The sixty days membership cam
paign Of the LaCreole Club closed
yesterday and already the evidences
of its great success are abundant and
manifest. About twenty-five new
members have already been taken into
the club and there still remain about
eight candidates names to be voted
on. The great increase in member
ship has resulted in an impulse of
added interest in the various diver
sions the club has to offer and the
clubroom is filled with players every
evening, where two months ago a
scanty representation of perhaps only
eight or ten was in evidence. The
organization has been put on a pay
ing basis and great strides in growth
and prosperity are anticipated during
the next few months. The clubroom
is to be renovated and partially re-
furnished and many additions to its
equipment made.

MID-YEAR COMMENCEMENT
February Class at Monmouth Nor
NAL Holds Closing Exercises
Monday Night.

After the preaching of the sermon to
the class Sunday morning. by Rev.
W. A. Wood, and the Student Semester
Assembly held at 8 o'clock yesterday
morning, the mid-year Commence
ment at the Monmouth Normal school
closed last night with the graduation
exercises held in the chapel.
The entire side Of the hall, purposely
left unoccupied, was soon filled by the
students and alumni, who entered in
procession, bearing penants, banners
and other tokens representing the
classes to which they belonged. AS
the classes were seated in the follow
ing order: freshman, sophomores,
Juniors, seniors and alumni, the hall
resounded again and again with class
yells and songs. In the alumni pro-
cession many of the older residents of
Monmouth as we'll as members Of the
faculty were numbered.
After the close of the part of the pro-
gram given by the class, every num-
ber of which was excellent. Hon. L. E.
Bean, of Lane county, delivered the
address to the class. He dwelt upon
the new duties which had become the
portion Of Oregon's citizens under
direct legislation and declared that it
was the peculiar duty and privilege
of the teachers to prepare an intelli-
ntcitizenship to cope with the larger
questions and larger demands opened
up by this broadening of its horizon.
Hon. @. L. Hawley, representative
from Polk county, delivered an address
to the audience, and Secretary G. L.
Starr, Of the State Board of Normal
Regents, charged the class, after
which the presentation of diplomas
was made by President E. D. Ressler.
In the graduating class this year
there are six members, all girls
Miss Shirley Dorsey, of Portland
Miss Effie Galbreadth, of Tualatin
Miss Isla Laughlin, of Yamhill Miss
Pearl Simmons, Of Portland; Miss

candidates for diplomas in the June
graduating class.

Good Act At Star Theater.

The two Kinsners, clever and skill
full equilibrists, appeared for the first
time in Dallas at the Star Theater last
night, and their act scored a great
success, winning enthusiastic ap-
plause from the audiences. Mr.. Kins-
ner seems able to balance anything,
from a feather up to the heaviest
weight that he can raise. His act was
cleverly diversified by quick changes,
first balancing, perhaps, a heavy
wagon wheel on his forehead, and
then following this strenuous feat with
some dainty work 10 balancing a
feather or paper cone. The program
of moving pictures is also exception
ally good this week. The Kinsners
will close their engagement at the

RUSSELL STANDS ON HIS
RECORD FOR REELECTION.
to Have Corrected 100
Mistakes While in Office.

Surrogate George E.. Russell, candi-
late for reelection on the Republican
ticket, was the principal speaker at the
five big Republican rallies held in the
city last night. Mr.. Russell said that
he was running for election on his rec
ord as surrogate.
He pointed out during his administra-
ton there had been a profit of $4,000,
all Of which went into the county treas
ury. Under the old fee system, he
said, that would have gone into the
pocket of the surrogate.
while the profit made is very salts
factory" went on Mr.. Russell, II do
not believe it good government policy
where the public uses any branch Of
our government and pays fees for
the work done, as in the surrogate's
office, that the department should be
run at a profit. The fees for doing the
work should be reduced by law SO that
the public using the office should get
the benefit Of them"
