tbe . benefit of the Christian Endeavor

At the Methodist Episcopal church to
morrow. Dec. 16th, the morning theme

evening, "The Glad Announcement."
A cordial welcome to all. '
After the show this evening the Or
chestra Union will give a short dance.

and will be free of charge.

land to testify before tbe grand jury in
the U. S. circuit court. Klein had been
subjected to prison rales, bat was taken
to Portland in citizen's clothes. In con
versing with a Telegram reporter, Mr
Downing said that Klein would be
placed in the stove foundry works.

This year our sale will be far more important than ever before, as our stock is fuller,
more varied, and owing to our taking advantage of Tariff changes and the business de
pression, allows us to offer more tempting prices. Now is the time to get out your sav
ings and invest them to good advantage. While a Dollar in our house is not any bigger
in size than anywhere else, it looks " so because it will buy so much more. This is not a
sale of old goods carried over from year to year, for at the commencement of the year our
stock was extremely low, and this has allowed us to be liberal buyers. This is strictly a

FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
A densely packed room, perfect order,
and the closest attention, evidenced a
most commendable advancement in
educational interest on the pvt ef our
citizens.
"Compositions" was presented by P.
P. Underwood in an address partly
written and partly oral.
The piano duett was well rendered,
and the rapt attention of the large au
dience showed their appreciation.
Mr. Gailey's facial representation of
how Mr. Brown received news of his
mother-in-law's sickness and final death
was most laughable.
Master James Huntington elicited
hearty applause by his faithful portrayal
of "The Small Boy's woes."
The discussion of the school book
question was opened by three leaders,
C. L. Gilbert, A. Frazier and Cassie
Cheese. While some commended the
present series of text books; most teach
ers condemned one or more of the books
now in nse, the brunt of the attack fall
ing upon Sill's Grammar: though Mon
teith's ' Geography, Barnes' Language
Lessons, Fish's Arithmetic aid Wat
son's Speller received some heavy blows.
By request some of the rival agents
present occupied the floor for a time,
each presenting the claims of his house
in a very gentlemanly and pleasing
manner. The discussion was cut short
by the fast falling night. '
During the afternoon Miss Hall gave
an excellent illustration of Kindergar
ten work. The eager and successful
work of the class of little ones was a
high tribute to the merit of her methods
of instruction.
EVENING SESSION.
Within a few minutes after the door
was thrown open, the opera house was
filled to overflowing.
The opening song was a repetition of
one given by the doable quartet at the
court house, Wednesday evening, re
peated by special request.
The address of Supt. E. B. McElroy on
"Some Legal Relations of the Teacher,"
was full of instruction on the relation of
teachers to pupils, to parents, to school
boards and to the school system. The
address should be published for the ben
efit of the many who did not nave the
opportunity of hearing it.
The cantata by forty children was a
treat, richly enjoyed by the vast audience.
Too much cannot be said in praise of
STIMSH I
TE
as Cash will Purchase,
those teachers who mast have patiently
devoted many weary hours in preparing
the children for this and the other exer
cises, with which the school children
have bo successfully entertained the in
stitute from time to time. The recita
tions have been of a high order. The
parents of the speakers certainly owe as
much as a vote of thanks to their
teachers. We thank them most
hearflly.
SATURDAY MORNING.
The critic's report clearly showed that
teachers are not always standards of
either correct pronunciation or the right
nse of words.
The essay on "Physical Training in
Schools," by Miss Welch, was a strong
and well arranged argument in favor of
a uniform system of gymnastic exer
cises, which should be compulsory.
Tbe discussion of tbe subject led to a
close consideration of recesses.. - The
prevailing sentiment was that we need
more physical training in connection
with mental development, and ' that
properly managed recesses are needed.
H. L. Howe read a very pleasing essay
on "Music in Public Schools."
Miss Louise Rintoul's essay on "Spell
ing How Much and How Taught," was
full of useful hints and. suggestions.
One of the best composed, most help
ful essays of the institute was that of
Miss Francis E. Rowe on "Preparation
for Teaching."
The lecture of Prof. Frazier was well
and thoroughly arranged'; but lack of
time prevented its fall development
and any discussion by others.
'The Jolly Old Chums.
The new Walla Walla opera house was
fairly well filled last night to witness
the performance of "The Jolly Old
Chums" company. A rippling, babbling
wave of laughter swept over the audience
from the time the curtain went up until
it fell on the final scene. As a specialty
company "The Jolly Old Chums" is ex
cellent. Their local hits were good and
they did their stage gags admirably.
One of the gags of the evening was that
the company had stopped at a hotel at
Milton where the rules said that "you
need not ring for water, as there was a
spring in the bed." The company has
promised as a return visit next year, and
should they come, they can depend upon
a packed house. Walla Walla States

Sale
and Now Offered at Unheard-of Prices.
goods will be sold at regular prices until then. .
Of course, if you haven't a cent in the world, these reduced prices will be of
little service to you. Or if you have so much money that you don't know how to
spend it, then reductions are not an inducement. But if you are like the ma
jority of people, with just a little money and inclined to make it go as far as pos
sible, then our figures are interesting. . We want in this sale, to see how much
more we can make a Dollar buy than it used to.

At the Opera House.
The opera house last night was liter
ally jammed fall of people bent on hear
in State Supt. McElroy, and enjoying
the entertainment given by the sch jol
children. Many were turned away, un
able to gain admittance, and among
them The Chronicle reporter, who, be
ing lazy, got there, but a trifle late. In
consequence he failed to materialize at a
point where the stage could be seen un
til after the lecture, and not until Miss
Russell had half completed her recita
tion. We know not how many good
things we missed, but we are glad Indeed
we did not miss that recitation, as it was
very fine. This was followed by the
cantata, a prettily costumed piece,
which pleased the audience highly.
Lack of space today prevents extended
mention which will be made later. The
curtain fell after Charley Heppner, rep
resenting the last of the nations as a
Chinaman, had concluded to reject Miss
Columbia's invitation if there were any
"Japs" or "Ilishmen" present.
