terest his administration of affairs ard
her reign as queen OF the social life of
the Texas capital The following clip
ping descriptive of the bail is taken from
the Austin Statesman:
The scene within the ballroom was
one Of great brilliancy. As one entered
the door a blaze Of electric lights. bear
ing the inscription Campbell, o7-o9' met
the gaze with food of glory. Wreathed
and festooned along the balcony, and
draping the dais of the orchestra, Texas
smIlax gracefully lent its green caresslng
tendrils to add beauty to the scene.
Fluffy palm trees stood in stately array
to do homage to the new executive. Bes-
serer orchestra, upon a raise dals, I'M
der an arch of light, did itself proud iii
the perfect harmony and sweetness OF
its selections. When to its enchanting
strains the grand march was completed

OF LaFranee roses. and wore ornaments
of diamonds and pearls. The gown was

THE MINISTER'S REVENGE.

A Hiawatha Clergyman preached a
rather exhaustive sermon from the text,
Thou art weighed i'll the balance and
found wanting" After the congregation
had listened about an hour some began
to get weary and went out; others fol
lowed, greatly to the annoyance of the
minister. Soon another person started,
whereupon the preacher stopped his ser
mon and said: That's right, gentlemen,
as fast as you are weighed, pass out.

FORCES WHICH MOLD CHAR

The Monroe Star: There are five
great forces Which mold the character
and make the city, State and nation.
These are the Press, the Pulpit, the Pol
itician, the Pedagogue and the Police.
If these are clean, pure and just, the
citizen will be noble, patriotic, generous,
and the nation will be great But if they
are vile and corrupt, seeking and gain
ing power and influence by debauching
the electorate, deceiving the people and
instituting false notions and doctrines.
the citizenship will be degraded and
mora1ity's robes trailed in the mire of
deception and double-dealing.

STATE FAIR ASSOCIATION
Meeting Of Directors Monday for the
Election of Officers.

The directors of the State Fair OF
Louisiana will meet tomorrow at II
o'clock for the purpose OF eIecting OF
ticers for the ensuing year. The officers
to be elected are i president, two vice
presidents, i treasurer and a secretary.
It iS not possible t" forecast who will
lie named to fiji these offices. but it l.
evident that some 81 the directors are
opposed to Secretary ScoFeli and may
submit the name Of an out of town gen
tleman 10Y the office.
The policy of going out Of town for
a man to fill a position i'll Shreveport Is
nonsensical. A few days since the Pro
gressive League had under considera-
ton gentleman from New Orleans for
their secretary manager at fancy price
salary, In Shreveport will be found gen
tlemen equally as well if not better quail
flied to fill such position.
This observation applies to the office
of Secretary OF the State Fair Associa-
ton. The friends Of Captain NJ. L. SEQ
veil. who IS now absent III California,
believe he should be reelected as he
fulfilled creditably the duties assigned to
him. which were trying and arduouS. 1t
would be a discredit to have an out Of
town man to- fill either the secretarySh hip
,of the League or the State Fair Asso-
citation. If there is not i'll Shreveport
men well qualified to fill these and other
positions, no matter how important,
then Shreveport should cease its boast
ings. The very suggestion OF going out
Iof town for a man to he the secretary
Of Ne Progressive League or the secre-
tarv OF the Fair Association is ridicu-
lous.

LOYAL TO MOTHER NORMAL.

The loyal friends OF the Oregon
State Normal School at Monmouth
have come to the rescue Of the insti'
tuition and have met the conditions
imposed by the new board OF regents.
Messrs. Ressler and Perkins appeared
before the executive committee in
Salem last week and rendered check
for three thousand dollars as a dona-
tion to conduct the school during the
ensuing year. This is one half OF the
required amount and the board has
allowed until the 1st Of February for
the deposit Of the balance, Other
revenues from tuition and local tax
alton Gncluding mills special tax
will add between eight and nine
thousand dollars. The budget for the
year has been reduced from nineteen
to fourteen thousand dollars by cut
ting down the salaries of the instruc.
tors, with their full consent, an act OF
devotion which shows their loyalty to
the old school.
1t will be remembered that the old
board of regents, at its annual meet
ing in June, reelected the faculty, let
contracts for fuel, and otherwise pro-
vided for the continuance of the Mon
mouth Normal. The new board, at
its meeting July IS, accepted the
action Of the old board and assumed
full control. At later meeting, Aug
ust 20, it rescinded its former action
on the ground that the law prohibited
the assumption of any obligations in
excess of the probable revenues.
Since the appropriation, vetoed by the
Governor, could not become available
until passed upon by the next legis-
lature, the board decided that no
account could be taken of it,
This caused the board to vote not to
continue the school until a sufficient
sum was deposited as an absolute
donation, which, together with the
other fixed revenues, would place
enough funds at its disposal to guar
antee the expenses of the institution
for the entire year. Now that this has
been done and the donation accepted
by the executive committee, Monmouth
is officially authorized to continue
and will therefore open its doors on
September "a for its twenty-sixth
year. The business-like methods of
the new board, the personnel of its
membership and the increased de-
mand in the state for Normal trained
teachers, all combine to make the
prospects bright for the best year in
its history. Its friends are rallying
about it as never before.
Monmouth has sent out over $50
graduates during the past twenty-five
years and thousands of others have
received a partial preparation for the
work Of teaching. Ten of the thirty
county superintendents are graduates
and scores OF principals in the towns
and villages claim her as their alma
mater, while hundreds of others are
grade teachers in the town and coun-
try schools. With these loyal children
and the thousands of friends over the
state, the Mother Normal looks forward
with confidence to the verdict of the
people at the polls next June, when
the question of its continuance is to be
submitted through the initiative.
