County Auditor Charles E. Amsbaugh

County Auditor Charles E. Amsbaugh
has on exhibition at his Office in the
court house a cartoon drawn by a
young Adams county boy, Mr.. w. H.
Bracken, that is real work of art and
is credit alike to the cartoonist and
to Mr.. Amsbaugh. The cartoon repre-
sents Mr.. Amsbaugh as victor in his
recent race for auditor and portrays
his opponent vainly struggling against
the briny current of Salt river. The
congratulatOry hands of his multitude
of friends are shown as being extended
to him from all directions and Charley
seems to be making an honest effort to
grasp them all. The browning act Of
all is being performed by the ladies',
who are showering him with boquets OF
roses and laurel wreaths. 1t is work
neatly done and is worth preserving.

Reception to Teachers.

In the Central school building Mon
day night committee of Ritzville
teachers gave in honor of the visiting
teachers, fully eightyfour of whom
were present from various parts of
Adams county, a reception which has
become and is now looked upon as one
of the leading yearly, social events.
The committee having this affair in
charge consisted of Georgian Donald.
May Littleton, Coray Himelburger,
Esther Newland, Olive Brace, Jet B.
Evans, Elizabeth Jobe, May Cook.
Viola E. Wagner, Lucille Mcintyre and
Reba Hurn, and each member of this
committee deserves a large measure of
praise for the genuine success of the
occasion.
Evidences of pleasure shone in the
faces of everybody present. 1t was
the one time in the entire year when
all teachers of the county are given an
opportunity to meet and mingle togeth-
err socially. The pedagOg from the
rural district forgot for time the
familiar wilderness of sage brush which
may have surrounded his castle in the
country, and gave himself up entirely
to pleasure. That restraint which is
usually so characteristic of the pedagog
was banished, along with the memories
of the cold, cherries homestead shack
where his nights and holidays, when
off duty, had been spent. and he was
to realize what joy it is to be alive.
The musical feature deserves especial
mention. Piano solos were given by
Miss Alice Hurn of Spokane, and by
Misses Claire Despair and Kathleen
Hallin of Ritzville, vocal solos by Miss
Viola E. Wagner and Chas. Sapp.
Appreciation was shown by generous
applause and frequent encores.
Contests followed. On the walls
were posted pictures and sketches rep
resenting advertisements which COM
monty appear in the newspapers and
ranging all along the line from the
Prudential Insurance Co. to the Gold
Dust Twins. Cards were passed on
which answers were written, and while
the first prize was captured by Miss
Elsie Greene, C. d. Linn walked up
the aisle to accept the "booby" prize.
Then came the autograph contest in
which cards were interchanged in order
to see who would be able to procure
the greatest number Of names within a
given time. J. H. Perkins was de-
clared the winner.
Refreshments were served, college
yells stirred the blood, and the even
ing's fun was concluded with the sing
ing of old college songs so familiar to
many present.

Teachers Institute.

At Tuesday mornings session of the
Teachers Institute, considerable inter-
est was manifested in the lecture de-
livered by Prof. r. Kent Beattie, of
the Washington State College. on the
subject: Spokane as Geographic
Type.
He declared that Spokane is an ex-
cellent point from which to start the
child in his study of the geography of
of cities owing to the fact that the city
is centrally located and near at hand.
His elaboration upon that city's future
and his glowing description of the un-
developed resources backing it up,
made every teacher feel that here is u
place to invest his earnings and prepare
to enjoy the ease which crowns virtuous
old age.
He told how the Spokane river, from
its source to its mouth. has more water
power than any other stream in the
world, except the Niagara river, and
Prof. Beattie said that possibly no ex-
ception should be made of that river.
Thirty-two thousand horse power can
be developed at Spokane falls, while
only fifteen thousand horse power is
now being utilized there.
North of Spokane are vast beds of
marble near the surface equal in value
and extent to the quarries of Vermont
At Potlatch, Idaho, Is located the lar
gest saw mill in the world. The Palouse
branch of the Northern Pacific rail road
earns more money than other branch
line in the world. The Couer d. Alene
electric line leading to Spokane paid a
dividend during the first year.
H. B. Dewey, deputy state superin-
tendent of Olympia, addressed the
teachers on the subject of "Certifica-
ton. He said, that while many
teachers may not be pleased with the
regular examination, not finding the
task involved pleasure, still it is like
dose of medicine and it has to be
taken.
1--WE want you to have all the credits
to which you may be entitled. If you
feel that you haven't been given the
credits to which you are entitled by
your manuscripts. tell us about it and
we will cheerfully review the papers,
but if you think you have been given
too many credits you needn't write us
at all"
He explained how no other state in
the Union gives to incoming teachers
the latitude regarding certificates that
the state of Washington gives.
He spoke about the excellent work
that is being done by the State Teach
ers' Association, and how it had in
fluenced legislation, extending the min
imum length Of school term during
which school must be taught in any
district during any one year from three
months to five months. While former
ly Institutes were held during the heat
of the summer and teachers were
obliged to attend without receiving
compensation, now they are held at
other times as well and teachers do not
forfeit their salaries while in attend
ance. Last year the association had
2745 members enrolled. At its next
annual meeting to be held in Belling-
ham in December several prominent
speakers are expected; W. j. Bryan,
Gov. Folk and Mr.. Jerome of New
York.

ular landlord of the Hotel Ritzville, re-
ceived word Monday that she was heir
to 81, 900 marks left to her by an aunt
in Stergrut Germany. She has sister
in the old country who received the
same amount. This came as surprise
to Mrs. Schmidt as she would be re-
membered in this way.
Mr.. Simons, right-of-way agent for
the c. M. & St. Paul road, was in the
city Tuesday interviewing Julius
Siemens. He stated that the contract
had been let for the grading of the road
bed from Tekoa to ten miles southwest
of Rock lake. The right of way crew
are now at work securing right of way
through the Lind coulee.
Richard p. Schenk and wife came
down from Spokane last week for "a
visit with friends and relations in this
city. Mr.. Schenk was former en-
ploye of Myers-Shepley Co. as clerk
while his wife was formerly Miss Laura
Alters. She is still in this city visiting
her sister, Mrs. Anna Uranium. Mr..
Schenk returned to Spokane the first of
the week.
Clerk-elect S. d. Douglas was very
pleasantly surprised at his home last
Friday by his neighbors, it being his
35th birthday. Among those present
were Messrs and Mesdames C. E.
Shipman, A. H. Domain, j. j. Joyce,
w. r. Cunningham, Jr., Miss Olive
Brace and l.. F. Salisbury. A very
pleasant evening was spent by those

rying on poker game in one of the
rear rooms of "Billie's Place." sa-
loon conducted by VIM. Verdenius, and
were brought to Ritzville by Deputy
Sheriff AL P. Haas and lodged in Jail
Sunday. The preliminary hearing had
been set for today before Justice w.
X. Kennedy, but owing to washouts on
the railroad and the irregularity of the
train service, all witnesses for the pros
ecution were unable to be present, and
an adjournment was taken until Friday
afternoon. The bond for each defen-
dant was fixed at five hundred dollars
The board of arbitrator which adj
Indicated the claim for damages pre-
ferred by Mrs. Teynor, widow of the
late Peter Teynor, who was killed by
being run over by loaded wheat wagons
recently, found that George Bauer was
not civilly liable under the circum-
stances owing to the fact that he had
shut off the motorcycle before APP
preaching Teynor's horses and they
had not been frightened because of
any negligence on Bauer's part. But,
owing to the circumstances and owing
to the financial conditions of both par
ties, the board of arbitrators felt dis
posed to award six hundred dollars to
the widow.

The wedding which occurred at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver +.
Karn on Wednesday was quiet, unOs-
tentatious, but elegant and impressive.
The rooms were prettily decorated with
autumn leaves and ferns. Only few
intimate friends gathered to witness
the ceremony which would unite Ada
Dee Frances Karn and Earle Edward
Reeves, and which will leave Yale one
less popular and lOvable girl.
Just before four o'clock a solo, "Be-
cause was sung by Estella Francis in
her sweet voice, the words of the song
being very appropriate to the occasion.
The bride was simply attired in neat
gown of white and the couple stood
alone before Rev. G. d. Ellis, who used
the ring service in making them hus-
band and wife. "l love you truly" was
played softly by Nellie Beard, all during
the ceremony.
After congratulations, dainty wed
ding supper was served from tables
decorated with carnations, and then
the newly mated ones drove TO Emmett
where they took the train for Terre
Ilaute, Ind. After a two weeks wed.
ding trip they will be at home in Fort
Wayne, Ind.
Mrs. Reeves will be much missed in
Yale, but hearty good wishes go with
her. Mr.. Reeves is bOokkeeper for the
Perrine Lumber Co. in Fort Wayne
and is well thought of. The ExpOsi-
tor extends congratulations.

BOUGHT BY SYNDICATE.

Since returning to the coast Grant Nc
Arthur has struck good luck. In the
Vancouver Daily Province, we find the
following real estate deal which will nc
doubt net Grant a nice bunch of the
coin of the realm
"a real estate deal aggregating S62,'
600 in which a local syndicate pur.
chased lots II and IL, block 9, 1886, on
Hastings street, was this morning con.
summated by Mr.. Grant Macarthur
who held options on the property, and
the real estate firm of Cavanagh x Hol.
den, who were instrumental in making
the sale. This property is located just
west of Westminster avenue, and is one
of the big real estate transfers of the
past several weeks, and the price paid
is considered to be fair, yet not so high
that IL will not prove to be good in
vestment to the purchasers"

A FINE CONCERT.

The concert given by Mrs. Fades and
other talent from Port Huron Wednes-
day evening, was quite well attended,
and as promised a fine program was
carried out. Mrs. Fades has sweet
and powerful soprano voice with great
control. She is splendid instructress
in music as Yale people can testify and
it is to be hoped that she can secure a
class here for this winter. Her select
ions Wednesday evening brought out
the splendid range of her tones. Miss
Selkirk is very pretty player on the
mandolin, for one so young she handles
the instrument well.
A splendid elocutionist is Miss
Waterworth. The audience was sim
ply delighted with her. We have had
many good readers, but perhaps none
has pleased more. In Mr.. MacComb a
grand tenor voice is revealed showing
that he had done credit to the best OF
training. His selections We're appreci-
ated. Prof. Cawthorne the well known
pianist, was the accompanist' Of the
evening.
