High School Reception.

The reception given at the high
school Friday evening by the teach
ers of the city schools, and pupils
of the high school, was largely at
tended by parents and patrons gen.
orally. No pains had been spared
to make the occasion a happy one
and the high school rooms, beauti-
fully decorated, were made as home
like as possible.
The guests were received by Pro-
fessor Slothower and the school
faculty and spent an hour visiting
making new acquaintance and re-
newing old. All formality was
lacking and young and old joined
in having a good sociable time in
the various rooms which were open
ed to them
At $50 the guests adjourned to
the assembly room where careful
ly prepared program was presented
by the high school students. The
room was crowded and many found
standing room only. Despite the
crowded condition every one was
happy and applauded and encored
each number enthusiastically. The
rhetorical features of the program
were we'll given and we're inter-
spersed with singing by the glee
club, solos, piano duets and music
by the Royal Hungarian Orchestra.
At the close of the program a laugh
able pantomine was given, after
which Professor Slothower invited
all to partake of light refreshments
which we're served by high school
girls. Another hour was spent IN
visiting and merry making during
which school songs and yells were
given. Gradually members of the
assemblage babe one another good
night and departed for their homes
we'll pleased with the reception &C
corded them. Coming as it did at
the beginning of the holiday season
the affair was even more enjoyable
than it would otherwise have been.
The teachers and students deserve
much credit for their effort to bring
the people of the district and high
school alumni together and give
them a good time.
The nToopam follows.

sHEEPGUT STRINGS.
Germans Are Meeting With Success
In Fitting Musical Instruments.

Washington, July 23.--(Special)-
Consul C. b. Hurst furnishes, from
Plauen, further information on the
German use of sheep gut for strings
for musical instruments and the pos
sibility of employing American sheep
gut for this purpose.
Concerning the method of prepare
ton of the gut prior to shipment, the
process seems fairly simple and con-
sists in pressing out the contents OF
the gut Immediately after the sheer
are slaughtered. cleaning it as thor
oughly as possible by rinsing, and
then leaving 1t one day in fresh wa
ter. After this step, the gut is scraped
in order to free it entirely from fat,
which tends to render the gut un-
serviceable for strings, and it is then
dried by stretching on reels. When
thoroughly dried the gut is packed in
bundles containing one kilogram
(2.204 pounds, sprinkled with a guam
tity of naphtaline to keep the ma
terial free from moths. The length of
gut is not prescribed, but the longer
1t is furnished the more desirable, so
that in no case should the gut be re-
duced to a uniform length. The Ger
man string maker attends altogether
to the further manipulation.

COTTON SEED MEAL
DON'T HURT HOGS
EXPERIMENTS BY TEXAS MEN
SHOW THAT MANY WRONG RE-
PORTS HAVE BEEN MADE ON
THE SUBJECT.

Washington, July 2S.-(Special.) AT the
recent meeting of the Texas cotton seed
crushers held at Galveston, the bureau
of publicity made report dwelling upon
the experiments for determining the
value of cotton seed meal as a food for
hogs, and the home use of cotton oil
The reports stated that experiments in
using cotton seed meal for hogs were
begun two years ago and had been con-
tinued, and that the success met with in
this direction alone had more than justi-
fed the work done and the expenditure
made. The bureau combated the conten-
ton that cotton seed meal was poisonous
to hogs.
The report says that 1t is now the
recognized part of the ration in daily use
by hundreds of the most intelligent
feeders in Texas and in other states and
the best agricultural journals of the
south are giving it wide and frequent
discussion; and in four different states
the experiment stations, while as yet de-
Ginning to give 1t hearty endorsement,
have largely modified their views con-
corning it and have recommended it's
use under certain conditions. and are
giving it investigation which can but
result in advocating it's use

GIDEON UP FOR LIFE FOR
ROBBING STAGE COACH

ager of the company Immediately sus-
pected him of the crime. The postofiee
inspectors detailed to investigate the rob
berry worked upon this clew. They learn
ed that Gideon a few days before the
robbery secured revolver from a saloon
in the neighborhood. stating that he was
going on a hunting trip, but few hours
after the robbery he was seen In his tent
which was located about six miles from
the scene of the hold up, and the ap-
pearanee of his clothing indicated that
he had been out in the weather some
time during the night. The day follow
ing the robbery Gideon left the camp,
announcing that he was going into the
mountains to do some prospecting, but
instead of doing that he went across the
mountains to the postoffice at Hump,
Idaho, from which place he sent by ex-
press a package containing clothing and
provisions. etc. addressed to Frank Pope.
Ontario, Ore. Pope and Gideon were old
friends. and at the time the package
was sent by express Gideon mailed
registered letter at the Hump postoffiee
addressed to Pope.
Town Marshal Suspicious.
The town marshal at Ontario hearing of
the stage robbery entered upon an in
yestigation and learned from the express
agent at Ontario that Pope had received
an express package from Hump. The
marshal knew Pope and visited his cabin,
which was located on a little island in
the Snake river not far from Ontario,
and interviewed him concerning the pack
age Pope acknowledged receiving the
package and permitted the marshal to ex=r
anime Its contents which at that time
consisted of clothing and provisions. Dur
ing the Interview the marshal managed to
get the registered letter which Gideon
had mailed from Hump ana 1t stated that
he was sending Pope a package con-
tanning valuable relics and requested that
he care for the same until he called for
them. The marshalts suspicion was
aroused and he took possession of the
package which he later turned over to
the inspectors The package was found
to be four pounds lighter In weight than
when 1t was expressed. The discrepancy
In weight correspondent almost exactly
with the weight of the bullion which had
been mailed by the Golden Rule Mining
company.
Pope finally acknowledged to the In
from the express package and buried II
about mile from his cabin, and in COM
pany with them he visited the spot where
the bullion was buried and turned it over
to the inspectors.
After sending the express package to
Pope, Gideon returned to his tent near
Resort, Idaho and shortly afterwards
broke camp and left that part of the
state. He was later arrested at Ontario.
Ore, and from the evidence produced by
the inspectors he was sentenced to life
Imprisonment.

SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH
Is THE NEWEST METHOD

Norfolk, Va, July % .-(Specal)-
Many of the warships which will be
present at the jamestown Ter-Centen-
ial exposition to be held by the shore
of Hampton Roads near Norfolk next
year will be equipped with the sub
marine telegraph system, a new inven-
ton of great Importance to ocean
travel. Two of the new submarine
boats now building are to be equipped
with the apparatus and probably still
others will be fitted with instruments
for sending and receiving messages
through the water.
The system is based on the fact
that water is the best conductor of
sound may be transmitted through.
the air at the rate of 1890 feet per
second, water will transmit sound at
the rate OF over 1900 feet per second.
Signals sent through water are nearly
uniform in character and not subject
to interference by atmospheric con-
dtions. The apparatus for sending
messages consists OF bell hung in the
water beside the ship in such manner
that the bell can be struck from the
pilot house and made TO vibrate waves
of sound through the water in greater
or shorter periods. forming complete
telegraph code. The receiving appa-
ratus consists of two small tanks fitted
against the skin of the ship, one on
either side; each tank having micro
phone inside which takes up the sound
and transmits it directly to the cap
tain in the pilot house
From Portland, Me-, to the Diamond
Shoals lightship, off Cape Hatteras,
lightships are equipped with this sys-
tenn. During the foggy weather the
bell is rung at stated intervals and as
soon as a vessel equipped with the. sys-
tenn comes in range of the bell her

There is decrease of 2S2 in the num-
Der of collisions and derailments over
those reported in the preceding three
months.
The number of employees killed in coup
ling and uncoupling cars, and engines was
81 being one less than the number kill
ed in the last quarter.
In closing the bulletin says:
The most disastrous accident reported
in the present bulletin, collision caus-
ing "a deaths and injurlng "a. was due
to the striking fault of the train dispatch
ing system. A telegraph operator at a
small and lonely station, who had been
on duty all day and more than half the
night, fell asleep. and on awakening mis-
informed the train dispatcher as to what
had occurred while he was asleep.
1t is pertinent to observe that the block
system repeatedly advocated by the COM
mission Is the true means that ought to
be adopted for the prevention of such
distressing disasters.

DOWIE AT ZION.
Says He VIII Take Full Charge Mex,
Wednesday Night.

Chicago. July 22.-John Alexander Dowie
held his first meeting in his tabernacle
at Zion City today since the meeting
which broke up in a riot six weeks ago.
Dowie's physical condition was such that
he had TO be lifted upon the platform by
two negro attendants. He spoke less than
ten minutes, and apparently under the
greatest physical strain, being unable to
rise from his chair without help. In con-
GLIDING his brief address Dowie said:

States navy the battleships Maine and
Alabama were the first to be fitted
with the system and Rear Admiral
Evans in his reports to the navy de-
partment said it had saved both of
those vessels from collision in foggy
weather on different occasions. The
submarines now building at the Fore
River Shipbuilding company are the
Viper, Tarantula, Octopus and Cutie
fish. 1t has already been decided to
equip two of these with the system
and the other two are quite likely to
be so provided.
This is the only system available
for submarine boats owing to the fact
that they are most o fthe time sub
merged or awash.
