Prairie Annie On Again.

The locomotive of the Nez-

a large portion of the million
bushel wheat crop Of this section
to the Camas Prairie line at
Craigmont, is again in commits
sion, after a few days in the hos
pital for repairs to her boiler.
One Of her chest plates had be-
come sprung from continued ex-
ertion at her ardorous task and
Mr.. Rouse and his assistant, Geo
Dolan, of the Nezperce Machine
Works mended it as neatly and
as strongly as any Of the regular
railroad shops might have done.
In this connection, it is not out
of place to point out that this
community is exceptionally
for handling large,
small and difficult jobs on all
sorts of machinery.

JUNIORS DO CREDIT
IN CLASS PLAY.
Let's All Get Married" Done to
Satisfaction of Large Au-
dience at Auditorium
Friday Night.

| This community has enjoyed
la goodly number of class plays
since the arrival" of the Nez-
lperee public schools, but none
have received more general COM
Imendation than that produced by
the Junior class at the school au-
ditorium last Friday evening. for
the success of which Miss Harri-
son and her assistants, Mrs. PEN
nell and Miss Scott, deserve es-
Iphere of small college town,
recting the cast.
The play, two-act comedy
among the people and atmos-
phere of small college town,
was given before packed house,
where standing room was at a
premium. and its striking feature
was the even cleverness with
which each actor did his part.
While some characters stood out
more prominently than others
had larger say and do-no one
seemed to show greater ability
to handle the task given him
than another. The stumbling of
one good actor over balks made
by am indifferent one, which too
often is the case in amateur the
atricals, was agreeably absent,
permitting the smooth presenta-
ton ,)f the entire story.
The cast, in giving which the
style and manner of play is bet
ter explained, besides the desire
to duly accredit those who COM
posed it, is presented in full as
follows:
Prof. Maxwell Darlington, with
a reputation for mathematics,
Elbert Stellmon.
Ethel Darlington, his sister
who has a sweet secret, Elma
Cook.
Miss Laura Plum, his devoted
;unt, Fannie Farrar.
Marjorie Miller, his dear, tho
distant cousin, Maud Jamison.
Goldie McGrath, his very COM
petent stenographer, Mabel
Mitchell.
Everett Payne, the family law
yer, Roy Rowe.
Rev. Benjamin Morris, who has
excellent intentions, Wayne Hen
derson.
Dick Havens, an irresponsible
William Conger.
Jack Foster, a newspaper man
who shares Ethel's Secret, Dale
Biggs,. very satisfactory but
Ter, Felix Hutchins.

Stevenson Crossing Good.

A Nezperce business man made
a trip into Idaho county this
morning, via the Stevenson eros
sing at Lawyers canyon. HI
stated that the Greencreek high
way folks have been doing some
excellent work on the south side
of this crossing and it is now in
better condition than he ever saw
it. The grade on this side has
been well taken care of, and, al
together, this route affords the
most satisfactory way of going
and coming between the two
counties. Either side of the
grade can be negotiated on high,
save for the steep lift at the low
er end of the south side.

Uniontown, Wash, April 27.-
Due to temporary insanity, de-
veloped as the result of worry
over business matters, Nick
Kaufman, a pioneer of Union
town, who had spent practically
his entire lifetime here, commit
ted suicide at IL 80 o o'clock this
afternoon by shooting himself
through the head with revol.
yer. The wound inflicted was OF
such character that death must
have been instantaneous.
The act was committed in q
rear room of the Palm Pool Hall
of which he was proprietor. In
voicing of the stock had been in
progress at the pool hall and a
sale of the property was pending,
Mr.. Kaufman had secured the
revolver from the room of a
friend. No person was in the
building at the time of the act,
but the report of the revolver at
tracing attention, his body was
revealed.
Mr.. Kaufman was As years
old. He is survived by a wife
and four children: also by broth
ers and sisters.
The deceased was brother-in
law of Deputy Sheriff N. B.
of this city, who attend
ed the funeral at Uniontofwn last
Friday.

Miss Bee s. Holes, public
health nurse, examined the fol
lowing schools in Lewis county
during the month of April
Hicks, Fairview, Russell, Mt
Comfort, Mt. Vale, Mohler, Sun.
set, Greer, Liberty, Kittrell, Nor.
row, Forest and Goose Greek.
A majority of these schools
are in outlying districts where it
is difficult to reach a doctor OF
dentist and as result most OF
the corrections suggested are be-
ing put off until summer. how
ever, three cases of defective Wis
ion have been correctd, three
children have had tonsils remov-
ed and two have had adenoids re-
moved, and twenty-seven have
had dental corrections, pursuant
to suggestions made at the time
of the first examination.
Due largely to the health cru
sade work which has been con-
Quoted during the past year, in
creased interest in health matters
was found in all tschools. Hot
lunches were served during the
winter in three of the schools
Just examined. In most instan-
-ces paper towels have replaced
the common towels formerly used
and individual drinking cups are
now in use.
In every school marked inn
provement was shown in the care
of the teeth. In one school the
pupils wrote compositions ON the
care of the teeth and put them
into little booklets cut in the
shape of a tooth. In this way the
teachers are cooperating with
the Public Health Nurse to sus-
tain the interest of the child in
the Health Crusade.
About March % some cases of
measles developed in the Nez-
perez schools, and during the
time between that date and the
18th of April Miss Holes con-
Quoted daily examinations of
these schools, with the result
that the disease was confined
practically to the third grade
where it originated, and an epi-
demic averted. A serious epidem-
ic Of measles this spring while
the weather was damp and
changeable would have been ac-
companied by coniderable pneu-
monia.
1t is during the preliminary
stages that measles are most in
fectious and usually during this
period children continue to at
tend school. 1t is only by a daily
of the pupils that
the disease can be checked at this
stage.
The appointment of local
health officers by DR.. Dunlap,
county health officer, will do
much toward preventing epidem-
les in the future.

Raise Subscription for New Road

The stretch of highway run
ming north half mile east of the
northeast corner of Nezperce,
and including the serious barrier
TO travel known as the Norton
Miller hill, has long been prob
lem to the road-makers of this
section, and af Mondays meet
ing of the Prairie Highway COM
missioners it was decided to solve
the problem by diverting this
piece Of highway to the draw just
west of it, running through the
Miller farm. A road up this
draw can be made on less than
five per cent grade.
p. M. Harding and Geo. w.
Rowe appeared before the high
way commissioners and secured
an agreement from them that
they would build the road if the
right of way was given the dis
tIict free of cost. 1t was ascer-
tanned that such right of way
could be had for $1,000 and
Messrs. Harding and Rowe pro-
ceeded to raise the $1,000 by sub
scription. They headed the list
with donations of $75 and $50,
and this morning stated that the
end was in sight, with something
over 1850 already subscribed.
This means an easy passage to
and from Nezperce to the east
