THE DCFUB INSTITUTE.
Report of the Last Day's Proceedings
of
the Institute.
Dufur, March 2, 1896.
Editor TorES-MorNTAlNEEB? ,
In my report of the institute at this
place you make m say that Miss Hattie
Stein wise sang solo, Miss Steinwise
is not a soloist she, simply declaimed a !
piece and did it well. Also you report
that Mrs. Nellie Hudson did thus and
go. Miss Hudson has been in our
school here for some years and is not
married.
On Friday afternoon the pupils in
the Dufur school sang two or three
selections after which P. P. Under
wood took charge of the institute.
First presenting the subject of how to
teach language. The substance of his
remarks was that the pupil must use
language, and teachers, parents and
all interested in children must see
that they use correct forms. A few
teachers expressedjthemselves in much
the same view.
Mr. Frazier advocated the teaohing
of such nomenclature as would enable
the child to converse understanding
about the sentence. Spoke of the sub
ject, predicate and the four general
forms of predication. And insisted
that it constituted the basic knowledge
of composition.
Mr. Joseph O'Brien's faults of teach
ers, from a student's standpoint was
somewhat scathing, but as Jo is a good
natured fellow and was not personal
all forgave him; except perhaps a few
ladies that looked a little worried at
his alluding to lady teachers being
cross next day after entertaining the
company of one, until a late hour of
the previous night.
On Friday evening the exercises
were well attended and well received.
P. P. Underwood's address on educa
tion was full of meaning, and delivered
in a manner that showed great earnest
ness, and must have done much good.
A. F.
A. O. U. W. The Lowest.
Notwithstanding all the foolish
clamor about the danger of fraternal
orders being overwhelmed by an in
creased death rate, the last national
fraternal congress reported that the
average death rate for 1894 was 10.42
per cent., and that of the A, O. U. W.,
the oldest of them all, was only 10.11
per cent. What better showing could
be desired? From the date oi its or
ganization to the present time, over
$64,000,000 have been disbursed by the
A, O, U. W. Every dollar of this
money has gone into the homes of the
brothers' families. No order oan pay
the death losses for less than the ac
tual cost, but theAr. O. U. W, does pay
losses at actual cost. The death rate
of the A. O. U. W. is below the aver
age according to the figures of the fra
ternal congress. Gold is gold in any
condition we may find it, but the stamp
plaoed upon it fixes the value for the
world. So with a man, He is a man,
but he needs the stamp of fraternal
friendship and brotherly love upon his
soul to make him a congenial spirit
among his kind.
.An Interesting Lecture.
Dr. Kantner's lecture entitled,
"Move On," delivered at the Congre
gational church last evening, was one
of the most interesting of the series
that has been delivered by different
able and learned orators in this city
during the past winter. Dr. Kantner
is a pleasant and forceful speaker, pos
sessing the happy faculty of retaining
the attention, of ha hearers, and his
subject wag one whioh embodied many
gems of thought. "Move on," the
speaker illustrated, was the incentive
that impels every action in life to high
and worthy accomplishments. It was
the foundation of , every important
achievement, the motive that caused
the world to advance in the progress
! civilization, knowledge and wealth
In short, "mow on" is the secret to
all success, while failure is the result
of neglecting to observe this command
The lecture throughout was inter
spersed with pleasant anecdotes illus
trative of theone principle,-'moveon
Kenneth Clair Again.
The little waif left on Mr. Farley's
door step some time since is becoming
one of the most important personages
in the city. The ladies go to see and
gaze upon him with bewildering in
quiry; the children tilk of him, and
the local poets dedicate verse to his
honor. Last week the Times-Moun
taineer published a poem on the
young stranger, ana today it gives
another which the author dedicates to
the youthful enigma. '
I have neither father nor mother,
Nor can I claim sister or brother.
Relatives to me I cannot claim;
I am a child without a name.
Indeed, they call me Kenneth Clair,
But that I think is hardly fair,
I will adopt it just the same, '
Until I find my own true name.
Lying in a basket snug and neat.
Clothed in garments from head to feet.
On a door-step one frosty morn,
I found myself after I was born.
Abandoned by those who ought to protect.
Yet I was so young, I could not object.
Like a spear cast by a Roman hearld,
I was cast to the mercies of the world.
What was I, such a youn?chlld. to do?
I could not think for I never knew.
I:. thought much better it would have been.
If this world I never had come in.
Within the house 4here was no light;
The stars outside were shtnin? bright.
Soinewhat chilled by the frost of the sky.
I could not help it I had to cry.
The good people came and took me in.
And there ever since I have been.
And now the folks at me do stare,
And kiss and call me Kenneth Clair.
But it is not to me a surprise.
That folks don't say of my hair and eyes.
That they are like his father's or mother's
Or that he resembles his sisters or brothers.
For they know not who gave me birvb,
I am a stranger to all the earth,
I am to the world a little waif.
Yet I am here quite snu; and safe.
When I get older I will some day,
Get on my knees and to God I'll pray,
To send to me my own lost mother,
Who has thus cast me upon another.

Rehearing: la Denied.
On Monday before the supreme court
in Salem a brief response to the peti
tion for a hearing in the branch asy
lum case was nanaed down, denying a
rehearing. It is a per curium denial,
and the full text is as follows:
"Since delivering the opiiion in this
case, an elaborate petition for rehear
ing has been filed. We have carefully
examined it, and, while some of the
points made at the hearing are present-
in a new light and with much force,
there is no new question made not con
sidered by us in the former . opinion.
We see no reason for changing the
conclusions then reached, hence a re
hearing is denied."
This will settle the branch asylum
case until some ingenuous balemite
discovers a new cause for enjoining the
state authorities from proceeding to
construct the asylum at Union. But
that this discovery will be made and a
new suit begun is almost a foregone
conclusion.

i

is indeed an important strike, as it de
terrains the fact that artesian water can
be had in this vicinity, and will result
in the reclamation of thousands of
acres of valuable agricultural land.
The well is so situated on Mr. Kelsay's
place that water from it will cover
about 200 acres of land, affording an
abundance of water to irrigate the en
tire tract. Mr. Kelsay,' however, is
determined to make ' further1 develop
ments made in this line, and will cause
another well sunk to the depth of 100
feet.

It Snowed Sand.
The snow which fell here Monday
was something more than the ordinary
congealed water which philosophy tells
us snow is. It was heavily , charged
with sand. All plain surfaces on which
it fell and from which it was allowed to
thaw without being disturbed, show a
thin covering of alkali sand. . The
thoery advanced by those who have ob
served the phenomenom is that during
the heavy wind that prevailed Sunday
night the sand was carried high into
the heavens, and fell with the enow

TUB CONGRESSMAN'S WOKS.
He Is Beseiged on all Sides by Those Who
Want Office and Position.
Most people suppose it is great fun
to be a congressman, to draw sfo.uuu a
year salary, stationary at $125 a session,
clerk hire at $100 a month, and mile-
ago at 10 cents a mile with a railroad
pass in your pocket. But there are
members of congress who often pause
to wonder if the game is worth the
candle. For instance, Mr. Meredith,
a congressman from Virginia, is in
great doubt whether he cares to con
tinue a statesman or whether he would
do better to end his troubles by step
ping down and out. He represents
the district which lies directly across
the Potomac river from Washington,
and about one-third of the population
of his district is trying to get a job un
der the government in the city. Mr,
Meredith lives at Brentsville, Va.,
being- one of the few men who can be
a congressman and stay at home, too.
He comes to Washington every morn
ing by train and goes home in the eyen
ing. In the morning he has his man
drive him to the station, but not al
ways to the same one. Sometimes he
goes to Brentsville, sometimes to
Suithsville, sometimes to Jenkinsville,
Arriving in Washington, he executes
another flank movement by leaving
the train sometimes at the navy yard
and sometimes jumping off at Mary.
land avenue while the train is in
motion, several squares from the sta
tion. The crowd of whites and colored
men and women wait for him in vain
at the depot. During the day Mr.
Meredith secludes himself in the cloak
room and doorkeepers with cards hunt
for him in vain. His luncheon is
brought in. When he leaves the
capitol it is still another flank move
ment through one of the numerous
basement or terrace exits, where he
has a closed carriage waiting to con
yey him to the depot. Despite all these
expedients and artifices Mr. Meredith
is sore pressed by needy place hunters,
and he has not yet decided that life is
worth living.

coldest March weather that has been
recorded since the establishment of

A Portland Wedding.
One of the pretty events of the week
was the wedding of Miss Nettie Pen
nington, of Kansas City, to Mr. A. H.
Follett, of this city, at the residence
of the bride's sister, Mrs. A. N. Clark,
263 Cherry street, East Side, last

roses. The ceremony, was performed
by Dr. Charles Edward Locke. The
bride was handsomely attired in white

and oarried a bouquet of bride's roses.
The bridesmaid, Miss Grace Laird, was
attired in pale blue silk, with a boquet
of pink La France rosebuds. The best
man was Mr. -Arch Follett. A flash

immediately after the ceremony. One
hundred and fifty guests witnessed the
ceremony. Oregonian. Both the con
tracting parties have a number of
friends at Dufur whq will be pleased
to learn of their happy union.
Mot Even a Trace. -
Some time since S. L. Brooks sent
a quantity of rock from the Goldendale
quartz mines to the chemical labratory
and assay office of J. H. Fisk in Port
land for assay, and yesterday received
the assayor' s certificate, showing that
not even a trace oi gold or silver was
found in either of the two assays made,
Mr. Fisk, in a letter accompanying the
certificate says; ' '
"I have made a very careful assay
of your ore, also a thorough test by the
cyanide process, and am unable to de
tect the least trace of gold. The ore
is not a good gold rock, it is tufa, com
posed largely of voloanio ash. ' I have
made other assays from the same sec
tion of the country of similar ore, but
it was very red with the oxide of iron,
which had a very low per, cent of gold,
but it was of more permanent forma
tion than this seems to be,"

W. H. Hurlburt, general passenger
agent of the O. R. & N. Co., returned
bunday from Chicago. In an inter
view with a Telegram reporter he says:
Considerable travel was reported to
the Cripple Creek mining district.
This, it is believed, will give a great
impetus to the mining interests
throughout the entire northwest, and
Oregon will get her share of the bene
fits accuring. Many of the Cripple
Creek enthusiasts will no doubt come
to Oregon, and our mining interests,
especially in Eastern Oregon, will re
ceive such a lift as they have not had
for years. Were the resources of our
mines as well advertised as those of
Colorado, there would probably be as
much of an Oregon fever in the east as
there now is a Cripple Creek fever."
