Marion News.

On Sunday last Mrs. Jennie
Briggs Bates died of a lingering
illness which she had been troub.
led with for a year or more.
Something over a year ago it
was learned that she had acancer
in the breast and since that;time
she has Travelled considerable and
consulted a number of doctors
but it seemed that little could be
done for her. She was operated
upon in Oregon and instead ofrc-
ceiving aid it seemed that the di-
sease spread throughout the sys-
tenn till it eventually destroyed
her life.
She was 80 years old and left
three children and her husband
behind. Her husband, who it is
remembered escaped from jail
ar Albion some time ago was
not present at the funeral which
was held at the Marion Meeting
House Tuesday. Mrs. Bates to
gether with her parents emigrateC
from Ffagpond, Tenn. twent,
years ago, or shortly after Ormu
E. Bates returned from his miss
ion to that country, they belnI
converts of his. She was burie'
in the Marion Cemetry by man
relatives and friends who mour
!. her loss.
Walter Matthews of this place
had his leg broken at the ank
while playing a game of Ball hel
on Saturday last, He was rul

occurred. 1t will be some tin

Secty. of State w. L. Clifford
Candidate for denomination.

1t has almost invariably been
the custom in Idaho to grant
second term of office to all state
officials who have faithfully and
efficiently performed the duties of
their offices. | trust it will not
be regarded as out of place or an
exhibition of egotism if | express
the hope and belief that l have
conducted the affairs of the Office
of Secretary of State in manner
to warrant me in coming before
the people second time. Acting
upon this hope and belief. my
name will be presented to the Re
publican voters of the State at
the coming nominating Primaries
for denomination for the office l
now hold.
Briefly, let me say that l have
given my individual attention to
the affairs OF the office as all who
are familiar with the facts will
testify. Having had many years
of similar work before taking
charge of this Office. l have been
able to make :the experience so
gained of much value in simplify
ing and systematizing the work
of the office. A new system oftil-
ing and indexing has been intro
duced, which has resulted in the
saving of much time as well as
securing accuracy and precision.
One result of the new index sys-
tenn has been the discovery of de-
linquent corporation taxes. Dur
ing the past two years a consider.
able sum of these delinquent cor
poratiOn taxes have been collected
and turned into the state treasury
as a result of the new system. and
the method now employed will
insure the prompt collection O.
these taxes in the future.
In short, l believe l can truth
fully say that every branch ofth,
Department of State Govern
ment in my charge is conducted
along modern business lines. |
the people of Idaho believe this il
true and see fit to renominat'
and reflect me, | need hardly sa,
that l shall be much gratified ant
shall use my best endeavors t,
see that such endorsement is no
misplaced.
Very respectfully,

of 81 .65, including the haul from

Mr.. Gooding is especially anx.
ious that this matter should be
given as wide publication spos
sible so that the shippers may al
take advantage of the water
transportation. Shipping direc
tions will be furnished by the

c. S. Academy
Closes Success
full School Year
ATTENDANCE FAR ABOVE THE
NUMBER ON OTHER YEARS AT
CLOSING.

year in its history according to
he number of students in attend
ince at its close. There were
about one hundred and twenty
students who remained till the
school closed which is much bet
ter than heretofore. SO MANY
Young men and women leave
school earlier that by the time
the courses were completed many
had taken up different labors and |
consequently a small attendance
at the final outcome. This year
it was different and beside, the
students in SO many instances
expressed themselves as loathe to
leave their work.
The programs rendered on
Thursday evening and Friday
morning were exceptional and
large crowd assembled on each
occasion to witness the work
done by the students. Friday.
the rooms containing the manual
training, domestic arts, dra wing
and a number of other exhibits
were opened to the public and
were viewed with interest. Work
that would do credit to students
of much more experience was dis
played on these days.
The exercises in the morning,
which lasted till nearly noon, fin
ished the commencementprogram
so tar as outlined at the building,
but about four O'Clock the Ball
team of the school crossed bats
with the Albion State Normal
team and also ran a relay race in
which three from each school
participated and in both instan-
ces the Academy boys were vic
torious,
The ball game was one of the
most interesting played on the
diamond for some time. The
teams did good playing but the
local nine was too much for their
opponents, making on several oc-
cassions double plays that kept
the visitors guessing what was
coming next.
The game closed by the loca
boys making a double play, pick
ing up a grounder from the bat
ter, putting out force run from
first to second and shutting out
the runner to first base. The
game stood 5 to i'll favor of the
Academy.
Immediately following a relay
race was ma tched up and for {
while it looked as if the Norma
boys would win, as their mar
!, lead in the first two stretches
but the third was most exciting
i when Clifford Tolman, notwith
standing his late touch-otf h
| passed his opponent like fright
ened cat making a complet
victory for the home boys.
In the evening grand bal
was held in the Anona to whic!
a very large crowd gathered ant
enjoyed themselves in one of tn
best socials of the year, Th
house was packed and every
thing moved off smoothly.
Ice cream was served IN tn
room for refreshments and thos
attending pronounced 1T the bes
party OF the season.
. In separating to their severe
localities the students did S
somewhat reluctantly, yet all ea
r pressed pleasure in having spen
so profitably school year an
all are looking forward to whe
? they can return in the fall an
again take up their labors.

UNBIDDEN, HE PRAYS
NEARLY As MINUTES

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S-For 40 minutes
an audience at the University Of Chi
cago religious services in Mandel Hall
fdgeted and wondered while an I'M
known man delivered one Of the long
est prayers on record.
The interruption TO the formal serv-
ices came Just after the professional
and responsive reading. Or. Allen

Hoben rose in the pulpit and opened
his Bible. Then came the unusual
and unlocked for event
An aged man rose in the rear of
the hall and entered upon a prayer.
Oblivious of the attention of the whole
congregation he prayed. AS the min
utes passed and the prayer continued,
many questioning glances we're d.
rected at DR.. Hoben, who waited pa
tiently. The deliverer of the prayer
grew vehement, and CALCULATIONS and
metaphors rolled from his lips. In
every instance he addressed the deity
as you"
As the mans pleadings continued,
several members of the congregation
who had noted the time when the in
corruption began, took out their
watches and held time on the suppli-
cant.
Il was almost As minutes from the
beginning OF the unscheduled prayer
until its author pronounced his amen
and sat down.
With the ending of the prayer DR..
Hoben began his address as though
nothing unusual had occurred. But il
was a short sermon, dealing with
"Idealism."

CARE OF.

It's safe ten to one bet that the
young man who uses PARTISAN
Sage as an occasional hair dressing
Will never grow bald.
There's a reason, of course, and it's
a very good and sufficient one.
Dandruff germs cause falling hair
and failing hair means thinner hair
and in due time badness.
PARTISAN Sage prevents badness.
by destroying the cause of badness
the little persistent vociferous dan
drum germ.
II you have dandruff or itching
scalp il means that dandruff germs
are sapping the vitality from the
roots Of your hair. Get rid of all hair
troubles by using PARTISAN sage.
II is not a dye, mind you. neither
does il contain poisonous sugar of
lead or even sulphur. II Is a scienti-
fc preparation that abolishes dan
drum, stops falling hair and scalp itch
and makes hair grow lustrous ana
luxuriant.
Many young women. as we'll as
men are growing bald and for the
same reason.
Use delightful, refreshing PARIS.
