'X With a big parade in which 500 cowboys, cow girls and Indians participated this afternoon, the round up, the first wild west show given In the Northwest will come to a successful conclusion. Hereafter It will be an annual affair, ' . Thousands of visitors from the east and west attended and crowded the park where the races, bucking, roping and tying contests were given. P. A. Foley returned last night, with others, from the Roundup and speaks in the highest terms of that city's first effortts In this line. He says that Buffalo Vernon deserved credit for the exhibition he gave. The roping exhi bitions were not as good as expected but Pat has seen the best there Is which made this part of the show tame tu lIui. Tue ouuilug uuise exniDition was good. Hotels, restaurants and private fam ilies did all In their power to care for the crowds and Mr. Foley says one of the good features was that nobody seems to want to graft the guests. There were several accidents which marred the pleasures of the show. One rider sustained a broken arm when his horse fell over . backwards, Another ronn bad his foot crushed. The lady i;lder In the relay race figured In a serious accident when her mount fell and broke Its leg. The management .was forced to kill the valuable ani mal. UNCONSCIOUS HUMOR. ' Tie Way It Sometimes Crops Out In. Examination Papers. "About the driest thing In the world Is the reading of a lot of examination papers," said a young University of Pennsylvania English instructor re cently, "but occasionally the monotony of an evening of such work is relieved by a bit of humor. Frequently stu tents try to be funny, thinking, per haps, that they will in this way get on the right side of the man who marks the papers, but such attempts are usu ally flat failures. It is the' unconscious bits of humor that are the gems. "A short time ago I gave as a sub ject for an essay to one of my fresh man classes 'My Impressions of Penn sylvania." One youth wrote his name at the top of his paper and then sat through the entire hour, gazing at the celling, apparently unable to get a start. Then at the end he handed in the blunk piece of paper. As a piece of satire it would have been excellent, but 1 am sure he had no such inten tion. The blank paper merely repre sented his inability to get his Impres sions In writing and not the lack of impressions. "A short time ago a history profes sor asked the question, 'What caused the French rebellion of 1S30?' One of the replies was merely, 'Too much Bourbon.' If this answer hnd come from an ordinary student he would have given the writer credit for a" witty answer, but it was written by a serious minded youth from the coun try, who, he was sure, was incapable of such an effort and probably did not even know there was a whisky by that name. Truly the unconscious are the gems." Philadelphia Record. Notaries Public - Notaries ubllc are said to have bees first appointed by the leaders of prim hive Christians for the purpose of col lecting data for the lives of the first century martyrs. It was a loug tlin before the office had to do with legal employments, such as attesting deeds, wills, etc., and establishing their au thenticity in any other country. There was much irregularity (n the law con cernlng notaries until the yeur 1S01. when statutes were passed in England and other countries fixing thetr duties. New York American. Mirrors and Sunshine. Many persons do uot know that sun shine Is , destructive to mirrors and produces that milky appearance which cannot be got rid of. When a mirror is being washed the water should not be allowed to get close to the edges. for often It will leak under, giving a mottled effect and ruining the glass. Hand mirrors should be placed where the sun will not strike them, aud tho cleaning pastes that they are polished LOW BATES WILL BE I'SED BY A GREAT 2L1XY. : Local Church Dignitaries and Members" to Attend High Church Functions, A large delegation of L. D. S. churchmen and women are going to attend the annual conference at Salt Lake next week. The 0. R. & N. has offered a round trip fare of $1895 and a great many local "people are going to take advantage of It. Selling dates are from the 2nd to 5th Inclusive, with return limit on the 20th.

Some people just can't make ud their minds . to attend phnivh --- They admire those who do, realize that they are much the" better for a good sermon, but they oversleep, make some important engagement or " wish to spend the time otherwise.. It is to bring these people to church that many novel plana are being adopted. Photo by American Presi Atsoclatlcm. AliMITAGB CBAPEt,, HKW IOBK. . Among them are whistling solos, mu sic by phonograph, magic lantern views, . and . many congregations are treated to songs by famous singers. And now comes something quite unique in ' that direction. John P. Rockefeller, Jr., is having the Arml tage chapel, in New York city, altered so that moving pictures may be shown. The alterations will consist of enlarg ing the platform, Installing a fireproof screen and building an operator's booth. We are all pretty keen to see moving pictures these days, and much la expected of the plan. ... A PEOPLES FORUM. Where's the Responsibility? We, the people are stll at the bus iness. The advocates of high license maintain It to be so. Tne prohlbltlon iests Bay we are guilty of the very act. There Is no voice to the contrary. When a man becomes successful In a peculiar line of work, that business becomes the expression of the owner. The liquor business reveals the true character of the parties engaged In It. It has grown so large in Influence and proportion that people are the real owners. It expresses the character oi the citizens;' the surface-sign of the nature of its owner. The tap root of the booze traffic Is found in the peo ple who compose the commonwealth. It grows and flourishes because it has for ts protection the Influence of the majority. There are many who do not own it. Nevertheless the whole can be recognized by its institutions. It becomes easy for us to shift the re sponsibility upon a portion of the commonwealth. If the liquor business presents a condition that we do not desire, what effort are we exerting to create a different condition? The re sponsiblllty rests unrn all. We de clared by our votes two years f?o that the liquor business nii't c" Public sentiment raised to the crest and voted ' the county "dry." After the' election was over and the wave of temperance sentiment had subsld ed reports were circulated that the saloons were doing business at "the same old stand." We, "the good peo ple" said nothing and did less. Did the ballot box's story represent us or our silent attitude? Our vote and action does not harmonize.

Our silence rather bespeaks cur true expression. The officers of the law are cursed and bemeaned be--ause the law is violated and the vio lators are not brought to Justice. If perchance someone acts the part of a "detective" and the accused parties are brought before the courts, we J throw up our hands In holy horror. If . we are asked to defend the law made by our own hand, we decline in dis gust because the "dear parson" took a high hand in the matter." The men time is upon us. That Unmistak able sniff of Autumn in the air makes it impossible to be comfor tably or correctly attired without the Outer Coat.
