A REGULAR
School of Telegraphy
Organized and Opened
at the
Southwestern Louisiana
Industrial Institute,
Lafayette, La.

We have succeeded in securing the
services of Mr.. John 1. Hulse, now a
train dispatcher at Beaumont, Texas,
on the Sante Fe Railroad, to conduct
the School of Telegraphy, devoting
his entire time to this work, which will
begin December l. 1907.
The eight hour law, which will go
into effect January l, will require three
telegraph operators for all positions
where only two r now sufficient.
Therefore the demand for operators
will be greatly increased. For several
years to come no telegraph operators
will aver be out of a job unless he
strikes.
Write to US about entering: also get
a catalog Of the Institute, with full in
formation concerning all departments.
We have a large brick main building
and two large brick dormitories, one
for each sex.

TIME WAS TOO PRECIOUS.
Why Visitors Could Not Be Admitted
to Workroom.

Perhaps there never was given a
more striking instance OF the value 81
minutes than the following: A party
# ladies and gentlemen were shown
through a very large carpet establish
ment a few days ago. They were per-
mitted to look into every nool. and
corner of the building except cae. At
the bottom OF q stairway they came
upon a closed door. upon which were
the words. Positively no ad4iittance."
The curiosity Of the ladies' was now
awakened and one inquired eagerly:
What is up there?"
THAT is our workshop" explained
the representative Of The firm. I'VE
have $50 women on tina. floor sewing
carpets"
OH should like - see them u
work." said the fair alestioner, with
a playfully beseechin1 look.
Il am very sorry thu. l cannot take
you up there" replied the firms rep
resentative, but thes rules are very
strict. Really, there IS nothing worth
looking at, and there are no trade Sc
crets. The reason wfE the firm inter
diets visitors is because the presence
of strangers in the room causes every
sewing woman to lool up, and takes
her attention of her work from one te
Ave minutes. Suppose each woman
loses an average of two Z inutes. With
1sO women that means a loss to the
Arm of 800 minutes, u i've 'hour
Of time. That is too much to lose
when we are working under . great
pressure as we are pow."-Tit-Btts.

High School Notes
by Bernard Angell.)

The class in geometry is wrestling with
Myers geometric exercises for algebraic;
solution.
MIR. Batten visited the high school last.
week Thursday and addressed the pupils
for few minutes. !;
The school library has just received a,
copy of the 1906 Year Book of the de-;
partment of agriculture.
At the teachers meeting on Monday.
evening the teaching of arithmetic was
the subject for discussion. :
Miss Mckenzie presented the school
with beautiful star-fsh and an interest
ing rock containing several specimens of
fossil leaves.
The ancient history class has been.
studying the art and literature of the
Romans. Many people probably do not
know that modern law codes are nearly.
all based upon the Roman.
1t is of considerable interest to know
that "Myths of the Red Children" an
excellent reading book for the children
in the grades, was written by Gilbert r
Wilson, former resident of Mandan,
now living at Langdon, this state.
On Friday, February Fl, patriotic songs
were sung in all grades, and there was
special music in the high school. The
little children from Miss Spears room
and chorus of boys from the fourth and
fifth grades furnished the special music.
The class in English II is studying
Homer's Iliad. This story is supposed
to have been composed by. the blind
poet, Homer, some 900 years b, C., and
for several centuries was transmitted
verbally from mouth to mouth. A class
ofmen grew up who journeyed to alllands
where Greek was spoken, reciting these
stories, the Iliad, and the Odyssey, which
isiby the same author and a continuation
Of the Iliad, and so preserving them to
future ages. The stories give us pict-
ure of Greek life in those early days and
also an idea of their religion, knowledge,
etc.

EXODUS OF ITALIANS.
They Are Driven Out by Threats of
Being Blown Up.

Kentwood. La, Feb. 29.-Kentwood

who quietly took possession last night
to prevent threatened violence against
aliens. Within the last two days self
styled vigilantes have warned scores
Of italians to leave town by the end
of this week If they did not wish to be
blown up with dynamite. Frightened
Italians yesterday left 50 rapidly that
the Italian population Of 200 was re-
duced by about half.
The main complaint against these
foreigners was that they had accepted
without contest out in wages from
$1.75 to S1.25 per day In the lumber
mills where most of them were en-
ployed.
The italian trouble here is similar
to that which recently occurred in
other parts of the state. in which ma
tives undertook violently to drive
heap foreign labor away from lumber
mills. In the other disturbances at
least one foreigner was killed and sew
eral badly wounded.

new KIND OF CONTEST.
Washbu1n and X. q. Glee Clubs to
Decide Which Is Better.

be OF unusual interest to Topeka mu-
sic lovers has been provided for To-

merit will be the result Of the careful
training of both clubs for this contest

cal organizations. The X U. club
was in Topeka several weeks ago and
made decided hit. Some of the
singers in this organization have had
experience on the Lyceum platform
and are no amateurs. The Washburn
club, while 1t has met with great sue
ganization. Their experience is con-
fined to their work this season as with
but one or two exceptions none of the
members have participated in similar
work before. They made their initial
appearance in the college chapel in a.
usually well received by a critical au-
dfence. Since that time they have
made several trips to near by towns
and in every place where they have
given entertainments they have been
showered with encomiums of praise by
the local press.

there will be some additional num-
bers. Miss Grace Boles, who is rec
ognfzed as one of the leading soloists
of the city will sing several selections.
Miss Elinor Lincoln will also assist
with few readings and fmpersona-
tons

which will be characterized by big
display OF college spirit and loyalty,
such as is always evidenced when the
representatives OF Wash burn and K.
U. clash in any kind of competition.
An admission OF fifty cents will be
charged which will he given to the
Pipe Organ association.

McComas called at the woman's home
yesterday afternoon and about mid
night the two quarreled.
McComas alleges that the woman
dashed a cupful of sulphuric acid in
his face and the shooting followed:
McComas Immediately rushed out of
the house and into the Hotel Pepper,
nearby, where a dancing party was go

had just killed a woman and gave his
revolver to one of the men there. Nc
Comas' blistered face and hands ana
his discolored hair seem to bear out
his statement that the woman dashed
