visitor in the city today.
Mr.. Whitman stares extensive prep
arations for the campmeeting at All
shhka are now being perfected and
that six churches will be assembled
for the meetings. which win be adj
dressed by a number of well-known
white revivaaists and missionary work
ers.
There will be from 500 to 600 CT
our people camped at Ahsahka for
the campmeeting services" said Mr..
Whitman. land the result of these
meetings is becoming more beneficial
to our people each year.
THE membership of the church Is
growing larger each year, and 1t Is
the hope Of the church leaders tn
eventually wipe out the legendary
practices of the tribe. such as the war
dance, war parade and demoralizlng
gambling and horse racing that gen.
orally follow the opening festivities
by what is known as the renegade ele-
ment OF the tribe"
Mr.. Whitman states the churches
at Sites, Kamiah, Meadow Greek

large delegations. to the Ahsahlxa
meetings and that the meetings will
commence the latter part OF this

CATTLE SENT
SUMMER RANCE

The shipment of 1900 head Of
range cattle was commenced today by
Bales & Jones, well-known stock
men of the Camas prairie country.
The cattle are being shipped To
Standing Rock, N. D.. where they
will be grazed on the reservation
range. The cattle are sold to North
Dakota stockmen, and 1t is probable
Bales & Jones will make another ship
rnent to the same place later in the
season, but will probably buy In
southern Idaho and eastern oregon.
The shipment now being made was
secured from stockmen in Idaho. Neg

SENIOR CLASS ENTERTAINMENT
Presentation of Morality PIay-other
Social Events.

Commencement week was success
fully ushered in by the presentation of
the senior class play at the Normal
auditorium last night. The audience
room was crowded to its utmost ca
pacity with friends of the class and
school who gathered to witness the re-
vival of an old drama quaint and pc
culiar in it's setting and of high edu-
cational value.
The play was "Everyman," one of
the old morality productions of the
fifteenth century, given with the dis
tinct idea to point moral" rather
than to "adorn a tale" The play was
staged after the custom of the time
which was of the simplest form, but
in keeping with the age and it's prob
lens. The success of the performance
is due In greatest measure to Miss
Henry of the English department who
has given time and untiring effort to
reproduce the play in Its strength
and simplicity.
Miss Fannie Havernick as Everyman
and Miss Olive McGrew as Good Deeds
carried the principal strength OF the
cast, where the individual parts were
all well taken and the simple story
told with directness that was dram
attic in its intenseness. In the recep-
ton that followed the presentation
Miss Henry and the members of the
class received the hearty congratula-

TREE IND EASY.

Some of the ministers of Hartford have made it appear that life in the capital is pretty free and easy and now we read in the esteemed Hartford Times, which is not given to sensa- tional stories, that there is good deal of freedom and ease in the meetings of the Hartford common council board Thus saith the Times: The practice Of smoking in the common council board during tho meetings has become com mon, At the meetinS Monday even ing there were very few members who did not add to the enjoyment of the work of legislating for the city by smoking cigars. It would not hava caused any surprise if one of the mem bers had taken well-seasoned clay pipe or an old-fashloned corn cob out of his pocket filled it with smoking tobacco, and lighted it. The odor might have became somewhat stronger and less aromatic. but the atmos- nhcre could hardly have been heavier loden with the fumes of tobacco than 1t was. For the past two or three years there has been q tendency Co smoke in the lower board during meetings. This tendency has been brought about by the unwillingness of members to discard their half smoked cigars when the presidents gavel fell on the block calling them to order. They kept the cigars lighted by oc- casional puffs, surreptitiously taken their manner showing q consciousncss of violating the etiquette of the board. From this stolen smoke has developed the practice of smoking which has now become general.
 It has been noticed that since smok-
 ing has been practiced in the council the members stay In their seats and pay closer attention to the business of the meetings. Quite likely. Perhaps the city of Hartford could well afford to supply the members of the council with good cigars. Then in time good drinks for those who want them might be added. And so forth and so On. Gentlemen who do public business ought to have all the freedom and ease they need while they are doing it. Dignity is all right in It's place, but 1t seems to be out of place in good many of the public doings at Hart ford

WHAT CAV BE DONE.

It is true that the cost of living in
 this country during the last five years has been high, but it is also true that many people who have 1t in them to save have been able to save little In spite of all temptations. For instance, Joseph Cuinen and family of Housa- tonic, Massachusetts, including three sons and one daughter, left for their home in Germany few days ago, talk
 ing with them $1O,92O, which they have saved during their five-years stay in this country. When they arrived at Great Harrington they began working in the Monument mills. The children
 were young, but were able to work. The secret of their saving a small fortune during these few years lay in their ability to earn large sum in the aggregate and live on a very small amount The net savings during these five years amounted to about SAP a week, The daughter earned $6 a week

4 HEH ONE.

Not long ago we were told that the "rural free delivery" was great and good thing for those on the farms that it brought them into touch with the larger life of the world, etc, etc, This looked plausible, and was accepted as true. Perhaps 1t was and is true. but County Judge Chloupek of the Mani- towoc Probate court in Wisconsin doesn't think 1t Is. He says that the rural mail route is doing more than anything else to cause the increase in insanity in the country Before that was inaugurated people gathered at tho postofflce, at the country store, at the neighbors. People saw more of each other; now they get their mail every morning; everything is brought to them; they lead a secluded life, some times not seeing anyone for many days It is the Ionesomeness of the thing that drives people to the mad house. The farmers wives are the ones more particularly affected by this new condition, Insanity Is increasing at a rapid rate in the rural communities, and especially is this true among the women.
 This theory of Judge Chloupek doesn't look as plausible as the other theory did and does, but as he is a judge it may be that some will think that his theory has sound judgment in it. Anyhow it is interesting, and will serve as an argument for the use of those who don't want to see rural free delivery extended.

interested in and conversant with the rut into which the management of the State prison had fallen will recall the far-reaching effect his reorganization of the board of directors had upon the fortunes of that State institution. Within five years from the time Cover nor Morris took office the Connecticut State prison jumped from the foot of all American prisons to near the top, and is to-day acknowledged to be the best administered of them all. Tho for mer directors had unconsciously lost the stimulating influence of the initla- tive and were replaced by new men for the good of all concerned.
 We are not advocating such q sweep ing reorganization of the board of ed ucation as Governor Morris imposed upon the State prison, but it is alto gether evident that the New Haven school board requires the introduction of new blood; the service of men 10 whom the task has not grown stale and who, for a variety or reasons. have not lost partial sight of their pressing ad- ministrative functions. If for no other reason than that the Teachers league has made this plain. it has justified its existence.
