Military Encampment.

Much interest is now taken in the military encampments of the state. It is understood and practically agreed that the First and Second regiments of infantry will come to Montgomery, along with the cavalry squadron. Col onels Hubbard and Bricken of the in- fantry are thought to lean to this city, which is certainly the choice of Maj. B. F. Noble of the horsemen. The Third will be at Birmingham or OK ford, it Is now thought.

Bright Musician Dead.

The death of Robert B. Eilenberg early Monday morning took away one of the brightest musicians in the United States. He had played before many of the crowned heads of Europe and fre- quently filled engagements in the most cultured circles of the east. Though but 37 year sof age he had attained more than a national reputation as a pianiste and composer. He and Mrs Eilenberg were planning to get away soon for two years abroad. Pneumonia, however, caused his death.

The race was closely contested and

capabilities of the different build OF

A good start was obtained, and
the boats were sent away by Ken

\ short distance from the spar buoy
the Pearl overlapped the Wren and
rounded the mark well in the lead.
Then the sloop began to gain a lot
on the Wren, and. when the bell
buoy was rounded was at least half
minute ahead. On the beat up
the harbor the Pearl was one minute
in the lead, and the Wren did not
appear to have chance. However,
the Wren began to gain shortly aft
erwards, and had made up half a
minute of the difference when the
iinish came.
The sloop seems to be the faster
boat, and on the wind she has a
great advantage, Next Sunday there

MARRIAGE SECRET II YEARS
Sons Wife Under Assumed Name,
Nurses Mrs. Dunn Until Death.

Sa. Louis-Rather than distress his
mother, who led him to believe she
preferred him to remain single, John
Dunn, a millwright of this city, for
seventeen years kept the fact of his
marriage from her. 1t was likewise
secret to Dunn's brothers and sis
tiers until after the death of the
mother, despite the fact that the wo-
man who nursed Mrs. Dunn with ten
der care during her last illness was
the wife of her son.
| The announcement of the marriage
was made in Alton, where the elder
Mrs. Dunn resided, a few days ago.
The relatives of Dunn were greatly
surprised to know that the woman
who had won the affection of the en-
tire family while nursing her was the
wife of the son.
Mrs Dunn the elder, was taken i'll
about a year ago, and owing to her
age the physician offered
but little hope of her recovery, Her
three children, two of whom. daugh-
ters, reside in Memphis, Tenn, were
in constant attendance on her during
the early stages of her illness. Then
their own household duties called
them away, and it was decided to get
a nurse. The son said he knew a
in st. Louis whom he thought
would accept the place, and a few
lays later a Mrs. Murphy came and |
ook charge of the patient.-St, Louis |

he passed, was taken before Justice

had been hired by John $. Baird, to-
gether with seventeen others more
than two years ago.
While driving near the Crocker es-
tate a short time ago Brucker was
greeted by familiar voice. He rec
ognized 1t as that of the missing
mule.
In court Brucker swore that the
mule was branded with the firms
initials, "B. c." on the hip and &c"
on the shoulders, the same as the
other animals.
He also called several expert wit
nesses on mule dentistry to show that
the animal was his property.
Judge Treadwell was | invited by
both sides to inspect the mile, but
he refused, and decided the case on
the testimony in favor Of the plain

MALHEUR MEN
AFTER PROJECT
WHIRLWIND CAMPAIGN
HAS BEEN PLANNED
Water Users Association VIII Make
Energetic Canvass TO Secure
Names of Ranchers to Petition for
Big Government Reclamation Pro-
ject In Eastern Part of State.

The central committee which is or.
ganizing the Malheur Water Users
association, which will cooperate witt
the United States reclamation serv.
Ice in the construction of the Nal.
heur irrigation and drainage project
covering 100000 acres in this county
has decided upon a whirlwind cam.
paign during the next six weeks tC
secure signatures of landowners to the
proposition. says a dispatch from
Vale. At meeting held last night II
was decided to issue special form OF
petition for the signatures of those
ranchers who already have irrigation
systems, this form containing a pro-
visio that wet land owners shall re-
ceve "just and fair" compensation for
their water rights. 1t also was decid-
ed to petition the reclamation service
to have its engineers lay out the
drainage system on the lOwlands so
that the work may be undertaken by
the ranchers at once. In most cases
the subsurface drainage system will
have to be adopted as precaution
against the rising of alkali when the
higher or "bench" lands shall be ir-
rigated
The protection of the rights and in
terests of those ranchers who have
constructed irrigation systems of their
own is the point upon which the re-
vival of this great project mainly de-
pends, and the central committee is
strongly in favor of the most gener-
Gus treatment of those pioneers of ir-
rlgation who hold land under the gov
ernment project. As matter of fact,
the dry land owners are perfectly will
ing to bear the extra burden incurred
by the compensation of wet land own
ers. and cooperation between all COM
ing under the project seems now to
be assured.
A. w Trow, a newcomer and ex-
tensive landowner, has been appoint
ed assistant to the manager and or
organizer of the project, Walter Grif-
fiths, and the soliciting of signatures
to the petition will go forward with
renewed vigor. Up to this time over
10000 acres have been signed up.
Drainage District Bill.
A bill providing for the organization
of an Irrigation and drainage district
covering the territory included in the
Malheur project has been prepared
by Walter Griffiths and will be SUBJ
mitted to the state legislature at an
early date by Representative Brooke.
The passage OF this measure by the
legislature would assure the construc-
lion of the project, as it would place
n the hands of the district power to
condemn all lands not signed up vol
It is probable that strong
obby will be sent down TO Salem from
Yale. Ontario and Nyssa to work for
he measure.

will be commenced by the government !

CAT A MARRIAGE BAROMETER
Texas Possesses Feline That Is
Strangely Fascinating TO Lovers

4
Beaumont, Texas-H. H. Russell OF
Grange, Tex, the thriving lumber
city who is treasurer OF Orange
county is the owner of a most re-
markable cat that is strangely fascf-
mating to sweethearts both old and
young. Not only that, but the friend
ship Of this feline whose name is
Delhia, Is a sure indication Of early
marriage with those whom she con-
descends to bestow her friendship
and acquaintance upon.
Delhia has followed thus far In her
three or four year career dozen or
more couples to the altar.
Mr.. Russell has watched his pussy
cat. and when sic makes friends
with the young lady, or perchance
It may be an old maid, Mr.. Russell
prepares for the announcement that
the fortunate parsonage is soon to
be married. Mr.. RuGsel has come to
regard the cat Delhia as every one
does who knows the feline, as "a first
aid to cupid" and he declares there
are several young ladies in Orange
making goo-goo eyes at his pussy
endeavoring to make friends with
her.
The matter has leaked out that on
account of this cats strange influ-
ence on marriage, that young ladies'
and the young men too, are constant
" trying to steal Delhia. For this
reason Mr.. Russell is careful to lock
the cat up securely every night be-
fore going to bed, and she is care
fully watched during the daytime by
Mrs. Russell and the children.-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

the auditorium was now at the disposal
of the meeting. There was general
laugh, but the session refused to move
again.
Principal Homer Z. Wakefield read
an interesting paper on 1.-The Minimum
Apparatus for the teaching of Sciences,
and the Means of Acquiring it, One
thing which he brought out was that it
is not necessary to have an extensive
apparatus in the high school laboratory
but it lessons the labor Of the instructor.
He stated that an apparatus improvlscd
by a thoughtful and capable teacher,
from materials to he found in any COM
munitv is often more eiicctual than one
purchased at much expense, but it re-.
Quircd much extra work on the part OF
the teacher. ilc touched a responsive
chord from many present when he
stated that lack of sympathy and apprc,
citation on the part of school boards had
crippled much otherwise cXrcllcnt work,
and advised the teachers to get behind
the school boards till they are com
PEELED to employ good workmcn and
then give them good tools to work with.
Miss Hattie Carpenter, principal OF
Miami High School, led the discussion
OF the subject "l:lastcity in the High
School to Meet Local Needs" Miss
Carpenter talked as one Who has some
thing to say and knows how to say it.
Her pepper bristlcd with good points
cVcclcntly stated, and was interrupted
by hearty applause all through the
reading of it. Local needs depend
largely on financial and climatic con
ditions. Elasticity in the course of
study might be gained by the introduce
ton of practical agriculture, mechanical
and domestic science as the needs OF
the particular section may suggest, If
the curriculum is adhered to then elias
ITCHY may be gained in the Introduction
of frills and furbclows literary socic-
ties, debating clubs, etc.
Principal J. H. Workman followed
this with a brief paper on the same sub
jcct but confir.ing the elasticity more to
the course Of study, advocating an
elective course. with the elective att
thority vested in the principal.

questions treated in the various papers,
