Teachers Re eception.

The l.. ID. 5. meeting house was
the scene Of a very delightful social
gathering last Tuesday evening, the
occasion being the reception ten
dered to the public school teachers
by the Village Improvement society.
The house was prettily decoraeed
with green and white-the society
colors, while the altar rail was
banked with sweet peas-the society
flower.
Between the hour of 8 and 10
nearly 200 patrons of the school
called to meet Superb ntendent Bang
hart and his corps Of ten lady assist
ants. The patrons and teachers
commingled in pleasant social inter
course, and the result of the meet
ing cannot help but be beneficial TO
our schools during the coming year.
Fruit punch and waters were
served during the evening and the
pavilion orchestra enliyened the oc.
clslon with music.
1t was the first gathering Of the
kind ever held in Montpelier and
the ladies Of the Village Improve
ment society are TO be commended
for their effort to increase he inter
est IN our public schools and in af-
fording an occasion for the patrons
to become acquainted with the
teachers. We would like to see th,
society make the teachers reception

BAD SHEEP HERDERS
Two Of Them Create Great Excite
ment at CokeviIle.
SHOOT A MAN WITHOUT CAUSE
One of Them Is Afterwards Killed and
the Other One Captured---Were
Full Of Bad Booze.

Wednesday afternoon Cokeville
people were thrown into q state of
excitement by the depredations of
two drunken, half breed Mexican
sheep herders. We have been un-
able to obtain the true facts of the
affair, but the story briefly told is
about as follows:
The two men left town about
noon Wednesday, pretty we'll loaded
with bad booze. When about two
miles east of Cokeville they met a
young fellow by the name of Nor
gan, so we have been told, coming
IN horseback from Hills sheep camp
after supplies. In response to a
command from the drunken sheep
herders, he threw up his hands,
when one of the men shot him, the
bullet passing through his abdomen.
Morgan was permitted to continue
on to Cokeville, where he related
his experience, and had his wound
dressed by DR.. Poynter, who was
in CokevilIe at the time. Morgan
was placed on No. / that afternoon
and sent to Salt Lake. The doctor
states that there is danger of his
wound proving fatal.
Leaving the boy the men con-
tinued their journey east, and about
q mile up the road met man with
four.horse load of lumber. They
attempted to take one of his horses,
but the man talked them ont of the
notion, without much trouble.
At the ranch of John Bronson,
about Z miles east OF Cokeville, one
of the men went into the barn, took
a horse and was starting off With il,
when he was stopped by Bronson.
During a controversy which followed
Bronson shot and killed the sheep
herder, He then quickly covered
the other one with bis gun, disarmed
and bound him securely and went
INTO CokeVille to give himself up.
He arrived at Cokevllle just as {
posse of men were starting in pur
suit of the sheep herders. After
hearing Bronson's story, severa
men went out to his ranch with /;
team and brought in the sheep herd
er and the body of the dead one
The one was taken to Evanston yes
terday morning and the body of tn,
other has been buried in Cokeviile
There have been numerous storie
circulated around town regardin,
the affair, but the above is a sub
stautially correct report as well q
II could be told in brief space.

Opening Of Public Schools.

The public schools opened Mon
day morning with full corps Of
teachers, Miss Mabel Ridd having
been selected as teacher for the
Third and Fourth grades in the
Washington building in the place of
Miss Mogford Of Rexburg, who in.
formed the board on Thursday Of
last week that she bad accepted an.
other position. Superintendent,
Banghart has been busy this week
getting everything in proper run
ming order and arranging for the
opening Of the high school mex,

The total enrolment at the close
of the frst week is S0s or 0 more

last year. The enrolment in each
building 10 as follows:

Next week the Seventh grade
pupils will be transferred from The
Washington building to the old
Presbyterian mission school, where
they will attend until the high
school building is completed
Al meeting OF the school board
Monday night it was decided that
the high school pupils should pur-
chase their own books, which will
be furnished to them at cost through
the superintendent. Some of the
other supplies, heretofore purchased
by the pupils at the stores, will be
furnished by the district, through
the superintendent, at cost. This
will enable the pupils 70 be pro-
vided with uniform set Of supplies.
The district has gone 70 a great
expense in establishing high school
and IT Is to be hoped that every
pupil entitled to enter that depart
ment will do so. The course OF
study adopted is identical with tha.
of the best high schools in the state,
and there 10 no reason why parents
should send their children away 70
other schools to obtain that which
can now be obtained at home.

GEORGIA TO BE DRY.
A Prohibition Bill Passes House With Only
Amendments.
Amendments.

date when the bill should become eff
fective. This was lost, 1913 to 40.
The passing Of a prohibition law
in Georgia adds a Southern State to
the stronghold of the "drys;" in the
Far West, Kansas; in the extreme
East, Maine; in the extreme North:
North Dakota, and in the heart OF
the Union, Tennessee.
At the beginning of the year the
number Of people living under statu.
tory prohibition in Maine, North Da'
kota and Kansas was only $500 600.
BY the end of the year Tennessee and
Georgia will nearly have trebled the
number.
Georgia is the largest State that
ever passed a prohibitory law, If we
except New York's abortive attempt
many years ago. Massachusetts,, Yer.
mont, Rhode Island and Iowa have
all tried and abandoned prohibition.
yet the number living under it will
o be larger than ever before. Add
ing those in the Territories under
Congressional prohibition the total
number will be about 100000.
One-third of the remaining citt
zens live in dry" communities I'm
der the operation Of local-optior
laws, or in the South in counties
where high license fees are practical
ly prohibitive.

be one of the most temperate nations
Nearly half its people live in com
munities where getting a drink
means breaking the law.

Atlanta, Ga.-The Hardman-Cov-
ington prohibition bill, passed by the
Georgia Senate some days ago, was
adopted by the House by a vote or
139 to 80. Two amendments added
by the House will necessitate the bill
going back to the Senate for concur
renee, of which there is NO doubt, and
the bill then will go to Governor
Hoke Smith for his signature, which
has been practically pledged, and pro-
hibition will become q law in Georgia.
The amendments permit the sale
of pure alcohol by retail druggists on

business, the sale or giving away to
induce business within the State or
any liquor that may produce intoxi-
cation. The new law is to become eff
fective on January I, 1908.
After the first fight on the bill in
which the opponents of the bill
showed their ability to keep the act
from it's third reading, en- agreement
was reached, making the bill a spe-
cial order.
Twenty-one amendments were Of
fered. Only two were allowed, and
both of these were introduced by the
Prohibitionists. The anti-prohibi-

secure the adoption Of an amendment
