demic of scarletina or scarlet rash that
is prevalent among school children

John o. Johnson, who was here from
Crystal last Friday, reported that a
rabid coyote had been killed there by
Moses Tanning Monday of last week.
The coyote bit dogs belonging to Mr..
Tanning and Mr.. Burwell. The course
of the coyote was traced across the
settlement for three miles and 1t may
have bitten other animals. Mr.. john
son says the people are watchful ana
no precaution will be neglected to
provide protection against animals
that may have been bitten.
In common with other localities
Mr.. Johnson says, there is scarcity
OF feed in the Crystal settlement thaf
is becoming acute. Unless spring
comes soon there may be heavy loss

SPENCER-BOND RECITAL.
Celebrated Artist Demonstrates Tone
Reproduction and Charms and Salts
iies Large Audience.

Miss Elizabeth Spencer, soprano
assisted by Mr.. Abraham Bond violin
list, fulfilled all the promises that had
been made for her when she sang to
500 music lovers of American Falls in
the NJ. E. church last night. The only
fault to be found with her entertain
ment was that it ended too soon.
When "The Last Rose of Summer had
been sung by special request and the
program ended Herewith, there was
hardly person in the audience who
would not have stayed another hour
so beautiful and sweet was the voice
of Miss Spencer, both the actual and
the re-created.
The musical was rendered last even
ing by Mr.. and Mrs. Rowland of How
lands Variety store. People went to
the recital as early as 1880 to get
seats and by eight o'clock there we're
no seats available. Miss Spencer held
her audience with apparent ease from
her opening rendition of "Berceuse" tc
her last song THE Last Rose of Sum
mer."
Miss Spencer and Mr. Bond are two
of the highly paid artists who travel
for Mr.. Edison and demonstrate the
excellency of his vocal and instrument
tai re-creations. Probably no singer
in the United States is able to please
a larger percentage of the people than
Miss Spencer. Every word she sings
can be heard and distinctly under
stood.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rowland are well
pleased with the response made by
the people of American Falls to the
appearance Of the two celebrated Edi.
son artists and hope some time to gel
them to return. Miss Spencer and Mr.
Bond left this morning for Idaho Falls
where they will appear tonight.
During one of the number the
lights were turned out for the purpose
it was stated, Of preventing the au
dience of seeing the movement of Miss
Spencers lips. At the close of th'
number the lights were switched OF
and Miss Spencer had disappeared in
to the pastors study. None in th'
audience knew that she had disappear
ed, nor when. This was the best tes
of the perfect vioce reproduction.

good of the people as a whole, and
courts are established to aid in en-
forcing the laws. If persons are
charged with doing wrong and COM
miting crimes the courts try them to
see whether they are guilty or in
nocent.
There are several different courts,
the police courts that try small mat
ters, usually relative to city ordin-
ances justice courts with the right
to try misdemeanor charges and suits
about small matters in precincts; pro-
bate courts that settle estates of de-
ceased persons, and also try small
cases; district courts such as this, the
highest trial court in the state, tries
all charges of felony and controver-
sizes about property rights, no matter
how big the claim. The supreme
court, which is court of appeals
primarily; that is, if people are not
satisfied with what the district court
orders, they may have the supreme
court examine the record and deter
mine whether or not the judgment of
the district court should be sustained
or reversed. The supreme court does
not try cases.
The clerk of the district court, Mr.
Bulfinch or Miss Torrance, must make
record of all papers filed in this
court in each case and what is done
and the court reporter takes down in
shorthand all that is said at each

LIBRARY Is FREE.
Membership Cards Are Not Required
in Order to Obtain Library PriVi-
leges.

The Press gave the wrong inference
to the story of the library campaign
for funds last week, when it said that
"a membership card will entitle the
holder to all the privileges of the pub
lie reading room and loan desk for the
period of one year"
membership card does entitle the
holder to the privileges above men
toned but is not necessary. Any man.
woman or child in American Falls is
entitled to the use of the library free
of all charge and does not have to
be the holder of a membership card.
Mrs. Reed, librarian, has had sew
eral inquiries during the last week
from children and older people. as to
when it would be necessary for them
TO purchase tickets in order to use the
library. She wants it understood that
it is not necessary to purchase the
tickets and says that many people
have not used the library in the past
because they thought that such was
the case. The library is maintained
for the use of the people of Ameri-
can Falls, whether or not they have
membership cards. The cards are
simply one method the finance COM
mittee has of raising money TO apply
on the debt owed for the building.

MAY ORGANIZE EASTERN STAR,

Efforts to organize a branch Of the
Eastern Star, auxiliary to the Masonic
order, in American Falls, are being
quietly conducted by Masons here.
Those interested expect that such an
organization will be particular bene-
fit 10 the town in addition to a source
of activity for many local women.
Eight applications we're made to
the local Masonic order last week and
several we're given degrees. V. A.
Grayott, e. NJ. Sparks, NJ. M. Myers
and John voight have recently been
initiated and passed the degree of fell
lowcraft.

AT MOUNT HOPE SCHOOL.
Instruction Children Are Receiving
Should Be More Than Pleasing to
Parents.

The children of the Mount Hope
school, probably better known as the
Giffin school, are certainly to be con-
graduated upon the instruction they
are receiving. In addition to the reg
ular school course they are getting do
mestic science and limited manual
training. Miss Lola Skartvedt, the
teacher, taught at Crystal last year
in one of the smallest schools of the
county, and introduced domestic
science and manual training into the
schools. AS a result of her splendid
work there she now has one of the
best schools in the county.
The writer in company with the
copnty superintendent, Mrs. Wilson,
ard State Leader Mccall and Miss q.
Fay Fowler, of the boys and girls
clubs, visited the Mount Hope school
Wednesday of last week, and by clev-
er maneuvering managed to be there
at noon when the hot school lunch
was served. 1t consisted of oyster
soup, cold meats, scalloped potatoes
bread and butter, radishes and baked
apples with whipped cream, and as
well prepared as could be found in
any home.
Miss Skartvedt has thoroughly in
terested the children in this work, and
it is easy to see how keen they are to
continue it. The dinner was prepar-
ed during the recess period, so that nc
time was lost from the regular school
work There was an exhibit of sew
ing and baking for the benefit of the
club leaders. Miss Fowler, in talking
to- the children. complimented them
/ highly upon the neatness of their
work
State Leader Mccall encouraged the
children to take up club work during
the summer, advising them to get in
touch with County Agent Kjosness
and work under his direction. The
boys manifested their interest by pro-
pounding questions regarding the
growing of a variety of things, but
being unfamiliar with climatic and
soil conditions, was compelled to re-
fer them to the county agent for an
swers. He interested them, however
in the success of the potato and pig
clubs of Canyon county. He advised
all the children, boys and girls alike
to grow something which they coulC
exhibit at the fair and earn money
with which to start bank account.

Prosperity schools, and j. D. Isaal

The equipment of the school is quite
meager, but the most is made of the
little the school has. A good range
is the only equipment that represents
much outlay. There is a shortage O
dishes and the cooking equipmen
might be enlarged to advantage. Th'
boys, under direction of Miss Skart
vedt. built the kitchen furniture an'
fixtures. The district is certainly II

is being done for the future men an'
