WIFE
At DEATHS DOOR

Washington, Aug. 5.-Mrs. Wood
row Wilson wife of the president of
the United States, lies at the point
of death tonight. Four months of
almost un broken illness, a compli-
cation of nervous ailments and
Bright's disease, have sapped the
vitality of the first lady of the land.
The end is regarded as a matter of
days, perhaps hours. Physicians
have been in consultation for days,
but it was admitted at the White
House tonight that hope for her re-
covery had almost vanished.

FOUR COUNTIES TO
JOIN IN INSTITUTE

Plans for a four-c county teacher
institute in which the University of
Idaho, the Lewiston State Normal
school and the Lewiston city schools
will participate are being arranged
by the county school superintend-
ents and the heads of the educa-
tional institutions. The counties
that will participate in the institute
are Latah, Clearwater, Lewis and
Nez Perce and the institute will be
held in Lewiston during the week
of October 5.
In the past it has been the policy
for Nez Perce and Latah Counties
to join in holding the teachers in
stitute but the broader plan has
been proposed this year which will
provide a larger fund to secure the
best educators of the country to
make addresses here. County School
Superintendent Miss Kathryn Bry-
den, of Latah County, was in Lewis
ton during the week to confer with
County School Superintendent Miss.
Redfield, President Black, of the
State Normal School, and City Sup
erintendent Simmonds. and it is ex-
pected the plans for the institute
will be announced at early date.
The outline of the institute shows
that the first three days will be de-
voted almost exclusively to the
rural school work and the last three
days will be devoted to work in the
city schools. On the Sunday fol-
lowing the institute it is the pur-
pose to bring some noted minister
to Lewiston to deliver an education
al sermon and this day will be
known as educational day in all the
churches and the sermon by all min
listers in the morning will be along
educational lines.
The selection Of the speakers to
be secured from outside points is
now being made it is practically
certain that J. w. Searson, prom
inant Nebraska educator and one of
the editors of the readers adopted
in Idaho, will be one of the speak
ers for the institute work. William
A. McKeever, of the University of
Kansas, is another noted educator
who will be secured for the four
county institute and within the next
few weeks it is expected the list of
speakers will be completed.

Carried For Bonds

Bovill, at a recent special election,
decided by vote of 81 to to install
water system for general use and
fire protection. The recent burning
of large portion of that village
has awakened the citizens to the
need of fire protection and bonds
will be issued and sold and work be-
gun at once on the installation of the
new system. This is a good deal
on the order of locking the barn
after the horse is stolen, but it will
more than likely prevent repetition
of great property loss such as re-
Gently occurred there. A good
water system is good investment.

Coming Home

Five families with the wagons
passed through Standpoint this morn
ing. They came from their Alberta
country in Canada and tell dismal
story of conditions there. They
say that the country was misrepre-
sented to get them there and that
now there are thousands of men
simply wandering about the country
without work. They claim that the
difference was apparent as soon as
they crossed the line back into the
states again. W. M. Dugan and
family will remain in Bonner county
and the other four are going on to
Occur d. Alene.-Sandpoint News.

After Jim Hill Mustard

In a recent wire to the Spokesman
Review from Chesaw, Washington,
it is stated that small black beetle
is destroying the Jim Hill mustard
in that locality and do not seem to
be damaging any other vegetation.
Two ranchers of that vicinity have
captured and bottled a large number
of the beetles for exhibition pur-
poses.
1t would seem that the people of
that section have fortune within
their grasp if they can only raise a
few billion of the insects for sale.
There are many ranchers all over the
country who would be willing to pay
a good, round price for something
that would destroy the mustard.
