Regularity of attendance was an

one on which great stress was laid.
The attendance this year, says the
superintendent, will be watched much
more closely than that of any previous
year and the losses, both financial and
otherwise, will be stopped in as great
"a degree as possible.
Mr.. Jones spoke words of welcome
to the new teachers and assured them
of the hearty cooperation of the older
members of the local teacheing staff
All the teachers were greeted and the
meeting was one of good fellowship
among the local teaching staff.
The outlook for the year Is encour-
aging and the coming school year

BERNARD GETS
ATTRACTIONS
Announces Many ShQWs for
Harvest Carnival

Applications for concessions for the
Harvest Festival have been pouring in
thick and fast for the past two weeks,
but owing to the fact that only the
ing most of them has been postponed.
Manager Bernard was able this after
noon to announce a few of the attrac-
tior.s which have been engaged. He
will go to The Oaks" in Portland next
Tuesday and to Luna Park in Seattle.
the next day, to secure attractions. He
promises some of the best attractions
in the west and will make every ef-
fort to get together the best aggre-
cation ever seen on the coast
He has closed contract with Cleo
patra," show which has few rivals
in it's line. 1t is the dance of sever.
wells, the Egyptian dancing girls in
this show are the best obtainable and
the show is one with which Manager
Bernard is well acquainted.
Another good show which has been
secured for the week is the Great
London Ghost Show" one of the clev
crest illusional shows that has ever
shown in America.
Beauty in the Well' is another at
traction which should be a great draw
ing card for the festival. This is
show in which the illusion is produced
by mirrors and is one of the best
shows now on the coast.
A midget show just from the big
eastern summer resorts is another eX-
hibitioI. which will not fail to please.
This show is composed of the smallest
group of people ever gotten together
and never has drawn anything but
big crowds.
A vaudeville show with IL people,
a cimineograph theater and an electric
theater. are other good shows which
will exhibit here during the festival
week.
In addition to these shows, the time
hOnored merry go-rOund will be in ev-
idence, accompanied by the somewhat
Lever but just as popular Ferris
wheel, balloons, paper novelties and
all such joys of the juvenile heart will
be there to amuse and entertain. More
shows will be secured and the festival
attractions will be the biggest known
to the history of the coast.

BIG FORTUNE GOES RAPIDLY
POOR YOUNG MAN MAKES A MIL

THREE MONTHS.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-A young

months and went into voluntary bank
ruptcy yesterday with assets of $3.50.
In the United States district court,
Jacob S. Halperin, who recently lived
in West One Hundred and Eighth
street. but now has no residence, filed
petition in bankruptcy, placing his
liabilities at $1.141,213.57. His secured
liabilities are estimated at $362,25O,
while his assets are said to be $3.50.
Halperin, who is a young man with
wife and children, associated with
two other young men in a speculative
building business. The firm was the
Lenox Building Association, and il
cally had not a dollar, but managed
to scrape' enough to secure a build
ing plot with a big mortgage and an
equity of a couple of thousands on
it. They obtained loan from bank

WILL ACCEPT
C|TY's BONDS
Market is on Decline and
Sales are |nfrequent

In view of the present conditions or
the bond market, Walla Walla may
well congratulate itself that it has
finally made disposal of the 100000
city hall and fire station bonds.
City Clerk Hart today received a
letter from E. H. Rollins & Sons of
Chicago confirming the kilograms re-
Gently exchanged between the Rollins
firm and this city, the letter stating
that 1.-The bond market for securities
throughout the country is on a rapid
decline as is proven by the fact that
New York city is today advertising
1-2 per cent bonds for the first time
in so years.
In connection with this. when 1t Is
considered that Spokane has failed in
it's efforts to dispose of bond issue
for 100000. that Seattle in an endeav-
or to sell a large block of bonds, was
able to dispose of but small frac-
ton of them, and that Pendleton was
unable to get bids on its bonds for
$4,000 it is seen that Walla Walla
is exceptionally fortunate. 1t is seen
from the above the securities of the
Garden City are considered so choice
an investment that they are taken in
preference to the many others which
are for sale.
In regard to the Spokane bonds, the
comptroller of that city has made the
statement that it is his opinion it will
be necessary to raise the bonds to
per cent before Spokane can hope to
dispose of them.
Pendleton has been unable to at
tract attention to her bonds in the
open market and is now endeavor1ng
to induce the Pendleton banks to ac-
cept them.
The letter received this afternoon
also states that the present arrange
ment between the city and Rollins &
Sons is entirely satisfactory to the
latter.

himself as more than pleased with the

found it in California. He said that

only a flying trip was necessary to
discover the contentment of his com

they were treated with all considera-
ton that was due them, not only by
officials, but by citizens with whom
they had come in contact.

WEATHER REVIEW
OF PAST YEARS
SEPTEMBER SHOULD BE PLEAS
ANT MONTH IF USUAL CON-
DITiONS PREVAIL.

If the climatic conditions prevail
next month which have been the aver
age for September for the last 21
years, one may expect a month with
general good weather, an average
temperature of "a degrees, and a rain
fall of 81 hundreths of an inch.
There was September in 1888
had mean temperature of 50
and this was the warmest ever re-
corded, while that of 1895 with a tenn
perature of So, was the coolest. In
1888 the thermometer went up to 100
degrees, the highest ever known here
in September. while in September
1890, 1895 and 1900 the temperature
got as low as SO degrees. Frost has
occurred as early as September 8, to
do damage to late crops. This hap
pened in 1900, this is far ahead of the
usual year, however, as frost gener-
ally comes about November 1.
The precipitation is likely to be
about one inch, and there are about
six days in the month on which one
may expect a hundredth of an inch.
In 1898, the wet fall rain fell to the
extent of 2.6 inches. This was bal
anced by the dry September of 1887
in which only O2 of an inch fell. The
best done by Jupiter Pluvius in any
"a hours in any September was on
September u. 1898. Be it said to the
credit of WalIa Walla weather that
snow has never fallen in the opening
month of a fall. Humidity may be
expected to be about 64 at a. m. and
at p. m. will probably be Az

with an average velocity of 81 miles
an hour. This is an average, although
in September 1892. on the 23rd day
the wind went through Walla Walla
at the rate of 3S miles an hour.

is the result Of p years of close OBJ

COAL COMPANIES
BLAME STATE
CLAIM GOVERNMENT FAILED TO
GIVE PROTECTION AS
AGREED.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 31.-Three
Reading coal companies today filed
answers to the government suits in
the federal court, asserting that the
agreement to advance the price Of
coal in 1900 was directly due to the
failure of the state and the national
governments to enforce the law and
protect the coal companies during the
coal miners strike. This agreement
also, it is alleged, was due to per-
suasions of the late Marcus Hanna,
who it is claimed, was anxious to end
the strike on account of the pending
presidential election. The answers set
forth that the companies were forced
to make contracts with the operators
but no mention is made of any subse-
quent reduction in prices.
