To promote interest in arithmetic,
and spelling, the county superintendent
expects TO hold q central meeting in

June, at which time. after a short pro-
gram by pupils from the different
schools, contests will be held for the
purpose Of selecting two representa-
tivss from the township to participate
In each OF the following county on
tests on educational day at Iowa Falls

8. Oral contest on spelling. over the
first ITO pages Of the Modern Spelling

It will be seen that as many, as eight
different pupils from zach township
may participate In the county contests
or the number may be smaller, as the
same pupil can compete in more than
one contest.
All pupils In Hardin county,, wheth-
err In schoo at present or not, who are
in eighth grade work. or below 1t, may
seek to enter the county contests by
competing in the township meetings.

the township meetings prepared to
try for a place In the county contests.

school work for exhibition.
A very fine program is In prepara-
ton for educational day. ind 1t Is
thought that the lectures. mus sic, read

to pass into history as the very best
ever yet held in Hardin county.

"The whole matter is an illusion. We

fact is something that can be proven,
and we cannot prove Immortality by
science or religion" Rev. Lummis
was raped to order.
Rabbi Sonneschien in closing his
argument, answered Rev. Lummis
and said he believed firmly with all
his heart in the Immortality OF the
soul and could prove to Rev. Lumrnis

fifteenth chapter OF Corinthians Of the
New Testament, the ource Of his be.

him even then and on his lips and
might not have liked SOME Of his
words, but there were words of some
Protestant ministers that he did not
like also. The rabbi explained his
last remark by saying that the n

Anon NJ. Thompson. who is now i'm |
the county Jail at Enterprise, Wal
Iowa county for bigamy, is one who |
cerning his case the last issue of the
Wallowa Democrat said:
"a NJ. Thompson, a recent arrival
in this county from Pendleton, was
placed in the county bastile yesterday
in default of $1,000 bonds on the
charge of bigamy. About two months
since, so the story runs, Thompson
came to Wallowa representing a ma
chinery firm and became acquainted
with Miss Nora Holmes, of Wallowa,
made love to her, and on the 9th day
of May married her at the home of
her brother-in-law claiming to be a
single man. But az that time he had
a wife in Baker county whom he mar
ried at Pendleton in September, 1908.
and who learning of his second mar
riage, commenced proceedings for his
arrest He was given hearing at
Wallowa on Thursday before Justice
Miller, waived examination, and his
bonds placed at $1,000, which he has
not yet given. His defense, we un
| derstand. is that he believed his first
wife had procured a divorce, from
whom he had been separated for
some months"
Thompsons first wife is a daugh-
ter of George Warburton, of Cold
] Springs, and the marriage is said to
have taken place two years ago. At
that time Thompson was canvassing
among the farmers of this county in
| the interest of q threshing machine
! house, and as spinner of fairy tales
he is said to be unequaled. At the
home of his subsequent wife he is said
to have represented himself to be the
son of the principal stockholder in
the threshing company one that is
incorporated for millions, and said
he was merely touring the country
for the benefit of his health. but
would casually take an order for /
machine when offered him.
From all accounts Thompson was
as unreliable as a salesman as in the
matrimonial line, and finally all con-
nections were severed with him by
"his fathers company" Since that
time Thompson has been travelling
over eastern Oregon working various
schemes and during that time he has
been the cause of considerable an
noyance to A. Kunkel, the implement
dealer of his city, whom Thompson
has claimed on numerous occasions
to represent, whereas he has had no
association with that gentleman, and
has several times been threatened
with arrest if he did not cease his mis-
representations.
on being arrested Thompson
claimed to have secured a divorce
from his wife here, but an investiga-
ton by the authorities failed to show
any such proceeding, and he was ac-
cordingly arrested and is now being
held for the coming term of circuit
court in Wallowa county.
