Drafts drawn; on. all MlflLS it Yesterday morning nearly every school teacher in Union county assembled in the court house when County Superintendent Bragg called the first session of the an nual teachers institute which will last three days. Leading pedagogues of the state are in attendance and will take active parts be fore the institute closes. After the open ing exercises in the morning W. G. Hart ranft of California addressed the teachers about eighty strong, on the "Spirit of the teacher." For nearly an hour he held the rapt attention of the listeners. E. D. Ressler then gave a brief but interesting alk on "Essentials ir. the course of study" which was followed by one of State Sup erintendent J. H. Ackerman's admirable addresses. J. A. Churchill, who was to have been heard was not present due to death in his family. In his stead, Sup erintendent Mulkey arrived today to fill the vacancy. Such men of learning as President Ressler of the state normal school. President Campbell of the state ni.iifi,:.n c....,...:.,..,...... c tendent of Umatilla schools Frank ,E. Wells, and W. G. Hartranft will make the meetings instructive and interesting and furnish a source for much knowledge in some of the knotty questions that are for ever looming up before the grade teacher. These men were all here this morning and will be heard several times during the institute. Monday p. m. the following topics were discussed: "Music in the Public Schools,' E. D. Ressler; "Using School Libraries,' W. G. Hartranft; address, Sup t J. H. Ackerman. The second day of the teacher's insti tute was even more successful than yes terday. in regards to numbers as well as general interest and instructiveness. The large auditorium at the court house was crowded today with eager listeners. Be sides the scheduled program, President Campbell addressed the teachers during the forenoon session. Following are the speakers: "Child Study." E. D. Ressler; Address. President Campbell. H. J. Hockenberry; Address, Supt. J. H. Ackerman; "Present Problems in Amer ican Education," E. D. Ressler; "Primary Reading." W. G. Hartranft; "Teacher Study." E- D. Ressler; "The Spirit that Succeeds." W. G. Hartranft; Address, Supt. J. H. Ackerman. P. L. Camphell's address this afternoon on "What the profession should do for the teacher" was masterly both in logic and delivery. His line of thought was practical forcable and left its imprint on the minds of all that was fortunate enough to attend. Following are the names those in at tendance. Allen E.N. Cove Ayers S. N.

TO REVISE ARTICLES Of WAR (Scrlpps New Aimoclatlon) Washington, Sept. 4- -It is proposed by the President to have the Articles of War amended. His attention has been called again to the antiquated character of the articles which, save for some minor changes made from time to time, are practically the articles of more than a century ago. He is especially interested in changes of the articles which refer to trial by court martial of volunteers in time of war, The existing articles provide that in such an event the court must be composed of volunteer officers entirely. During the employment of volunteer regiments in Cuba and the Philippines some of the offending volunteer officers and enlisted men were tried by courts upon which sat regular officers. The courts decided that the finding and sentences in such instances were illegal, and these senten ced had the right to claim redress. This has led to the desire to have the Condi ion changed so as to remove the restric tion from the proceedings of the courts sitting at a time when volunteers are in service. It will probably be impossible to do this, since there is an enduring senti ment in Congress against the trial of voluntters by a court composed, even to a limited extent, of regulars. There is a fear that something ill hap pened to the volunteer, and there is no hope that only a slight modification of the existing situation will be affected. As for the rest of the articles of war, it is proposed to have them generally over hauled and brought up to date. The draft of such a general amendment was made at the time the General Staff was organized. Col. E. H. Crowder, now the acting judge advocate general of the amry was the author of the proposed amend ments, but it has been considered that the time has not arrived for attempting the change, which will require action by Congress. The President's interest in the subject will probabiy serve to have the draft submitted to Congress in December. . j'.-ISTr.h y .'T.ijnliin Tea Ni!jjeU : niioini for Baty PwpU il.

Engage tickets now of HllllllllE mm That was a huge ball game yesterday. When after some delay the game started there was a large crowd present to wit ness one of the great struggles for sup remacy in the art of ball playing, as played by the businessmen of this city On both sides were several players who upto within a few weeks have been in practice, but there were also men in the line up who plainly demonstrated that they knew the game regardless of the fact that they had not doned a mit in years. The foremost of these is Wm. Miller. He covered the initial bag so satisfactory that it called for comment from every one pres ent. Geo. Cleaver at shot played the game like a professional. ' Van Buran came up to bat for the north side and walked. Williams and Miller joined in the promenade. An error or two started Van Buran towr.rd home followed by Williams, Miller, Crawford and Childers. This gave them an awful ead but not daunted, the souihsiders came up with a little single by Cotner and wiiu tiuitt iv uuiii auu uu a iiii. oy C'liiu' rs, scored. For the next two successive innings they scored one in each. In the third "Cleaver walked and scored later. There was nothing particular brilliant about the game up to the seventh when Williams, thn twirler sent the ball into a nearby potato field, and took his own time at circumventing the diamond. The trick was repeated by Scriber in the eighth only he sent the little ball over the fence in another direction. The North aiders raise a holler, claiming that over the fence was out, but umpire Kooser, let the score stand. The score stood S to 8 favor of the. Norths up to the seventh, when the players from a warmer clime toek a premature ascension and let in four tuns. In this session M. Childers replaced Cotner in the pitcher's box. In the eighth the south scored McGee and Scriber bringing the score to five where it remained. So without anymore scores the terrific struggle ended. While the score card shows eleven to five on'the Northside'e tally sheet, the Southsiders are confident that they could have defeated the cold ones, but for the fact that the proposed baloon ascension was attract ing the attention of their players.
