SCENIC THEATRE
CHANGES HANDS
Vim. B. Simpson, Formerly With the Mu-
tual Mercantile Co., Becomes
the Proprietor.

Mr.. Simpson resigned his position
with the Mutual Mercantile Co., the
first of the month having closed a deal
within the past few days for the Scenic
Theatre building with all the rights,
privileges and property rights that be-
long to it.
Mr.. Simpson possesses a peculiar
fitness for manager of theatre, hav-
ing made study of elecution and in
the past few years has become familiar
with the theatre going public Of this
town. In several characters in which
he has appeared he made quite a hit.
His familiarity with theatricals and
stage business generally he will find
very useful.
1t is his purpose to make improve
ments from time to time as the de-
mands of the public may indicate are
advisable and the box receipts warrant.
Bookings will be made with the best
class of travelling companies and ad-
vance notices printed Of coming at
fractions. A high class OF moving
pictures will always be feature OF the
Scenic.
For Mr.. Simpson as a manager we
predict hattering success. He has
had enough experience in business to
fit him to take charge Of the financial
end which is not the least important.
The Scenic Theatre building was erect
ed the past summer by J. w. Elliott at
a cost Of s12, 1000, and is one of the
best arranged theatres in the smaller
cities Of the state. 1t has a seating
capacity Of over five hundred which
can be increased to 700 by the placing
of additional seats. Since it was opened
it has been under the management OF
Messrs. Elliott & Hake who have made
of it very popular resort.

Al!-the- Year Round Schools

In the May American Magazine
there is an interesting account by Ben
jamin ]. Horchem, who thinks that
schools should keep open all the year
round. He has worked out his idea
so charmingly in his summer farm
school near Dubuque, Iowa, that
children agree with him. He thinks
that we shall ultimately have all-the-
year-round schools conducted on a
plan altogether different from the
present public school system. His
idea is summed up in the following
points:
Il. Schools to be in the suburbs
of cities. Children to reach the
schools by rapid transit.
q. School to be in session the
entire year; but only half the school
day spent indoors. School room work
to be chiefly done in winter and bad
weather.
"3. Less desk work. More la
boratory, shop and garden work. The
active aspect of education, now chiefly
seen in the kindergarten and agricul-
tural and technical schools, to be main
tanned throughout the grades.
-. Initiative to be taken by the
children. All the leading trades, oc-
cupations and professions to be car
ried on under trained workers. The
pupil 60 to the school room for theo-
retic instruction or knowledge.
IS. No written examinations.
Work done speaks for itself. The
There is no more need of examinations
in the schoolroom than in the business
world" +"

Death of W. W. Gordon

William Gordon, who has been en-
ployed as Great Northern storekeeper
for the past two years died Tuesday
from stomach trouble after an illness
of less than week.
Mr.. Gordon was twenty-six years old
and had wide acquaintance among
the railroad people with whom he was
held in high esteem. He was ia
ken sick a week ago but did not
think it was serious. He gradually
became worse and it was finally de-
cided an operation would be neces-
sary. Doctors Hoxsey. Judah and
Mccoy of Wenatchee performed the
operation but it was too late and he
was unable to stand the shock.
Besides wife and two children he
leaves mother and father who reside

Facts worth Mentioning

Kelchner is credited with two er
rors but redeemed himself in the sixth
inning when he slammed out two
bagger scoring Stevens from second.
Well this is the second time that a
star pitcher from the Northwestern
League has come out to Leavenworth
and got his bumps. We all remember
Mr.. Jensen.
Several times during the game the
visitors got a runner as far as third and
in the ninth inning it looked as
though they were almost sure to score
but the much needed hits didn't come.
Manager Moore has been the hap
piest manager in town the past week.
He is thoroughly satisfied with his
team, and predicts that he will win a
majority of his games from now on.
Let's hope SO.

WINS
SHUTOUT GAME
Stevens Pitches Great Ball-haS Fine
Support and Wins his Game 2 too

In what was plainly pitchers bat
tie, the Colts won their first game Of
the season from Wenatchee last Sun
day.
The visitors sprung a surprise when
Jimmy Clark, Vancouver's star twirler,
was sent in to pitch, and James pitch
ed some game too, striking out II
men and allowing only four hits, but
the two hits in succession in the sixth
inning proved to be his undoing.
Stevens, while not getting as many
strikeouts to his credit held the visit
ors to three scattered hits contributed
by Watkins, Bradley and Warren. Two
nice catches made by Mahoney and
Mazurie helped Stevens out but he
pitched a great game just the same
and fielded his position like a big
Lacquer. In the ninth it looked for
time as though the Red Apple bunch
would score when Stanley had ad-
vanced to third with only one out.
However, Watkins and Connors were
unable to hit safe and the game ended.
The Colts were really only entitled
to one run off Clark but got two. Err
rors by Warren and Fuller'were factors
in the first run which was scored by
Miller in the second inning. The
second tally came in the 9th when
Stevens slammed out a two bagger and
came home a minute later on a two
base hit by Kelchner.

Mrs. TOtten, is Insane in Penitentiay

Mrs. Della Totten, sentenced to 20
years imprisonment for the murder of
James Sutton, a Cashmere rancher,
and who recently was ordered from
Medical Lake sanitarium to the Walla
Walla penitentiary, is, nevertheless,
dangerously insane, according to DR..
John M. Semple, superintendent of
the asylum, Mrs. Totten passed
through Spokane on her way to i'm
prisonment.
Mrs. Totten was tried for murder
and found guilty Of murder in the
second degree" Her case was ap-
pealed to the supreme court. While
in Jail she talked and acted in such a
way as to lead the county officials to
believe that she was insane. The
Chelan county court then temporarily
committed her to Medical Lake hos
pital, pending the action of the su-
preme court.
When the supreme court sustained
the action OF the lower court there was
nothing to do but transfer her to the
penitentiary in accordance with her
sentence. Mrs. Totten is dangerously
insane and, in all probability, will be
returned to Medical Lake as soon as
the superintendent and physician Of
the penitentiary are convinced Of her
insanity"
