Phrenokosmian of Augustana to Enter

nual reception tomorrow, evening i'll
the college gymnasium. The reception
has been long anticipated by the stu
dents. but has been delayed by other
events. A good program has been ar
ranged.
Pitt Parker the celebrated cartoon
ist and chalk talker, easily demon
strated his right to the reputation he
has gained as an entertainer before a
large audience in the college auditor
ium last night. For rapid-fire witt
cism interspersed between his sketches
nothing has been heard here that has
quite equaled Mr.. Parker's perform
ance last night If Mr. Parker was
not a success as an artist and cartoon
list, he could easily make a success as
a second Artemus Ward.

dustrial school which was erected by
the city the first Of the year, on North
Twenty-ninth street, is making ar
rangements to install the wood turn
ing, pattern making, forging and ma
chine shop equipment chat has been
ordered.
Commenting on the Importance Of
q manual and Industrial school in
e%quipping boys to secure a special
training in mechanical pursuits, Mr..
Beswick said yesterday:
"The purpose and aim Of education
is to fit the youth to live intelligent
lives, to think out problems and to
execute them. It is getting to be a
more essential part OF a boys educa-
ton to be able to execute his ideas
with his own resources.
Some Of the large manufacturers
OF the country are requiring a diploma
from some manual training school be-
fore they are allowed to enter any
line in their establishments. These
boys are started in from the bottom
but climb the ladder more rapidly
and become the very best foremen and
superintendent, because Of their co.
relation with class room work.
In New York the need of manual
training in connection with the com
mon school system is becoming more
pressing. Governor Hughes, during
the last session OF the legislature,
said in his annual message that the
present system of school training was
insufficient to the American youth and
recommended the introduction of man
ual training.
In the Billings manual training
school work along a strictly practical
line will be taught. There is to be a
regular four years course in this
branch which will enter any boy com
pleting It into any Of the foremost
universities and technical schools Of
the country, with advance credit in
shop work and mechanical drawing"

HOMEWARD BOUND ARE.
H0RDES OF FOREIGNERS
immigration Authorities Say Aliens
Are Returning to Their Native
Lands In Ever lncreas-
Ing Numbers

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 22.-Immigration
authorities say the homeward tide of
foreigners is again on the increase.
Europeans steamers in the past four
days have carried away not less than
10, 400 aliens as steerage passengers.
The weeks total is expected to reach
upward of 1900.
Directly after the financial furry in
October last there was heavy rush
among the foreigners to leave the coun-
try. During November and early De-
cember European vessels left with
steerage compartments crowded to
overflowing, and leaving behind hum
dreds for whom there was no room
For full month the outrush had a
total of $1,000 and $4,000 weekly, then
fell off somewhat, until in January,
February and March the weekly aver
ages were $4,000 and 15,000-even then
being 300 and 400 per cent greater than
year ago. With April there was still
another increase, and the May average
has grown to 1900 weekly, without any
signs of decreasing.
Statistics show that since October
between 475,000 and 100000 l9borers de-
parted, and no let up is looked for by
the steamship companies for some time
to come.
The shutting down of factories, sus-
pension of railroads and public i'm
provement work and the general cessa-
tion of business activity that has
thrown thousands out of employment
are held to be responsible for the move
ment eastward.
During the first four months of 1907
the total exodus of laborers was So, 731.
while for the first four months of this
year the figures reached 239,010, an in
crease of 1929. During the same
period Of 1907 there reached here 404,-
Ss9. while in the same months of this
year the arrivals numbered but 124,-
392. a decrease of 279,040.

RAILROADS TIED
UP BY FLOODS
CLOUDBURSTS IN OKLAHOMA
ARE SERIOUS
Elevators Forced to Stop, and Hotels
and Restaurants Are Practi-
calIy Put Out of Busi-
ness
b. Associated Press.

b. Associated Press.
MUSKOGEE, Okla, May 24.-Not a
railroad in Oklahoma Is in operation
tonight as a result of the heavy rains
and cloudbursts that have occurred in
various parts OF the state during the
last three days.
The last road to suspend operations
was the Missouri, Kansas & Texas,
which was forced to quit at noon to-
day, when the bridge on the main line
at Eufala went down.
To add to the disaster the main sup
plying natural gas to the Indian Terri
tory part of the state was carried away
with the Clarksville bridge late today
and the supply of gas for Muskogee and
several other cities has been entirely
cut off. Officials of the gas company
say 1t will be week before repairs can
be made so the gas supply can again
be carried.
AS natural gas is used for both light
and heat, business will be suspended in
a measure. Elevators have been forced
to stop running, and hotels and res
taurants have practically been put out
of business.
During the past ten hours there has
been rainfall of twenty inches in this
section of the state The previous fall
during the last three days of more than
ten inches contributed to the damaging
flood.
Tracks Washed Away
The Chicago, Rock Island e. Pacific
suspended operations Saturday, while a
mile of its tracks I'm the Seminole coun-
try was washed away.
The st. Louis & San Francisco did
likewise early today, and soon after the
Midland Valley and the Missouri, Okla
homa e. Gulf suspended train business.
The last train over the Missouri, Kan
sas & Texas was No. 4, northbound.
which crossed the Canadian river at 10
o'clock this morning. Two hours later
the bridge went out. The flyer on the
same road Is safe, but No. 6, north
bound, is in a washout south of Eufala.
Dozens of bridges on these railroads
went out today. The Canadian river
rose ten feet during the last twelve
hours and the Arkansas river eight
feet. The entire country is under water.
Late this afternoon a message was
received at the Midland Valley railroad
offices here from jerks, Okla, saying
the town was under water and that
help was needed. The railroad is power
less to send aid, as much track and a
bridge went out early. jerks is fifty
three miles north of Muskogee and is
located in extremely low country. 1t is
feared that a number of persons have
perished.
