It is not true, as recently stated, that
the chief of artillery has made any
recommendation lately that the 18th
and 92d companies. of Coast Artillery,
now on duty in Honolulu. T. H, be
withdrawn to home stations. Such a
recommendation as published in the
Journal at the time, was made by the
chief of artillery about a year ago, but
as it was not then favorably received
it has not been renewed. The chief of
artillery would like to have these com
panies withdrawn. but for the present
there does not appear to be any pros
pect that such action will be taken

Miss McKennon is graduate of the American Mozart Conservatory of Music. She was also a student of Gallo way College and a teacher of Piano at Gainesville, Ark, We feel sure that those wishing Instrumental Music can do nc better than arrange to begin at once, thus getting a good start before the regular opening of the school.
 All those who expect to take Instrumental Music of any kind this Fall should see the President of the Ozark Normal and arrange to take this extra Months work. If you expect to learn a thing 1t will pay to learn it right.
 We have taken great pains to learn the tuition rate of most of the successful Normals and Colleges in the United States and have made rate just little lower than any of them. We are sure that the experience of others proves that First Class work can not be done at lower rate of tuition. We do not expect to in vest thousands of dollars in build ings, apparatus, and equipments, employ d strong force of teachers and then compete in "cheapness' with the subscription teacher who is furnished public School building free and has little or no apparatus and no incidental ex- pense. In schooling as in any thing else you generally get just what you pay for an no more. The best is cheapest in the long run always. Having made care ful preparation to do high grade of work, to advance pupils rapid ly but above all thoroughly, we ask your hearty support and CO., operation. We will take pleas ure in answering questions or eX- blaming the plan of the school at any time. For further inform alton call upon or address the President.

Rates Are Not Excessive.

The Worlds Fair Press Bureau has furnished THE TRIBUNE statement which says that rates for board in St. Louis are not at all excessive. It says:
 The Worlds Fair has been in- jured more or less by the publi- cation of grossly erroneous state ments regarding the cost of living in St. Louis. Gradually these false reports are being refuted in the press and by word of mouth, as visitors from far and near come to St. Louis and find that living accommodations are remark ably reasonable. There are scores of restaurants where an abundant and wholesome meal may be had for 25c, and there are scores of hotels where lodg- ing at S1.00 a day is the prevail ing rate. Thousands of private families, in the best residential districts of the city, have opened their homes for the entertainment of Worlds Fair visitors, at rates for lodgings from soc up per day. For S1 .O0 an excellent room may be had in a most respectable neiphborhood, and there are many boarding houses and pri- vate dwellings where lodging and breakfast may be obtained at from S1.O0 to S1.25. Rooms taken by the week, or occupied by two or more persons, are rented at still lower figures. Naturally, one may find hotels in St. Louis where the rates are as high as those usually prevailing i'll New York, Chicago, or any other large city; but the fact remains that m view of the great Exposition that is now running in full swing the average rate of living in St. Louis is surprisingly low. Any report to the contrary is made either will fully or through ignorance. That the Exposition is already d splen- did success is attested by the unqualified words of praise which it receives from distin- guished visitors hailing from all parts of the world, ana from the fact that the st endance is doubling with each month of the Fair.

 Then, there is that ever un- known quantity in national elec- tlons, the independent, restless voter, who holds the balance of power in many states. No party has a monopoly on him. He may decide that a change is necessary and he may not. You can tell better which he will do after the election.
 This is the situation as we are inclined to see it at the present writing. We do not apprehend there is going to be a great ca lamity befall the country in the event of the triumph of either of the parties. Roosevelt and Par ker are both clean men and either would make a safe chief execu- tive.

More About the Singers Union.

EDITOR IRIBUNE:-lf by so doing l do not encroach upon your space 1 would like to add a few thoughts in connection with the articles that have already been written regarding the uni formity of the grade of music used by the "Singers Union" in their semi annual contests.
 If 1 understand the object of this Union it was organized for the purpose of aiding, encour- aging, and upbuilding of the study and consequently improv- ing the rendition of vocal music i'll this section of the country, an object honorable an effort worthy of loyal support, so long as the real object is keptin view.
 We trust, too, that every mem- Der will realize as much and not only keep this object in their own view but exert their influence to bring it before others in 8 way that they too may become inter- ested and be of assistance to us in carrying the work on in 8 successful manner. It is a work that most anyone can engage in and by so doing not only prove themselves a benefit to their com munity, to the society in which they move, but at the same time realize benefit themselves.
 Vocal music is in it's very nature healthful, instructive, elevating and entertaining. It is said by Loudon to be Gods best gift to man; the only art of heaven glv- en to earth; the only art of earth we take to heaven" Then, taking this view of, or even in part this view (for 1 do not want to be classed as an extremlst) Of the science we who may be ln- terested in it's promotion have a reasonable excuse for being thus interested and feel justified in encouraging others to become like interested.
 Growing out of the fact that some few classes are further ad- vanced in the study and eX- ecution of music than some others wishing to participate, it seems a slight difference of opinion has arisen among some of the most earnest workers associated With the work.
 This we trust will soon pass away without any friction that Will tend to retard the progress of the Union.
 While it is a fact, probably de- plored by some, that this differ ence of ability to properly execute music, especially of the more difficult grade, does exist we yet fail to see the propriety of any class (even though they be be- ginners and probably lack some what in practical training ana experience) staying away rom these meetings and by So doing denying themselves the oiIerea opportunities for improvement. l we are inclined to think that they should get in. line and increase their efforts until they have sur mounted any difficulties that are gre seemingly in tneir way. 0 course, none of the classes are perfect: yet some may De Ill a 6etter state of training than others, enabling them to make some better appearance ana exc cute music of higher grades.
 This, however, sno0'o ~
