INSTITUTE CLOSES
Was q Successful and Profitable
Gathering.

The Institute closed today at |
o'clock In order to allow the teach
to attend the county teachers exam
ination to be- held at Rathdrum be-
ginning tomorrow. Fully 80 teachers
left on the 3 p, m. train for that
place.
The mornings program was some
what shortened. Miss Eggeman and
Mrs. Charles Sohattner gave violin
solo which was particularly enjoyed.
Not less than lit attended the In
stltute during Its session here.
This compares very favorahly with
last years attendance of l49 mas
much as the county has been divided
since then, Bonner county being out
of.
The examination will be largely
attended in order to raise grades aud
secure certificates. The school boards
will not employ teachers In many
districts unless they carry first grades
which always command better wages
because fewer teachers have the higher
grades. THIS affords an inducsment
for teachers to work up In their pro.

VERDICT IS SECRET
DECISION ON REV. SNEAD'S
CASE REACHED.
Bishop Scarborough, However, Refuses
to Make Public Findings About
"son-of-a-Gun" Clergyman.

TRENTON, Nov. 12.-After a star
chamber session at the home of Bishop
Scarborough hat lasted from 8 O'Clock
in the morning until $50 in the after
noon, at which all the Incidents in the
controversy of the Rev. William 7.
Snead and his vestrymen were re-
hearsed in detail, a decision was
reached that is said to be in favor of
the rector, and that is accompanied by
a reprimand from the head of the do
cese.
All of the testimony that winds out
in a story dating back for six weeks
and forming the basis for the fourteen
separate charges preferred by the YES
trymen was recited. This was compiled
in the shape of a report and was signed
by every committeeman present.
Following the session Bishop Scar
borough was pressed for a statement in
regard to the decision that had been
reached, but declined to make the de-
tails public.
Can you say that the decision has
been In favor of Mr., Snead?" was
asked.
Nov, don't you say that" flashed
the bishop. fr
The force of his remark was plain
when it was stated by one of the Bev-
erly vestrymen late in the night that
Mr.. Snead had been censured for Sin
discreet conduct. From another remark
of the bishop it was inferred that the
case had been ended formally, and that
there would be no appeal to the civil
court.
1t is a fact, however, that the rector
had been anxious to carry the case fur
Their thar the standing committee, but
Bishop Scarborough is believed to have
discountenanced any move that would
bring st. Stephens Protestant Episco-
pal Church under q brighter light.
Mr. Snead was equally reticent and yet
there is a reason for his silence. He has
been forbidden to talk by authorities higher
up.
The charges against the Rev. Mr.. Spead
were the outgrowth of discord that APP
peared in st, Stephens Church some time
ago. The rector was charged with making
threats against officials Of the church, d
saying improper things in and out of the
pulpit, calling himself a ''son of n gun
during a Sunday school session and other
things. He and his loyal friends have re-
garded the charges as trivial. The vestry.
men, however. have regarded the matter
In a totally different light.
