Supervision Bill Tabled.

After a fight by MT. Pitts of Dallas and motion by MT. Sherrod the school supervision bill was defeated in the house to the extent that it was laid on the table. This bill sought to force the county superintendents to visit tn 6 schools and look after their work; also providing that they shall be men hold ing not less than first grade certifi- cates. The department of education has tried to have the bill passed so that it could more effeffctively control tn e cshoois In the country districts.

 The house has up the question of ex- empting short lines of railroad from the operations of the rate and regulation bills.

Antl-Lobby Bill.


 The two houses have appointed con- ferecne committees on the anti-lobby bill, the house refusing to agree to Mil ler's amendments put on by the senate The bill is expected to have a rocky road to travel. As amended it is de- prived of most provisions that are not now given in the code and if the changes hold there will probably be no passage of the bill at all.
 The movement of Colonel John to have the child labor bills recommitted Is supposed to presage the settlement of this question. It is understood that the plan now Is to have an assistant to the jail inspector and to place the age limit at 12 years, so that there will be effectiveness in the present laws. The friends of child labor do may fight 1t, but it begins to look as if this will be the result in the end of the fight at this session.
 The rules have been so amended that MT King of Jefferson may be put on the committee to investigate condi- tions at the insane asylum and he will likely be the chairman of the com mittee. Speaker Carmichael says there is much interest all over the state about the institution and he has received a great many letters encouraging the investiga tion.

MAGiLLS OUT ON BAIL,
Date of Famous Murder Trial Will be
Soon Decided.

CLINTON, ILL.,, Aug. 3.-When court
convened this morning the state pre-
sented an affidavit showing why the
Magill murder case should not come
to trial before the November term.
First the state believes the letters are
forgeries and therefore wants time to
get evidence that the state is unable
to get the alleged Pet" Magill letters
from the defense; that the state has
not received full report from the
laboratory examining the organs;
that the state has witness, Will Mel
ton of Colorado. who has letters from
Fay Magill purporting to show Magill
murdered his wife and she was the
accessory. The matter was then taken
under Amusement by the court.
The Magills were released this after
noon on $4,000 bonds each. Court re.
convenes Friday when the date of their
trial will be set

STEPS OF WALLA WALLA.

Rev ]. C. Reid, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church of this city has
returned from his vacation on the

Two weeks were spent in Tacoma,

Vashon Island.
Rev. Reid preached twice in the
First Presbyterian church Of Tacoma
and filled the pulpit of the Emmanuel
Presbyterian church of the same city
last Sunday.
zone of the most remarkable things
/ noticed on my trip was the way in
which the cities of the Sound are fol-
lowing in the footsteps of WallaA Wal
la in the matter of civic REFORM" said
the popular minister this afternoon.
1.-The Sunday closing laws are being
enforced in the cities over there and
ment our sister cities on the Sound
are following the lead of this city.
'It was a pleasure to notice this and
to feel that Walla Walla is first where
the big cities on the other side of the
mountains are following. All the mu-
nicipal reforms and la wenfOrcements
are being taken up by the larger WASH
ington cities and it should be source
of pride to the citizens of Walla Wal
la to know that they are leading in the
good work"

ductions of the best popular plays.
II have great faith in the future ,of
Walla Walla and expect to locate here
and make this city my home" said
Mr. Binnard this afternoon. There is
no doubt in my mind but that this
city will support a good theater if
the people are convinced that the
productions are of the high order of
which Walla Walla is deserving, and
that is the kind we will present.
For the present it will be necessary
for us to use the Orpheum theater
which will be made as comfortable and
pleasant as possible. From the cur

Of the finest houses in Washington
Mr.. Baker, of Portland, who is a partic-
ular friend Of mine, has loaned me his
SceLic artist who will be here the first
of the week to paint and arrange the
scenery. Everything on the stage will
be new and up-to-date and our artist
is one of the best in the business. The
house from the curtain out will be
thoroughly renovated and made as
comfortable and attractive as possible
1T is our intention to erect a build
ing this fall for theater but until we
have our own house we will make the
Orpheum the most attractive little
place in Walla Walla. There is no
finer class of people in the business
than those in our company, some of
whom are now in the city. The others
will be here by the first of the week
when rehearsals will be started. We
guarantee that our first hight and every
subsequent one will be sufficient to
convince the Walla Walla people that
they are being given the best produce

RUN CARNIVAL
COMMERCIAL CLUB DECIDES TO
EMPLOY EXPERIENCED MAN
FOR SHOW.

That an expert in the carnival line
will be employed to run the big har-
vest festival was definitely settled at
meeting of the carnival committee
at the Commercial club rooms last
night. ~.
One of the most enthusiastic meet
iLgs the committee have held was that
of last night. Although some of the
members were unavoidably absent
those present were filled to the brim
with enthusiasm and much work in
preparation for the big show was ac-
complished.
A number of experts in the line
desired have made application to run
the show and it is felt by those al
the head of the enterprise that his
salary would be more than returned by
the way in which a man expert in aft
fairs of the kind would handle it.
Applications for concessions are COM
ing in with undated regularity and
the best of these will be selected for
the harvest festival. Just what ones
will be taken is not yet known as it
is too early to decide

important matters of the carnival will
