HON. MILES CANNON MAKES
A BIG HIT At SUNNYSIDE
Addressed the Old Settlers Meeting
and Highly Plea S ed Them-The
New Officers Elected.

Sunny Wash, Feb. g. 1904
The old settlers held their annual
meeting at the |. o. o. F. hall on We'd
nesday evening, which was attended by
The first part of the evening a fine pro-
gram was rendered, those taking part
being Mesdames B. K. Atkinson, f. +.
Firson. Geo. Mathieson, Miss Vida Doug
las. Mr.. NJ ID. Clark introduced the
speaker of the evening, the Hon. Miles
Cannon of North Yakima, who was one
of the early settlers of this place and for
whom the old settlers have a tender
spot in their hearts. As usual, his re-
marks were both interesting and anus
ing. In his closing remarks he told the
people how to be happy, which caused a
hearty laugh. Perhaps no other speaker
could please the people of Sunnyside on
this occasion as Mr.. Cannon, as he knows
most of them personally and has their
interests at heart. He is man of
imposing appearance and impressing
personality. The closing number on the
program, The Pioneer" was read by
VIM. Hitchcock, editor of the Sun, in his
usual pleasing manner. Then came the
supper, which was most excellent one,
as usual, one to which all did ample
justice, while they talked of the old
times. The officers elected for the COM
ing year are l. l. Brown, president; JAS
Henderson, vice president; B. r. Akin
son, secretary; G. w. Vetter, treasurer

GENERAL NEWS NOTES
FROM THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Basketball Game with EIIensburg next
Friday-Washington's Birthday
to be Observed-Briefs

The silver badge given for spelling
by Superintendent Jollcy has been
awarded in the fourth grade, in which
there was tie and new list of words
given ont to decide the contest. 1t was
won by Miss Florence Cook of the Cen
trail school who correctly spelled As

rating of 90 Her paper shows that she
evidently misunderstood what one of the

memorial services in all the city schools
on the afternoon of Washington's birth
day, one week from next Monday. Spec
ial programmes of patriotic exercises
will be prepared, consisting of recita-
tions, music and other appropriate cere-

JAPANESE ENJOY BATHING.
Take Baths Hot and Cold and Dispense
with Anything Like
Clothing.

From time immemorial the bath.
tub has been an honorable institu,
ton in Japan. Instead of cold
dip in the morning, the Japs take
their baths hot in the afternoon,
at about five o'clock, and, begin
ming at 100 degrees, the tendency
is to raise the temperature as one
becomes acclimatized, so to speak.
One traveller, says the Chicago In
ter Ocean, tells of the Kawarayn
bathers, who stay in the tub for
several weeks at a time with stone
in their laps to keep their bodies
from floating while they are
asleep.
The usual thing is to have the
tub on the lawn with charcoal
fire beneath it, so that one can get
into the water at so degrees and
sit in it until it reaches 100 degrees.
AT this point "griffin," which is
to say newchum, greenhorn, or
a tenderfoot, usually has to get
out, for it becomes literally too
hot for him. But, after a year or
two of practice, he can manage lis
or 100 degrees. The Japs them
selves can enjoy a bath even at 12S
degrees.
A traveller tells an amusing
tale of how he visited japanese
friend on at home day and accept
ed the offer of a bath on the lawn.
He got in when the water was tep
id and enjoyed it immensely up to
ninety something. Just as he was
thinking of getting out his friends
wife and daughter put in an ap'
pearance and began to wash rice at
Il we'll near by. Now the regula-
ton bathing dress OF Japan is ike
a fOotless stocking without leg,
or a bunghole without a barrel
around it, and our traveller hadn't
it with him at the time. He en-
dured another five degrees, and
then, with death by boiling staring
him in the face, he was forced out
with an involuntary yell that at
tracted much attention.
The fact is that in Japan every
body bathes in puris naturalibus.
It is their way, and it is not until
European has lived among them
or years that he or she realizes
hat, after all, there is nothing
-ery terrible about it.

SOUTHERN GLEAN!NGS.
One Way of Committing Suicide.

Grieving over the death of her hus-
band, Mrs. Annie Miller McCargo met
horrible death at Olive Branch, Miss.
Mrs. McCargo was well known through
the state, having conducted the princi-
pal hotel in Olive branch. and when
her husband, Attorney W. H. McCar-
go, died suddenly the shock unsettled
her reason. Mrs. McCargo saturated
her clothing and hair with kerosene,
and proceeding to the principal street
in town, struck matches and applied
the blaze. When the Mortified specta-
tors reached her she fought them off
and it was not until three men came
up with blankets that the flames were
extinguished. Then it was found that
Mrs McCargo was past relief, death
ensuing in a few hours. Though I'M
doubtedly suffering severely, Mrs. Nc
Cargo uttered no moan, and not
word passed her lips after the fright
full catastrophe.
