PLAY APPARATUS FOR
HICKMAN SCHOOLS.

The Mothers Club, of Hickman,
in cooperation with the teachers
of the schools, and with the as
sistance of the friends of educa-
ton, are planning and hope to
be able to install lot of play
apparatus on the school grounds
such as swings, sew-saws, hori-
zontal bars, shoot the chutes,
giant strides, travelling rings,
etc. 1T is apparent at a glance
that our schools are woefully
short of the modern means of
amusing the little folks, and that
the undertaking of the Mothers
Club and teachers should have
our hearty support in this effort.
All of these things cost money
and said money must be raised
before purchase could be made
the ladies are confronted with
the eternal problem of how to
get the cash. Whatever the
lpian is, it should, and doubtless
will, have the hearty support of
all parents and citizens of the
school district. 1t will be remem-
bered that the ladies of the
Civic League installed the drink
ing fountains, along with other
needed improvements; and we re
glad the good ladies of Hickman
have the interests of the schools
at heart-otherwise, there would
be little done for their improve
ment. The men are too lazy to
take the initiative, but if the la
dies will go right after them, the
necessary cash will be forth-com-

WOMAN KISSED FOR
ATTACKING WILSON
Tactless Female Insults Visit
ing Governors, Guests Of
Our Own

A chorus of Eoos and Kisses greeted
Miss NJ. G.. Fendall, of Baltimore, Nd,
yesterday when she assailed President
Wilson in a suffrage speech when she
made her talk at the Governors Day
exercises where Governors Witty
combe, Lister, of Washington, and
Alexander, of Idaho, made short ad
dresses at the new auditorium at the
fair grounds. The audience which had
applauded enthusiastically when the
governors and other speakers on the
progrem were heard, began leaving the
auditorium when Miss Fendall made
her attack ON President Wilson, and it
was necessary to rap repeatedly for
order before quiet could be restored.
The, greater part of the crowd, how
ever, filed out quietly and refused to
listen to her remarks against the
president.
Miss Fendall, who was one of the
regular speakers on the program, is one
of the more militant suffragettes from
Maryland, and it was understood that
the program should be entirely non
political. 1t appeared that she could
not refrain from injecting her own
personal views into her address and
the part that aroused the ire of the
audience was when she declared that
the Democrats must be driven out of
office and that any vote for President
Wilson was vote against woman S
suffrage.

st. Benedict, Ore, Sept. 30.-Automo-
biles arrived from all directions this
morning for the big festive jubilee of
the Rev. Adelheim Odermatt, founder
of Mount Angel college, who today cele-
brated the golden jubilee Of entering

from Portland and the surrounding cities
were well filled.
At 9:45 a. M. the procession consist.
ing of Archbishop Christie, Bishop
Simmer, of Spokane; Monsignor Rauw,
Rev. Father Placidus and Rev. Father
Odermatt, followed by the leading socie-
ties of the parish, marched from tho
church parish to the church. The Right
Rev. Jubilarian then sang pontifical
high mass. By recent appointment
from Rome he has been granted the
privilege of singing pontificial high
masses.
His Grace, Archbishop Christie, de-
livered sermon especially giving
honor and praise to Rev. Father Adel-
helm, who for the past 35 years has
labored in the state of Oregon. 1t is to
HlHl Especially tHdI lHt pcOplt VI OIt-
gon owe much in educational lines, for
the college was one of the first in the
state. The archbishop, who is a spe-
cial friend of the Jubilarian, expressed
his pleasure in being here at this grand
jubilee.
Nine. Schumaun-Heink, the famous
singer, enthralled the audience by her
magnificent. singing. Being also a
great friend of Rev. Father Adelhelm,
she travelled from San Diego, Cal, for
the sole purpose of being present at
the jubilee.
After the pontificial high mass the
crowds surged up to the mount, where
the college stands, the entire clergy
alumni, and the many friends of the
fathers had their dinner at the college.
Immediately after the meal all went up
TO the auditorium, where public re-
eeption was held. Among the principal
speakers was Archbishop Christie,
Bishop Simmer, of Spokane! Rt. Rev.
Plaeidus, abbot of the monastery; Faith
er Black, Father Adelhelm and Otto
Oswald.
Nine. Sehumann- Heink again favored
the audience with three select songs.
The hall was crowded and the cele-
brated singer won the hearts of all by
her simplicity

Battle Greek, Mich, Sept. 3O.-Col-

day to inject some ginger into the presi.
Dental campaign. He said so himself.
He is to speak late this afternoon at an

route of q parade that was held before
the colonel had time to wash his face
and hands.
Roosevelt said coming here on the
train last night, that he intends making
a fighting speech this afternoon. Some

went to it, with all the old Roosevelt
tactics that infect crowds with the
