Military Instructor Sergeant B. B.
Courts of the 1st U. s. Infantry ar
rived in the city last evening and was
present at the drill of Company l.
Sergeant Courts is a graduate of the
Army School at Fort Leavenworth
and is trained in the work he is en-
gagged in. He has been attached to
the Oregon National Guard for the
past six months. but has been busy
with the Portland companies during
the time he has been with the state
guard. He made a favorable impress
sion upon the officers and enlisted
men of the local company and his
coming has aroused a great deal of
enthusiasm among the guardsmen.
He will hold non-commissioned of
ficers school this evening at the ar
mory and tomorrow evening will have
the entire company assembled Fri
day night will be instruction in guard
duty and field work and on Sunday
he will instruct the boys in range
work and rifle shooting on the range.
Captain Ferguson has asked that
he remain longer than the present
week as he feels that his visit will re-
suit in untold benefit to the company
Owing to the large number of RECRUITS
in the company at present it is going
to require a great amount of work
to get the boys in trim for field work
In August
In speaking of the manuevers at
American Lake this summer Sergeant
Courts reminded the officers that the
order requiring 40 enlisted men to be
taken to camp will be enforced. Un-
less the company can muster the re-
quired number for camp they will not
be allowed to leave their home sta
ton. This will be very disappointing
to the Officers and the men of the
company if they will be unable to
take the trip to American Lake and
the citizens generally are asked to
assist with their influence in recruit
ing the company up to the standard.

The two-tier skirt offers itself as

made of batiste. mousseline, crepe,
foulard or one or the other of the
delicate and beautiful materials of
which there are so many. The ma
terials of the two-tier model is lightly
gathered into the waistbelt and both
tunics are edged with a band of lace.
Instead of the lace, silk or some other

rest of the costume must be chosen.
Lace is lighter looking and less
likely to be hackneyed as the plain
stitched band and hense has its re-
concentrations.
With the underskirt there is a very
decided revival of beautiful under
garments, which. with the clingine
skirts so long in vogue, have been ne
elected. The finest of linen and cam
brics are used and embroidered with
exquisite designs and trimmed with
quantities of lace and ribbon. Any
number of attractive designs are tc

company from certain sources and
this has been an obstacle in the way
OF securing recruits.
Local EncaElpment Planned.
Plans are now being discussed for
a local encampment on the Srd and
4th of July. If enough of the men
can be secured to join the movement
the officers will secure grounds close
to the city and establish a camp for
two days instruction in field work
First Lieutenant Charles c. Vinier
has now received his commission and
has reported to the commanding Of.
ficer of the regiment for assignment
to duty.
Captain Ferguson this morning re-
ceived the badges for the men who
secured the "marksman" rating in the
season of 1909 and will distribute
them this evening. ALREADY there
are several new men who have made
a sufficient number of points on the
range to be entitled to this honor
for 1910 and before the season is
closed there will no doubt be others.
The rifle team will be nominated
by July 5th, and as positions on this
team are secured by competition only
the boys are hard at work, for several
desire the honor of representing the
company in the state shoot.

nut very USeful.
Paris.-Americans visiting France
find the heavy copper coins in gen.
eral use great nuisance, against
which they may protest bitterly, but
without avail. France issues paper
bills of the denomination of $40 and
upwards, while gold coins are minted
of the value of 50 and 81, with silver
coins of 10 cents, 90 cents and 81.
and copper coins of / and cents val
ue.
OF copper coins you must constant
ly carry a supply here. for unless you
are prepared to pay a ridiculous large
amount daily in tips by the use OF
silver coins, a pocketful of the big.
ugly and heavy copper money must
be lugged about for immediate and
unexpected use. French people rare
ly give more than or cents as a
tip for minor services, but they do
give that amount almost constantly.
For instance, each time a package
is delivered at ones home a tip must
be forthcoming for the messenger,
while in fnnumerable other instances
tips must be given II ones life is not
to be made unendurable, Such ex-
pense, naturally, amounts up by the

Truly, Americans at home are an

BAD FOR THE TEACHER.
Professor \. Ii. Copeland of Eator
Unable to Control Big Boys.

Eaton, Col.-Because it is said, the
big boys whip him with an ease that
has shocked their parents, Professor
A. B. Copeland, principal of the high
school and grade schools at Eaton for
| the last six years, will be dismissed
at the close of the present term. Pro-
| fessor Copeland, principal of the
Greely schools for twenty years be-
| fore going to Eaton, used to have
great faith in the rod as a means of
preserving peace in the schoolroom.
His experience this year with some of
the older boys in the high school is
said to have destroyed his faith. These
| boys organized a rebellion against the
professors peace preserver. They al
ways got the better of the deal when
the professor tried to whip them.
Whatever licking was done the pro-
fessor received. The parents de-
clared it rude for pupils to whip their
principal, but how shocking it was for
a principal to get licked!

CIRCUS MAN TELLS
OF CAPTURING A LION

While the agent of Campbell
Brothers Great Consolidated Shows
which will exhibit here on next Fri
day, was in our office, he related a
story of the capture of an African
Lion in it's native forest.
Mr.. H. c. Brashear, the purchasing
agent of the show, made trip to
Africa to try and secure some wild
animals for the menagerie. While
there the natives told him of a male
lion that had evaded capture for four
years. Mr.. Brashear Immediately Of
fered a large sum for the capture of
the animal and the natives began at
once to plan how to secure the re-
ward.
First, a large circular pit was dug
about 15 feet deep, and all the dirt
from the excavation was carefully
carried away, as a lion is very sus-
picious. The hole was then thorough
ly covered with light brush and
grass and made to appear as IL the
ground had never been touched. The
next step was to secure some object,
tempting enough to attract Mr.. Lion
to the place. A live lamb was
bought and hung by strong cord
from the limb of tree that reached
out over the covered pit. All these
preparations were made late in the
evening.
That night the monarch Of the for
est, while stalking for prey, heard the
lamb bleating and made a spring for
it; catching it, Of course the string
broke, and the lion and lamb both
went crashing down into the pit
At daybreak the natives brought a
large net which they threw over the
lion in the pit. In his rage at be-
ing caught and in his efforts to free
himself from the net covering him
he only got more tangled up in 1t, till
at last he was so thoroughly enmesh-
ed that the natives had little trouble
in placing him in a strong crate and
he was a captive.
The Campbell Brothers thus secur-
ed what is considered to be the finest
specimen of an African lion in Am
| erica today. Be sure and see hin
when they exhibit here Friday.

Boy Spells 1,O7O Words.

Saline, Mich.-It has been stated

thoughts of the average person-that
this is the verbal vocal range of the

pie. Thus a boy who can spell 1,070
words without a miss will be regard
ed as having gotten considerably off
the range. Bryan Cole, IL years old,

sor of a silver loving cup.
