The recent county teachers exam
nation held here was pronounced by
the members of the examining board
to be much harder and longer than
usual. Professor PEBBLES, of the Nor
NAL School, who is one of the board.
criticises the state board severely for
sending out such unnecessarily long
lists of questions on the various sub
jects. Prof. PEBBLES was himself on
the state board of examiners for 10
years and he does not believe In caus-
ing so much physical hardship as was
endured by the teachers at the re-
cent examination. In speaking of
the matter this morning, he said:
Il believe that an equally thorough
test could have been made by the use
of one-half the questions that consti-
tuted the examination and those taxi
ing the examination would have been
spared much of the physical and
mental strain"
According to the professor, Thurs
day was the hardest day of the exam
ination and to handle the four sub
jects upon which they were examin-
ed that day some of the teachers
were forced to work from o'clock
in the morning until nearly that hour
in the evening, some of them not dar-
ing to take time in which to eat.
Taking a series of examinations
one after the other is a great nerv-
Gus and physical strain at best, es-
pecially for young women, and this
time the subjects were so long that
it was much worse than usual" said
Prof. PEBBLES.

FUNERAL OF RICHARD BROOKS.
Paid for by Subscription Made by
PendIetOn Friends.

Yesterday, at IL a. M, the funeral
of Richard Brooks occurred from the
undertaking parlors of NJ. A. RAIDER,
Rev. G. w. Rigby officiating. The
interment was in Olney cemetery, and
the friends of the dead man provided
well for the funeral.
Brooks is the man who died sew
eral days since at the hospital. He
was formerly an employe of Anton
Vey's stock ranch. After his death
NJ. A. RAIDER wired to a brother of
the deceased, James E. Brooks, who
lives at Kingston, ILL.,, for instructions
as to the funeral. After waiting long
for an answer, Mr.. RAIDER took the
matter up with the telegraph COM
pany, and from them 1t was learned
that the brother had refused to even
reply to the message telling of his
brothers death. Accordingly, a sub
scription was taken up here by the
friends of the dead man and suita-
BILE burial given him.

The Kribs Checks.
There are in the possession of the
government three checks from the
Kribs firm, showing plainly that Sem
ator Mitchell received money for his
services in expediting claims before
the government. Concerning them
Judge Tanner testified as follows:
Under the first agreement" fur

checks that were paid by Mr.. Kribs
for services performed in the matter
of expediting cases went into the firm
account and were divided with the
knowledge of Senator Mitchell that

Ruying Wallowa Sheep.

A Wyoming buyer has purchased
about 10000 yearling ewes of parties
residing in this county, the price
ranging from $2.25 to $3.50 per head,
according to quality of sheep. Ma
kin & Falconer also contracted about
5000 yearllng weathers for So per
head to a Montana buyer. Those still
holding yearlings expect prices to
strengthen and consequently buyers
have been unable to contract large
amounts-Wallowa Chieftain.

WEALTH IN WHEAT RAISING.
Splendid Record Made by John Ban
lister, of Weston.

What may be accomplished from
wheat farming in Umatilla county is
illustrated by the success of John
Banister, the well known wheat raiser
from near Weston.
Mr.. Banister began wheat farming
only four or five years ago, without
capital, and rented land from Indians
on the reservation. He was success
full, and last year purchased the CHM
place of $50 acres near Weston for
$4,000. From the first crop of this
place $32 per acre was realized. Last
year, from the 4S0 acres which he
had in wheat, Mr.. Banister reaped a
crop of 10000 bushels. This he sold
for "a cents, thus receiving $4,000,
for his crop. The three quarter sec
tions of land now owned by Mr.. Ban
lister are worth $4,000, a good stake
in itself to be made in such a short
time.

He knew you were doing work for
Kribs, and that this work involved
these claims about which you wrote

after?" asked the attorney.
Yes" said Judge Tanner. =.
The Mitchell Case Hopeless.
1t is considered generally that the
confession OF Judge Tanner has dealt
a death blow to the cause of Senator
Mitchell and that there is absolutely
no hope for anything but conviction
in his case when 1t comes to trial.
There is growing belief that the
senator will not stand trial.
Tanner VIII Be Pardoned.

Judge Tanner in making his plea of
guilty and in becoming witness for
the government will draw from Pres
ident Roosevelt a pardon for his Of
fense. This is stated by Mr.. Heney
but it is also stated that the pardon
will not be issued until after the
Mitchell trial, If there be trial, and
if the judge has given his testimony
in behalf of the government. When
the Mitchell trial is ended, then Judge
Tanner will be pardoned by the pres
ident.

Our Congress-.

When comparisons are made between
America and continental Europe we
a find much Of which to be proud.
Our growth, u wealth, our industries,
our resources, u energy, all make
fattering comparison with average Eu-
ropean conditions. But I believe in
making such comparisons there is no
one thing Of which we have the right
to be more proud than of the congress
Of the United States. Better than any
continental parliament, it represents
the people. The n legislative body of
the world that is in any way compare
BILE to ours is the parliament Of Great
Britain. In character, intellect, meth
DDS, dignity and in the truthfulness
with which each represents the people
the British parliament and the United
States congress stand in a class quite
apart and above any Of the parliaments
Of continental Europe.-Frank A. Van
derlip in Scribner's.

Flattery and Flatterers.

I'VE sometimes fancy we hate fiat
terry, when in truth it is the manner
OF 1t we dislike" said La Rochefou-
cauld. Stripped Of its cynicism, the
saying comes to this-that while praise
Is e%ternally pleasant there are fash
ions In fattery, and those fashions
change very completely. Flattery is
innocent or desptcable, not according
to whether or not it oversteps the lin
Its Of the accurate, but whether or not
1t proceeds from an interested or a dis
interested motive.
There are moments when n true state
ment Of honoriflc fact made for the
selfish purpose Of the speaker may be
gross lattery, while an exaggerated
speech may be justified by its good in
tention. The real question is not what
was said, but why it was said. That
is the only test by which we can divide
the contemplate from the harmless
kind. Surely there Is less of the worse
sort than there was, or do we but fat
ter ourselves ?-London Spectator.

himself tells the story. ut was past
noon," says he. "Rossetti had not yet
risen, though it was an exquisite day.
On the breakfast table on a huge dish
rested five thick slabs Of bacon, upon
which five rigid eggs had slowly bled
to death. Presently Rossetti appear
ed in his dressing gown, with slippers
down at heel, and devoured the dainty
repast like an ogre" That meal was
too much for Meredith, and he sacri-
feed three months rent rather than
see it repeated.

Wrestling With the spaniard.

When Walter Williams, from Colum-
bus, Miss, was in Spain in the sum-
mer Of 1908 he called upon a provin-
cial editor in the interest Of the st.
Louis exposition. The next day the
paper had the following: walter Will
liams of the United States purchased
the state Of Louisiana and next year
will give a celebration, to which he in
vites his fellow journalists of Europe"
Mr.. Williams again called upon the ed
itor and thoroughly explained matters.
The editor a%pologized and printed this
correction: Governor Francis of Mis-
souri, has purchased a large tract Of
land in the Great American desert, and
Walter Williams is here to invite the
Journalists Of Spain to a show which
the governor will give next year" Mr..
Williams fed the place, fearful the ed
itor might explain some more.

a man who has hunted in central Afri-

how it happened he will tell you that a
hyena snapped at him while he was
asleep. 1t is marvellous how they re-

Of the animal must be poisonous, and
the natives have no antiseptics and a
very crude way of treating wounds.

Condition. THAT UNIT For MARRIAGE.

Conditions That UNIT For Marriage.
The low paid employee today can sue
coed as we'll alone as with q wife,
which his ancestors could not do. At
the same time his selfish enjoyments
are greater without her, for he may live
irresponsibly, without a motive to save
and with all his surplus available for
wayside pleasures of IN a%ntisocial sort.
The disintegrating forces of a great
city upon homeless youth are too obvi-
GUS to need emphasis. The wage earn
ing girl, on her part, is likely to acquire
the taste Of fragmentary, pointless and
unproductive spending. Both form
habits harmful to the altruistic mo-
tves of group living-of the home idea.
A man who goes from the saloon, street
corner or cheap pleasure club, a girl
who leaves the dance hall and pave
ment glitter to make a home for him,
the bare necessities of which are hardly
met by his wages, are not qualified by
their experiences to bring to a success
full issue the supreme test Of character
that makes stable a high Standard
