Plessinger Case Postponed.

After consideration of the case of
against whom action had been
brought for the revocation of his
| teachers certificate, it was decided
| by the state board of education in
session at Lakeside Tuesday night to
| postpone the hearing of the case I'M
til the fall meeting of the board.
Only four of the seven members were
able to be present and as one, Su-
perintendent Dewey, had already ex-
pressed an official opinion on the case,
il was regarded inadvisable to take
action at this time.
The case was grought down here
from Pateros, where Mr.. Plessinger
| taught last year. 1t seems that dur
ing his incumbency as principal in
the schools there, he became en-
broiled in several minor difficulties
with patrons of the district. AS a
retaliatory measure they made out
affidavits against him demanding a
revocation of his certificate, and for
warded them to County Superintend-
ent Savage of Okanogan county. He
forwarded them to H. B. Dewey, state
superintendent of public instruction,
recommending that the certificate be
revoked, and Mr.. Dewey rendered his
decision in accordance with this re-
| commentator.
However, this did not settle the
| matter. Mr.. Plessinger took an ap-
peal to the state board, and the meet
ling at Lakeside was called to hear
the appeal. Attorney c. T. Borg, OF
Pateros, acted as prosecutor, and Mr..
Plessinger conducted his own de-
tense. Both sides were ordered to as
semble all material and evidence
bearing on the case and forward them
to the board before its meeting IN
the fall, when action will be taken.
The members of the board present
at the Lakeside meeting besides State
Superintendent Dewey were Thomas
F. Kane, president of the university
Of Washington; E. T. Mathes, princi-
pal of the Bellingham normal, and
e. C. Beach, superintendent of the
Olympia public schools. J. NJ. Lay
hue, assistant superintendent of pub
lie instruction, acted as secretary of
the meeting.-Chelan Leader.

KNIGHT TEMP[ARS
IN SESSION
Next Five Days Will Be
Given Over to Big
Conclave.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. EVERY train
arriving in Chicago today has
brought it's quota of Knights Tenn
| pars and their ladies to the thirty
first triennial conclave to be held
here during the next five days. In
almost every instance the visitors
are met by some local or suburban
lodge and escorted to their various
headquarters Many of the visiting
bodies have brought their own bands
or drum corps with them, and the
scenes at the railroad stations are
those of gayety and pleasing con-
| fusion.
No city was ever better dressed
up" to receive great company of
guests than is Chicago. Electricians,
decorators, florists, and others have
been at work for nearly two weeks
OIL the principal streets and prominent
buildings, and the result is the most
lavish and beautiful display of flags,
bunting, electric lights and colors
imaginable. No one can estimate the
amount of bunting that has been used
some enthusiastic decorating com
panies put it at millions of yards
and the demand upon the electric
companies has been so great that
they were compelled to refuse fur
Their orders.
The decorations throughout are en-
blematic of the part played by the
crusaders in shaping history. One of
the handsomest single pieces is the
entrance arch spanning Michigan ave-
nue. near the Park Row station The
arch represents an ancient battlement
with it's towers and turrets, outlined
at night by a myriad of electric globes
From this section of battlement, her
aids will announce the arrival of the
various divisions of the grand parade
next Tuesday.
State street from Randolph to Van
Buren, street, through the heart of
the retail district, has been transform
ed into Templar Way. The street is
lined on either hand by massive Cor
inthian columns of pure white, thirty
thee feet apart, and surmounted by
globes studded with stars. The col
umns are twenty-one feet high and
will be Illuminated at night with
seventy-three electric lamps. From
column to column are festoons of nat
ural laurel. In the center of each fes-
toon is a circle three feet in diameter
containing a bright red cross.
The night features form one of the
main features of the elaborate scheme
of identifying the downtown district.
The Illinois commandery has its head
quarters at the La Sale Hotel, in
front of which has been erected an

imposing white arch, and in Grant
Park, opposite the Congress Hotel
which is the headquarters of the
grand commondery of the United
States, is towering structure 1870
feet high, consisting of the emblem of
the order blazing forth in thousands
of colorei lights.
Importance is attached all over the
world to this meeting of Knights
Templar, and, in fact, some men will
attend from almost every part of the
globe. A party of British knights have
come especially to extend the greet
ings of the brothers acress the water.
These are seven in number, among
whom is the Earl of Euston as the
representative of the Duke of Con-
naugh and of the grand commandry
of England and Wales.
The conclave and encampment prop
er will be held from Monday to
Thurday, but services tomorrow in
churches all over the city will be
the real beginning. The main SER
vice will be held at Orchestra Hall,
when Sir knight George H. McAdam
of Madison, Wis, will officiate. The
service will be attended by the grand
commandery of tho United States.
Monday will be devoted chiefly to
the reception of the visitors and
various features of entertainment.
Tuesday will be the day of the grand
parade when it is expected over So
900 uniformed knights will be in
line. The grand officers and distin-
guished guests will review the pro-
cession from stands erected in Grant
Park. The stands are the largest
ever constructed in Chicago.
The exhibition drills are set for
Wednesday and Thursday. Many
handsome and costly trophies will be
contested for in these drills, which
it is aimed, shall eclipse all former
records. The competitions will take
place at the West Side baseball park,
where Accommodations will be provi-
ded for some 10000 spectators.
The most of the business of the
conclave will be transacted Wednes-
day. On that day a successor will
be chosen to Rev. DR.. Henry w.
Rugg of Providence as grand master
of the arder. The death of DR.. Rugg
two weeks ago caused general sor-
rev among the knights throughout
the country. 1t is expected that
William B. Mellish of Cincinnati,
now serving as deputy grand master,
will be chosen to succeed DR.. Rugg.
Either Denver or Los Angeles will
probably be awarded the honor of
entertaining the next triennial con-
clave.

IS TIME To PRUNE
FOR SHAPE
Pinching Off Shoots Causes
More to Come Out-Size
Can Be Determined.

The pruning of fruit trees is a
subject which should be given care
full attention, and midsummer is
generally admitted to be the time
to prune for shape.
There are two chief reasons for
pruning fruit trees in summer. One
in vacant parts; the other is to pro-
mote fruitfulness. Business is pro-
NOTED by pinching off the ends of the
growing shoots, which causes the side
shoots to push forth, and by autumn
gives a half dozen or more shoots in
the place of one. 1t is on the same
principle h dyes are pruned in sum-
mer The number of shoots taking
the place of the one makes a compact
hedge, so that both business and
shapeliness are promoted by prun-
ing. This pinching back of shoots,
pruning of hedge must be done be-
fore the elongation of the shoots
ceases, otherwise the side buds will
not push out Hedges are pruned be-
fore growth ceases, often with the
sole purpose of making them of good
shape irrespective af any idea of pro-
noting bushines.
Better General Idet.
A better general idea of where to
prune a tree or bush to make it
shapely can be formed when it is in
foliage than in the winter, so that
pruning for this object is to be rec
commended then. Branches can be
cut here and there to shape the tree
and promote the entry of air and
light, but care must be exercised that
too many branches are not cut out
when the foliage is on the tree. To
part with a third of its foliage in
this way would be the very limit.
Pruning for fruitfulness is done
later in the season than that for the
business of the tree. For business
do it when the growth is in full
swing: for fruntfulness, when it is
nearly over for the season.
Object is to Check Growth.
The object is to check the growth a
little, causing fruit buds to form,
which checking always does. 1t
brings about, though perhaps less
rapidly, what root pruning does-a
tendency on the part of the tree to
center ON a fruit shape rather than
a continuance of the growing one.
Take an apple, pear, cherry or any
fruit tree that is making good, strong
shoots, and nip them off at the ends,
and more than likely the central bud
il makes will be a Towering one.
Root pruning in summer is apt to
do the same thing, and besides the
terminal bud some others will often
prove to be Towering ones when the
time comes for them to expand.
European gardeners follow both
plans; they root prune in winter or
early spring, and pinch back the
shoots in midsummer, the result be-
ing an abundance of flowers in spring
and fruit follows unless some freak
destroys the blossom.
