Superintendent Glanville paid the
schools of this town visit last week.
The basket social and entertainment
given by the schools Wednesday night
was well attended and close to $50

Death Of Mrs. HoCkersmith.

The unexpected death of Mrs. j.
w. Hochersmith on Saturday, March
20, came as a shock to the people Of
Grangeville. Mrs Hockersmith had
been i'll for period of two weeks, but
fatal results of her illness had not been
anticipated.
The funeral was held from the
Church of Christ, in charge of Rev.
G. T. Mcdonald of this city, on Mon
day afternoon, and interment was
made in the Prairie View cemetery.
The wide acquaintance of Mrs.
Hockersmith and the esteem in which
she was held drew a throng of sympa-
thizing friends in attendance at the
burial rites. The discourse by Rev.
Mcdonald was most impressive, vivid
ly picturing the trancency of human
life and dwelling on the soourn here
merely as preparation and probation
for the life to come.
The deceased was born in Harrison
county, Missouri, June 5, 1872, and
was united in marriage to our fellow
citizen, Mr.. j. w. Hockersmith, Feb.
IA, 1892. In 1899 they removed to
Grangeville where they have since re-
sided.
Mrs. Hockersmith was a member Of
the Artisan lodge Of this place and an
active worker in the order. The Arti-
sans, Mayor, City Council and Odd
Fellows, of which latter two organiza-
tions Mr.. Hockersmith is member,
attended the funeral in a body.
Surviving are three brothers, one
sister, husband and three children to
miss while life endures the presence Of
loving sister, wife and mother.

iect of the assembly and asked for the
choice of the people for chairman. M.

to the city. John Coram refused to

qualified for the office and Henry
Telcher was not very anxious. How
ever Mr.. Telcher was nominated with

kAMIAH
(From Progress)

Mr.. Kennison, who was placed in
the Asylum at Oroffno last summer,
returned few days ago, having made
his escape from there. 1t occurs to us
that this happens rather Often 1t is
not two months yet since we helped to
recover another patient right here IN
this town, who had made his escape
from there, and we have heard 1t is no
uncommon occurrence. 1t seems that
the utmost care should be exercised in
keeping these patients guarded SO that
they will not be wandering all over
the country and perhaps committing
some terrible deed.

John Frazer that he could saw a

M. r. proved equal to the task sawed
Al of the small logs in "A minutes and
won the hat.

several weeks ago and sustained seri-

his recovery is very doubtful.

One of the largest votes cast yet
was turned in this week, over 23,90O
votes being cast during the last seven
days. Miss Knorr of Denver leads
the entire county this week but her
majority is very small, being less than
10 which is all Miss Wilkins of Elk
City lacks from being in the lead.
All the candidates are doing good
work and there is no telling who will
be in the lead in another week. Up
to-date over 10000 votes have been
cast. There is much back subscrip-
ton to be collected and people might
just as well pay it and help the girls
for the money must come. The law
compels all publisers to collect up and
there is no two ways about it.

CLEARING THE ATMOSPHERE

In his capacity of dramatic critic
]. Comyns Carr, the author of some
Eminent Victorans," wrote notice of
the play of Charles l." in which lrv-
ing played under the management of
Mr.. Bateman. His production deeply
incensed the manager
In order, perhaps, to find the oppor~
tunity of informing the critic of his
disapproval, the manager invited him
to a supper at the Westminster club on
the second or third night of the pro-
duction.
When he thought the fitting moment
had arrived, Mr.. Bateman led the con-
versation to the point at issue, and, en-
phatically banging the table with his
fist, declared in the loudest of tones
that he did not produce his plays at
the Lyceum theater to please Comyns
Carr.
There was a moments awkward 81
lence, which Mr.. Carr confesses he did
not feel quite able to break, but which
was released by a wit of the company
with the happy reto~t:
well, dear boy, then you can't be
surprised if they don't please him."

Rather puzzled, the agent Withdrew;
but, being a man who did not stick at
trifes, he prevailed upon his wife to
call on the merchant, who was sure,
he said, to do something big in the
end"

when the lady called, Il understand

When the birds begin to warble,
And the fish begin to bite;
And the kids remove their shoes
And the criekets sing at night
When The house seems kind of stuffy,
And the w0rkrOOm's sitting, too;
And we think OF mountain brooks,
And the meadows soaked with dew
When the sun shines warm upon us,
And the clouds roll slowly by;
oh how quickly comes spring fever
In the twInkling OF an eye.
