struck Billy Patterson" was inter

Answer: Mayor Yeiser IL reiuven-

The first indications of the reju-
venation Of Mayor Yeiser came soon
after the conclusion of litigation
characterizing the evolution of Padu-
cab from a third to second class
city. He began wearing "Cholly
Boy" socks, and next came fancy
vests. Opal stick pins and fancy
cuff buttons added more flash to the
dignihed mayor, and then came the
period of rolled up trousers, and the
total dscardng of his Benton
boots"
Next came cigars. but they prove
too strong for the mayor, and after
several attempts to cultivate the weed
he quit in disgust. Last month he
tackled Turkish cigarettes and nov

GRAND JURY GIVES
PIANO TO SCHOOL
ACTED THE PART OF THE GOOD
SAMARITAN WITH THE GIRLS
REFORMATORY.

However the grand jury may treat
some of the public departments, it act
ed the part of the Good Samaritan with
the Girls Reformatory School.
Some time ago the committee from
the grand jury paid a visit to tLG
school. The members of that commit
tee returned from that visit, with sor-
row in their hearts and tears in their
eyes. They had found the teachers
trying to instruct the girls at the school
how to sing. But it was instruction un-
der difficulties. There was not a sign
of a musical Instrument about the
place; not even taro patch fiddle. The
members of the committee heard the
sounds that proceeded from the school
room and fled back to the jury to re-
port.
1t was decided that something ought
to be done to assist the teachers in
their singing instruction, But the
mebers of the jury decided that it was
not a suitable subject to mention in
the recommendations. Finally it was
suggested that the members pungle up
the money and donate a piano to the
school. Foreman Clinton j. Hutchins
called upon the Bergstrom music store
and made arrangements with them to
sell square piano at bottom rock price
to the jury. The result was that every
member of the jury, Deputy Attorney
General Prosser and the Bergstrom
Company contributed sufficient to buy
the piano. The instrument which is a
serviceable instrument will be sent to
the school this week.
The instrument is donated under the
express condition that it is not the
property of the Territory. In no way
has the Territory any jurisdiction over
the piano. 1t belongs to the teachers
and inmates of the school whoever
they may be and is to be kept at the
school so long as such an institution is
in existence.
