hour,
this cannot now be remedied The only
way to correct the error is for the peo-
pie TO turn out; they can ienrnd on it
that the politicians will be there in the
hope that they will be able to work
through their Jobs before the masses of
the voters arrive.

The press dispatches report that
George Turner, in the hope of securing
funds to make his own campaign in this
state, is representing TO the Wall street
trust magnates that Washington can be
carried for Parker. If he should make
such a statement on the stump in this
state he would be laughed out of coun-
tenance. 1t is Characteristic of demo-
Gratis to claim everything, but in spite
of this fact, none of them hope to defeat
Roosevelt in Washington. and they
don't claim that Parker has any chance.

support such measure. The people OF
this county want a commission, and no
man should be sent to the legislature
who is afraid to declare himself on the
subject The remarks of the Forum are
given below:
I'VE agree with Mr.. Fraser when he
says the way to get a commission l.
by electing republican members. This
is the only way. a big majority of tine
hold over senator's are republicans. and
it is safe to say that change of heart
has come over number of them rhcv
now believe that commission is the
thing. and it is being freely predicted
that the tenth session will pass such Il
measure. Senator Baker it is claimed,
is now a pronounced commission man.
and those who know his fighting quail
ties can expect some things to happen.
Senator Sharp was at the Donnelly Il
few days ago and speaking of Senator
Baker, said: 4 would prefer to have
any other senator in the entire body
than George Baker oppose my measure.
He Is the most persistent and success

is true that Senator Baker is for a COM
mission. the railroads might as well cap
itulate now, for commission will be-
come a law. There can be no quabbling.
George Baker saved the railroads in the
ninth session and in turn they, acting
through Walter Christian and the Pierce
county delegation. mercilessly slaughter
ed him in the state convention. where
he was Il candidate for governor"
