The meeting of teachers and
schooloficers in this city Wednesday
was successful from every point of
view. A greater number were in at
tendance than ever before, the opera
house being filled. The illustrated
lecture by State Supt Ustrud received
many compliments from those pres
ent. The work by Supt Seymour was
also greatly appreciated. The large
attendance shows that the people of
this county are interested in school
affairs.
Friday last Justice O.. B Lemon
was occupied in the afternoon by the
case of Mrs. Anna Anderson VS.. Christ
Jensen, both of Badger township The
matter originally involved the ques-
ton of one dollar 10 dispute over
wages of Mr.. Jenson's boys dur
ing harvest. 1t is not our intention
to discuss the merit of the claim. 1t
is sufficient to say that the parties
did not agree in the matter. That
they did not agree was not an indica-
ton that the matter had been forgot
ten, however. In the course of time
a sheep belonging to Mrs. Anderson
strayed onto the Jensen property. Mr..
Jensen took the animal up and refus-
ed to release it until payment of a
certain sum was made. Rather than
concede to the demands Mrs. Ander-
son resorted to law and secured pos
session of the animal by writ of re-
plevin. At the trial of the case the
plaintiff had several witnesses and
the defendant a large number. The
trial took the greater part of the af-

personal work to influence others
and bring them to Christ.
A most impressive incident was
witnessed at the close of the service
when fully 100 men came forward In
response to a request for those who
would make this effort to be well
pleasing to God. 1t as very evident
that in Pendleton religion Is not con-

that there are a good many men
who consider that as a definite part

The monthly reports of the state
normal schools Of Oregon which have
lust been filed with the Normal
board at Salem. shows most crafty
ing returns from the Weston normal
which leads all others in point Of at

The report shows the following at
tendance at the different schools as
follows: Weston, 173; Ashland, 1875;
Monmouth. 1875; Drain, 70; total,
507.
This is one OF the most conclusive
and emphatic arguments ever yet
presented for a larger, better equip
ped and more thorough normal
school at Weston. and has made a
most favorable impression upon the
state normal board.
The report of the Weston school Is
also gratifying to President French
who has worked hard to build up tbs
attendance and to whose tireless en-
ergy and thorough canvassing o.

eastern Oregon is due the good pat
ronage enjoyed by the Weston nor
NAL.
This is the banner enrolment at
Weston and while the teaching facili-
ties could accommodate many more,
the dormitory facilities have been
overflowing and crowded to the ut
most capacity for several months
There is urgent need of new DOR
mitory facilities and more accommo-
dations for students. The present
high enrolment is taken by Presi-
dent French and the normal board
to mean that the attendance at the
Weston school is certain to grow from
year to year and eastern Oregon
comes to recognize the need Of the
school and unless something is done
by the next legislature toward furn-
ishing needed improvements it will
be impossible to care for all who de-
sire to attend.

Big Attendance at Morning and
Evening Services Yesterday
Marked Manifestation of Rcver-
ence and DevOtlon-One Hundred
Men Come Forward to Show Sim
cerity'-Great Chorus Works I'm
Harmony With Efforts Of Evan
gellst.

All expectations were met In the
union evangellstic meetings yester-
day. A great audience that comfort
ably filled the church in both audi
torium and class room gathered
promptly at half past ten. 1t was an
audience unified by common faith
and experience, and therefore keenly
alive to the significance and posslbil-
ity of the hour.
Seldom is service Of worship
conducted with greater reverence
and manifest devotion on the part OF
the congregation than marked the
united churches yesterday.
One Of the characteristic features
of great revivals is the singing. 1t is
safe to say that Pendleton never
heard more hearty singing than was
heard yesterday under the leadership
of Mr.. Haudenschield and the great
chorus. It is an inspiration to hear
II. Every seat in the chorus was oc-
cupied and every one in the congre-
CATION that could sing seemed to be
at 1t.
Special numbers were rendered by
the chorus at both services and II 1:
common wonder how Mr. Hauden'
schield has brought so large a COM
pany into such efficient work in les:
than a week. The singing Of male
quartette was much appreciated al
the evening service. and is antici
pated as a feature OF the service this
evening.

Chief Peo-Peo-Talik Finds Spouse
Has Forked Tongue and Gives Up
Pursuit Of His Helpmate.
Chief Peo-Peo-T Talk, prominent
among his Nez Perce people as
leader in their councils and celebra-
tions. is evidently not appreciated
by his young and handsome Umatilla
wife, who recently deserted her
spouse and returned to Pendletor
with the family purse, containing
about $780, says the Lewiston Tri-
bune.
The venerable chief has returned
from Pendieton, where he interview
ed the truant wife, who promised to
return TO his tepee within short
time. but Peo-Peo Talk believes sn'
talks with a forked tongue, and little
expects to see her face again about
his camp fire.
The woman came to the Nez Perce
reservation a short time before the
beginning of the Christmas dance
and the old warrior becoming enam-
ored of her secured her hand in IN
| dian marriage. She remained in his
tepee and cooked his meals for a
period of several weeks, and the first
intimation of her dissatisfaction WIN
the marriage contract was her de-
parture for Pendleton while Peo-
Peo-Talik was visiting another Sec
ton of the reservation.
