Owing to the low salaries usually
paid teachers it will be a considerable
tax upon them to attend the normal
school to be held here from July 12 to
August 12, provided they cannot ar
range for board at less than usual rates.
This, however, will be overcome by
some of the teachers who have ar.
ranged to form clubs and board them
selves, the gentlemen agreeing to pay
house rent and supply provisions, while
the ladies will keep house and do the
cooking. The idea is a good one, and if
adopted by all the teachers would be a

HE VOWED VENGEANCE.
And Got It with a Will Lord Beglnald't
Path.
'He strue-c-c-k me!"
The villain strode up and down the
stage cycle ,ath and ground his teeth
with rage, ssys tbo New York World.
"lie Btruc-c-c-c-li Cecil LegTee!"
In a very ecstasy of fury the villain
stamped his feet and tore his hair.
"lie struck Cecil Lejrree! J(0 man
ever did that and lived to tell the tale.
And as for the girl ah, me proud beau
tv, you shall yet feel the vengeance of
Leg-ree!"
What venom, what hatred there was
in the' bitter words.
Even the pale moon wobbled in tht
canvas heavens.
"I have tL- papers; ha, ha, ha! I'll
bide ma tira", and then, then I'll cros
his path again!"
Raisin"- his clenched hand the villain
served notice upon high heaven and the
property moon that some day he would
puncture pronu Lord Reginald tire
"1 11 cross his path again! I'll cross
his path again!" he repeated.
A whirr on the air of the stilly night,
an ominous grindinjupon the theatrical
macadam, a pneumatic "biff" like the
"biff" of a pile-driver, a bent, battered
shape crashinsr into a pale-reen tree
trunk with a dull, sickening thud and
then silence silence!
It was even so.
ITe had crossed Lord Reginald's cycle

A POLITICIAN TESTED.
Congressman Wno Could Not Flay
. Checker to Salt Constituents.
'One of the ablest men in congress
will lose a number of votes in his dis
trict in Georgia," said ' a department
clerk to a Washington Star renorter,
A friend of mine wrote me some time
ago that the judge was safe so far as
his reelection was concerned, but my
friend visited one of the back coun
ties a few days ago and found that a
decided change in sentiment had come
jbout. He asked one of the political
leaders:
" 'What is thematter with the judge?'
" 'He am t no good.
" 'Why, what did he ever vote for
that you are not in favor of?'
" '1 dunno."
' 'Did ho vote against anything you
wanted passed
"The newspapers all speak well of
nim.
" 'Newspapers is alius lym.'
" 'What is the matter?'
" 'Waal, he corned out here, an Tom
Wilkins beat 'im playin' checkers. Tom
kain't play a little bit, an what kin o'

Strategy Well Employed.
The wise mem of the east understand
fhe value of strategy anil know when
to UBe it. A rich merchant died. Ho
had one sou, who when quite a lad had
been sent to an uncle in India. When
on his way home the young fellow was
shipwrecked. It was believed fiat hf
escaped drowning, though no tidings of
him could be obtained. His father died,
leaving his fortune to the care of an old
friend, not to be handed over to any
claimant, until certain injunctions had
been fulfilled. At the end of a year a
young men appeared, who declared
himself the heir; then a second and
a third arrived on the scene. The guard
ian gave to each a row and arrow and
des:Ted tlicm to use the dead man's pic
ture as a target to aim at the heart.
The first nrnrly hit the mark, the sec
ond drove h's arrow homo, but the third
burst into tears mid refused to dishonor
his father's memory by desecrating- th
lortrait if one whom he had lovel
and revered. Then the guardian knew
which cf the three was entitled to the
fortune. . -

BOASTED THIS COl'BT.
Marlon County rand Jnrj stirred op a
Harnets Nest.
The Marion county grand jury last
week made an investigation of the
acts of the county court, and has made
a report that reflects no credit upon
the business methods adopted by the
judge and commissioners of that
county. A majority and minority re
port was made. The majority report
is signed by B. J. Grim, foreman; Jones
P. Teller, clerk; J. M. Watson and J.
N. Davis, and the minority report by
Henry Helmke, Daniel Humphrey and
Thomas Townsend. The majority re
port is severe on the county court,
while the minority report finds the of
ficials blameworthy only for "injudi
cious action and want of discretion.'
Relative to the recent improvements
in the county courthouse that were
made by Walter Pugh and Charles
Gray, at a cost or $2242 65, the major
ity find that scarcely any of the im
provements were necessary, and in
their opinion could have been made
for about $1550, with a fair profit to the
contractors. The majority say:
"That it is our opinion that the busi
ness of the county is conducted in a
very loose and unsystematic manner;
that Judge Terrell has ordered bills
paid without sanction, and under pro
test from the county commissioners-"
They further say: "We find the
county judge of this county guilty of
criminal negligence in allowing exor
bitant charges to be made against the
county; we also find that said judge al
tered the bill presented by Pugh &
Gray for courthouse improvements, by
Inserting the figure '2' In one Item,
making it read '$29 80'; also by insert
ing the figure '5' before the figures
'65c,' in another item, making it read
'$5 65,' instead of '65c'; also for raising
the Dill of one A. Mason, for Improving
a road east of Gervals, from '$250' to
'$350'; that the county commissioners,
while not criminally culpable, have
shown a lamentable lack of firmness in
opposing the extravagant ideas of
Judge Terrell; that, in view of the ex
isting hard times and scarcity of money,
we utterly condem the action of County
Judge Terrell. "
In conclusion, the majority report
says:
"We have presented all the facts rel
ative to the courthouse improvements
and alterations of records to the cir
cuit judge by way of presentment, and
find from the facts and law given to us
by said court, that crime was com
mitted in altering and forging the re
cords of the county. In conclusion, we
can but praise District Attorney S. L.
Hayden and his deputy, J. H. McNary,
for their able assistance and uniform
courtesy to the gratia jury in assisting
in the various investigations. We
also consider it a deplorable state of
affairs that the people of this county
haye no protection."

ie Knights and Their Ladles Enjoy a
Pleasant Evening.
Monday night Friendship Lodge No.
9, K. of P., was entertaining. The oc
casion was an official visit of Grand

office rooms, entertaining themselves
comingling together, until 10 o'clock, -when
they tired of being left to
their own entertainment, and ap
pearing at the portals of the castle
hall, vigorously demanded admission.
This the Knights were too gallant to
refuse. Grand Chancellor Oliver
hastily closed his lecture, lodge busi
ness was concluded, and the ladles filed
into the hall unceremoniously, when

and the Knights and ladies were soon
whirling round the ball keeping step
to sweet strains of music. This past
time was indulged in but a short time,
however, when the doors leading to
the banquet hall were thrown open.
Spreads had been laid for 100, and a
banquet was served that epoke volumes
for the culinary ability of those who
prepared it. Later dancing was again

STATE SUKDAT SCHOOf. ASSOCIATION
The Convention is Attended by a Large
Mumber of Delegates.
On Monday evening, June 28, the
State Sunday School Association of
Oregon, met in the M. E. church in
this city, with a goodly number of
delegates from all parts of the state
present. The convention was opened
with devotional exercises by Rev. J.
H. Hershner, of Hood Biver.and a wel
coming address by Mrs. M. E, Briggs,
of The Dalles. The address was full
cf hearty welcome, and called for a
pleasing response from Rev. C. A.
Nutty, of Portland.
The president's address, "Past Re
sult?," was encouraging, in that it
8 ho wed good results bad been accom
plished during the past year, and in
spite of depressing times, new organ
izations have been effected in two
counties, Tillamook and Klamath.
Rev, G.-W. Gue delivered a stirring
address on the "outlook," after which
there was a season of "fellowship" for
the purpose of getting acquainted. : '
During the evening session excel
lent music was rendered under the su
pervision of William Wadbams, of
Portland, and the session, which lasted
well into the night, was ; a profitable
and interesting meeting.
At 8:30' this morn ing the executive
committee met to plan for the direc
tion of the convention, and at 9 o'clock
Rev. E. E. Fix, of Portland, opened the
morning session with devotional ex
ercises. ;
The first business of the session was
tbe appointment of the following com
mittees: Resolutions R. J.. Ginn, W. J.
Hugos, Rev, Morrison, Mrs. H. B.
Morse, Mrs. W. D. Diver, Mrs. Bar
alew. Finance A. P, Macy, Dr. H. S.
Frazier, Rey. McElere Ross, Mrs. G.
W. Shaw, Miss Jacobs.
Nominations Rev. C. C. Paling,
Kev. G. W. Gue, E. Bufles, Miss Ella
McBride, Mrs. Gilkie.
The reports from counties showed
some advance in the work during the
past year, but not so great an increase
as had been anticipated.
The executive committee submitted
an exhaustive report giving a full ex
hibit of the labors performed during
the year just closed, and recorded the
organization of two counties during
the year, Klamath and Tillamook.
This is the result, says the report of
the untiring efforts of Rey. W. R.
Winans and Rev. Dr. Gue. Other
county organizations are reported to
be in a prosperous condition, and Sun
day school work throughout the state
is eliciting interest everywhere.
The report of the treasurer for the
past year showed receipts amounting
to $575.91, disbursements $515.40.
Presen. indebtedness $227.15, some of
which is of two years' standing. Re
sources, good subscriptions, $151.
According to the report of the secre
tary there has been a gain of 26 Sun
day schools during the past year, dis
tributed among the several counties as
follows:
Gilliam 3
Grant 1
Klamath 14
Lake 1
Malheur 1
Tillamook .".'."I".'"!!!.'!.! 6
Clackamas and Harney counties re-
port the same number oi schools as
there were last year, while there has
been losses in the other counties as
follows:

Multnomah 24

Umatilla 33

This shows a loss of 225 schools from.
the enrollment of last year, and 124

OFF FOR CAMP JACKSON.
Militia Boys Left the City With Banners
Flying.
When the Portland express arrived
here Monday it had on board Co.
A, of Wasco. The company was under
command of Lieut. Hendricks, and was
40 strong, every member of the com
pany, except one, who is at present re
siding outside the state, having re
sponded to the call to go into camp.
Here they were met by Co. G, under
command of Capt. Reese. Besides the
brigade officers and officers of the com-1
pany, there were 32 men in line, jand
they took possession of a car as if they
had captured it in battle. Both the
companies were composed of fine, lusty
fellows, perfect pictures of health and
activity, and were companies of which
any state might well be proud. When
the train pulled out from the depot,
the soldier boys gave a lusty cheer,
and with oolors flying, looked as If
they were really off for the war. Capt.
A. Ad. Keller and Corporals Koheler
and Grunow, in charge of the officers,
horses, took passage on the steamer
Regulator.

A New Fangled Contraction.
A traveling man put in an appear
ance in the city Tuesday morning with
a pattern of a bicycle that was alto
gether new in these parts. So much
so that its presence on the streets was
sufficient to attract almost as much of
a crowd as a circus parade. It is known
as the "companion" bicycle, and while
it has but two wheels, for and aft
same as an ordinary, it has two seats
arranged Bide by side. There are two
sets of pedals, and two chains, but
they are connected with the rear axle,
Several persons had the courage to
mount the thing and ride it around, in
pairs of course. The beauty of it Is
said to bo, that if a man wants to take
his best girl, or some other fellow's
pirl for a ride and she doesn't know
how, it doesn't matter, the one who
does know can manage the thing all
right if the novice does not get scared
and take too tight a hold on the handle
bars. The handle bars are connected
so that whichever way one moves the
other follows suit and there is no
danger of one rider trying to turn one
way and the other another. It
might do first rate for level bicycle
paths, but how would it work on a
rough road with a 200-pound man on
one side and a 110 pound of sweetness
on the other? The agent, however,
says the difference in weight would cut
no material figure. A few of the more
courageous of our cyclienness tried it
and pronounced it out of 6ight. Rose-

citv has taken a new and commend.
able departure in securing large and
attractive fruit exhibits at the next an
nual state fair to be held the coming
fall at Salem, commencing September
30th. The society will offer a premium
of $250 for the best, largest and most
attractive exhibit of fruits. This is a
county affair. That is, each county
in the state competes to see which can
get up the finest fruit exhibit, and is
intended to encourage the fruit
raisers of each county to club together
and get up their exhibit. Thi9 new
departure by the management will be
the means of bringing to the state fair
one of the largest and finest fruit ex
hibits ever seen in the northwest. The
annual premium list for 1897 is now
out and should be in the hands of all
who are interested. A copy can be
had by addressing the secretary, C. D.
Gabrielson, Salem, Ore.
By Numbers Only.
As convicts are discharged from the
Oregon penitentary hereafter they will
be knovvu by numbersonly, their names
being withheld from the public. Sup
erintendent Gibert has adopted this
policy a9 a possible protection to the
released convicts. Some have a desire
to hide their prison record from the
outside world, and with the view that
the fact that they are ex-convicts may
not operate to handicap them ia the
business world, their names will not
hereafter appear in the papers upon
their discharge. It is the custom of
the state prison, howeyer, to furnish
on the first of each month the police
department of Portland and Salem
with a list of the names of convicts to
t discharged during that month,
