business, it certainly looks as though
Sam jackson was doing few stunts
with the veil himself. Eh, "Jack?"
While Editor Scott is eternally anx-
ious to let the people of Oregon know
who is behind the journal, why not
give little information pertaining to
the Oregonian2 There may be people
in Oregon who would like to know
whether Bros. Scott and Pittack alone

RIOTING IN JAPAN,

The news of rioting in Japan will

was believed that they were unit on
everything relating to the war, that
whatever their rulers did was per
fectly satisfactory to them and such
was their confidence that there could
not come set of conditions where
they would fail to perfectly agree.
During the whole war and while blood
and treasure were being poured forth
in an almost unprecedented torrent
they never quailed or hesitated, but
when it came to arranging the terms
of peace and when they realized all
the war had cost them and began to
set at corresponding figures the recon-
pense that should come to them, it is
evident that they were grievously dis

ATHENA, SEPTEMBER Is, 1905

The farmers of eastern Washington
are entitled to every cent they can
obtain for their wheat, and if the
combine now being organized results
in giving them IS cents instead of So
cents a bushel they may be congratu-
lated. Complaint has beer made,
says the Spokesman Review, more
than once that the coast millers have
organized to keep prices down, and
though the millers emphatically deny
the charge, the idea has taken deep
root in the minds of the farmers and
will not be displaced. 1t is believed,
moreover, that the market price of
wheat will advance beyond the pres.
ent figures and that by withholding
the 1000, 900 bushels which it is ex-
pected to control under this combine
of the farmers the higher price will
materialize the sooner. There is no
question that agreements affecting the
price of wheat have existed and do
exist among millers and dealers where
by the farmers are placed at disad-
vantage, and in this matter, as in
other combinations and cooperative
schemes into which they have entered,
the farmers are simply adopting
measures to protect themselves and get
fair price for their produce.

Wisconsin newspapers are all send
ing out 28 page supplements. Under
a new statute, the laws enacted at
each session of the legislature are
published in every paper in the state
whose publisher is willing to perform
that service for 500. Few decline,
and thus there goes copy of the ses-
sion laws into nearly every home.
The Wisconsin plan certainly makes
ignorance of the law as inexcusable
morally as legally.

AMATEURS SCORE
SUCCESS IN OPERA
ssCHIMEs OF NORMANDY WE'LL
PRESENTED AT AUDITORIUM.
First Of Two Performances for Benefit
Of st. Barnabas Hospital Brings Out
Large Audience, Which Is Delighted
with Work Of Principals and Chorus,
Some of Whom Win Genuine Tri-
11mDhs

ances Of 1.-THE Chimes of Normandy
for the benefit of ST. Barnabas hospi-
tai was given last night at the Audi
forum. The production was enjoyable
and really excellent, and a severe crit
icism would pick remarkably few flaws
in the work Of principals and chorus.
Such faults as were noted were not mu-
steal, but due to stage inexperience,
which is freely pardoned in amateur
productions. The ensemble work was
excellent, rejecting considerable credit
on the painstaking work of Mrs. George
A. Hughes, who, trained the chorus.
Willard Patten welded the baton with
discretion.
:. The work Of some of the principals
last evening called forth the most en-
thusiastic demonstrations from the au-.
dience John Ravenscroft was not only
adequate to the role Of the Marquis Of
Corneville; it is safe to say that more
perfect quality of voice has seldom
Pearce created a sensation with her
vocal ability, singing the part of Ger
maine like a bird, and had she dis
played as much temperament in her
acting as in her singing, She would
have achieved wonderful success. Ad-
olson Madeira did some fine acting as
Gaspard, the old miser, and, Of course,
sang the part irreproachably. ,
Mrs. Hughes acted the saucy, rollick-
| ing Serpolette to the life, and sang it
tunefully. Harry E. George had the
decidedly unromantic role Of Jean Gren-
icheux, but his beautiful tenor, caught
the ear of the audience, and won him
rounds of applause. j. F. Murphy fur
. nished the comedy in the part of the
registrar, and was decidedly funny in an
unobtrusive way. Leon Rocks as the
bailli, M. S. Cairns and James Mcintyre
as the assessor and notary were also
picturesque. The village maidens were
we'll done by Misses Madeline Leavitt
Alfalfa Brown, Beulah Brainard and
Irene Burns, and the small sailor by
Miss Caroline Thompson. The chorus
was adequate vocally, and showed thu
results Of careful drilling. :;
Planquette's opera with its catchy
music, not too exacting Of either princi

Marshalltown, Iowa, May 3.-Iowa
clubwomen are taking much interest in
the approaching biennial convention Of
the state federation. As usual, the
topic Of greatest interest is that Of the
presidency. Mrs. Alice G. Fletcher of
this city, the retiring president, has
received many letters asking her if she
would accept reelection: To all Of
these she has replied in the negative,
stating her belief that the honor should
be passed around. She will not accept
second term if rendered her.
Among the clubwomen most talked OF
for the honor are Mrs. J. W. Corey OF
Spencer, present vice president; Mrs.
Jessie Mallory Thayer Of Charlton;
Mrs. H. E. Deemer, wife of Supreme
| Judge Deemer, Of Red Oak, and Mrs: ).
J.. Seerley Of Burlington. All but Mrs.
Seerley have announced that they are
in no sense candidates for the honor.
Four years ago Mrs. Seerley was
brought out as a candidate, when the
biennial was held in Burlington. She
could not accept the honor then, how,
ever. It is thought. she will be placed
before the convention this year as a
candidate for the presidency and that
her chances for election are good.
