COUSINS WED SISTERS.
Two Virginia Couples Come to Capt.
tai to Marry.

Two newly married couples hailing from
Mineral. Louise county, Va, were being
shown the sights of the capital today
by c. E. Parham. The brides are sis
ters, and until $50 this morning were
Miss Leslie Smith and Miss Stella Smith.
The bridegrooms-R. L. Dunaway and r.
v. Lumsden-are cousins. The couples
chose Washington for the scene of their
weddings and the same minister.
Rev. DR.. Shannon of the Metropolitan
NJ E. Church performed the two cere-
monies Mrs. Dunaway was dressed In
light blue coat suit and a white hat
trimmed with maidenhair ferns. and Mrs
Lumsden wore light brown walking
dress, and also a white hat.
The couples took in the sights of The
Star building and located from it the
places they wished to see in more de-
tail. They will return to Mineral, their
Virginia home, tomorrow by an early

SMALLER CARS TO BE USED.
W., B. and A. E. Road to Install
Thirty New Coaches.

The Washington, Baltimore and An
napolis Electric road will soon have new
cars.
They are to be smaller than those in
use. Thirty new cars will take the place
Of the twentyone large ones.
The new cars will be twelve feet shorter
than the present ones. which will make
the seating capacity smaller, reducing it
from 66 to 81. In appearance and outfit
the cars will be the same.
Arrangements have also been made to
change the alternating current now in
use for motors that will supply a direct
current.
Owing to the fact that change has
been made in the stations distributing
electric currents, 1t will probably be sev-
eral months before the new ears are in
operation. II Is estimated that this change
will cost the Washington, Baltimore and
Annapolis road about $50 900 a year.

DAY SCHOOL FOR INDIANS.
Strongly Upheld by Miss Estelle
Reel In Report.

AsSSA AA 4AOP
That the present system of educating
the Indians Is proving successful is the
opinion expressed by Miss Estelle Reel,
superintendent of indian schools. in her
annual report. recently submitted to the
commissioner of Indian affairs. Miss Reel
strongly uphoids the sytem of day schools
and their influence upon the older Indians.
She also says that the introduction of in
dustrial training as the foremost feature
of the Indian schools Is proving most ben
eficial.
Among the evidences of the good re-
suits of Indian education are the reports
of the careers of returned students. which
show that they are endeavOring to over
come the environment of camp life and
prove themselves worthy of the educa-
ton they have received. A feature of
the report is the evidence 1t gives that
the Indian is altering his ways of living
to meet the requirements of civilization
through the educational influence of the
government schools.
Miss Reel calls special attention to the
necessity for increased effort on the part
of physicians and Indian agents to pro-
tect the Indians from the ravages of tu-
berculOsis.

Congress Might Adjourn.

The past ten days have brought
stormy periods in the United States
senate, where the new tariff bill is
under consideration, and it ought to be
clear to those who have followed the
debates, as reported by the Associated
Press, that the new tariff law will be a
revision upward, and not downward.
Of course the law is not made yet, but
the outcome on the wool and iron sched-
ules points to what the result will be.
1t was the tariff on wooden and iron
goods the people wanted lowered. The
progressives and the democrats could
not have put up stronger fight against
the high tariff than they did put up, but
on every amendment they were out
voted by the standpatters, the bill 60
ing through as it was presented by the
finance committee.
In view of what has transpired in the
senate there is no excuse for congress
to remain in session any longer. The
people deserve at least to have the sus-
pense over. With the corporations
there has been no suspense, whatever.
In both houses the framing of the tariff
bill has been in the hands of their
friends, and a more loyal band of buc-
cancers were never banded together for
one purpose. Aldrich, their leader, has
overridden the time-hOnOred custom of
answering questions put to him by SEN
ators on the other side, and many times
he has refused to yield the floor to
others. and votes have been taken on
amendments when leaders of the pro-
gressives were out for lunch. When a
progressive speaks the men of the
finance committee do not stay to hear.
The senate might as well approve the
committees bill, concur with the house
and then congress can adjourn.

Prohibition at Gooding.

They have prohibition down in the
new town of Gooding. Of course that
doesn't mean that any necks are going
around long from thirst, but it is a nice
way of saying that those who would
slake their thirst from the flowing bowl
must with the 'jointist" do sort of
chicken-thief act while the minions Of
the law look on and wink. But Gooding
is not 50 terribly bad, for a new west
ern town affected with false modesty.
Five tigers" and two drug stores is
all, and then Pocatello still being wet
it hasn't become necessary for good
people Of the Idaho town to send their
dollars TO Utah to get booze.
The editor Of the Wood River Times
has been looking into the prohibition
that is practiced in Gooding. Anyone
who would LET an editor from a neigh
boring town 90 dry should never hope
10 prosper. This is the way the editor
reports bis investigation;

accused of leaving out certain items of
news purposely, because of dislike for
the person to be mentioned, or for pre-
JUDGE or for some other cause, COM
plains an exchange. This is all bosh.
The editor has something like million
different things to think of in connec-
ton with the issue of one paper and it
is not surprising if he misses an item
occasionally or sometimes forgets one
that has been called to his attention.
Nine out of ten people you ask for news
items will tell you they can't think of
any. But in most cases they expect
the editor to think of them all and criti-
else him if he fails in single item.
The best way is to give the editor
credit for what he does find and men,
ton and then help him to find more

A Bear Story.

Bear story men in the mountains who
are won't to relate their experiences
with the wild beasts of the forests will
have to come again, and come strong, if
they want to compete with some of the
nimrods on the prairie. The latest is
from the Free Press Of Grangeville and
is vOuched for by the paper as coming
from a man who always tells a bare
truth. The Free Press says:
"Here is a bear story and hard one
to believe, but our source Of informa-
ton is reliable, the man who is the
author has always been truthful and we
believe has not broken the rule in this
instance. According to the story Ed
Wiley Of Florence, who has been trap
ping all winter, left the other week to
visit his traps and take the catch there
from. Between Adams Camp and Slate
creek his dogs rounded up big black
bear While Wiley did not have a gun
he decided not 10 lose bruin, and the
more be thought Of the dollars the
glossy black would bring the Drawer he
became. Cutting good sized club
from q tree be broke through the brush
and Opened fire" ON the bear u was
battle royal but after half hours
fght the bear run up the white flag, and
this is why Wiley Is the hero of the
camp at the present time"

next wee.

A theatre-owner in Boston has put a
stop to the mother-in-law jokes in his
house, and gives the following as his
reason: 'In these days when so much
objection is raised against caricaturing
persons of different nationalities such
as the Irishman and the Jew and even
politicians object to what they consider
unfair reference on the stage, simple
justice alone demands that the artist
should observe the golden rule when re-
ferring to ones dearest friend, the
mother" That theatre-owner will re-
ceive commentator of thoughtful
people. Those so-called mother-in-law
jokes were perpetrated upon society
probably a dozen centuries ago. and
nothing new has been added to date
The "artists" who use them are gen
orally of a type that is not attended by
the better class of people.
