The Benson bouse adjourned slnedie at 1 o'clock yesterday and the members are leaving for borne. The joint con vention also adjourned slue die at noon. Simon claimed that the senate could not adjourn without a day, and ruled that the senate stand adjourned until to-day at 10 o'cIock. Many Benson senators are going home. Simon says those w ho are left will meet from day to day, as will also the the Davis house. They will try to get favorable recogni tion from the court, theu order the ser geant at arms to bring the absent members back, A test case will be made In Ibe courts within the next few days. It is thus an open questlou whether there will yet be a session of the legislature, a senator elected, and remedial laws enacted. If the courts dechle in fever of the Benson house the governor may call a special session of the legislature. The fact that 45 days have been wasted was considered sufficient proof thet no agreement could be reached, and It was fi lly to wait any longer. It is quite likely that tbe adjournment Wlliatiuk, Improve Our Schools. LkbanoN , Or. , Feb . 24, I8S7. Editor Ksi'imss: .As the I Inn of our annual school meeting Is near at hand, when ques tions concerning our public school will no doubt be discussed, I desire to brief ly mention oue or two points. I believe we now have a good school, wortliy of the support of us all. Cer tainly our publlo schools should receive ourattt'iition, for we look to them, and to them only, for the education of the masses. Our public school should be as good us any In the county or for that rr atter as good as any hi the state. In order to have such a school we must keep abreast with the times and do high school work. Surely we cannot afford to stop with the 8th grade, thereby depriviug our children of a common school educa tion. Children have been turned away from our pul lie school In former years when tbey had goue through the U. 8. history. Poor children turned out on tbe commons without an education and without money to Becure it. Surely our public school should fit our boys aud girls with sufficient text book knowledge to enable them to secure a third grade certificate, or at least to enter some college If they go desired. To con dm them down to the 8tb grade would compel them to at tend the preparatory department of some college Iroiu two to four years to receive the education that, they should receive in our public school. ! There Is auother matter that I desire to speak of, and one that will, no doubt, lie discussed in our coming school meeting, and that is In regard to school buildings. As every one knows, tbe present building does not afford accommodation for all. I believe our children should all be In one school building. Nearly all school bouses ouilt now in towns of this size, smaller and larger, contain eight rooms and afford accommodations for from 400 to 600 children. By having the school all together more Interest is taken in the school and the children have more and better advantages, thereby keep ing down jealousies that would arise from two or three schools or different buildings. I understand we are now paying sixteen dollars a month for tbe rent of two rooms. Why not pay that turn towards a building of our own, and! give our children an education that we may all be proud of? X Home Talent Tnumpbant. Tbe W. R. C, entertainment given Tuesilay evening was a "howling suc cess" in fact it was a great success, aud the "Sour Kraut Brigade" did some comical bowling, consequently we feel justified in calling It a "bowl ing auccets," Quite a large audience was present, the neat sum of $38 belli", realized from tbe sale ot tickets. However, If money was not so bard to obtain now a-days the ladies would have bad a much larger house, which they really merit ed, as they worked hard to make the drama as pleasing as possible, and also their expenses were quite heavy. Miss Fannie Hughes impersonated tile heroine iu such a realUtio manner that she wat heartily applauded. Miss Hullie Baker, as Kate Spencer, Is also entitled to much credit for her splen did acting. Lyle Baker had a difficult task the Impersonation of tbe hero, Julian Farns worth, and his disguises. This necessitated the acting of four different characters a northern gentleman, a Dutch corporal, a Dutch justice of the peace, aud an Irish woman but Lyle has aucti talent as an actor that Web ster's Unabridged contains but few words that would express the great de light of tbe audience while he was on the stage. However, (Jeorge Raudle was a close second iu his character of a negro, If Oeorge can be beaten in acting the part of a comical darkey, it is only by a first-class professional actor. We have never seen his equal among ama teurs. Henry Smith was the heavy villain a part that requires much at llity to do justice to the character. But Henry has that ability and can be. very vil lainous on the stage. Space forbids Individual mention of th" several other actors, bat each and every one did well. Crawford & McKnlght'e orchestra furnished music for tbe occasion. The cost umea were very complete, as piouilsed. Bv the way, it will be a long time before the costumes worn by the "Sour Kraut Brigade" will be for gotten by the members of the audience. Iu closing, it is but due to Mrs. G W. Cruson to state that nuch of the success was by reason of her zealous efforts iu making preparations for the drama.

Editor Exfkkss: ''" The lecture by Mrs. Hoffman Inst Thursday evening was well attended and highly appreciated, We wish we could give an abstract, but cau only present some of her thoughts as we re member them. Her whole lecture was to answer the oft repeated question, "What has the W. C. T. U, accomplished?" She con- fined herself to actual facts within her memory, Socially, she referred to the time when liquor was served at every gath ering from a christening to a burial, and to its comparative disuse to-day; to the former use of liquor in high life, especially In Washington, and to tbe check it has received, mentioning as influential In bringing about the change, Sec, Window and wife, Pres. Hayes and wife, and Mrs. Cleveland. Industrially, she menlloued the fact that formerly no temperauce restric tions were made upon train men, tell ing of an engineer who was helped Into his cab "to sleep his drunk off." The change In thl- direction is well known. Within her memory all farm work was done by hand, and laborers In large bands worked long and hard to harvest the crops, receiving their liquor regularly in the field. Her father at last refused to furnish the customary liquor and found that, better work aud less quarreling was done. She spoke of the vote taken in the house of representatives to abolish the saloons in the capital buliding. Religiously, she told of the time when church members and pastors used liquor freely, when there were spittoons at every pew and a larger one for the pulpit.' When she began to lecture, there was great fear lest a woman speaker, especially if she should touch on politics, should con taminate the sacred edflce scented with tobacco. Now a pastor or church official who uses liquor or tobacco "has not a heaveuly time on earth, what ever he may have hereafter." Referring to the time of the "Wom en's Crusade," she told ol tbe women who went before congress iu behalf of the reformed men to whom liquor was readily sold, aud of their reception by men who were "as sweet as honey and as deceitful as Satan." Convinced that the only practical way is to train the children, the women by their petitions have caused scientific temperance Instruction to be given in tbe public schools. Through their Influence the U. 8. Nival cadets are forbir'den the use of liquor. They have also worked to secure ihe cigarette laws that have been passed. She suggested that our own legislature might have done some thing in the temperauce line, if it bad organized in time. By petitions of W. C. T. U. workers the unjust laws concerning the protec tion of girls have been amended. The "legal age of consent" Is changed from childhood to womanhood. Mrs. Hoff man would no sooner trust women alone to legislate for men than men alone to legislate for women. Defeudlng herself for not attacking the saloon keeper, she explained that the saloon keeper is as good as bis saloon, his saloon as good as those who license it, those who license it as good as tbe law which permits them to do so, the law as good as tbe legisla tors, and the legislators as good as the people who elect them. She spoke of the legislative troubles 03 tending to bring about the election of senators by the people directly, and the system of initiative and referen dum. The closing appeal was to help the W. C. T. U. workers and not to cow ardly wait to see what they accom plished. A Hearer, Last Monday evening a large audi ence was present at the Baptist ohurch t listen to Rev. Lindsey's address on "Maccabeeiem." He charmed his au dience by bis eloquent argument con cerning tbe benefits of the order. He took his text from the bible, and de clared that it was the duty of every man to take out insurance so as to protect his family in time of need. We are informed that there have been sev eral applications for membership as a result of the meeting. We do not be long to this order, hut judging from the interest displayed by the members and the fact that the order pays up Its obligations promptly, It Is a good one.
