Elma, Wash, March 16.-Heavy
continuous rain has prevailed in the
Chehalis valley for several days past
The Chehalis river, running over its
banks, is still rising and the highest
water in many years is now expected
and being prepared for. There was a
steady downpour of heavy rain all
through the night, and it continues
today unabated.
Not a log will be left in any of the
creeks and rivers, every driving
stream will be swept clean, so great
is the flood raging through Chehalis
county at this time. Logs that have
hung for years on gravel bars and
high banks will go down to the
booms on Grays EarbO"

The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1908-08-21

We often attempt to regulate the
lives Of our friends through imposing
our own Wills upon them. This we do
under the impression that our con-
ception OF truth is superior to theirs.
and that we see more clearly than
they do. This is really but form OF
selfishness, and binds all who indulge
in it, both the strong and the weak.
OF course there is a point where a
kind and friendly desire to help an
other may be productive Of good. But
when the desire to help another in
wolves the subjugation Of his spirit
and understanding, then that desire
becomes a selfish one. For you can
not force a knowledge OF truth upon
anyone Only love and patience and
living the truth yourself can bring II
to the consciousness Of your friends

The Woman and the Earrings.

Now look at that woman, said a

wonan hater, wearing earrings in
this day and generation. Actually
piercing the flesh so as to further
adorn herself. as though enough or
naments could not be hung or other
wise attached to the person. never
have been able to understand why
they do not still wear rings in their
noses and bells on their toes and put
court plaster beauty spots on their
faces, just as they. used to do, and
bit farther back put paint on their
faces Indian fashion, and a bit farther
back still-indeed, one may 20 to the
African gold coast to-day and find men
as well as women cutting vertical
slashes in their faces as marks Of
beauty. However, mind you, am not
kicking 1t is just encouraging to OBJ

earrings"

Danbury-Charles Wildman, 50 years old, was found in the bedroom of his home on Locust avenue yes terday morning with his throat cut. It is probable he committed the act when deranged. He has chance for recovery. ..
 Bloomfield-A large two and one half story frame dwelling house owned by Henry Strauss was burned with it's contents on Saturday after noon. The house was situated on Prospect hill about mile southeast of Bloomfield center.
 Bristol-The infant daughter of Mir and Mrs Stanley Rojovsky was probably fatally burned 1t her home here yesterday. The baby caught hold of table cover and pulled a lighted kerosene lamp over on the bed, setting the bed clothes afire.
 New Haven-The largest black fish caught since the fishing fleet began going down to the breakwater this season was exhibited in Fair Ha- ven Saturday night by George Sturges. The fish weighed 12A pounds and Mir Sturges believes it is the prize blackfish for weight this season. Blackfish are reported plen- tiful in the lower harbor.

MORIARTY ALTERNATE
Will Accompany Attorney Ken.
 Dedy 10 Denver Convention.

All aboard for Denver! This is the slogan from now on until July when the national demo- cratic association will be called to order at that place. William Ken nedy of Naugatuck, who was ap- pointed delegate from this state New Haven, has chosen John Moriar- ty alternate. Both will leave here with high hopes on July 3 for Springfield. where they will be
 joined by delegates from other parts of Connecticut. Everything looks bright for a democratic victory this fall and whether anything will hap pen now and between that time to mar the chances of a return to power of the party of the people will depend en- tirely upon the work performed at the Denver convention. While it IS no wild statement to say that each delegate has some idea of his own as to the best man to put at the head of the ticket, yet it is admitted that nobody is so wrapped up in any particular man but that he is willing to turn to somebody else provided 1t can be shown that such a course was in the interest of the party. The people of the United States demand a change, and no wonder, for there is no denying the fact that busi- ness is poor all over the country, and has been so for the past six months or more, and the outlook for improvement is not good. With this prospect in view it is nothing more than reasonable to conclude that level headed voters, regardless or their political preferences would want to lend hand towards bring ing about something better than can be hoped under republican rule.

TUBERCULOSIS WARD
Inspected Saturday Evening By
 City Officials and Others.


 Mayor Thoms and a number of other city officials visited the Brook side home Saturday evening for the purpose of inspecting the new tuber- culosis ward just finished on the upper floor of building. The new quarters are something of surprise to those who thought that a suitable place for tuberculosis par tients could not be hewn out there, many taking the ground that the ventilation would be poor and the ceiling unsatisfactory. But this is not so. The new ward is well venti- lated and when furnishings are in 1t will be about as neat place of the kind as one could find. A veranda facing towards the south furnishes an excellent opportunity for pa- tients to promenade up and down in the beautiful sunshine that strikes there when there is any sunshine at all, and the number of windows at different points give all the light and ventilation desired. It is equipped with suitable dining rooms, QlSp6nSdTy, DdlH FOOulS, ClOb- cts, and in fact everything necessary for the running of tuberculosis ward without depending upon oth- CT parts of the building for anything.
 Something of this kind has been talked of for years, but it remained for the present board to take hold of it and put it through as far as possible with the funds at their dis posal. In commenting upon the work done at the Brookside the past two years Mayor Thoms said that the Brookside home people owe great deal to Commissioner Murphy for the Improvements made at the institution. The changes now under way are in charge of MT Murphy and MT Wolf and it goes without saying that they are turning the money in- trusted to them to good account.
 The house and grounds show un- mis signs of constant care on the part of Superintendent Brennan, everything in and about the place being scrupuIously neat and clean and the patients are apparently hap py and eontented with their lot.

WRITE MAYOR THOMS
Teachers Explain Why They Ask
 Additional Salary.

The three teachers in the high school who last week filed bills for s100 each for extra work with the board of finance have communicated to Mayor Thoms the full particulars of each bill. They have taken this step in view of the action of the board of education last Monday evening in approving a bill for $100 for extra work from Joseph Kennedy, teach CT in the same school. MT Kennedy's claim was based on work he claimed to have done on extra or double pe- riods of teaching. The situation looks as though if MT Kennedy had not put in a bill the three other teachers, Edmee Pretat, Harriet D. Abbott and Caroline l.. Ernesty, would not have thought of asking re- muneration for their extra work.
 It Is also said that the board of finance might have looked favorably upon Mir Kennedy's claim had not three colleagues filed similar bills with the board. Naturally members of the board of finance asked each other where these claims for extra work were to end when they were confronted by three more claims. The following is copy of the let ters received by Mayor Thoms today He will bring them before the next meeting of the board of education which will be held a week from to- night, unless special meeting is called meanwhile to take action upon them. ..-E To the Chairman of the Board of Edu-
 cation of Waterbury. Conn.
 herewith enclose my bill for ex- tra services. Will you please present it to the board of education at its next meeting.
 Respectfully,
 CAROLINE L. ERNESTY.
 June 8, 1908.
 To the Board of Education,
 Wm E, Thoms. Chairman.
 Dear Sir: AS have taught six periods day for four years, always having large classes, also giving an afternoon every week for almost two terms each year, I beg your notice to my application for the same increase granted for extra work. Respectfully, EDMEE PRETAT.
 June 6, 1908.
 Waterbury, Conn, June 8, 1908. The Board of Education, Waterbury, Conn.
 Dear Sirs: If additional pay is to be given for additional services, I feel that the enclosed bill Is but a small one for services rendered. For four years had the geometery review class (for work with which MT Kennedy asks s100) in my so- called free period" For an equal period of time, I have, without re- muneration, made all the hectogra phs for the public schools. Since Febru- ary first, this year, have had one algebra class and five large botany classes in very crowded room. Bot any, being conducted by the labora- tory method, necessitates much prepa- ration, every bit of which have had to make out of school hours. Six periods of work with large classes in large. airy room would not be so difficult but, under the con- ditions existing in my room, it is most difficult.
 | Very sincerely yours, HARRIET E. ABBOTT.
