A girl baby made its appearance at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Repp Of
Peshastin, yesterday.
Walter Vandegrift, bookkeeper for
the Leavenworth Furniture and Hard
ware Co., was suddenly taken very
sick yesterday morning. His heart
seems to be affected. Yesterday eve
ming he had not improved and his con-
dition gave his friends considerable
uneasiness.
o. S. Sampson, J. T. Costello, D.
NJ. Thomas and Jack Heffernan went
to Wenatchee Tuesday afternoon for
the purpose of joining the lodge Of
Elks.
James Defeyter and wife returned
from Everett the first of this week

members, and followed by a debate on
some subject of importance to every
man in the community. At the end oil
the program a lunch provided by the
ladies of the church is served and the
meeting is then thrown open to amuse-
ments of various kinds. The meetings,
every Tuesday night, are open to all
men visitors over the age Of sixteen, as
that is the age limit required for mem
bership.
Occasionally we are able to secure a
speaker from outside the membership
of the club to give talk on some SUBJ
ject Of interest, and, so far, have been
very well entertained, at one meeting
by Mr.. Magyar, editor Of the Echo,
with a talk on Newspaper Life" and,
at another meeting, by talk on Nor
monism" by the Rev. Mr.. Davis. For
next Tuesday evening we have been
able to secure Mr.. J. B. Adams, who
will carry US away on the wings of the
English language and give US survey
of the Hawaiian Islands, their beautiful
and wonderful sights and scenes, and
of their peoples and the customs Of
these people. AS Hawaii has long been
subject OF interest to Americans, and
as we feel that Mr. Adams has made
thorough study of these islands, we
expect very interesting and instruc:
tive address. The church will be open
at 1880 and order will be called at 8,
so as to be able to attend to business
and give Mr.. Gangler and Mr.. Mac
Kenzie plenty of time to talk of current
topics before Mr.. Adams takes the
floor.
All men are welcome to come free
Of charge and enjoy the speaking,
lunch and boxing. A Member.

Bloom Residence Destroyed by Fire

An alarm of fire last Saturday, be-
tween two and three o'clock, directed
attention to the Bloom residence, on
the north side OF the track just oppo-
site the depot, from which smoke was
rising. The building was beyond the
reach of the fire hose and the chemi-
Gals were brought into action. The
one kept on the north side of the
track had not been charged or was out
of order, at least it could not be used.
The other chemical, kept at the city
hall, was about thirty minutes in get
ting to the fire, by which time the
flames had made such Roadway that il
was impossible to save the building.
The household goods were, however,
practically all saved. The building was
erected six years ago and was one oil
the best in town, costing approximately
$500. 1t was insured for $500. The
household goods were also insured.
The house was occupied by ].
B. Violette, who sustained a loss
of several hundred dollars on his
household goods, some of which were
lost and others damaged in getting
them out of the house. The fire broke
out near the roof and must have origi-
mated from a defective fue.

Lecture on Astronomy

Prof. Macomber's lecture, in the
opera house Tuesday night, proved
instructive and interesting to good
sized audience. The professor, who,
by the way, is connected with the
state normal at Cheney, is ready and
engaging talker, thoroughly familiar
with his subject, and evidently appre-
ciates the importance Of employing
non-technical language when talking to
a lay audience about such scientific
subject as astronomy. The stereopti-
con views were fine and helped much
to clarity an abstruse subject. He
was given the closest attention turnout
and received an ovation at the close.

On Monday there was posted on the
doors of several places of business a
notice that the address to be given by

club had been postponed. On account
Of the large number of people that did
not, apparently, understand the nature
and objec: of our organization we take
this opportunity to set forth the same,
knowing that it will appeal to many
who had not heard of it before.
Through the efforts of A. H. Sylves-
ter a number of young men were
called together, having for their object
the establishment Of club and to pro-
vide a place of entertainment and mu-
tual intellectual benefit. The object
Of our club can best be explained by a
description of our methods. Meeting
in the Congregational church we pro-
ceeded to enjoy ourselves by boxing,
hand-westling and other feats Of
strength and skill until the hour Of
$3.50, when the meeting is called to
order by the president. After the
usual routine of business the program
for the evening is taken up, which
generally consists OF talk on the cur
rent topics of the day by two of oui

SMALLER PAPER MONEY.

Secretary Mac Veagh of the treasury
department has recommended that pa
per money be reduced in size.
The object is to supply size of cur
rency more convenient for handling
and to save the government at least
$500, 900 year in paper and engraving.
The new sized bank note to be recon-
mended is about one-fourth as the notes
now in circulation.
An experiment of the advantages OF
the change has been made with the
Philippine Island currency, which is
engraved at the treasury. The Philip
pine bank note is about one-fourth the
size of the American bank note and is
extremely attractive in appearance. Ii
is printed also on thinner and finer
grade of paper.

We might look long and far to find
the floors so neatly swept, material so
artistically arranged and everything
with view to tidiness as the appear
ance of rooms from basement to attic
will reveal due to the efficient service
rendered by our popular and genial
janitor, Mr.. Birkle.
The school stands briefly this way
with reference to students of any
grade: If the pupil has complied with
the school law this pupil can now enter
their respective grade without being
put back or taking an examination in
any Wisconsin school, At the close of
last year we hadn't sufficient credits
to do this, but now if a pupil moves to
another town the presentation of the
Promotion card and standings from
this school insures his standing in that
grade. There are POI schools in Wis
consin that cannot give this credit to
their students. We supply this little
piece of information for any parent
who may wish to know the relative
standing of your school compared with
others.
University Inspector Tressler's report
on Secondary Schools issued from Mad
ison places the Wabeno High School
First on the list of all eastern high
schools of the state for promptness and
accuracy in making out reports. Thank
you, every little bit helps.
