A Bad Affair.

The attempt of young lady
in this city to end her life on
Monday evening of this week
was a sad affair, and one we
trust will not be attempted again.
The girl is good looking, smart
and can perform a good mission
in life. 1t is said her surround
ings are not pleasant, at least
that is the impression in the
minds of many people, yet that
in itself is not sufficient reason
for the shutting off of this nor
tai coil.
1t is our observation that if a
child's surroundings are what
they should be the child will
take a rosy view of life, and
grow up to be an honor to its
parents.
Feeling that the girl by this
time realizes the enormity of her
mistake in attempting to quit
the best world there is, we re-
frain from publishing her name
to the world. Let everybody
give the girl the glad hand and
help her to see that this is a
pretty good old world,

Wrong Impression.

hicles to the coming big reunion
This is not true, and the fellow
who started such a rumor hat
no excuse for doing so, and if hi
does not feel like a convicted
chicken thief, he should.
An admission of five cents il
going to be charged to tht
grounds on Monday, Tuesday
Wednesday and Thursday. Or
Friday there will be no admis'
sion, and there will be no charge
for entering the grounds before
the reunion begins. People who
get in ahead of time and 60 into
camp are ahead of the admission,
and there would not be any ad-
mission at all if the money was
not needed to pay off the debt
on the grounds and make some
needed repairs and improvements.
But the debt must be paid off,
and the people who have all the
fun are cordially invited to help
pay it. Nobody will be barred
one fellows money will be just
as good as another's.
But the old soldier is going to
be admitted scot free, and he
will be given tents, wood, water,
lights, straw, all free after he
comes. Children ten years old
and under are going to be free
too.
1t was thought there would be
some kick, perhaps, when the
admission feature was put on,
but we are mighty glad to say
that the only kicks we have
heard are from Baxter Springs
people who have the free use OF
the park the year round for pic
MICS, camping parties. swimming,
boating, and other good tipies.
But tAey do not seem 70 appre-
ciate the fact tb.t it costs some.
ttirg to maintain a free park
f"c them, and before they say to
much they should stop and pom
der and see if they are not
ashamed of themselves for even
thinking of kicking.
Remarks have been made by
people before they stopped to
think, but after sober second
thought they come around and
say the reunion directors have
done just the right thing-that
it is a wonder the reunion has
run as long as it has without a
revenue from admission. He is a
mighty good God, indeed, who
presides over the destinies of us
all. He has mercifully provided
good weather in years past, and
it is expecting altogether too
much to think that the weather
will always be good, and a week
of wet weather on such big re-
union as the Baxter reunion is
would put it out of business.
We say this advisedly, for all
contracts are made long before
the reunion begins and can not
be set aside. A week of bad
weather would be disastrous.
Every effort is going to be put
forth to make the reunion as
clean as a hounds tooth. Free
features are going to be pro-
cured, and any one of them will
be worth much more than the
little significant nickel.
Assistant Attorney General
Burr has been invited to attend
the reunion and he will be aided
in his efforts to put down the
booze business by every officer of
the association.
Remember, no admission for
teams or vehicles of any kind,
and old soldiers and children ten
years old and under will be ad-
mitted free of charge.
Another thing: Some people
seem to thing it does not cost
much to pull of this reunion.

the post wrote to Major-General
 Howard, then in command of
 that military district, asking if some society could not be inter- ested to send them a competent
 teacher. The letter was placed
 i'll my hands in May, 1877, and
 immediately published in : the Chicago Tribune. To gain bet ter understanding of this move ment of tf e natives for a school,
 l made them a visit in August,
 1877. In passing through Port land 1 found teacher who had had large experience in mission work and Indian schools-Mrs. A. R. McFarland-whom took with me. :,
 Going ashore upon arrival, August 10, l heard the ringing of the bell for the afternoon school, and went directly to the school house. About twenty pu- pills were in attendance, mostly young Indian women. Two or three boys were present; also a mother and her three little chil- dren. As the women took their seats on the rough plank benches each one bowed her head in si- lent prayer. seeking divine help in her studies. Soon a thought full Indian man of about twenty five years of age came in and took his seat behind the rude desk. The familiar hymn What friend. we have in Jesus" was sung in English; a prayer was followed in the Chinook jargon, which is the common language on this coast, closing with the repetition in concert, of the Lords prayer in English. After lessons wert studied and recited
